Cheers, OP. I wish I could attend myself.
Any chance you could sneak some pics?
An MM&O art exhibit sounds fucking wonderful. I love the full color pic pages in the books.
The ones from Bad Gateway were especially good. I really like the one with Megg crying with the smoke bellowing in the distance.
Cum on the witch
Here's something I was thinking about during the "Bad Gateway" storytime: is WWJ capable of redemption? The period where he's sober makes it seem like he could stop being an asshole for good and become a mostly normal person (assuming he's away from Mike and co., that is). Then again, if he was already neglecting his infant daughter while he was sober, there may not be any hope for him.
What is the reading order on this series?
I am looking through the mediafire and I am not sure how to proceed exactly.
publication order is probably the best bet. there's a lot of jumping around in time, it's not the most chronological story telling
Imagine how the house would smell
It'd be a mixture of BO, stale sweat, nasty old weed smoke, and empty pizza boxes and fast food containers (IE, grease and old food left out in the open). Based on personal experience, I would also guess there's an overpowering chemical-y smell from them spraying cheap air freshener everywhere to mask the weed stench.
OP here, currently in it.
It’s a little too real, fuck.
Can’t do pics of the new comic but it’s about owl moving out and them trying to figure out money for the house. WWJ moves in too.
It’s pretty great.
Most of the stuff in the folder has a publication date in the filename, but also don't worry about it too much. The comics aren't exactly in order anyway. If I recall, the first book ends with an event that doesn't really get continued until the newest book.
Does it smell?
ayyo OP, stop posting pics of my house. that ain't cool, ya dig.
Bad gateway? It's just m&m wwj is in most of it. Owl is only mentioned.
All of it is on the walls, owl is shown a bit.
But yeah it’s mainly megg and mogg, specifically megg.
Unless it's the first 2 pages Owl doesn't appear in the book. Those two defining why he's not in it. Anything else is news to me
Just got through Megahex. It was simultaneously fun/relatable and miserable/relatable. Good stuff. It is great to see this kind of acid rock art style a quality published work.
Thanks.
>Club Mate
BASED
Can someone post a link to the mediafire? And does it have Bad Gateway?
Well this isn't faithful to the material if WWJ's dick isn't out.
I never knew Club-Mate exists outside of Germany (exactly THAT brand).
You can get it in eastern europe too
Bumping for only good thread on Yea Forums
Has the new stuff been scanned yet? I'm so behind and I have a great mighty need.
So maybe actually buy the books
Bad Gateway story time in this thread:
Entertainment and WWJ & Sons 2 still unscanned. Knife Crime was storytimed earlier, but IDK if there's an actual file for it yet.
Nah that's gay
Thanks bruv
How about some good old fashioned Fuck,Marry,Kill? Your choices are Werewolf Jones Megg and Mogg
is death an option?
not this time buckaroo
Fuck Mogg (least STDs), Kill WWJ (most STDs, shitty parent and partner), Marry Megg (Lesser of three evils)
Yeh well I looked it up and this brand comes originally from Germany. This exhibit seems to be in the USA, so I am surprised the USA is getting Euro drinks besides Austrian Red Bull.
The fact that other parts of Euro have Euro drinks does not surprise me and yes I know Mate originally comes from South America but Club Mate is German and I hate it's taste.
I'd use my kill on WWJ for obvious reasons
Does marry mean I have to never fuck them? If so, I marry Mogg because he wouldn't be satisfied unless he could eat my ass and I REALLY don't want a sandpaper cat tongue in my anus. If marrying involves fucking too then I'll marry Megg because I'd rather have my ass skin torn up once than over and over.
Fuck Megg, Marry Owl, Kill WWJ.
fuck megg marry mogg kill wwj
Divorce immediately though
nice. i imagine these must've been pretty fun to set up
Fuck and marry Simon
I love Simon's art, but goddamn these displays do a better job of illustrating the depressing squalor MMO live in. No wonder Owl had to get away.
Jones is a lost cause.
I keep trying to wrap my head around this riddle but I can't find any loop holes where this doesn't suck really badly for me.
I guess the best combo would be fuck Mogg, Marry Megg, Kill WWJ.
