Meme Heroes Against The Great Tribulation

Author's Note: All copyrights for the characters in this comic go to their respective owners.

Amid all the turmoil that is going on right now, it is safe to say that Earth is sailing on course into The Great Tribulation, a time period that is so bad that there will be nothing like it. However, there will always be heroes who will not let the villains of Revelation 13 have their way, even if the odds are totally against them.

Here are eight meme characters that I think would stand up against the villains of Revelation 13:

Gonbe: The farmer who staged a revolt in the Sunsoft arcade game Ikki, whch was best known for its Famicom port inventing the kusoge genre, would definitely be one of those meme characters who would attack the villains of Revelation 13. He would get his bamboo spear ready to attack the baddies, even if the odds are stacked against him.

Wynn: The main protagonist of Sunsoft's Atlantis no Nazo (Mystery of Atlantis in the long awaited Western re-release), which claims to be the game that would surpass Super Mario Bros, which it only did in the number of levels, would get his bombs ready and join forces with fellow kusoge hero Gonbe from Sunsoft's Ikki in taking down the baddies, regardless of how high the odds are against them.

CD-i Link: This version of Link from the Legend of Zelda series isn't the kind who would be worthy of wielding the Master Sword. And there are some Zelda fans claim that Ganon(dorf) is the Antichrist. Even if CD-i Link gets equipped with the Master Sword, there would be no way he would defeat the Antichrist, because the theory claiming that Ganon is the Antichrist may not even be true...

Ugandan Knuckles: This fan-made meme variant of a popular Sonic character would definitely give the Antichrist Beast a huge headache, even if his "Do You Know The Way?" kind of annoyance gets cut short by the Beast of Revelation 13 trampling on him.

Leeroy Jenkins: Attacking the Beast of Revelation 13 is obviously suicidal, but Leeroy Jenkins doesn't care. He would yell out his name and charge at the villains of Revelation 13. Even in death, at least he had chicken...

Google Chrome T-Rex: The dinosaur who jumps over cacti when the Wi-Fi is down would attack the Beast of Revelation 13 like a real T-Rex, even if the villains of Revelation 13 are almost undefeatable.

Inori Aizawa: The patron saint of Internet Explorer and its successor Microsoft Edge would do everything in her power to take down the villains of Revelation 13. Unfortunately, the Antichrist would have been a master of cyber-warfare, possessing the forbidden knowledge of dark sentences such as weaponizing AI for nefarious purposes. This means Inori Aizawa would have virtually no chance of victory over the Antichrist and his False Prophet.

Peppino Spaghetti: Just because this Italian pizza chef is unstoppable in his home game, doesn't mean he would defeat the villains of Revelation 13. However, he could end up frustrating the villains long enough for Jesus Christ's Second Coming to land the finishing blow and send the Antichrist and False Prophet blasting off into the Lake of Fire.

With all that said, if these eight meme heroes joined forces to thwart the villains of Revelation 13, they could hold the line long enough until Christ's Second Coming sends the Beast of Revelation 13 and the False Prophet into the Lake of Fire, bringing about the end of this present Evil Age that has been tormenting humanity for 6000 years.

Superiority over Huawei and Xiaomi

In light of how consumers from Mainland China are snubbing Huawei and Xiaomi in favour of Apple products, some Chinese consumers are saying that not only is the iPhone 8 still going strong even after nearly 10 years, they even say that Oppo is laughing at Huawei and Xiaomi right now, even if Oppo was from Mainland China just like Huawei and Xiaomi. Sure, the iPhone Duo is currently having its own problems, but even if Crackgate is worse than you think, Apple still has the iPhone 17 and the iPhone 18 to fall back to, for both of them are humiliating Huawei and Xiaomi in Mainland China right now as we speak.

For those wondering which particular Oppo phone is featured in this comic, it's the Oppo Reno 12F.

Cellphone Nostalgia

Does anyone remember the good old days of the pre-smartphone age of Samsung cellphones? Those were the real glory days of Samsung cellphones before they blew it with the infamous Samsung Galaxy Note 7 during the smartphone age of cellphones. Especially when Samsung's cellphones from the pre-smartphone era had wonderful startup and shutdown animations.

Ptolemy Costume Guide

#Costober concludes with a Taito-themed costume guide. But this is no ordinary costume guide. This one is based on a Taito arcade game that not only never left Japan until it was re-released in 2006 as part of the Taito Legends series, but it also had a Famicom port that was never released at all.

