High praise of superficiality.

All too human.

Comradebot was warned for this.

Removed. Apology below.

Sometimes these Child's Play strips feel pretty forced. The logo doesn't help. I'm glad we made it all of two posts into this thread before people starting creeping out on a real life human being, though. That might be a record on the Internet.

The megacynics comic looks pretty good too.

Dorauko

Good comic for a great cause.

I dunno..I thought the comic was pretty cute for what it was, and it's always nice to see Mike & Jerry promoting their fellow creators.

@ COMRADEBOT Don't be a creep.

I'd say this is actually one of the better Child's Play strips, seeing as at least a couple of the previous ones have literally just been about how Mike and Jerry forgot to do them. Plus the strips that play off Mike and Jerry's artist/writer dynamic are always amusing to me.

Smoogy

Preening and sulking...hehe. Very nice!

It's big of you to point out that out, thank you. I'll see if we can do something about getting the money back from the hospitals.

Managing artists = herding cats.

There's a lot of big charity stuff going on today. Twitch has a handful of streams going, as well. It's always so astonishing how successful the charity streams are. I effing love it. It becomes a donate-off among anons.

I might be woefully out of the loop but have Mike and Jerry done a charity twitch stream before?

Literally zero value in this post, whatsoever.

Comradebot

Er, wait, she's... she's a real person?

I, uh... I didn't know that. Literally zero idea. Heck, didn't even notice the Child's Play bit in the title.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I'll go sulk in the corner, maybe see if that's where I left that piece of my soul I just inadvertently cleaved off. And if Ash reads this, I sincerely apologize and I'll remove the comment.


Sincerely,
Some poor sap who legitimately didn't know he was making an immature comment about a real living, breathing human being

@Comradebot it was an honest mistake and I'm sure no one will hold it against you.

Child's Play strips are great, if only for that episode of PATV where the week before the auction Mike asks "did we do the charity strip from last year yet?" and Jerry is all "...no."

First time I think they've actually stuck the logo and a thanks mark on it tho?

I feel I'm reading that last panel wrong.
I see two avenues of depiction in Tycho's mannerism:
The first being that he's trying to correct his previous comment about "pawing in the earth".
The second being that he's completely oblivious and, with the way "art" was bolded and italicized, it was alluding that artists sculpt poop. Poop men.

I assume the first one is what they wanted to present, but having a history of Tycho's and Gabe's oblivious natures, the second one feels more natural.
Hell, I know I've shoved my foot further in my mouth without realizing it after I've already managed to stick it in there with a previous comment.

Inquisitor

Man I am just absolutely in love with panel two of this comic.

It's just perfect, Tycho's expression and his hands and "preening and sulking" and just...

It's just splendid.