How canon is Xmas 2017? Because if it's any indication, Jones' lifestyle is going to do him in one day.
No way, man. WWJ is immortal.
Anyone else been in living rooms that look like this?
I've been in garages that function as bedrooms/living rooms that look like this.
so can someone provide scans? I want to read all those comics now.
mediafire.com
Fuck it I might as well share the love.
Is Megg an actual witch?
The fantastic elements such as witches, human sized owls and boogeymen exist just to juxtapose how realistic mental illness and drug usage is depicted in the series.
She flies in a broom early on but otherwise just talks about spells occasionally?
Yes. The characters are as they appear. She's just lazy, so she doesn't do much witchy stuff.
Whats the bucket for?
For doing buckets. Or some call it the gravity/bucket bong. Gives you one hell of a high.
it got teased in bad gateway, like you expect it to happen but it's a fakeout
I find it odd that everyone grew up in the same state and later moved several states over to live in the same town. Did the 5 of them move at the same time?
I guess... fuck Megg (wouldn't be the first filthy stoner chick I've been with), marry Owl, and then kill Mogg (because he's fuck).
I'm going to assume that the fourth one I didn't choose just doesn't have any sort of presence in my life. I'm fine with not having to be acquainted with WWJ.
It's definitely a plot hole. Are you including the entire cast of characters from highschool, Mike is there too right? So 6 with megg mogg owl wwj booger and Mike? Maybe they all went to the same college and dropped out?
Originally they were all in Tasmania before it was switched to the states. Don't think about the geography or timeline too hard, just enjoy the suffering
Fuck Megg, Kill myself.
I thought it was somewhere down andah.
i've slept on some couches in some living rooms that looked exactly like this
According to an interview, she's a "lapsed witch."
It's possible that Megg's mom lives in a different town than where they grew up. Alternatively, maybe they're all just that clingy that they decided to head to the same big city as a means of getting out of their shit-ass hometown.
That's something I've been curious about. Did any of these characters attend college? It seems like if they did they all dropped out. Owl seems like he could've graduated but hasn't done anything with his degree.
It says it's set to private.
He's a very tragic character. Xmas 2017 implies he actually goes even more downhill to the point no one wants to be near him by the time he dies.
Some info, I recently saw a video of Simon on an panel in Spain talking about how the next comic would feature WWJ's father
>Hey we need to get out of this nowhere podunk town
>City is expensive, but we can afford a place if we all pool our income and live together
>Ah shit living with my best friends, this will be great.
Seems pretty realistic to me and explains how Owl got trapped with them as well.
That Megg is hot
>WWJ's father
Straightlaced boomer disappointed in his degenerate son or colossal fuckup that is somehow an even bigger piece of shit?
>WWJ's father
Jesus Christ
Yeah he gets to the point where even Megg and Mogg can't stand him. That is pretty next level.
>colossal fuckup that is somehow an even bigger piece of shit?
I feel like he can't be worse and not be in jail/dead. Maybe he is just awful in a slightly different direction. WWJ is a caring but utterly and completely misguided and terrible father while WWJ sr might have been straight up abusive.
I envision two possibilities for WWJ Sr., and neither of them are very positive:
>He's a filthy, boorish bogan who lives similarly to how WWJ lives now and raised him similarly to how he raises Diesel and Jaxon. He's possibly also a tweaker.
>He's a very conservative and religious man of an evangelical protestant bent. Probably emotionally distant and physically abusive to WWJ, as he thinks that showing affection or love to people is "fruity" (this would be where WWJ gets his irrational thirst for love and attention). He froths at the mouth over his hatred of "the homos" as well as the behavior his son gets up to, but he is himself a raging alcoholic and maybe a closeted homosexual/bisexual as well.
I'm just trying to imagine what kind of upbringing would produce a person like WWJ and those are the scenarios my mind keeps returning to. WWJ's dad definitely beat his son and screamed expletives at him, whatever he was like.
I could see your second take being painfully accurate to his upbringing. There's already a bunch of shithead druggies and criminals in this world so someone on the complete opposite end would be interesting. Would his father also be a werewolf, but never changes due to never indulging any vices?
