I guess I'm confused. Are the people in the final panel established characters? Why is there a bear loading boxes?

Welcome to Critical Miss. You might want to re-read the first few strips, almost everybody in the last panel, the bear included, are introduced in the first ten or so strips...

Heh, rather than wasting my time I guess I'll accept that it doesn't make any sense, if you only consider the context given within the strip itself.

Yes because they should reintroduce every character every single time they appear in a strip, just to appease the lazy and memory impaired.

Heh, if it doesn't make any sense without that context? Maybe.

Though I would agree that people who are both lazy and memory impaired aren't a key demographic of anything really. They'd forget as soon as you explained it!

I happen to be in neither demographic. As a new reader, I have no knowledge of characters introduced in the first ten strips, but haven't been in the strips for weeks, so I can't be memory impaired.

As someone who didn't find this particular strip particularly illuminating or enlightening since it lacked important context, I'm hardly lazy for not seeing a reason to devote more time to it!

Note that you're talking about the ME3 movement being bashed by THIS comic (and not the Critical Miss before this one), in the last few of your posts. You see nothing but "bashing ME3 movement", even if you do/do not see the underlying joke.

I am pointing out that you can't exactly see past "ME3 movement bashing" in my post.

Case in point: The authors could have put in fan whining about Dragon-Age map-repeat, Final Fantasy "railroad maps", Duke Nukem, North Korea Missile Launch, etc... as the main topic of this strip, and it would still be able to hold itself, simply because the topic/message is NOT "ME3 movement bashing".

Quoting grey "Really? My other strips are fine but the last one was "low?" It's funny how the movement's sense of humour seems to evaporate when they're the butt of the joke."
Im pretty sure that was about this strip.

Sorry i do understand the joke, but even if it wasnt about ME3 movement i find it humorless, more like trolling either for the complexsity it takes to get the joke, because you have to read it 2 or 3 times to get what they mean, because it wasnt very well done artistically speaking, or because the theme to exploit was the ReTake Movement itself. (Or maybe because im not a native english speaker and im unable to relate to that humor)

Anyway it would be great if you can tell me what are you sideing for, just for the record.(and because we have been discussing this for several days lol)
I what i could understand in your statements is that you didnt liked the ending, your are tired of the theme of using the mainstream of the ReTake movement or that it was just att seeking. But you disagree with the movement itself and you do think we are going too far.

Did i got it right?

Since you asked so nicely:
a) That comment you quoted, that was the author himself mentioning the PREVIOUS comic, not this one. The one with the blowjob. And his response was in note of my description of that other ME3 movement strip as "low".

If you didn't spot my response to that comment you quoted, I basically said "Yes it is low. Yes i LOVED it. Keep it coming."

b) I LIKED this comic (although I like the rage in the comments even more).

c) I did not say I dislike the ME3 movement. I just said I am not part of it. Yes I hate the ME3 endings, but I don't see the point of joining said movement, or why there is a need to have that movement in the first place. And I perfectly GOT this comic, and it is quite chuckle-worthy simply because (different from your understanding of my comments) I can see the comic stabbing at the industry's practice of riding the hate wave.

d)

...because you have to read it 2 or 3 times to get what they mean...(Or maybe because im not a native english speaker and im unable to relate to that humor)

This. I think this more than anything.

On a similar note: don't read British jokes. They depend on the same level of "thinking to get the joke" that'll fly over your head...

As of this point, I'm pretty much done with the issue altogether, but I would still buy one of those Tshirts. I can think of so many uses for it.

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go hide from the internet for a while until this finishes blowing over. Apparently it's not done yet.