The Fairyland Story has to be one of those forgotten Arcade titles from Taito, the very same company that was known for Space Invaders. However, what we do not know was that The Fairyland Story was a predecessor to Bubble Bobble. Not only that, its main protagonist, Ptolemy, was also one of those female protagonists that predated Metroid's Samus. The game, however, never left Japan until the release of Taito Legends 2 for the PlayStation 2, XBox and Microsoft Windows as well as Taito Legends: Power-Up for the PlayStation Portable.

Super Metroid Ending Costume Guide

Author's Note: This #Costober costume guide is a belated tribute to the 40th Anniversary of the Metroid series.

So you've completed Super Metroid for the SNES, right? Even better still, you've beaten the game in less than 3 hours. What kind of ending do you get? You get to see Samus in a black bikini, of course!

Vault Boy Costume Guide

#Costober continues with another costume guide, and Today's one is about the poster boy of Bethesda's Fallout series. Yes, we are talking about the Vault Boy.

If there was anyone who best represents the Fallout series, it's always the Vault Boy. He's so iconic that not only was he a DLC Mii Gunner Costume in Super Smash Bros Ultimate, he even got an origin story in the Fallout TV Series as well.

Madiesha Costume Guide

It's been several days since I last did a costume guide for #Costober, but I'm back with some new costume guides.

For those wondering who Madiesha is, she's the Romanian leotard-clad gymnast from a forgotten Taiwanese MS-DOS fighting game called Tough Guy. Obscure games need some love too...

Armor Piercing Throw

Characters getting struck by a Rune Dagger thrown at them, from left to right: Female noob wearing bronze armor (RuneScape), Sir Arthur (Ghosts'n Goblins), Low-level female archer wearing Green Shivermail armor (MapleStory).

If a Rune Dagger from RuneScape was to be thrown at anyone, low-level armor such as the Bronze Platebody from RuneScape (Old School RuneScape's version being featured in this comic) and the Shivermail armor from MapleStory would get easily penetrated. The flimsy armor from Ghosts'n Goblins would just break apart if it got penetrated by the Rune Dagger that was thrown at it.

Peter Pepper Costume Guide

The costume guides for #Costober are done for now. But you do not know when it will be back. Maybe you do not have to wait until next October. Who knows...

If you are thinking about food during #Costober, why not dress up as Peter Pepper from BurgerTime? He's a great burger chef after all.

Bonk Costume Guide

#Costober continues with yet another costume guide. One that makes us want to take down villains by butting heads.

We thought the Bonk series was extinct when Bonk: Brink of Extinction was cancelled as a result of Hudson Soft being assimilated into Konami. We were wrong. When Konami announced that Bonk's Adventure and Bonk's Revenge are going to be part of the TurboGrafx-16 Mini's game lineup, it turns out Konami still remembers the Hudson Soft library. So if you want to be dressed up as a caveman, Bonk is your best choice.

By the way, this costume guide for Bonk is about Bonk's in-game attire as it appeared in various games in the Bonk series such as Bonk's Adventure, Bonk's Revenge, and Bonk's Return.

Thundra Costume Guide

#Costober continues with another costume guide, and Today's costume is from an obscure fighting game from the Atari Jaguar. That's right. We're talking about Kasumi Ninja, the one game known for Angus McGreggor and the fireballs that come out from under his kilt. But that is not the only thing Atari's Kasumi Ninja is known for.

This costume guide is about Kasumi Ninja's bikini-clad lady Thundra. She's one of two ladies who bring fanservice to the Atari Jaguar, with Ultra Vortek's Volcana being the other fanservice lady.

If it wasn't for Angus McGreggor's kilt fireballs and Thundra's black bikini, Kasumi Ninja would have been Obscure with a Capital O. And it doesn't help when this obscurity was eclipsed by Ultra Vortek...

Silver Pegasus Costume Guide

Author's Note: This Costume Guide for the Silver Pegasus from Heroes of Might and Magic 3 only included the female rider's costume and not her winged steed's armor.

It's October, and this means one thing. It's not #Inktober. Not #Scaretober. Not #Spooktober. Not #Ghostober. Not #Goretober. Not #Swordtober. And most definitely not #Sinktober. It's time for #Costober. Which means it's time for costume guides.

I do not understand why the Silver Pegasus from Heroes of Might and Magic 3 has the female rider wear a breastplate that leaves her midriff exposed and a pair of shorts that look like panties. Other than that, it's actually a great costume, especially when the gloves and boots are silver.