I would guess that WWJ's dad was a deadbeat convict who was gone for long periods of his son's childhood, and was probably emotionally unavailable and/or drunk when he was present.
Believe me, I know from experience that having that kind of upbringing takes its toll. My ex-gf and several friends I've had over the years had the misfortune of having parents or guardians similar to what I described, sometimes with boozing or even worse vices thrown into the mix. WWJ feels like an extreme version of that.
Assuming that this version of WWJ Sr. is an alcoholic, he'd definitely be a werewolf all the time. He wouldn't have red eyes because he thinks weed is for hippies, but he's probably knocking back a fifth of Jack before 10 AM most mornings. It'd be interesting if WWJ Sr. was outwardly clean-cut and professional, or maybe even middle-class. Maybe he's a successful accountant or business-owner who just so happens to be a maniacal, hard-drinking fundamentalist. In that case he'd be drinking Johnny Walker instead of Jim Beam. WWJ Sr. is probably a narcissist or has some other antisocial personality disorder, which would explain why WWJ has such a powerful thirst for attention: he never got it from his parents and so he's become horribly maladjusted.
Although WWJ is a monstrous man, I can't help but feel some pity for him. It's clear that he's dead on the inside and that living is a curse for him. He's like a dumb, rabid animal that needs to be taken behind the wood shed.
Well fuck me.
I was downloading shit from it just a few hours ago.
More than half of my extended family's living rooms used to look like it. I have a friend across town right now who's living in a shithole that's verging on becoming like it, but its a little too organized. Not organized, mind you, but just organized that it isn't MM&O.
but it has mutiple flavours, including cola, do you hate them all?
Reminds me of a neckbeard nest. Theres a sub for it on plebbit and I use it to remind myself not to be a filthy animal
>Finally seeing WWJ's dad after just seeing his even worse off baby daughter
>The rest of the redone Megg's Coven
>Whatever else Simon has in mind
Can't wait for the next book. Probably something even more special then Bad Gateway. Here's to a two year wait.
Here's to less than two, one hopes. But we are getting some new zines soon going by his instagram, Owl included.
I honestly wonder how long Simon plans on the doing the series past Jones' death.
Will Mogg kill himself after Megg finally leaves him?
He'll have a mental breakdown of some kind at least. He already has freakouts because of Megg wanting to get in a pseudo-lesbian relationship with Booger now
yeah that's what i imagine it would be like
Rotated for sanity's sake
damn, that's pretty rad
It's weird seeing how small Mogg actually is compared to the others.
Simons said on interviews that he's thought about all character's future lives, like what will happen on their thirties, fourties, he actually wants the story to unfold through decades
A real cat would be a bit bigger.
That's borderline kitten sized.
I doubt exact fidelity of scale was top of mind.
I'm actually jealous because this looks like real to goodness life art and not just some virtue signaling charlatan.
I think he'll probably based on Simon's own father: some kind of scumbag, nazi biker that left them when he was like a toddler.
I've been watching interviews and he speaks a lot about from where does the comic draws inspiration, mostly his fucked-up family and friends. He is also quite spoilery, in a 2016 panel he literally talks about WWJ's baby on a cage and how he has like 7 kids.
classic
In the order you listed
There’s a bit at the very very end after the bit with the DEA and megg at 16, but I’m splitting hairs here cause in total that’s like 6-8 panels total
Okay, so after the show I went home and cleaned up my house and then passed out. I’ll dump the rest I got now.
Another shot of the couch scene. Which by the way the tv was on with some weird amalgam of friends the show on loop.
how tf can they afford a mac?
I’ll text my buddies who went with me for their pics cause I didn’t take as many. This if the description of the WWJ scene which was behind a black curtain in a small room.
>When the writer is also the waifu
I should not have this boner. I thought I was NORMAL.
Are those shit prints on the wa-
>Gas X
Yup.
Owl buys one on an amazon sale, or gift from a parent. I grew up with this kind of group and I bugged out when I saw the writing on the wall. Figuratively and literally. Fuck stoners.
So this scene was another behind curtain but like WWJ, but this one had a stove light in the room as the only light source.
Lots of poor people have expensive shit. They just pay in installments.
