I'm a bit surprised Mottom is catering to her abusive husband's needs after trying to kill him. She, Goddess of the seven part world, Imperiatrix of the Gates of Fire.
But I guess it's necessary for her eternal life. She did admit to being a coward.
I could see Demon being novel and amusing - especially the first few chapters - if you're reading it as a compiled comic rather than a daily webcomic, and also your point of reference is print comics
A lot of the pacing does work much better a chapter at a time, rather than a day at a time. It doesn't make the plot holes go away, or the characters less awful, but some bits of it feel quite different as a book, rather than when you're waiting 30 days for someone to finish falling off a building.
I think being sucked into an underground river and drowning and also panicking to death due to the utter blackness and mind-shitting confinement is probably one of the worst possible ways to go
Broke as fuck and the bills past due, all amounts assist and are kindly received.

It's right up there with being burned to death using smokey the bandit flyers.
I would like some money because these are artisanal nuggets of wisdom philistine.
Whenever people ask me if anything 'surprised' me about Japan, this is usually my answer. I'm not sure I ever saw what we would think of as a 'normal' bar in Kurihara. It was all Snack Bars. I only ever want to one alone once, and it was a very strange and expensive evening. It ended when I saw one of the ladies take some money out of the wallet of a passed out patron and then call him a cab. You knew this was not the first time they had this interaction. Seemed like a good time to head home.
Edit: Apparently she was... misinformed by her coworkers what "nijikai" meant, here's the original:
Yeah, nijikai is second party. I had some parties even go to a sanjikai (third party) and one once went to a yonjikai (4th). It's basically every time you change locations. Which just involves a group of drunken teachers stumbling from one side of town to another. It's something special.
Also, snack bars are like the most depressing god damn thing in the world. It is just sad stacked on top of sad. The gardener at my school loved one local snack bar, the girls there were from the Philippines and could speak English and missed speaking it, so he would try to drag me there every chance he got to try and impress them to make them like him more. To the point where he lied to me multiple times about where we were going, once going so far to say that it was his birthday party, before I caught on as to what he was doing. When we went for "his" birthday party, it was actually the birthday party of his favorite girl at the snack bar and he brought her a giant bouquet of flowers like the size of a person, a bunch of other gifts, an expensive thing of booze to drink with her... and within like 30 minutes of being there she got a call from some other patron of the bar she had to take and then left to be with him. Like I said, the most depressing god damn places on the planet.
Our town used to have a decent, actual bar that for some bizarre reason had like the best Caribbean jerk chicken in the world. It was called LaLaLa Bar and was the side business of the local bad kids turned responsible community focused adults that ran one of the local car repair shops. Nice place, pool tables and karaoke and tons of food and booze. But I think they closed down right when Mary was getting into town and they became another snack bar. Such is rural life in Japan.
Do they not have strip clubs over there or something?

Not out where I was, at least. Can't speak for the big cities. But, I mean, we have pretty similar things over here like Hooters for example.
Is it just me, or is Ronnie's shirt more-than-usually undone in today's Whomp!?
Face to Facade
You want a face that says, “Look at me. Now look away in initial shock. Now look again. Internalize the surreal dysfunction glaring back at you. Never look back, for the terror face always looks forward.”

It just occurred to me that Kevin and Kell is my soap opera webcomic crack.

North World: Epic of Conrad ran as a webcomic in 2007-2008. The original webcomic site is now down, but the comic is available on the author's website. It has also been published by Oni Press as a paperback
holy shit
This is soooooo me!

I read it semi randomly, sometimes months go by without reading a script.
Usually this offers no impediment to understanding what is going on.

Hey Johnny? These are great, but that last one? That might not be a string you want to pull on considering some of your earlier troubles in that area.

maybe the burning fires of carina's passion for mark will tell her that he is still alive.

He suggested that he might be able to come back for them.
Against the current.
In what is probably complete darkness.
It was not a well thought through plan.