Thinking of other things other than other ladies 10

I'm back with another comic about my OCs in a lawyer-friendly version of the "Thinking about other women" meme. Hopefully this one will be my last "Thinking about the other ladies" comic amid creative burnout and a world whose turmoil continues to grow.

Ever wondered why Charlie Brown was portrayed as a relatable underdog who never wins in the Peanuts comics? That's because Charlie Brown and Charles M Schulz were one and the same. According to Craig Schulz, Charlie Brown was Charles M Schulz's real self, while Snoopy was what the Peanuts author wanted to be. Even then, Snoopy rarely wins because Charlie Brown and Snoopy were two sides of the same coin that was Peanuts author Charles M Schulz, who had been fighting an unwinnable battle against depression until he died in 2000 after losing his battle with colon cancer.

While everyone praises the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) for resurrecting the video game industry, some historians claim that the video game industry if the NES did not come to rescue the video game industry, it would have ended up looking more like the video gaming scene in South Korea and Taiwan, where PC gaming is more dominant.

If there was anyone who did more damage in monetary terms to Poland than Germany or Russia, it has to be Sweden. Sure, Germany and Russia did far more property damage, but Sweden's Deluge crippled Poland to the point it lost its status as a great power. A large chunk of the items looted by Sweden were never returned. While people talk about Germany razing 85% of Warsaw when the 1939 Invasion and the Warsaw Rebellions of 1943 and 1944 are taken into account, nobody talked about Sweden totally razing Warsaw during the Deluge.

Recently, Disney's theme parks have been witnessing fights taking place in their queuing areas. These fights are tarnishing Disney's tarnished name, and some Disney fans are unhappy with these fights breaking out, to the point Disney and some of its fans are calling for these fights to cease.

While the Atari 5200 had a defective controller and a subpar game library, it actually had far better sales figures than the Atari Jaguar. The Atari Jaguar only had 250000 units sold, while the Atari 5200 had 1000000 units sold.

The Sega Master System outsold the Sega Dreamcast because Brazil gave more love for the Sega Master System via TecToy. The Sega Master System ended up having 8 million units sold in Brazil, resulting in the Sega Master System sales figures being more than the Sega Dreamcast's 9 million units sold.

Gol Flight 1907

It's been 20 years since a mid-air collision triggered Brazil's worst aviation crisis. A business jet manufactured by Embraer collided with a Boeing 737 above the Amazon Rainforest. The Boeing 737 that was in the collision was Gol Flight 1907, a flight that ended in tragedy, and worst of all, started the Brazilian Aviation Crisis. At the time of the crash, Gol Flight 1907 was Brazil's worst air disaster with a death toll of 154 people. While all seven passengers and crew on the Embraer business jet survived, they have been left with PTSD and survivor guilt that still haunts them to this very day...

Thinking of other things other than other ladies 9

Hey, folks. I'm back once more with yet another comic about my OCs in a lawyer-friendly version of the "Thinking about other women" meme.

Ever wondered why Ash Ketchum was portrayed by the Pokemon Anime's writers as an eternal underdog who could never win a Pokemon League from Gen 1 to Gen 6? That's because Ash Ketchum was not only named after Pokemon creator Satoshi Tajiri, but Ash Ketchum was Satoshi Tajiri's real self. Satoshi Tajiri was always an underdog, and Ash Ketchum was the embodiment and personification of Satoshi Tajiri's underdog spirit.

Speaking of the Pokemon Anime, there is more than enough evidence to prove that Porygon was a scapegoat who was framed for the infamous "Electric Soldier Porygon" epilepsy incident. Why was Porygon not the real culprit? Because none of Porygon's moves in the Pokemon games are capable of causing the epilepsy incident.

All of us are familiar with Clow Reed splitting into two leading to the events of Cardcaptor Sakura. But what we do not realize was that Clow Reed split into two after the dark events of Chapter 200 of Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle, where Princess Sakura was devoured by a Death Seal placed inside her by Fei Wang Reed.

The Tower of Druaga TV series was more than just Gonzo's love letter to the 1984 Namco arcade classic. It helped to revive interest in the Namco arcade game it was based on. Not to mention that The Tower of Druaga TV series wrapped up in 2009, the year of the 25th Anniversary of The Tower of Druaga arcade game.

While the Famicom version of Karateka was mediocre, the Atari 7800 version of Karateka was nearly unplayable...