Often it's more a lot mangeable to afford the first installment than to buy the whole thing in one go. Then you convince yourself you can afford it long term, or your actual need is there and you don't know enough to see that the deal is fucking you over.
I see it all the time in my work, poor people buying some expensive piece of crap tech because they are swayed by good marketing and convince themselves expensive = better in all ways.
This one was at the front of the exhibit
>wwj is a manlet
Here’s a closer shot of megg in the water, unfortunately they were not selling jars of megg bath water.
Honestly I was kind of surprised how harsh and serious the writing on the walls were. They’re far more direct than a lot of megg and mogg I feel.
A much better shot of megg’s morning
Last pic I got basically
Here’s my better pic my buddy took of booger actually
ohhh
He sent me a cease and desist full of spelling errors once
lol
>All those piss jugs
Never seen a girl with piss jugs
nice
why?
>Big scorch mark around the cords.
It really is the little details.
>Is that the rimming cat
That is beautifully disgusting.
She uses a funnel.
collectorfags please rip Entertainment
>It's clear that he's dead on the inside and that living is a curse for him.
I feel like if he OD'ing isn't a concern for him because in his mind it's a win-win. He either gets super-high or dies, either way leaving his shitty life (at least for a lottle while).
>WWJ infected his wife with a sex disease
It’s a nice tribute/analogue.
Was Megg always this stacked?
>she
Do you mean a strobe light?
Phone posting auto correct, yee
Such drug kino
A strobe would have the masculine-shouldered boogerman in women's lingerie come off as rather more horrifying I'd think.
They're probably all too poor for college.
Owl works at a fucking telemarketing call-center so he probably has no credentials.
She's a bit fat, so yeah probably.
Thanks to the guy who posted the pictures of the exhibit. Fuck I wanna go myself so bad.
all those ikea glasses and the cheap table, perfect
Is there any ICarly in there?
>Implying the forbidden box set would be out in the open
That shit's in the secret drug cupboard.
It never really dawned on me how crushingly sad the lifestyle of these characters is until you see realistic depictions of them.
I'm happy for you that you've never experienced that in real life. MMO is a shockingly realistic depiction of the life that millions of people lead.
It's amazing. You can practically smell it.
Booger seemed like much more of a happy person when he was just a drag queen instead of a transgenderoid. Also, he wasn't trying to fuck Meg and was getting his butthole fingered at parties.
>when he was just a drag queen instead of a transgenderoid
When was that?
earlier on in the comics history he described himself as a "drag artist" and was usually having fun and getting laid instead of being terrified all the time.
Booger really is pathetic. Mogg is the biggest asshole, Megg is the saddest sack, WWJ is the most out of control, and Booger is the most pathetic.
Owl's pathetic too, in his own way.
I think we can all agree Mike is absolutely without flaw.
What about Wizard Mike?
>Mike is absolutely without flaw
not after bad gateway we cant
Nah, Mike got WWJ back on drugs after finally becoming sober. He's a dickhead.
Owl was pretty pathetic but then he grew enough spine to escape. He's a pretentious dweeb but getting out made him downright heroic in comparison to these other losers.
He's the most braindead. It would never cross his mind that he's a loser.
Werewolf Jones wasn't going to stay sober, not in the environment he was living in and the people who he spends his time with. Mike is a hero for ripping that band-aid off. The sooner Werewolf Jones overdoses, the sooner things will get better for everyone. It's a mercy killing.
He refused weed from Megg. The difference is she didn't push it.
You're an enabling cuntbucket, ya know that?
Given Megg and Mogg's past behavior towards Owl when Owl was trying to cut back, I dont put it past them to surreptitiously dose Jones, especially given how him being sober massively took them out of their comfort zone.
What's "cooking leaf"?
He was an enabler. WWJ said no at first but Mike kept pushing it at him until he broke down and just took some.
Jones did the same thing to Dracula Junior. Perhaps it is truly Jones who is the enabler, as he both enabled Dracula Junior AND himself.
Yee it’s all real, I’m a couple steps away from this to be brutally honest. It’s mainly that I don’t have the friends to facilitate this life.
