Oooooooooooh!

This new page is pretty cool. I was actually starting to hear that kind of Latin chorus action-anime music in my head when Coyote says he's finishing the fight.

:smuggo:: Hmm he isn't perfect yet, better wind him up some more
:grin:: Yo, Demaro, you're super cool, man, I wish we could be partners
:smugjones:: but now it's time to finish this, and I won't even enjoy it

This is an encouraging development...!

Coyote and Demaro have been fighting for what...at least 2 years realtime now?

Seemingly, Coyote OUGHT to win this fight. Coyote's been hyped up to be the quintessential Neutral. But, Demaro has gotten a disproportionate share of attention in the comic, and he IS an originalcharacterdonotsteal.

From a storytelling perspective, a Coyote victory seems odd, since a Demaro victory would ramp up the suspense, and his defeat would make his character development sort of a fake-out.

As I've alluded to before, I think there's a distinct possibility that the skeleton centipede behind Demaro's third eye will abandon him (which will almost certainly lead to his death) to (try to) possess Coyote.

Is Tails even in this anymore?? There's kind of a huge backlog, is any of it worth going through?

Eh... somebody posted an overview recently of where it went off the rails. Honestly it hasn't been terribly compelling for a while. If you're on the fence, just keep on the new pages. Right now I think TGT probably jumped the shark but maybe if this awful fight ever ends something will actually happen.

God, this fight had been so long I forgot there's a whole other thing outside of it. There's Tails' training, Cheetoman being a villain, and there's still the matter of the Troll King having a super powerful skill that destroys everyone. Rob with no ears is still out there, too.

Rob and the Lightning guy were fighting, but coyote mentions he doesn't see the fire and lightning in the distance anymore :oh dear:

I'm pretty sure that was Silver's splinter group. I'm not sure Shadow's Troll Slaiyers have actually killed a single troll since they were formed. Shadow did murder an entire innocent village though.

Demaro slayed more trolls than Troll Slaiyers did, and he's on their side.

How much of a backlog are we talking?

The weed party + Amy backstory is the lowest point of TGT (so far), but you might want to check out the Amy backstory for the artwork. From a technical standpoint, it might be Lazerbot's finest.

toanoradian posted:

Demaro's agenda is his own. On the last page of Chapter 9, he states that his goal is to become the most powerful satanist and kill all the Neutrals (including Coyote). The whole reason the fight broke out between him and his brother Garry (Chapter 11, page 17) was that Demaro wanted to kill Elmer Fudd and eat his brains to find out where the Neutrals' hideout is. But, Garry's first loyalty is to the trolls, and the trolls need Elmer Fudd because he has turned into a technological genius by having eaten Eggman's brains, and can therefore build the trolls their robot army, and revive the man in the ice (Chapter 12, page 18).

I posted a plot synopsis a while back ( https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3467407&userid=39233#post444860193 ), and it's mostly still accurate. Of note since then:
  • We now know that the Defenders are a front for Cheetoh Man's drug and prostitution empire, and that Cheetoh Man can keep the others in line because he has their loved ones held hostage. (It is still not clear whether the Defenders have always been controlled by Cheetoh Man, or whether Pac-Man's story of the group's origin is genuine, and Cheetoh Man later subverted the Defenders to his ends.)
  • Tails and Hello Kitty (Cheetoh Man's wife) had sex. Cheetoh Man now wants Tails dead.
  • Knuckles and Amy had sex.
  • Amy, who has been suicidally depressed since Sonic's death, agreed to become one of Cheetoh Man's prostitutes. Knuckles revealed his elaborate plot to infect Cheetoh Man with gonorrhea by inviting infected girls to the weed party. List of known or suspected gonorrhea cases: Rouge, Donkey Kong, Knuckles, Shadow, Hello Kitty, Tails, Tonya (Cheetoh Man's favorite whore), Cheetoh Man, Candy Kong, Jessie, Patti Mayonnaise, Spyro. Cheetoh Man is now also gunning for Knuckles.
  • Rouge, Amy, Jessie, Candy Kong, and Patti were murdered by Cheetoh Man.
  • As a desperate gamble to prevent Cheetoh Man from killing her, Hello Kitty told him she was pregnant.

Edit:
This is the very beginning of the Coyote-Demaro fight, posted October 9, 2012. So, that fight has been going on for almost five years real-time now.

Trust me, Robob, it has been a while. I think they were just introducing the satanist cult stuff? I remember everyone wearing black robes and smoking weed. Chester Cheetah was in the mix for some reason. It's like a half-remembered dream.

That fight is just an extension of a previous fight with Garry and Rob, so it's been going on even longer than that.

Since the beginning of time, man has yearned to destroy the sun.


All the Amy stuff is bad but the Weed Party was the last glimpse of classic TGT IMO. Tails eating a room made of Cheetos, a homophobic gay romance, the random introduction of additional franchise characters, and THIS IS SO MUCH BETTER THAN HUMANS and "gently caress me with that pool cue"

Like I didn't need to see Spyro gently caress but Jesse's panels are some of the best out of context panels this comic has given in years.
