Happy New Year

[The Lugz]

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

Crazy insulates her brain frmo the effects of alcohol.

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

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?!?!?

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.

I thought purple was poison. the colour choice is confusing to me. Is it supposed to be 17 health regen a sec or 17 poison damage? the latter makes more sense...

I don't even read Penny Arcade.
What's with the inferiority complex?

It's a joke at the expense of people who see a gaming webcomic and assume it's knocking off Penny Arcade.

Wasn't there a bear in one of their comics once? You are totally ripping off Penny Arcade.

Its not a party until someone whips out the Nintendo Gamecube

Doesn't Penny Arcade have people in it? They're totally ripping off Penny Arcade

Oh, and a two word title? I mean, could they be any more obvious?

 

[Epicspoon]

All this and I noticed the gamecube first.

But did you notice it had Playstation controllers hooked up to it?

What's up with the blinking 17?

 

[Farther than stars]

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

Yeah, you gotta love the bear. I mean, there's a friggin' bear in the corner. It's got this 'The Hangover' vibe to it, you know?

Glad I'm not the only person who had that gag sail over them....

In any case, Happy New Year too you guys!

(and please, don't bring back the office setting- the comics you made after leaving that behind have been the stronger for it)