I do drugs from time to time, mainly molly and I drink far more often than I should. Literally I drink socially, the most I’ve ever drank alone is two beers and I felt like shit for it.
The worst feeling about all of it, is the lapse in the numbness. You forget what you’re doing to yourself, and you just ride the ride. Then your brain turns on again, and all you hear is fucking screaming. It’s like brain damage that wears off just long enough to feel what that damage has caused.
I’m basically owl, not too many degrees of separation there. I have a lot of excuses, but I feel like shit trying to lean on any of them.
Maybe the kind that's used to make brownies with?
The second is GG Allin's upbringing. I could definetly see it panning out this way.
Getting more than a bit sick of MM&O, Simon shows zero progression as a cartoonist and the slackertude schitck was old before his first strip got published.
Man the flashback was more depressing than I'd expected. Megg's mom was much more functional than Megg is. It's like a generational decline to oblivion.
Once a dealer always a dealer.
>Club Mate is German and I hate it's taste
You get used to it.
>Simon shows zero progression as a cartoonist
What do you mean? The subject matter is getting more and more bleak so there's a kind of tonal arc.
Whenever I read about WWJ's more disturbing actions, I have a brief moment where I think that there's no way anyone in real life could be as outlandishly bad as he is. But then I have to remind myself that I've known multiple WWJ's. Hanselmann is uncannily good at portraying the ennui and despair of life in the 2010's.
That poor baby...
It's more that they're all feeling the effects of their life style as time goes on and the desperation increases. The earlier lighthearted strips have them all just goofing off but all the drugs and debauchery and not doing anything productive has taken its toll. Basically their way of living is getting to be unsustainable and it's exacerbating all of their problems.
i was expecting her mum to be much more of a neglectful cunt and more far gone than she was at that point. it made me a lot sadder to see the state she ended up in in megg's coven now
Either this or it's some slang term relating to it being hidden in the kitchen.
Clearly she wasn't a perfect parent, but you get the sense that Megg's mom tried to do right by her in spite of her own problems. It makes me wonder what the rest of Megg's childhood was like, and whether her mom was sober or using for most of it.
Anytime his kids make an appearance I just feel really bad for them. No one deserves to deal with that shit at such a young age. I hope Diesel, Jaxon, and their younger sister make it out alright after WWJ dies. Even foster care would be better than living with him as a parent (which isn't saying much, unfortunately).
Considering that the baby is in werewolf form, WWJ must have fed her an energy drink or something with sugar in it. Or something even worse.
>mfw I'm reminded of the scene in True Detective where Rust sees a tweaker inject crystal meth into a baby
jaxon's still wolfed out when he visits his dad's grave and sees Owl there but he doesn't have the candy 5 o'clock shadow and looks cleaned up and has glasses.
>mmo
She's kind of shit at it, though. She bought those expensive skates because Megg was grumpy.
A couple user's theorized he may be on adderall or some other legal stimulate. I, personally, think he may be on anti-depressants.
SSRIs or maybe he's a casual or at least functional stoner like Owl.
That "You look good today" "Alright!" bit with WWJ and Megg's mom was suspicious.
She isn't whoring herself out to teenagers to supplement her dealing income, is she?
I don't think so, it's more just that WWJ is a horndog teenager who's attracted to Megg's mom. It's just him hitting on her.
Megg's mom seems pretty adverse to her witch friend's suggestion that she take part in the sex show, so it's possible she's done stuff like that in the past. It doesn't seem like she's doing it when that strip takes place, nor does it seem like there's any need for her to do so. She's apparently a successful dealer, so there wouldn't be a pressing need to resort to degrading crackhead shit like that just yet.
I used to have to piss in a plastic grocery bag because I was scared of running into my father.
>She isn't whoring herself out to teenagers to supplement her dealing income, is she?
I think she just deals to WWJ and fucks him for free.
Not even a bottle? Jesus.
Why does Megg's piss had sediment in it.
Yeah, are there any piss scientists in the thread?
My guess is your piss is waste so some of it is particles and over time the particles settle at the bottom.
i thought the thing was that readers are living that lifestyle or something like it, its not like they never clean, theyve just had a drinking party
>its not like they never clean
They fucking don't.
