Is that supposed to be a bear? Why is it so tiny and meek looking in spite of apparently being a senior?
Niko's about to offer Kai cigarettes in the most 90s-ass "say no!" commercial manner imaginable, I'm calling it now. (For a "bad" comic, I look forward to this shit's updates way more than I probably should, if only because I NEED to know what happens next and Kai's presence keeping it from being a straight up schizo-land.)
lol, even the teenage druggie has to be sympathetic from his introduction. Classy.
"Things are getting pretty scary" when nothing bad or "scary" has gone on since Trump won the election.
Okay, place your bet on who's going to be more unlikeable after this introduction, Harper or Niko? Having absolutely zero boundaries with Kai and shoving him out the door versus fucking up Percy's lungs and possibly being even more of a jerk. I hardly remember what Piper's like, we know nothing about Percy despite that being his body, and I am hoping for Kai's sake that the last one is at least somewhat reasonable.
At this point, this comic is like a car crash or similar event, you come across it and are horrified, but yet, you stay to see what will happen and if anyone makes it out by the end.
At this moment, I'd say Niko. Harper was an asshole, sure, but fucking up somebody's lungs while they're not really in a position to do anything about it is WAY worse, then again, I'm almost expecting Niko to be more reasonable than they look with how quickly the comic went from "Wow, these are scaaary teenagers that are bears and crocodiles (and a tiny bird) and shit!" to "Man, your father is a total dick, bear guy!" in one page. (I kinda wanna see how the fuck that conversation ended if the dad he said that shit to was ALSO a bear, but actually adult sized.)Okay, place your bet on who's going to be more unlikeable after this introduction, Harper or Niko?

Good lord I hate how I'm actually getting invested in this. Invested for all the wrong reasons, but invested nonetheless.
The comic's so strange I just wanna see what the fuck happens in the next page, which is honestly a huge selling point for it. It's actually got a big leg up over Children of the Light in that Kai provides a really good viewpoint as a normal teen in a normal-ish setting who's worried for his friend and just as confused about all this shit as we are, in contrast to...the fuck was his name? The Watership Down motherfucker who's already part of a comparatively more abstract setting and is an abrasive little shit in every notable interaction, which is a really bad trait to have in a main character who you're meant to sympathize with, in a role and setting where he's gonna have to interact with people a lot.
God, the excessive swearing is so cringe, specially coming from cute animals. This is not how you make people take your comic seriously, Salty
I’m 50/50. Salty did consider it to be “underaged drug use” but it does raise the question of whether Percy’s body has a nicotine dependency. It doesn’t seem like Niko is active long enough for that to happen, but it would explain both Piper’s tweaking and Harper’s behavior to some extent. Then again, a lot of the characterization strikes me as rather careless, so I think she either did not consider those things, or, if she did, she didn’t research the psychological effects very much.
Not just underage drug use, "Drug abuse/ADDICTION" is listed in the warnings. It's already enough of a suspension of disbelief to imagine them all using Percy's body without his parents or the school noticing, but I just don't buy that they could have a nicotine dependency that they're all capable of keeping under wraps and it not being a much bigger deal.
People like the author like to pick and choose what matters and what doesn’t. Vivziepop is actually a good example of this wrt drugs and addiction. She plays everything rather safe so she can focus on her gay drama. Or, more generally, Rebecca Sugar with her ignoring the space empire so she can play lesbian dollhouse. I imagine Salty is a lot like that, because she’s the exact kind of person that throws in illnesses without research or considering how they work. Suspension of disbelief doesn’t matter to them as much as “feels,” regardless of the effect the execution has on the audience. To Salty’s credit, she gets to the point, but that point has a weak foundation because she doesn’t think anything through.
Those two examples hit the nail on the fucking head, man.
That his schizophrenia is getting worse.
It's about Andrew Tate.
It's from the movie Magnolia. Tom Cruise character teaches his audience of angry incels how to pick up women.
I think its just saying that like PUA's put women down so they will stay with them. The Jews are putting white people down so they won't kick them out.
