It will be interesting to see how he pulls this off, since it flies in the face of TGT's rule (so far) of whoever dies, stays dead (until resurrected and used as a meat puppet).

Don't be distracted by the reappearance of Teemo! Obviously a red herring meant to distract you all from the very obvious goddamn Pikachu!

I didn't notice that the first time I read the page. :aaa: I can't remember, is this the first time a Pokemon has appeared in the comic?

Shadow knitting is great, but there's something that most of you are overlooking:


that poo poo about 2012 is true but they
was just off on the date. 2012 your late.

It's probably 2013 in TGT-land. Time either flows really, really fast there or some of the lengthier segments have taken ages in their time as well. I could easily believe either.

If TGT started like a year or so ago, and it now is 2013 in the TGT-universe just as it is here, does that mean the story has been progressing in real time? As in, Demaros and Garys fight took several weeks?

This is actually the biggest revelation of this update.

Also I like how Chunky Kong looks so drat surprised to see Teemo. He's never even seen him before.

Maybe it works kind of like in Breaking Bad:

quote:

When Walt is meeting with Todd's uncle, there's a reference to the Bin Laden assassination. I'd always assumed the show was taking place in 2007 or 2008, given when it started and how little time has passed for Walt, but that's a much more recent reference. When does this show actually take place?

Vince Gilligan: We do have a few inoncsistencies here and there, to be sure. We try not to set it in any particular time. Going backwards, I don't think we ever say. We do have clues, like in the first episode, Walt's handicap placard has the date 2007 on it, which if I had my druthers, I'd go back and change. Every now and then you'll see a license plate or something else, like a plaque in Pollos Hermanos saying it was voted "Favorite Restaurant 2010." As time has progressed, a few of these things have slipped by. But in my mind's eye, this is the present. What I mean by that is, I like people in 2007 thinking this is the present, and now in 2012 thinking this is the present. At a certain point, 20 years from now, it will, based on clothing and technology and cars, it'll begin to feel more of a specific time, but in my mind's eye I see it as continually the present. That's also why we don't ever say what month it is.

Actually, I had to really think about this one. Yes, I remember now that I did knit with points up, but for a while in my head there, it seemed like it'd feel so natural to hold them like 2 pencils. Lazerbot just invented a new style of knitting.

Tiny Kong asks Shadow why he's knitting, and Shadow replies that he already explained the plan to her. Does that mean whatever he's knitting will be part of the plan?

Actually, Shadow was knitting in Everdraed's animated version (and I suspect you meant to type "it was knitting in the animated version"), and I'd guess that lazerbot is making a (brilliant) callback to that animation. I'd be surprised if lazerbot had knitting in mind when he originally drew page 2 of the comic.

Was there ever a newspaper in the comic?

I think most people would probably guess some sort of paper (a newspaper or some other paper) for what Shadow is holding in TGT page 2 if they just had lazerbot's drawing to look at, but it's far from clear. Everdraed hilariously turned it into knitting. I don't remember a newspaper showing up elsewhere in the comic...

Obviously, it's either a magic canan or a magic mountain that Teemo crashed into. Knuckles has been planning ahead.

I've forgotten who's even in the Troll Slaiyers at this point. Shadow's the leader and the Hulk is the only original member who's still with them at this point. They've been joined by Knuckles, Bowser, Vector and Donkey Kong. Who else is with them?

Knuckles left after seeing Shadow kill the Anime Village, and DK wanted to help kill Mario but he's too busy because he got the clap from Rouge back in Chapter 1 so he had some dude named Guy, Tiny Kong and Chunky Kong help out in his place. There's also the bounty hunter Shadow hired. Now that Teemo is back with Pikachu that makes three of the original Troll Slaiyers.

I have to agree I love the "what the gently caress" from the narration too.

Back in chapter 1 the trolls called Sonic and Tails Pokemon as a derogatory term, that's it.

Like, the correct term is "pocket monsters," and it's highly offensive to refer to one as a pokemon.
