He hasn't gotten the brainwave to start recruiting yet. He's still in 'useful cog'/henchman mode.

Knowing Gary, though - he'd probably recruit at local Ren Faires and comic conventions. I can see it now:

"Dude, who smells like poo poo?" *sniffs everybody* "You! Recruit Roose Bolton, why do you smell like poo poo?"

"My mom hasn't done my laundry this week, sir!"

"Y...*facepalms*...UNACCEPTABLE! From now on you're to be known as Recruit Reek!"

In retrospect, holy poo poo

It also calls back to the two best-known super-soldier programs: the government-led Super-Soldier Program that created Captain America, and the Weapon X program that upgraded Wolverine.

For what it's worth, Weapon X was just one of (thousands?) of attempts of recreating the Super-Soldier program so it might as well be one and the same.

Something that's been bugging me : when cornered by the abominations at the end, Doc says that Venturestein was once a henchman to two people in butterfly costumes. I see the Monarch, but who's the other one?

The Monarch and The Monarch.

He was two henchmen.

Hey other shirt club peeps. Should I have received my bonus shirt yet? I've received Paleomon, URGH, Hank Co, and Destiny, but not the shirt club EXTRA COLOR one.

Or does that come at the end or what's the deal there?

Haven't been keeping up with the thread...but anyone else in the US not get all their shirts? The last one I got was the Council of 13 shirt. I got it on the 5th of August, and no shirts or emails since then.

There should be 2 more, right? The Henchman one that's like what Gary/24 had, and the bonus "TECHNICOLOR" one?

I'm the exact same boat, but they've been slow all around so I'm not exactly worried.

Whenever a discussion of cloning comes up, it always reminds me of this old cartoon...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pdxucpPq6Lc

I saw this cartoon late at night on Cartoon Network (O, Canada) when I was like, 9 years old maybe, and I like to think that this alone is responsible for all the anxiety and depression I suffered as a teenager.

:stare: Jesus Christ, the humor in this is pitch black for what appears to be a short for children. She effectively commits suicide by teleporter so her clone can live guilt-free!

My understanding is that O, Canada was like What A Cartoon in that it was animation students final projects. Also it aired at like 1am or something so as to not air it for kids

If you like that stuff, you should check out the Hothouse series. The NFB did (I'm pretty sure 2012 was the last year because TORY HATE ARTS FUNDING TORY WANT REVENGE) a series of annual internship programs where aspiring animators were supported through the process of doing shorts. Some are really weird or cool. There's this great one from like, series two where a guy drinks in a bar during a storm and the icecube in his drink melts in real time throughout the short.

Family Guy exists only because of What A Cartoon, and Adventure Time (and arguably Gravity Falls, Steven Universe, Regular Show, Uncle Grandpa, Problem Solverz, Bravest Warriors, Bee and Puppycat, others that I'm forgetting) from Nickelodeon's equivalent, so I think it's kind of a shame that there's not any shows like that on the air anymore that just show like, student films/indie cartoons/etc

Or maybe the age of the internet has made them irrelevant, I dunno.

I'm too old to wear ironic cotton Ts and it's too expensive anyways, but gently caress it I'm doing shirt club this year.

I think the only shirt I wear out of the last batch is Shallow Gravy

I'd wear the HankCo shirt if it weren't on white.

But hell time to roll the dice on another batch of shirts that I'll keep telling myself will some day be a quilt

As is always the case, New York Comic Con is coming up in a week and I've got no ideas for costumes, despite compiling a list for the full year*, and I decide that maybe I'll go against that moral code and recycle a costume for once

Then I had a few glasses of scotch and here we are



So uhhhhhhh I guess this is happening?





* just after NYCC last year I came up with the idea of dressing as Brrrrrick Frog but given the current political environment I really really don't want people thinking I'm a nazi dressed as Pepe
