Jesus fucking Christ, Tom
This is just a scream for help
This is just Tom drawing himself as a black man and everyone is just too polite to call him out on it
we coulda just not had a thread about this page
I, uh
I don't know what to think about this page.
What the fuck happened to this comic?
What the absolute fuck?
Was Tom blacked or just want to be black?
He seemed weird and uncanny-valley until this page, but, uh...
would you?
Thanks, doc.
I bet Tom's wife had a lot of input on his...design.
Has the art gotten worse, or is it just me? I realize it's been building for a while, but this comic just drives it home.
at least the chapter is over
Is this a Jojo reference?
I wonder how realistic his dick is
Well, Tony was involved in that department.
I'm assuming it's pretty spot on
No. It has not gotten worse. You just don't like the subject matter of this page, so you're projecting imagined faults from a fictional and poorly defined past to better suit an overall narrative which in turn justifies your hate of chocolate pretty boys posing for the panel.
Which is acceptable.
But fucking own it.
>chocolate pretty boys
Leave any time, Tom.
I'm reminded of Weird Al's 'Tacky' video.
Holy autism. Cool it with the armchair psychology.
Tom's art may not have gotten worse, but his recent character designs (Loup, new Robot, Arthur) sure look like shit.
Loup only looked goofy in those couple pages where he was flying. For Robot and Arthur he's going for an uncanny valley effect and it's particularly effective with Robot.
>modular components
hubba hubba baybee!
Someone’s overdosed on Jojo
That guy is not the first to point out the art is getting worse.
As evidence you only need look at Ton'ys design when he first returned and what he looks like now.
Implying that nothing's gotten worse because the first page is worse than current page is just narrow minded, thing don't always change in one direction, and you know it
I can only imagine what stupid bullshit will happen on Wednesday
a cover page
I like how Tom covered preemptively about people potentially bitching about how fast Arthur accommodated to his new body. He's so used to autists now. I'm proud of him.
The problem is he hammers this kind of shit home in the actual comic to make sure they get it and it always ruins the moment.
>Data collected during Robot's extended testing stages
>for an android fucktoy
I see what you did, Kat.
He’s not Dan Shive; he doesn’t write chapters of dry living room discussions explaining every minutia or ambiguity. I think he usually gives about the right levels of exposition/explanation. this chapter (along with some others like ‘Blinking’) had more of it so I can see how it might feel heavier in that sort of thing right now.
>properly fixing a potential plot hole
>preemptively covering against autists
...No?
Ah
Swear to god, tom is slowly descending into porn.
Let's hope his actual porn looks better than this.
Remember when Rey became a familiar? Or when we learnt that Annies were from alternate timelines?
I'm glad that was immediately dropped for a bunch of pages that lovingly examine this freakish pseudo human kat built.
*ascending
Me too.
#metoo
Tom sexually assaulted me with this page.
Juliette's fetish is a balding light-skinned black man, nothing wrong with that.
Um
IMO the art peaked around 20-25. Making the lines thinner was a bad move. I thing bold lines suit the comic better.
is this a jojos refrence?
This is a really weird outcome, Juliette fell in love with a tin can that had almost no facial features, and a basic human form. Why would she start getting hot over his new body?
Because it's what's on the inside that matters?
I'm pretty sure the comic showed how they fell in love pretty clearly, too.
If someone as ugly as this can get a girl, incels have no excuse!
If you fell in love with a rock with a super cool personality would you really complain if they got a super hot bod you could bone too?
I'm looking at you, Annies.
my dream is to one day fuck a sentient robot that basically looks human and is capable of love, so yes
So I just realized. Black chick designed the body, but Kat built it. Kat has programmed, tested until it works, and hand crafted a fucking a robo penis. Like, she had to have gone and gotten synthetic semen and shit.
The fuck, Tom. The fuck.
Do you think doctors are all sick perverts when they have to take a look at your body too?
Doctors aren't teenagers in high school with no medical training.
Kat's entire fucking thing is that she's a genius who figured out how to create artificial humans by also studying biology.
Because she was in love, not in lust.
Yes, kids who study biology are just like doctors. Thats why 4 years of high school biology is all you need to become a doctor and take on patients in a hospitals.
Yep. Mhm. Totally true.
Yeah, that's canon.
Kat made a functional bbc.
So?
She created an anti grav device to show off her actual experiment. I think she's smarter then most kids.
Yes Kat being enough of a ridiculous fucking prodigy that she can figure out how to create life all on her own and a whole host of other bullshit like becoming an actual god is fine but Kat being capable of having a clinical view of the human body is too far.
Also we're talking about a girl up until she met her current GF was obsessed with bird dick.
Coyote/Loupe.
Kids who can read magic computer code by hand and build antigrav technology in the 5th grade can be doctors.
A SINGLE bird dick. Before that she liked buff guys and Snake from Metalgear gruff guys.
Which was obviously just her acting like other girls for approval.
She was bullied and all she wanted was to fit in.
She was clearly lying to seem more normal.
>it's another user finds out about bisexuality episode
Her name is Katarina.
>Modular components.
No it isn't.
It's Katerina.
>it's another user can't cope with the idea that some girls don't desire men episode
Do you not read the comic?
