While I do not read all of your comics, from all the ones I have read, this one is pretty much the best yet. Seriously, even aside from the Fear and Loathing reference the art looks just amazing. I think the weird coloring actaully helps it, since I feel that most of the other pages are kind of lacking in the drawing department.

That was awesome. I didn't know hunter s thompson died though.
He committed suicide in 2005. Tragic because he was a supremely gifted writer.
But he lives on in Colonel Hunter Gathers...

And if he died or something(I know about the tits part) then don't tell me!

It is kind of sad that people think this is a movie reference. The only criticism I have would be that the art isn't "Steadman" enough. Needs more floating eyeballs.

Meh. This one was okay. Probably my least favourite so far. But I'm not trying to sound negative. Just saying.

Brings new meaning to the Thompson quote "We were right in the middle of a goddamn reptile zoo."

*Character is surrounded by deathclaws*

Jesus. I just realized you could do an entire machinima of Fear and Loathing with New Vegas, I'll have to look into that when the game is patched a bit more.

There's a second Johnny Depp Thompson movie, the Rum Diary, coming out soon as well.

And yes.

In case no one mentioned it, there is already a "Fear and Loathing Pack" mod for New Vegas. Once someone ports over the advanced drug-related effects from the Fallout 3 mod list, OH BABY. It's Party Time.

The art style in this particular comic, with the colors in particular, reminds me a lot of the show Superjail! on Adult Swim, just all the contrasts, I like it.

Hit the Nail on the head!

Although for me the Giant Radscorpions simply fly ten feet straight up and land in front of me. It was like a poisonous Deathclaw! I was calmly shooting three that had come up a hill normally, and then suddenly number four vaults (excuse the pun) over the hilltop and lands in front of me.

And the Coyotes and mongrels in my game just stretch. When they die, they can stretch across half the screen. Creepy shit that.

Perhaps you could just push your PC into the pool... it should be noted that the movie almost plays exactly like the book reads, and the director was none other than Terry Gilliam from Monty Python (he did the animated bits and some scene work from time to time)and pretty much anything Dr. Hunter S Thompson wrote is worth a read political or otherwise, books or magazine articals its all good. He was a crazy man... a mutant, he could chew through a brick wall... and look pretty damn good doing it. Also if you like Fear and Loathing see Where the Buffalo Roam, its Bill Murry's take on playing the good doctor. (although Depp did do it better its still worth a watch) Also you tube up the interviews of Johnny Depp talking about meeting and getting to know him all very funny.
This comic is beyond good having played the game and being a gushing fan of the reference material Bravo i will read all of your comics, and for anyone who says otherwise you voted for Hubert Humphrey and you killed Jesus.