Konosuba's Aqua is a nearly useless goddess who should not even be in some of the worst possible places such as the Plants Vs Zombies suburb, the world of Golden Axe, and the realm of the Doom demons. Her lack of real combat capabilities would cause her to run around screaming "KAZUMA!!!!! HELP ME!!!!!" is she was in Doom, Golden Axe, or Plants Vs Zombies...

What A Horrible Night To Have Zombies On The Lawn

Author's Note: All copyrights for the characters in this comic go to their respective owners.

I'm very sure some characters would have said "What A Horrible Night To Have Zombies On The Lawn" if they were in the Plants Vs Zombies neighbourhood at night. Here are some characters that would have said "What A Horrible Night To Have Zombies On The Lawn" if they hear the zombies from Plants Vs Zombies say "The Zombies Are Coming!":

Simon Belmont: Zombies have always been a staple opponent of the Belmont Clan in their war against Dracula, and the zombies from Plants Vs Zombies would be no different from the zombies in the Castlevania series. As for why the Castlevania II: Simon's Quest version of Simon Belmont was picked for this comic, that's because the quote "What A Horrible Night To Have A Curse" originated from that game, and the comic's title is a Castlevania-meets-Plants Vs Zombies-themed variation of that iconic quote. Of course he would say "What A Horrible Night To Have Zombies On The Lawn" if the zombies from Plants Vs Zombies say "The Zombies Are Coming!"

Sir Arthur: Speaking of retro heroes who fight against zombies, Sir Arthur is a knight in flimsy armour who keeps getting stripped to his underwear when his armour breaks apart. He too would say "What A Horrible Night To Have Zombies On The Lawn" if the zombies from Plants Vs Zombies say "The Zombies Are Coming!" because the armour will break if Sir Arthur were to bump into a zombie in the Ghosts'n Goblins series.

Luigi: Mario's cowardly brother is afraid of ghosts. This means Luigi being afraid of zombies would be no different either. He would definitely say "What A Horrible Night To Have Zombies On The Lawn" if the zombies from Plants Vs Zombies say "The Zombies Are Coming!"

Peppino Spaghetti: This pizza chef definitely does not want zombies anywhere near his pizzeria. He would scream "What A Horrible Night To Have Zombies On The Lawn!" if the zombies were to announce their arrival...

Wile E Coyote: This coyote has endured megatons of misfortune in The Road Runner Show. If the zombies from Plants Vs Zombies were to come for Wile E Coyote's brains, he would hold a sign the reads "What A Horrible Night To Have Zombies On The Lawn."

Aqua (Konosuba): This pathetic goddess would be screaming "Kazuma! KAZUMA!!!!! Help Meeeee!!!!! What A Horrible Night To Have Zombies On The Lawn!!!!!" if the zombies were to say "The Zombies Are Coming!" Then again, her purification powers would have been the bane of the zombies if her cowardice did not get in her way...

Doremi Harukaze: As if being unlucky wasn't bad enough, if Doremi Harukaze was dropped into the Plants Vs Zombies neighbourhood, she would definitely be running around screaming "What A Horrible Night To Have Zombies On The Lawn!!!" if the zombies were to announce their arrival.

Purple Star: She's a mermaid princess. She's a magical girl. But if there was one thing Purple Star from Rainbow Bubblegem was not prepared for, it's taking down the zombies from the Plants Vs Zombies series. She would scream "What A Horrible Night To Have Zombies On The Lawn!" if the zombies announced their arrival. But she would probably prove her prowess as a magical girl, even if she had never faced the zombies from Plants Vs Zombies before.

TL;DR, Wile E Coyote, Aqua and Doremi Harukaze would go into panic stations if they had an encounter with the zombies from Plants Vs Zombies.

On a related note, Happy 40th Anniversary, Castlevania! Have at thee, zombies!

Creative Freedom Glory Days

To DeviantArt User GoddessPrincessLulu and Pixiv User ARTFONPRO, you are not alone in missing the glory days of creative freedom. I also miss the glory days of creative freedom as well.

For those wondering who these characters are, the dark-skinned girl is Princess Lulu, the princess persona of DeviantArt User GoddessPrincessLulu, and the girl wearing glasses is AF-Tan, an OC conceived by Pixiv User ARTFONPRO. Both of them are at the brick wall from Peanuts talking about how much they miss the glory days of creative freedom.

The Final Tour

Today marks the beginning of the end for Mario Kart Tour because it's the day Mario Kart Tour's 183rd and final tour begins.

