I took piano lessons when I was a wee lad and had to perform in the school talent show every year. I was a nervous wreck each time I got up on stage despite the fact that I knew I was gonna get some polite applause. I was a decent pianokid.
In 5th grade me and a few friends formed a shitty band and did the talent show that year. I played bass. We SUCKED SOOOO MUCH but all those little kids just ate up the fact that there were other little kids playing fucking metal in front of them. We got WILD APPLAUSE and I knew at that moment that I wanted to be a blah blah blah blah blah
haha I felt like school talent shows were pretty stressful for me and I always had this sense of nervous anticipation during the weeks and sometimes even months leading up to them. I was like that with lots of things. I was the type of kid who, when summer started, would sadly think about the fact that school was going to start again in September. I couldn’t stop myself.
The school talent show being the setting for the end of the world felt like the best way I could put a bit of myself into this stupid comic. Talent shows happened at the ass-end of the school year, when the BIG CHANGE was about to happen: I take my last tests, get my report card, and I’d go from this restricted miserable prison-like hell to having a little bit of freedom where I can run around with my friends and jump in pools and fuck around in the forest and get in a little bit of trouble. haha in case you can’t tell, I really did not like school.
The post-apocalypse era of this comic to me is like Pasqualo and Allison’s never-ending summer.
The face Elvis has while they play their music reminds me so much of Pasqualo’s Dad dying during the talent show. The utter disappointment… cripes, Gob.
Not again!

Is this the end of the Middle School of Conviction arc?
I think it’s the end for quite a few characters here…
So next up is Falcon of the High School arc? Then they get on a boat for nine years.
In some circles, bleeding from every orifice means tue show was great.
“Maybe you guys aren’t ready for that yet.
…but your kids are gonna love it.”
HAHAHAHAHA!!!
Gob were you molested by a talent show or something

you knew you wanted to write a webcomic where a talent show destroyed civilization?

Cept more snake waifu’s and mangled bodies.
They should have just necromantically revived Robbie.
CALLED IT
Also: AW FUCKING HELL NOOOO!
Aerosmith was right. Music IS the weapon. Also NOT AGAAAIN.
Oh, Gob, you and your silly comical hyperboles!
Why isn’t Zack bleeding from every orifice in his body? He’s on the stage, yet he seems happy and not hurt…
He’s down with that grimey, rank Dear Abigail sound.
I figured he just couldn’t hear anything but the wailing of the remorseful dead.
Will something bad happen at every music concerts?

Was half expecting Freaky Outy from that one Home Movies episode.
Reminds me of the time I played your smash hit Secret Agent for my friends in High School.
Now that I think about it, that was right around the same time I stopped having any friends.
STILL BETTER THAN ST ANGER
Why is peeplops crying?