Owl is the only one that tidies up while Megg and Mogg's room is consistently filthy. And even if they were in the aftermath of a drinking party consider that the house always looks like that.
That would still imply some serious substance abuse issues.
baby kidney stones
Is Owl coming back in some capacity in the next volume?
someone post a mega or something that isnt set to private.
hope not
Looks like it, as well as in the next few zines.
Also wonder if Simon's gonna do some non-MMO comics ever again. Granted, if he's content just doing the one series, more power to him.
It is possible. I know he is at least on speaking terms with the gang by the time WWJ beefs it for the last time so they have to reconcile eventually.
I agree with this but only for Owl's sake not because I don't want to see him again.
yeah right if he gets sucked up in that life again its gonna make me sad
He had enough balls to walk out on them; I don't think he'd let them ruin whatever he has going on for him now.
His ancient crush on Megg was probably the biggest thing keeping him there and he stared her in the eye and told her he was over her.
who do you think Owl's new crush is going to be?
Some non-descript chick named Susan at his new job.
I think the point is that she tries despite her addiction. Like it's hard for an addict to save money instead of use. She could have told her rent isn't free and they don't have to pay it on their backs and weed or that she's clearly fed and healthy.
>A perfect bubble of pure freedom, no responsibilities, nowhere to be
This rings with me hard
I guess Megg lost some weight between the high school flashback and the flashback in the new book since the DEA guy called her skinny. Maybe she grew out of it.
What are they doing with the lifesize meggs after they are done with the exibits?
Probably sold to the highest bidder. Simon has teased resellers scalping but I bet altruism has its price. I'm sure it was tongue in cheek.
You never pissed in bottles as a teenager so you didn't have to leave your room due to chronic anxiety and xenophobia?
Uric acid crystals gradually clump together to form hard yellow scum
Reading MM&O gives me the same feeling I get from listening to "The Dead Flag Blues" by Godspeed You Black Emperor.
youtu.be
Am I MMOcore yet?
needs more booze
but yeah
aaaahhhh just throw it away its not hard.
Can Megg be saved? Her having to sell her Gretzky's and remembering all the personal items she sold for drugs came off as a pretty sobering moment. I never read the original Megg's Coven, but I have a feeling spending an extended time in her junkie mother's presence is also going to give her some much needed soul searching. I also think she'd do so much better dating Booger, but Mogg would probably kill himself if that happened.
Get a trash bag and clean that shit up user, what the fuck
She may be less bad than mogg and wwj but she's still a sociopath on top of being lazy and apathetic so id say its unlikely
unless bullying fixes her
Clutter and disorganization is one thing
Literal trash is another.
If you spent even 5 minutes a week tidying up, the place would look better.
he mentioned Girl Mountain was near completion but that was years ago
>you wanna practice kissing again?
>no!
She can probably be saved but she will never be successful. Best case scenario she works entry level crap jobs for the rest of her life looking like absolute crap by her 40s from all the substance abuse. Worst case she suicides realizing her life is a garbage pit she could leave any time she wants but wont. The only thing to pull her out would be a literal near death experience.
I'd say the steady diet of fast food and never drinking anything other than soda and liquor is going to do more damage to her than the drugs since I can't recall her doing anything harder than psychedelics. But yeah, she doesn't seem to have the drive to do anything meaningful in a professional sense.
Megg isn't a sociopath just because she does bad things. Genuine antisocial monsters exist, but they're exceedingly rare in the general population. If she did indeed fall under that cluster of personality disorders, she genuinely wouldn't feel empathy towards anyone, which runs contrary to her caring about Booger (and even a little bit towards Mogg at the end of BG, even if their relationship has deteriorated). She also wouldn't have felt remorse over selling the Gretsky's. That at least indicates that she loves her mom on some level, as otherwise she wouldn't feel guilty about having pawned these skates her mom worked hard to get her.
Part of the true horror of MM&O is that all these characters do evil in spite of having functioning consciences and the ability to tell right from wrong (including WWJ, at least when he's sober). As we've seen, it seems like they could all mostly be good or at least normal people if their lifestyle and drug use wasn't exacerbating their negative qualities.
