I guess we're one step closer to learning the reason why this town has so much supernatural stuff going on.

I'm eager to read more of Possessed!Max's disdainful dialogue in future.

Okay, yeah, that changes the reading of the sentence completely. Nice.

Oh definitely. That's some emotive crotchwing flaps, besides again Zack showing nice attention to detail.

To be fair, I'd have a hard time remembering the inputs for the Supreme Universe Beam, too.

That is indeed a door. I will be disappointed if it doesn't fart when opened.

Also is that a pug in suitjamas.

So I was rereading the early comics and noticed something:

Bottom-middle panel. Look who it is!

He's pretty quiet there, so he obviously doesn't feel threatened. This means he's a good judge of character I think!

Students and teachers constantly attempt to one-up each other, teachers clearly have the advantage of experience.

Seriously though, Ed is droppin' insights like... like... a thing that young people might be known to drop with some regularity if they were so inclined.

For some reason, this makes it even funnier.

That's a bit of a shame, but the page is probably better off not being dominated by one admittedly very funny panel.

Now the comment thread is a bit of a non sequitur though.

Goddammit why are all the teachers at this school so drat funny?

It bears repeating that Zack's really good at this character-based comedy thing. And gestures, and expressions. His comics just radiate comedy charisma and more people ought to pay attention to his work.

My inner economist is poised ready to pounce the second Zack reveals anything about Starchman stars.

I mean, it seems like one star is a fairly important thing, considering how Mr. Garcia considers it enough to buy Max's silence, but Isabella quickly bet four stars, meaning either she's a high roller or that Mr. Garcia is really cheap. Of course, everyone seemed really surprised when Max got a whole star just for his name, so...:words:

If ever there is a question asking whether or not Isabel is a high roller, the answer can only be Yes.

Since we know that the sunglasses are a tool it's not surprising that he wears them everywhere. The fact that they make him look cool as hell is just a bonus.

If by "cool as hell" you mean "endearingly dorky" then yes, this is true on all counts.

Ed's insight remains impeccable.

I do wish the alt-text was actual text, but if that were the case then what would we have for alt-text?

Update! I really like the detail of Spender's face blooping away from the train.

I assumed he was pushing his sunglasses up so hard that he broke anime and became surrealism.

It seems way too convoluted and annoying to write, but he did get coherent sentences out of it, so... maybe?

That's a lot of decoding work to get even one word.

So I guess that's actually pretty appropriate, yeah.

Forge's monologue is pretty cumbersome and could probably be paced out a bit better. That said, the alt-text makes up for it. I'm willing to give it a pass, especially since it fits the character actually spouting this stuff.

However:

You were probably wondering it from the start, it's just that now there's more evidence to support the idea. Max vs. Isaac, place your bets here.

The bet was rigged! The real winner will be Johnny.
