17 Health regen a second?

She doesn't have Tranqs on does she?

 

[Thunderous Cacophony]

At least there's no imaginary characters. Maybe she really is cur- wait, is that a bear?

That is Charles D'bear he's one of the old characters that kind of got forgotten about

Couldn't of been a real new years eve party, theres a full bin bag already and theres no puddles of puke. Even I woke up next to a puddle of puke; and I'm not that exciting.

 

[Canadamus Prime]

Wait, how is it that Erin is the only one not passed out? HAX!

Hey, the bear works hard too. Vut him some slack.

Crazy insulates her brain frmo the effects of alcohol.

 

[McMarbles]

Uh-oh. Someone better cast Esuna...

 

[Someone Depressing]

Is it just me, or has the workplace setting, aside from Erin and Cliff, been completely abandoned?

I think Charles would be an interesting character. An intellectual, walking bear who works in game journalism is probably one of the easier to digest things in this comic, though.

Remember folks, white numbers are healing, red is damage and green is poison. Erin better get an Antidote or a cast of Esuna mighty quick.

 

[Muspelheim]

Not only do I get my racial bonus of +10 to Alcohol Recovery, I have also researched Water Theory, and have put it to devastating practice. Come, Hangover. Let me see what pass for fury among your misbegotten kind.

Sadly, it does not seem to amuse those that aren't immune very much. But a true gentleman makes everyone coffee, so I've avoided getting my chirpy arse thrown out the window.

her game obsession has given her a health tick, hence she can't be drunk like wolverine or deadpool!

at-least that's how i choose to interpret it

"I'd wish you a happy new year, but Penny Arcade probably did it first." -Cory and Grey

HA!

 

[_Russell_]

I'd love to see more of the original office staff, I love Penny the graphics editor [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/articles/view/comics/critical-miss/7983-26].

 

[Xman490]

There's no other New Year's party quite like a Super Smash Bros Melee (or Mario Party 4-to-7) party.

 

[azurine]

All this and I noticed the gamecube first.

 

[JaceArveduin]

wewt! There's a 64 in there too! At least, I'm 90% sure the left console, or center if you're adding the Gamecube, is a N64.

Are you sure that's not alcohol "poisoning"? That's kinda how I was interpreting the ticking numbers.

I'm not sure of very much in life and only truly insane people are, but she's awake and everyone else is floored and it just made sense that way but you could be right about the original intention, green could be health or poison I suppose.
anyhow, it's a piece of art so interpret it how it best makes sense to you.

#Edit#
I had another look at it, it does say 17 in green, and not -17 or in a negative colour.. so i still like my theory I'm pretty sure Erin would be dead from -17 health ticks pretty quick she's a skinny game reporter that lives on junk food i don't imagine she has an epic health pool, but i could be wrong.. hey, i have an idea!

cory, grey, what's it all mean bro?!?!?
