      Next week he’ll declare his conversion to Linenism.

          It’s a parody of the refrain of the Socialist anthem The Red Flag.

          Then raise the scarlet standard high
          Within its shade we’ll live and die!
          Though cowards flinch and traitors sneer
          We’ll keep the red flag flying here!

            Socialist Victory Choir rendition on YouTube. Unfortunately this is not the Sheffield Socialist Choir’s version, which is the schnitz IMHO.

            That’s sung to the tune of O Tannenbaum, as has been usual for a century or so. You would not be alone if you preferred the original tune, as sung here by Billy Bragg.

    So I wonder if they are breaking Mike’s fingers one at a time with a ball peen hammer as torture, or if he feels nothing because he just snapped his neck on impact and is dead.

    Oh and a machine almost went untoweled, close one. Glass that tension got resolved in the last panel.

    The longer the Mike cliffhanger takes, the more I feel that he is actually alive and possibly quite OK. Stalling the revelation so much wouldn’t make sense narrative-wise if he wasn’t.

        For that to work Mike is either in Hell and this is somebody’s punishment, or mike dug up Blaine’s mom and is a practicing necrophiliac.

    Now that this is kind of quiet, it’s as good moment as any other to play with predictions about Mike’s fate. Here are mine:

    1. The subplot telling what happened to Mike is already in the buffer.
    2. We will know around April 1st.
    3. Mike won’t die, he’s the most irreplaceable secondary character in this strip (but maybe he’s badly damaged).
    4. Archer will be somehow involved in what happened (and maybe also Sal).
    5. As a result of what happened, Amazi-Girl will stop her activities (at least temporarily).
    6. In 2021 or 2022 we will have a plot about Amazi-Girl sightings and Willis will have us wondering if it’s the real one or an impostor.

    I hope I’ll get at least a couple of them right. I won’t say anything about Blaine or Ross because I don’t really care about them, they’re thrash.

    So…Has anyone else noticed Willis changed Mike’s profile info to “Mike is(was???) roommates with Walky.” Just, you know, more kindling to everyone’s burning question of stuff.

I joined the subreddit a while ago, but only just realised how odd they are. It's immediately become a favourite hate-read. This bit about how anyone who didagrres with them is a sociopath incapable of being "functional people" is when I realised it was going to be a truly wild ride.
Post from the Dumbing of Age subreddit reading:


Joyrothy is garbage because the characters are garbage. The people applauding their behavior are zero empathy socipaths, so they don't consider what it would be like to be on the losing side of this netorare arc. And that's fine, but it also means they don't have the basic morality to be functional people.

The UK's new act blocks access to adult content without identification. Turns out, you only need a copy of Death Stranding and a phone to get around it.
