I thought that was pretty cool too.

My theory is that Garry and the thing are in some kind of psychic zone. If Garry dies here he dies for real, but if he is able to somehow kill it, He'll be ok no matter how much it hurts him, and Demaro'll be hosed.

Then maybe if he lives he will leave the trolls to find out what exactly happened to him and he'll figure out some crazy metaphysical poo poo.

Of course, if anything, we could still have Android Garry around. :unsmith:

Garry is a bad guy. It is a testament to LB's writing that I am sad and upset that a non-video game/cereal mascot is going to die. You got me to care about, not just an OC, Lazer, but a badguy OC.

Bravo.

Listen to reason, man. Why make your job difficult?
You have to stop and admire how Lazerbot is using daylight to such an effect as it seems almost scarier than the dark cave. It really hammers in how exposed Garry is now.

It is strange we're all so upset about Garry's passing, considering;

A) He burnt a little girl to death
B) We've only knownn his name for two chapters

Two chapters, sure. But that's been, like, 5 months.

There's something very funny about the juxtaposition of horrific brutality and that cartoon ghost wave-y lower body thing. But I guess that's pretty much the point of the comic.

I'm so depressed, I can't even blink.
I hope Garry's soul is powerful enough to take control of the monster instead of being devoured. I like that Garry's soul's face isn't mutilated at all.

Edit: I non-ironically wrote that sentence. I'm one of those people.

I don't. It'd detract from the magnificence that was his death, and lower the bar for the comic all-around.

Garry's not dead. His ghost is going to a soul fusion thing with Underbite Troll's ghost for the ultimate form. I just know it.

This is picture is truly the essence of Garry. Face ripped off, covered in gigantic vines, and he's still grinning his steely grin and shouting obscenities. Quite the troll's troll. :patriot:

drat Deamro, your lower than a troll. Trolls only keep their harassment of their victims on Earthrealm. Harassing/Devouring them in the Spirit World is kinda creepy and stalkery in all honesty. Also soul eating is going to lead to literal Helldumping too.

Not as strong as you'd expect.

You'd think so, but this only means that Gary is in demon-boy's head. Taunting. FOREVER.

Of course this may also mean he's gotten the knowledge Gary picked up. Now that WOULD be something major.

I know he's probably just dead, but I would love lazerbot forever if he did one of these. :allears: They're really the best possible outcomes, for Garry and for the comic.

Not in any I've read. Generally, they gently caress with the actual shape of the word balloon, and distort the text in other ways like shrinking or twisting, but blurring's pretty unusual.

I think what I'm sad about is that with Garry dead and double dead, there's no more Avatar influences in the comic. He was the only bender, being an Earthbender.

The reason why he has the wispy ghost bottom is that his soul legs are still in his real legs.

The ghosts were part of the troll army that attacked his adoptive people. Pacman ate their legs; only their upper bodies became the ghosts.
