So, where did these two guys come from? Are they the slowpokes from IGN, now transformed into humans?
They're two guys erin found outside the escapist HQ, I assume they're the guys that write the comic. So they were arguing with a character in their comic about how much their comic sucks. And they're slobros not slowpokes.

You should've already known the difference between slowpoke and slobro.

I cracked up at the end. I totally get it bro!
Who didn't burst out laughing at that!? I was giggling already at Grey's analogy with Charles Dickens, but the slowbros really won me over. XD

It was always funny to me how English people name their children after genitalia.
I wonder who was the first to name his kid Dick.
[sub]No offense intended towards people whose names are Dick.[/sub]

Dick is somehow a short version of Richard.


how, I do no know, I guess the first Richard was just a real Dick.
I don't know the origin either, but I've got to wonder if that slang was around when Dickens named a character "Dick Swiveller."

No, the slowbros are still slowbros. The new guys are the authors making a cameo, I think.

But I'm really liking this arc in the comic. It's pretty creative, different kind of humor. I hope it goes on for a while longer. And this comic was really well done, in terms of structure and pace.

Anyone else see the sort-of shark in panel 4?

No, just me...I only saw it temporarily anyway :S

I laughed. Good old dick jokes.

But, given that fanny to us is female front bottom, you can imagine how funny we find the American fanny-packs, or Fanny Mae.

Try to have your last name be Dick and your first name be Donald...

That's my grandpa.

I actually really enjoyed this one :p

Especially the use of "bollocks". I don't hear that lovely word enough on the internet, but thankfully it's rather popular where I'm from in real life Ireland.

I wonder if the creators are British....

Okay, "cockfosters" is just disturbing to me. "Foster", you see, is Norwegian for fetus.