That's not how it was at all. She genuinely found buff dudes hot, and athletic birdboy, and girls if they're hot enough.
The only time she acted to fit in when she was first considered to be lesbian and first and tried to act less tomboyish for a while. But the one who considered her a lesbian later confessed to her so it's not like her being gay was ever even treated as a big deal.
Why do men that try to draw female gaze can't into men?
Tom is 100% heterosexual
ENOUGH TOM
UNCANNY VALLEY HAS GONE TOO FAR
god tom’s art has really been slipping
Arthur is 95% fine but his eyes are way too tiny and realistic and the line art in general has gotten weak. It’s almost as if Tom thinks he’s due for his art to advance again but it hasn’t naturally happened so he’s forcing it and seeing what sticks.
>genuinely
Ah, so you can read comic characters' minds?
None of this has been established one way or the other. Your head canon is just a theory, as much as mine, except my head canon has proper explanations for why she acted the way she did in the comic and makes for a nice character arc, unlike yours.
Why would this happen to us?
Nice memeing but sexualities can change. Or preteens can go gaga over the opposite sex because they're horny and want to be in love but only have the hetero image of love in their mind as the only valid form of love. And yes, overcompensating and lying to yourself is a thing. An attraction to anything can be forced.
This fictional character can be anything and I doubt Tom even thought of her being into girls in the early chapters, but kids acting like Kat only to discover they’re not really into the opposite sex later on does happen in reality. Past and/or teenage behaviours and feelings don’t always have any bearings on a person’s current sexuality
Excuse this godawful post but you laid the bait, so here I am biting. And it’s not like there’s a whole lot to talk about with this page
So, you're agreeing with me on everything I said, but I'm somehow 'baiting' and 'memeing'?
I'm pretty sure Anthony was in charge of that?
If she was designing a sex bot, she should've added nipples.
No, the art has definitely gotten worse since the Jeanne arc. Probably since the "what is Jones" chapter, even. Compare anything this year with pic related for crying out loud.
It seems like Tom has completely forgotten about perspective or character design.
GO TO BED TOM IM TELLING YOU!
i think this is a part 2 pose?
probaby after he gets the ring out of his neck.
Well then don't do this and have the characters act like it's hot because it's not. It's not uncanny Valley. It's awful.
I mean, have you seen yaoi?
Women like some horrendous shit sometimes.
I think it would be hilarious if the art style went back to chapter one as the story finishes
Fucking gross.
>a black man fetish is ruining this already ruined comic
>Some people in the past thread cried because of the word nigger used as an insult.
What a world.
I stopped reading ever since Jeanne passed on and I'm almost scared to continue onward at this point.
I was the one who used the word nigger and it wasn't as an insult, other than the inherent meaning of the word.
Came here to post this
Why the fuck are you alive?
Fuck off.
I knew these threads had some complete faggots in them, but wow.
Ok so I get that this page is silly but as someone who dropped the comic years ago can someone tell me why anons are so concerned over its quality? Has it really gotten that bad ?
It's shitposting.
Everyone has a favorite artstyle era so of course we must argue to the death over which is the bestest.
>"but wow."
>literally can't even
fuck off, cunt.
I mean it's not an either or thing. Might as well turn your true love into a sex god
Her face just turned itself 90 degrees.
>Ah, so you can read comic characters' minds?
Yes, when the way comic characters think and feel is shown to us, the audience, through our sometimes-omniscient 3rd person camera that freely switches between characters
You fucking autist
I genuinely don't understand why everyone is freaking out about this character's design when it just looks like it was made to look like a C-tier Jojo character (which it does) as part of a riff on the joke about how much fujos love Jojo's character designs
You nigs have been acting for weeks now like the comic took a sharp turn into looking like a deviantart reject is drawing it or something
I feel like the uncanny valley-ness was done intentionally to differentiate the human-robots from the actual human characters. They're supposed to look slightly unsettling compared to the humans.
>sometimes-omniscient 3rd person camera that freely switches between characters
Except it explicitly doesn't.
Show me a single time in this comic we read Kat's mind.
christ you guys are insecure
hes still a robot
thats why he looks so janky
his skin color is black because thats what his wife prefers
can we move on?
When her head pigeon was literally speaking her thoughts.
Okay, granted. :D
But that was a one time thing.
>Epilogue scene, skip forward in time to the children of our main cast, and the art style has reverted to match their age
Gunnerkrigg Boruto when?
FUCK, came here to post this.
I mean, it's gotta be.
Zimmy comic when?
Next up.
You best start believing in Zimmy comics, user...
>can we move on?
Most of us did
Insecure cunts like you don't
why
Huehuehue
It started out way better than it ended up, holy shit.
Zimmies aren't real.
Pearl is shit.
I don't remember the Annies explanation, must've missed a thread,
I've never been to the actual site where these comics are hosted and only read them here.
Nothing has been as interesting as that Jones story to me so far, it's what got me to start looking at these threads.
This gets Pearl's rocks off.
>sexuality can change
So your saying straight camp can work? Because that sounds like what you’re saying.
no he's saying traps can turn anons gay
I mean, Xhe's right, sexuality can change. For example, I used to be attracted to women instead of booze and drugs exclusively.
