Monthly Webcomic Update
Since I've been sort of moving to a monthly format anyway...
Sluggy Freelance — Zoe tries to put the gang to work, but she should know by now how that works out. Torg buys a Global Peanut butter Positioning System, and attempts to make Peanut Butter and Jelly sandwiches using Gwynn as a guinea pig. One clutter golem later, Zoe kicks Gwynn, Riff, and Torg (along with the clutter monster) out of the apartment, even though it technically belongs to Torg. They can come back once they clean it up. Torg, Gwynn, and Riff make up, at least, and Torg manages to recruit one of those home improvement shows to help him clean up. And then, since Zoe said he has to get a hobby, he draws a comic book, which has shown in all it's, um, glory, this past week.
Day by Day — Sam convinces Damon and Jan to do a political podcast, mainly to keep them out of the new parents' hair. So that's what they do. We get numerous comics of the two of them discussing politics for the podcast, and talking to callers, a few of whom want to discuss politics too. Damon's has a hard time dealing with the fact that McCain's the de facto Republican nominee. Of course, Obama's throwing the Democratic side of the election for a loop. Even Damon's thinking of voting for him, mainly because he thinks Obama will unite Republicans against him later on. Oh, and I just noticed: Zed's wearing a Schlock Mercenary t-shirt in this one.
Scary Go Round — Amy decides to help Ryan get a girlfriend, but it doesn't really go anywhere. Hugo tires of their antics and gives Amy money to go get a hobby while taking Ryan under his wing. So Amy starts an antique store, and all's going well, until she meets her rival at a garage sale. Mr. Lovelace challenges her to a contest, and it turns out that Amy's met someone she can't outdrink. It looks like the two of them are rapidly bonding though, much to the distaste of the two old ladies who own the competing shop across the way. They've decided to start a smear campaign on Amy's character. One would think that they wouldn't have to make up dirt.
Dominic Deegan — The Oracle Huntress has tracked down Dominic, stabbing him and infecting him with a nasty virus, which he manages to fight off. But it's not pretty. Unfortunately, she's coming back, after the revelation that she's Dominic's half-sister. The defenses they put up against her aren't enough, and she soon finds Dominic. He may be more than she can handle, though.
College Roomies from Hell!!! — The catfight between Marsha and April is interrupted when the Dragon shows up and one of her goons shoots Marsha. I'd say it was a good thing to keep Marsha from murdering April, except, first, I'm not sure Marsha survived, and second, being captured by the Dragon is even worse. When she discovers that April is pregnant, the Dragon has ideas. Meanwhile, Blue brings Dave to meet up with Marsha and go a-murdering, but Dave wants nothing to do with it. Blue kicks Dave out of the car, and immediately goes back once she calms down, but Dave's gone (sounds like Jay got him). So she goes to the circus where April should be and finds that that's gone too. All in all, not a good night for Blue. Or Dave. Or April, or Marsha.
Schlock Mercenary — Having been captured, Tagon's crew is facing execution for knowing too much about Project Laz'r'us. Fortunately, Petey is on the case and able to threaten revealing it to the world, and Dr. Bunningus is able to offer up an alternative: modify the crew's memories to erase the knowledge. It's agreed, but Schlock manages to keep a small bit of himself unaffected, so he can take revenge for his mistreatment.
