    Marvelous.

    I really wish I could remember the human's name though. Why is Carl Swangee more memorable than that guy's name?

    Also oddly enough if you go to the main page and click on "Comic" it is listed as Automata Page Five.

    God panel 4 is fantastic. Just look at it. But yeah, the transition from panel 1-2 is a little odd in that he's firing upwards and then we see a bullet go straight through the drum. The transition in the last two panels bothered me a little bit but after looking at it I've come to like it. Kind of an abrupt knock/fade out as they hit the concrete.

    I wonder if the newspost is a plot point.
    Musical Selection: "Goodbye, Goodnight" performed by John Barclay and his New Revue, original author(s) unknown.

    That's the song that made Carl crazy. And they're playing it on the radio.

    I like the original author(s) unknown bit.

    I could be entirely over-thinking this but wouldn't the bullet hole in the bass drum not have any splayed edges if it had been going into the drum from the side facing away from the drummer?

    Thanks to your deductive reasoning, gang, I think we have all the clues we need now to crack the case.

    The one who REALLY shot the bullet was...
    Red Herring!

    In Retrospect Red beside being a jerk never did anything. Poor guy was just continually harassed by Freddy. For all we know dude went to church regularly and gave half his liver to a sick nun.

    Actually, I distinctly remember one episode where Fred had to promise not to accuse Red Herring of anything for an entire mystery, and then the bad guy actually turned out to be Red, trying to get back at Fred for accusing him of wrongdoing all the time.

    his sig is pretty awesome though.


    I wonder if an Automata video game would be any good. I mean the world is awesome, the characters are great (so far), but what would the gameplay be like? Is looking for clues, solving crimes and seeing the story unfold enough? Does that make the game part even necessary? Because I think any form of heavy action might take away from what it is.

    I dunno, I just started thinking about walking around in this world and it tickled me.

    I recall it too. Red sort of flipped out at the end. Like I said can't blame him. Pushed to crime by a gang of vicious youths.
