there ya go, fixed it for ya.. you're welcome

 

[scorptatious]

Oh goddammit Grey, this is hitting pretty close to home right now.

 

[triggrhappy94]

His name is Suchong?
I've read like all of these. Why didn't I know that?
Doesn't he have kids too?

 

[Gorrath]

Hmm...does the rat have all its toes?

Hahaha, says the person with a hawk as their avatar, trying to decide if the prey is healthy?

It's an owl, actually. And the thing with the toes was a HP reference nobody seems to have gotten

My mistake. I tend to be 'that guy' when it comes to my rats. I'm all, "Hey guys, anyone wanna see my rats? Look at my adorable rats and their tiny little rat hands! LOOK HOW CUTE SHE IS, DON'T YOU JUST WANNA CUDDLE HER ALL UP?!?!?!?!"

 

[Fappy]

By the end of this story arc Corey, as well as the bulk of the fanbase, will discover that the rat has a creepy cult following. God have mercy on your soul if you end this arc with his death XD

 

[Gearhead mk2]

Oooh, and obligatory sad arc in a cooky gaming webcomic. This'll go really well, last time something like this happened it was so gre-

Spoiler: Oh.

In fairness though, Ctrl Alt Del is kinda like the Family Guy of webcomics, where is this is... well, I don't know what it is, but it's sure as hell better then CAD and FG, I can tell you that. Plus it's not an incredibly serious or dark storyline, so it could work.

Spoiler: Oh.

Captcha: Baby Blues.
Hmmm.

To be fair, there's a large gap between a miscarriage of a human child, and a rat dying of old age.

 

[Amaury_games]

Really enjoyed the last arc you did Corey, can't wait to see the rest of this!

I second this.
Never understood why people got so crossed about Cory and Grey making nice character stories. I like having these arcs (I wished they made a comic explaining how Elliot and Molly forgave Erin for throwing that 360 on her head (even though it missed). She went through a trip inside her brain and all, but they didn1t see that!
Thanks for doing another one of these, Cory and Grey!

Skittles can't be bad for you, they taste too good, damn it! :O

 

[AngelOfBlueRoses]

You... you stop it right now, mister. ;^; Don't you dare go through with this arc.

I can feel my heart shattering already.

 

[Palindromemordnilap_v1legacy]

No, not Suchong, he has a family!

Wait, he still has that family right?

 

[masticina]

Rats such lovely animals. A shame how short they stay with us! They really steal your hart and hide it some where.

 

[Slash2x]

Just like the "ending" was supposed to make you feel sad about Ethan getting killed to save his wife[...]

I haven't read CAD in ages, but lolwat?

I will save you going there and giving the site a hit, and reading through months of drivel.

Ethan gets pulled into the future, via butter..... Yeah so light hearted there! Then to fuck up the light tone from that.... Zeke went terminator, killed off Ethans friends and family made an army and started killing everyone. Future Ethan is being hunted as the creator of Zeke, the resistance finds past Ethan and a resistance girl that looks like Lucas(implied daughter) saves him and starts to send him back to the past to stop Zeke. Future Ethan shoots her, gets shot himself and screws up time portal. Ethan throws himself at the machine and turns it off before it rips apart all space time. Now instead of having him pop back to his time that kills Ethan and all anyone finds of him is a scorch spot next to the time machine.

So ZERO closure.... No continuity attachment, and more or less a Terminator(first one) movie rip off, with the time travel in reverse.

Almost like the artist said "So you want a funny comic strip? FUCK YOU! I AM GOING TO KILL IT WITH FIRE!"

 

[The Rogue Wolf]

Man, if it wasn't for Suchong, I'm sure people would've been all over the half-naked-Erin fantease there in the first panel.

I guess I've been around animals for so long that the knowledge of their vastly shorter lifespans (in most cases, anyway) is just part of the background picture to me. I find Erin's blatant self-delusion a lot more sad... and I don't think she can blame that on the accident.

 

[Infernai]

So is Erin gonna get a pep talk from characters in gaming who have generally lost someone? That would be nice, concidering I can't think of any...

Cloud from Final Fantasy 7. Dante from Devil May Cry.....Caim from Drakengard. Caim especially knows about loss and death, he'd be perfect!

Wow. So Tim went full blown dipshit finally? I stopped at the miscarriage thing too and it appears I got off the Shit Train just in time. I can't imagine his fanbase got any bigger with that stunt. Is he finally out of the comic business now, god willing?

I lacked things to do about a month back, remembered how CAD was recommended on this very forum back in 09 when I joined (remember the craziest shit at the wierdest times). Decided to check it out. Read up to, and past the miscarriage and to the very end of Ethan as a character.....

and my reaction was basically like... (wat)

Then it was just strip upon strip upon strip upon strip (think about one hundred?) of those wierdly coloured guys killing eachother.

[Gaboris]

Cory, if you kill the rat, I will be upset and cry a lot. You don't want that, do you?

Same here man!
You hurt that poor lil thing and I'll - I'll... I'll have NO other choice then to start accepting the fact that life isn't all sunshine and lollipops not even in a humor centered story... NONE of us wants that to happen now do we? D:

 

[likalaruku]

I think the problem is feeding it skittles.

I don't know about rats, but with Dogs you basically have to take them to a dietritian to figure out what you need to feed them.

Yeah, if it had been an old dog, she might have left him a chocolate bar.