If there is anything that will be missed when Mario Kart Tour shuts down, it will be the game resurrecting the unused Dokan Course from Mario Kart DS as Piranha Plant Pipeline, Kamek becoming a playable character in a Mario Kart game after being omitted from Mario Kart 64, some wacky new costumes that could just end up in the Super Smash Bros series if given the chance, and the opportunity for the Mario characters and the Miis to visit real-world locations. For the Mario characters, it's like revisiting various locations from Mario is Missing!, Mario's Time Machine and the Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games series. For the Miis, it's more like revisiting certain Hot Spots in Wii Party's Globe Trot. Of the 14 real-world cities visited by anyone from the Mario Kart Tour roster, Bangkok was the only city that was not visited by both Mario characters and Miis before Mario Kart Tour (Singapore, where I hail from, is a Hot Spot in Wii Party's Globe Trot).

Even after Mario Kart Tour drives off into the sunset on 30 September 2026, Nintendo did not rule out the possibility of content from Mario Kart Tour making a reappearance in later games. We've already got several costumes from Mario Kart Tour in Mario Kart World. Nabbit, Charging Chuck, Monty Mole and Hammer Bro are playable in Mario Kart World. And let's not forget the content found in the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Booster Course Pass, meaning elements of Mario Kart Tour will live on after the game hits the end of the road.

So long, Mario Kart Tour, and thanks for all the postcards from fourteen real-world cities!

Update: Mario Kart Tour ceased operations at 2:00 PM Singapore Time (SGT). However, Past Tours' Stats will be viewable on 1st of October, 2026.

GameCube Silver Anniversary

25 years ago, Nintendo released a cube-shaped console that defined portability. We are talking about the GameCube, the console that gave us Luigi's Mansion, Super Smash Bros Melee, Pikmin, Super Mario Sunshine, The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, Dance Dance Revolution Mario Mix, F-Zero GX and Mario Kart Double Dash.

The reason this comic has a silver GameCube in an orange background is because a quarter-century anniversary is called a silver anniversary, while the orange background is a reference to the Japan-only orange GameCube. And this comic marks the 25th Anniversary of the Nintendo GameCube's release in Japan.

Happy 25th Anniversary, Nintendo GameCube! May your legacy live on in the Nintendo Switch 2's official GameCube emulator via the Nintendo Classics series!

Remembering The Twin Towers

Credits to The Spriters Resource User Superjustinbros for the background of the New York stage from the Arcade version of City Connection.

It's been 25 years since the worst terrorist attack in history. The World Trade Center Twin Towers collapsed because of a dastardly terrorist attack against New York City that was drafted and planned in Germany, the loser who started World War 2. That's why the two towers of the old World Trade Center in the New York level from the Arcade version of Jaleco's City Connection wants Jaleco fans to remember it.

Revenge of Human Slop

Author's Note: All of these "low quality" artworks are all made by humans. That's why this comic is about the revenge of human slop.

In light of Cara getting hit by unlawful scraping, it's time for Conservatives, Centrists and Progressives to unite against AI slop, and for human slop to exact its revenge against AI slop. So here are some so-called "human slop" images that I came up with to attack AI slop.

For those wondering what Cara is, it's a DeviantArt alternative that aims to take back the glory days of Pre-2010 DeviantArt by giving it all the functionalities of ArtStation and a strong Anti-AI stance.

The Atari 2600 version of Pac-Man was often considered a terrible game that contributed to the 1983 North American Video Game Crash. This disgrace in the eyes of Namco would have been called a "kusoge" in Namco's home country of Japan. However, it's considered human slop because it was coded by human programmers.

Without the Programmable Character Generator chip, the Sharp MZ-700 version of Mappy would have been considered human slop. However, in defense of its programmer GAMEROMAN, its very accurate gameplay was the reason Namco decided to publish it.

The Bronze Dagger from RuneScape has often been considered one of the weakest weapons in the game. Even then, this weak weapon is still superior compared to AI slop because it was designed by humans.

ACME products are mostly duds, and the dart bombs that Wile E Coyote deployed in The Road Runner Show episode "Lickety-Splat" are no exception. Back in 1961, they may have foreshadowed the dark future of exploder drone warfare that we are living in now, but that was in a time long before the existence of AI, meaning ACME's duds are considered "human slop".

Famiclone multicarts, especially those 99999-in-1 games, are full of knockoffs and broken ROM Hacks that were not coded by AI, meaning these bootleg products are obviously human slop.

While the Fair Use symbol would have been considered ugly depending on perspective, it was still created by human artists.

Inspired by a fellow Cara artist, I had this idea to come up with a picture where the brown wedge of human slop attacked the vicious circle of AI slop.

