    I like how Pasqualo’s was just smiling softly at the heads, and how his eyes went red after referencing them.

    Also I keep hearing the Principal’s voice as Barney the Dinosaur.

      “We’re both monsters. Difference is, though, I’m a nice one. Like Sully from Monsters Inc.
      And you, you’re like… Uh… Randall from Monsters Inc.?”

    Yeah, Pasqualo is going to hell and nothing can stop that. If God sends him over there, he is right about it.

      You know how you’re supposed to feel bad about doing certain things, but you don’t and you end up feeling bad about not feeling bad? Like how if a relative dies and you weren’t close and you aren’t too sad and that scares the fuck out of you? That, except applied to the whole world because the only people who died were people Pasqualo either didn’t personally know or has already mourned. And you know how when someone else is going through a tough time but you can’t help but feel excited for yourself because you’re finally doing well in life? That, again. Pasqualo interprets those emotions as being evil even though literally everyone operates like that, no American really mourns Cambodia. He’s just such an emotional dumbfuck that he can’t reconcile that with being a decent person, he needs to learn to accept that how he feels about things doesn’t have to drive his actions and until then he’s going to continue kicking himself for not having what people say are the correct emotional responses.

      Also Gob, LISA. Half-off on Steam, post-apoc Earthbound-inspired RPG. I can’t help but think of your comic, the humor’s similar.

        Then again maybe Pasqualo’s already figured this out, he could identify with The “On an evil scale of 1 to 10 he’s a child molester” Principal up until he knew that he was killing people.

      Friend Empirornomnom, I do not think you fully understand.
      Robots don’t have souls. When partner Pasqualo dies, his consciousness will cease to exist.

    How do you accidentally fuck the wrong hole on the Earth? It’d be pretty fucking hard to miss. Unless, like, literally every single cave on the planet is a butthole or a bagina. It might be a gamble at that point.

    The fact that he never stopped smiling coupled with Trisssh being Trisssh just horrified and aroused me. Good show, Gobbington.

    Damn Gob, you really got a pace down here!
    Like nevermind the content, this thing flows like the juices coming from my dick as I read it.
    It might have taken you 2 weeks to get right but hot damn does the result have the perfect timing and pace.

      Gob’s gotten back on the ball, yeah. Shit got fucked up after the big anticlimax and the Hellbeast arc was only really redeemed by Hellbeast himself, but he’s back to that fucking sublime pacing. It feels like he’s planning shit out again and it’s amazing. He wrote yet another great villain and instead of wasting it on a shounen slugfest we get more character development out of Pasqualo in a really great and disturbing comic. The way the Principal died was just perfect, he doesn’t need to be a big strong tentacle thing to have his effect on the overall story.

      I am officially back on the hype train.

    Josef must have had you in nipple clamps the whole time, because god damn, this is an amazing update. I keep coming back to read it. This is an amazing way to reintroduce the MC.

    What was your inspiration behind this?

    • Gobolatula
      July 8, 2015, 6:43 pm | # | Reply

      Thank you very much! This took me 2 weeks to finish for a bunch of reasons. It was pretty difficult to write. The art was pretty standard stuff except for this weird lighting effect I tried out. Another thing about the art: when I decided Pasqualo was gonna be absent for a while, I tried my best not to draw him. I drew him a few times for sketch requests but that’s it. I had sort of this “alive” energy when finally getting to draw him again in this comic. It just sorta flowed out of me.

      Haha, the editing session with Josef wasn’t *too* rough for this one. The hardest part was having to re-draw the first 6 panels of the first page. Josef also asked me to re-write the bottom 6 panels of page 2.

      As for the inspiration for this one, I was hoping to make this sort of eerily dreamish. I really liked the idea of Aurora’s lights shining through the open window and everything in the room being sort of blue-green. I wanted this confrontation to be special. I wanted these two “principals” to have a conversation. I liked the idea of Pasqualo being sorta cordial. The whiskey stuff I kinda made up on the fly as I was drawing it. I realized that it would be pretty boring visual-wise if they were just sitting there in chairs talking.

      I wanted this comic to feel sort of “soothing” throughout up until the end. Dream-like and soothing. I don’t know if I pulled that off, but I’m really happy people like this one!

    This is pretty much the best possible way for Pasq (And Trisssh) to return after the 2 months or so of Katie-centric comics. Equal parts victorious and horrifying.

    Is all the finger wagging in this comic a reference to FF6 by any off chance?

        Iunno, that was a really fucking great way for him to die. It’d be a waste if he ended up going all Arkham Asylum Joker for a quick boxing match no one cares about.

        I wouldn’t be surprised if it turns out he’s been fucking shit up in the background though, the severed heads are probably just the tip of the iceberg.

    Quadruple comic! A great one this time too, we haven’t gotten to spend any time with Pasqualo in quite a while. Is Trisssh trying to swallow the Principal? (ahem)

    I hope Trisssh remembers to vomit him up promptly afterwards. He’d probably give her a hell of a hangover.

    I have the strangest feeling the principal not gonna die here and now. Trishhhh looks like a little frog right now and the principal is known to enjoy “dissecting” frogs. I hope I’m wrong and nothing bad happens to Trishhhh.

    Just realized, in their own ways, both of these two are unhinged goof-balls. One doesn’t die, while the other just feels nothing.

    How is Trissh not simply the best character this comic has ever seen or will see? The woman just has so much sensible, perfectly rational joy with her commendable actions. I didn’t like her at first, but she quickly grew on me.

    Just like the brain spawn!