>That junji ito book
Seeing toys in such a miserable environment makes my brain itch.
Now that I am thinking about it some MM&O toys would be kind of neat.
Man what the fuck how could I miss this?
Sorry you missed out, it was a fucking trip.
Would MM&O work as an animated series?
Maybe but it would have to be animated in a very grungy way that would be hard to pull off and not be censored at all.
no, user. i never did that.
I think it would be fine. As a web series it wouldn't have to change at all. They'd have to tone down the sex to put it on TV, but there are plenty of good parts that don't involve eating ass. The real problem would be the drug use. You can't remove drugs from any of the stories and have them work, but some regions of the world are pretty strict about depicting that on television. It might be fine as a late night show in the US, but places like Australia have been known to demand the removal of drug references from video games before they can be sold. I don't know if they're more okay with drugs on tv though.
those glasses and ramen bloxes are too clean. They should be full of stains and spots
Seriously. As someone who also lived in squalor for a while, it's way easier than you think it will be to clean things as long as you just clean a little more than you litter each day, and it feels incredible.
Yeah I just got a big box of trashbags and started tossing things. It went by so much faster than I had convinced myself how long it would take. "Oh no there's just too much, it would take weeks to get rid of it all" 15 minutes later its all in bags. Some people toss all their clothes on the ground though, I guess get a separate bag and prepare for a trip to the washateria. The heavy duty washing machines can handle giant loads. Its kinda boring sitting around waiting for it to finish as I'm paranoid and think someone is going to steal all my stuff.
I imagine a style like salad fingers or other david firth's works would work well
it's gummo tho
This is sonichu level hoard. I see no drugs.
Take a book.
The only thing that gets me here is the bottles, glasses and bong are too clean.
Yeah they should be covered in a layer of thick dust, feathers, and cat hair. Kinda hard to replicate old fuzzy dust convincingly though.
Congratulations on cleaning your room, user.
I was surprisingly touched at Mogg's send-off to Megg before she went to see her mom. I'm sure he's going to fuck it up, but promising to take care of the house is about the most supportive thing he can do in the situation.
I wonder if (perhaps) being given up on by his dad earlier gave him some respect for Megg's response to her mother's call for help?
>gamefaqs
>not reddit
It's an older meme, but it checks out.
there's that one comic where her and mogg have just got done fucking in a public toilet and are doing lines of something off the seat
The light in the living room already blew out and he's never gonna fix that. He's just gonna wallow in self-pity in the dark till WWJ comes back.
But he literally can't fix it because he is a cat. Same with stopping WWJ throwing a druggie-party and wrecking the house which was implied in the preview page. It's not exactly this fault when he's like a sixth of the size of anyone else.
I always felt like MMO runs on a very soft sort of canon, and some things happened more than other things happened, even with regards to things that happen in the main collections.
So sometimes something happens that blows past the norm of awfulness for the series, but doesn't seem to stick or ever get referenced again. It happens in its own story, but not necessarily in subsequent ones.
A good example is Jones camming one of his kids. It blows past the norm even for the series, and some the characters don't react to it even as much as you'd expect these people to.
And then all subsequent comics are as though it never happened. In bad gateway they're horrified and it becomes a significant plot point when it turns out he's keeping his infant daughter in a cage, which is much less bad than the previous incident. The cage incident, as part of the long-term narrative that's become more central to the series with each collection, happened to a far greater extent then the Camming comic happened.
So if you pick the worst things we ever see Jones do he's a lot more irredeemable than if you try and take into account the degree to which different incidents stick, what the current Jones you see on the page is really likely to have done.
Stories like Felt Hats and Jones injecting his eye with rotten orange juice are, I feel, a good bench mark for what Jones is usually like, rather than someone seriously and regularly sexually abusing both his sons.
It's not Brandon Sanderson book, the fantastical elements are always mundane within the world and unimpressive, such that they can never help the characters live any better than people with their personalities would in real life.
So yeah she's a witch but it doesn't mean anything. It's just there because it reinforces the idea of living an isolated, decrepid life with weird creatures.
One thing I am interested in is the fact that neither Megg nor her mother are Witches in the flashbacks in bad gateway. I think them becoming witches is gonna be its own story in the next collection.
