Monthly Webcomic Update
Sluggy Freelance — When the apartment over Torg's vacates, there's a game of musical apartments as everyone rushes to vacate Torg's. Unfortunately, Zoe and Gwynn beat Torg to it, and then trade it to Monica, who is, as always, after Riff. What no one realizes at the time is that Monica isn't in love with Riff--she's working for the K'z'k team, and she's there to keep an eye on Torg and company. Yikes! Since then, Torg Potter and the Goblet of Gibblets has begun. Once again, Torg's at Hogglerynth, trying to survive being illegally entered in the tri-gizzard tournament. What's worse, Millard Stoop, Mr. You-Probably-Don't-Know-Who, is back. Torg wants to know why he ended up in this mess, how come nobody remembered who Millard Stoop was until recently, and why he has to be the decoy for the real Torg Potter. Fortunately, he has Homogenize and Weaslo to help him out.
Day by Day — Damon's voting Obama, mainly because he thinks that his very left-wing agenda will make it possible for the Republicans to win next time. Next, Obama's middle name becomes an issue, especially when it's out-of-bounds to use it. Democrats are dealing with their delegate selection process, which involves a bit of the chickens coming home to roost. Then there's a lot of Damon's and Jan's podcast, including the "Screeching Inversion," the theory that yelling without facts doesn't help the cause. Hmm, I'd say that's a pretty accurate way to look at it. Obama's church issues is also fair game. And there's even a mention of Fitna.
Scary Go Round — Despite Ryan's protests, the smear campaign against Amy goes well enough to get her store burned down. Lovelace goes in to save Melanie, but when he fails to return, Ryan has to do the saving. Everyone assumes he dies, but we later find out that his pal was the one who set the fire, and he used it as cover to steal Amy's novelty dishware. Yikes, he's not such a good guy after all.The Boy is visiting France, where he meets up with his old penpal, the French girl who originally gave him the "boy" moniker. He still hasn't quite gotten over that. In the meanwhile, France is in the midst of an Easter crisis, as they've replaced their culturally unique bell with the Americanized Easter Bunny. Except that this particular Easter Bunny is awfully big and has really sharp teeth.
Dominic Deegan — Dominic's mom, master of illusion, captures the Oracle Hunter, who turns out to be Luna's sister, Barnet. Dominic questions her, trying to find out who hired her, but he doesn't learn much. Then Celesto shows up to repay Dominic by destroying Barnet's psyche, and now it's up to Dominic to dive into her mind to save her. Yikes, he never gets a break, does he?
College Roomies from Hell!!! — Blue's concerned over Dave's disappearance, so she's taking measures to find him, including interrogating her brother, Louis. Dave himself is dreaming about his high school days as a peeping tom. Shame on him! Margaret caught onto him and was about to lay the smack down when her house exploded. Hmm, it looks like Dave was there for the whole thing. I'm not sure what those guys in the helmet are all about, but perhaps that's just the now-reality intruding on the dream-reality, as it looks like Damascus has him.
Schlock Mercenary — Petey's been double-crossed, as the memory alteration given to Tagon's crew makes them think he abandoned them. They're doing all right, at least until Tagon overpays them, and the majority of his non-human mercenaries decide to retire. Of course, mercenaries living long enough to retire, and making enough money to retire early, serves as great advertising, and there's no shortage of new recruits, including a young roboticist who has quite a reputation with the robots.
