Description Still internetless, I'm slowly slipping into madness

Poor Kurt. I don't know if he ever pondered his death, but if he did- I bet that the thought of being possesed and having his head explode never crossed his mind.
Ralph on the other hand often thought about death, though he was more concerned about the pain rather than the death alone- and he did hope it would hurt less than that.

Bye Ralph. Sorry your fictional life sucked like that.

This scene was supposed to be at least two strips long but mbleh, in the end I decided not to make it too dramatic. Instead it came out rushed and all eh-like, but it will have to do I guess. And the reason there are words in this strip? Hahahaha well...it's a tribute of sorts, I used to do that with possesed Sligs. I mean, I was all polite and saying 'hi!', waiting for them to reply and only then would I shoot them. It used to amuse me greatly, but now, when I think about it, it just seems...wrong. Even if they were only computer game characters...I mean- come on. I was a twisted little girl.

Sligs belong to OWI.

Though I hate Sligs in game, because of killing young innocent Mudokons, they are exactly the same hostages of civilization. I feel sorry for them here. Gunned down by his comrade, though he didn't even relise why this happened. Did the second Slig understood, what he was forced to do, before die?
Whole Oddworld is tragedy...

I didn't say "Hi", I said "LOOK OUT!" and they'd say "HELP!" and THEN I shot them. Lol.

I know that game - as soon as the slig explodes, I'd laugh along with Abe. Eh-he-he.

Yup. Possession is a lot like that. Nice work- I like how it's black and white except for the red. those are a good mix.

Not to mention the bad habit of laughing whenever he meat-grinded those poor sloggies and carefree sligs.
Abe's got a pathology concerning his attitude towards killing others.

Dang, he doesn't even flinch when he accidentally kills one of his own. "Lol, oops."

I just wanted to say, I've read all of these comics thus far, and when I finished this one last night, I was on the verge of crying. I'm not kidding. The characters you've made are so likable it hurts to see them killed (even if it is fun to possess/kill Sligs in the games).

I want to thank you for making these, too. The first three Oddworld games are sort of my thing now and it's so refreshing to see that there are still fans out there, especially ones that create fun, unique comics such as these. Well done!

This is the thing I always wondered when I played these games: Are the Sligs still aware when you posses them? Are they watching as their bodies disobey them and kill the people around them? Its truly a terrible thought.

The funny thing about all of this is, I can hear the chanting in my head, a boom, followed by Abe's laugh

"Nuun nuun nuun nuun... BOOM! hehehe"