And then there's "Ram Raids" which is 100% silly-ass comedy from start to finish.
I think Hanselmann doesn't always want to do "actually it's sad" druggie comics and just uses the same characters to do gag stuff.
It is set to private. Can you please change that again PLEASE? I didn't manage to get it.
I imagine an animated MM&O adaptation as having that squigglevision quality that EEnE and Home Movies have, but even more deranged-looking.
so glad ive never stayed at a punk house that bad.
I was thinking more Squidbillies/12 oz mouse
Does Booger have a bulge?
Watch the movie "Spun" and try emulating how the characters in that live.
Would have to be hand-animated (or at least look convincingly that way) preferably coloured with food colouring
booger is male, so yes.
I meant the sculpture specifically
oh, then yes. it does have a bulge.
it looks like a male mannequin which do have bulges so yes
i could see the BallMasterz or the SuperJail studio pulling off an MM&O cartoon.
they'd do fantastic psychedelic drug trips; but there might not be enough action and violence in MMO to interest that studio.
RAM RAIDS! WOO HOO!
Truth Zone is the worst MMO collection
I tried watching spun the other day. Is there an uncensored version or is that just how it is? I think I stopped watching after they went to the store to buy ingredients should I continue watching or is it more of the same?
You got pleb filtered.
>comics are all shit! nobody reads REAL comics!
So what are some good comics that WWJ reads?
What did Megg's mom mean when she warned the cop that the bag had "uncapped sharps" in it? Sounds like needles, but why would she admit there are needles floating around? Doesn't that violate the terms of her "program"?
>Scott Pilgrim
It feels weird to live in a world where O'Malley is kind of has-been while Hanselmann still seems to be building towards something.
>O'Malley is kind of has-been
One-trick pony.
yeah uncapped sharps means needles, people with diabetes use insulin needles so it's not too uncommon (but it's not like it matters since she's being raided for drugs anyway)
because if the cop handled the bag and got poked by a diseased crackheads needle he'd be furious. She thought it would be better to warn him.
Isn't her having those lying around extremely suspicious? Maybe they can't do anything about it since having needles isn't illegal but it seems like a tip-off she's cheating while she tries to pretend like she's clean.
The jig was up at that point. He was going to dig around in there, so her options are A: Warn him about the needles, make up a BS excuse for having them, and maybe earn enough good boy points to not get fucking arrested, B: Let him fish around in the bag, get stuck/find the needles anyway, and then get interrogated all night by a pissed off narc, and C: Do something retarded like try to dive out the window, run down the block and try to hide in a neighbor's kid's plastic backyard playhouse and end up on an episode of COPS.
>Reads
>Werewolf Jones
He doesn't strike me as much of a reader. He was probably just posturing because he shoplifted an issue of Archie or something and thinks that makes him an expert.
he had to clean them for the museum
t. someone who was at the bad gateway book signing there
WWJ is into small press, fantagraphics ducks and FCBD comics that he uses as toilet paper.
i was thinking about this page yesterday.
Meg Mogg and Owl.
Fuck Scott pilgrim and fuck canada
That user can't change it. It's not his folder, he was sharing someone elses uploads.
Even thou shitting his pants makes him sound silly, what wwj is saying is 1000% factual and correct.
i think mmo would look sweet in a stop-animation style
If being a has-been includes having a goddamn successful comic/franchise that got optioned into a movie then sign me the fuck up. As it is, basically all the other people in his old creative orbit ended up doing nothing save like, Alex Ahad
I mean I would take that life.
People still talk about his comic, his movie flopped but it also obtained cult status which is more than most comic book films can say. Hell the vidya was pretty fun too.
I would say it is better to be a has been than a never been.
Do it like this.
Puppet MM&O would work really well actually. The live action set could help drive home the misery.
bump
>The live action set could help drive home the misery
Yeah the exhibit in the thread makes things look way worse than what the comic depicts. When watching any cartoon with something "dirty" I mentally don't register it as dirty. Like in Ahh Real Monsters where they all live in the dump. At no point does it even register to me how filthy it must be.
Crude, claymation would work wonders for this series.
