#309 “The Rat”
Interesting to revisit something from 10 years ago, but here we are! Going back to the past one more time!

We gotta go back. Back to the past.
…I caved in.
It’s okay. I resisted it myself.
To play the shitty games that suck ass?
(I also caved in.)
What? No. We’re talking about Samurai Jack!
Return to the Past
He’d rather have a buffalo, I’ll stop! I could barely resist!
Take a diarrhea dump in his ear.
Well I’d rather eat the rotten asshole, of a road killed skunk then down it with bear (particularly rolling rock)
*a confused bear appears near snes4life*
He’s the angriest gamer you’ve ever heard.
he’s the angry videogame nerd
…And his fate was divined by Jo Pereira (see the link).
If DooM was made today…
(Divine being making the deal with you-) “Ok, here’s the deal, you can only go back with enough information from the future to save 1 loved one, to motivate you to get a better career and to improve 1 other minor area of your life, like taking your health more seriously or choosing a cheaper hobby or making friends with someone you hated who turned out famous. Secondly, the maximum you can go back is to the START or high school; no rewriting EVERYTHING. And finally, no memorizing lottery numbers; this second chance is about self-improvement, not luxury.”
You could check the current and last few episodes of Carry On for more time traveler advice. That’s exactly what they are talking about.
I bet Tim is going to say, “IF YOU KNEW IT WAS SHADOW TAKING MY SOCKS THE WHOLE TIME, WHY DID YOU GROUND ME?!”
Hahaha. it might come up!
Wouldnt that be because of the lie? I’m pretty sure at that point in the story tim already met shadow. could be wrong though.
Tim was grounded Page #5. didn’t meet/trap Shadow until Page #9.
The Momster has aged well.
She absolutely has!
It’s a bit of a glamour/spell isn’t it? Would she actually appear different in her human form based on age? Or would it have to be an intentional choice to appear different or older?
Aw, c’mon, you’ve gotta go back further than that. And keep it brief ’cause Shadow is in terrible trouble.
Oh, don’t worry this little stop over in the past will be brief.
Hmmmm….
Wonder if she’s still got the hat?
Brandon I’m sorry to point this out but my brain won’t let me not say anything… Tim’s dad is missig the ring and the glasses from page 27
This is not a complaint I just can’t leave it alone.
And it’s a different house in the window.
Again I’m so sorry, but I can’t not say anything.
And the question and exclamation marks are gone.
Again I’m so sorry.
Obsessive Compulsive Disorder is SUCH a burden, isn’t it?
Truth
I don’t have OCD but yes, I do get a bit annoyed that I care about this stuff
The painting in the background is also more zoomed in now.
OMFingG! They’re all Compulsive Obsessives! ARRRRRRRRRRRGH!
Yibbida, yibbida, yibbida!
The mugs are also missing their text.
Also Tim used to have teeth.
Man, the age really shows
Interesting start… I would say, it is the best moment for Ruth to change… (and no I won’t make the pun about moon prism power make up)
Ai to seigi no senshi sērāmūn! Tsuki no nanioite, omae o bassuru! O shokyio!
“In the beginning, all was darkness…and thats how the first ones preferred it. For they were so hideous, even THEY could not bear to look upon themselves…”
it never was adequately explained why Shadow wanted his socks in the first place.
also, interesting to see how the artwork has evolved since this early pages.
She liked the smell.
See page 72
Oh my… the things you will learn, the places you’ll go…
Wait, TEN years? I’m actually forgetting now how the original age retcon went, and in which direction.
If Tom keeps waving that fork-full of spaghetti about, who’s taking bets on how much it modifies the wallpaper?
Talk about parents finding out what their son is actually up to.
mfw I discover this last night and binge read it till 3 am