The Anti-AI logo has become a universal symbol of the #NoAI campaign, and it looks dull and drab. Even then, human slop was meant to be dull and drab, and the Anti-AI logo meets this criteria.

TL;DR, if there was anything that Conservatives, Centrists and Progressives can agree on, they would all agree that AI slop should go die in a ditch. So let's all reject AI slop and embrace human slop.

Cruiser Girls

Characters wearing the SNSD Genie-era navy officer uniforms, from left to right:

Row 1: Sakura Kinomoto (Cardcaptor Sakura), Rit (Rod Land, Soldam), Silviana (Silviana).

Row 2: Romi (Catch! Teenieping), Gradriel (Princess Crown), Gwendolyn (Odin Sphere).

I'm very sure these girls look great wearing the Girls Generation Genie-era navy officer uniforms, although Gradriel and Gwendolyn would prefer to keep their crowns instead.

Remembering Tim Curry

As if Dolly Parton's obituary wasn't bad enough, Tim Curry's obituary came like a hypersonic missile.

Tim Curry was best known for being the scary clown Pennywise in the 1990 horror film IT. Other notable films starring Tim Curry included The Rocky Horror Picture Show, Home Alone 2 and Muppet Treasure Island. Tim Curry was also known for being Premier Anatoly Cherdenko in Command and Conquer Red Alert 3, which had one of the most iconic video game quotes of all time, and it went like this:

"I'm escaping to the one place that hasn't been corrupted by capitalism!... SPACE!!!!!"

Farewell, Tim Curry. Dasvidaniya.

In Memory of Dolly Parton

As if things weren't depressing enough with all of the turmoil that's going on right now, the death of Dolly Parton was a gut punch to morale that came too soon. She was 80 and in failing health prior to her death, but still, it was a gut punch that came all too soon.

Rest in Peace, Dolly Parton. Your legacy will live on in your country music, Dollywood and the Imagination Library.

Arcade X Console (Sega Beach Edition)

Credits to The Spriters Resource Users Ragey and Ultimecia for the Arcade and Sega Genesis/Mega Drive versions of Tyris Flare from Golden Axe respectively.

If there was one setting where Tyris Flare's bikini attire makes sense, it has to be the beach setting. Alternatively, a swimming pool setting would also be another place where Tyris Flare's bikini attire makes sense. After all, bikinis are designed for getting wet.

Golden Axe © Sega.

Sun, Sand, Sea, Shame, and Squeals

The beach setting would be very fitting for the scantily-clad female enemies from the Arcade version of Jaleco's The Astyanax. Especially when they start running off screaming and squealing away after their tops fall off, which has, unfortunately, been a major cliche in beach settings...

Awkward Fashion

If there is anything awkward about MapleStory, it has to be the apparel. The Shivermail worn by female Archers make them look like they are wearing a bra with the right skin colour. Otherwise, it's just a camisole. The Fairy Tops worn by female Magicians look like strapless bras with see-through detached sleeves, and the Fairy Skirts are see-through skirts that would have allowed anyone to see the wearer's panties if not for the skirt's loincloth covering the panty area. And don't even get started on the Cash Shop costumes...

The Real Truth Behind The Cruel World

Have you ever wondered why this world is so cruel? The real truth? This is a world held captive by Satan the Demon King. This tyrant has deceived Adam and Eve into eating the forbidden fruit that God told them not to eat, caused all of the misery that Job had to go through in the Book of Job, tempted Jesus Christ in the Wilderness (unsuccessfully), masterminded the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, and is responsible for the worst tyrants and terrorists known to the history of mankind.

But all of the Demon King's tyranny will come crashing down when Jesus Christ returns to condemn this tyrant to a prison sentence in the Bottomless Pit for 1000 years. So much for humanity having to endure years of cruelty...

Grey Areas

The Grey Areas. A neutral zone that is supposedly neutral, but in reality is not a neutral zone. God, however, has imposed terms and conditions that are black and white, meaning he wants us to stay out of the grey areas.

In light of third-party archivists getting deplatformed for violating copyright regulations that are getting stricter, this comic about the grey areas could become more relevant in the future. If you want to truly live, stay out of the grey areas.

Humvee Colours

The humble Humvee. A scout vehicle deployed by several countries that made appearances in many films and video games, with the Command and Conquer series being one of them.

In this comic, the Humvees appear in different colours, namely Desert Brown, Olive Drab, and Four Shades of Green (Olive Drab, Leaf Green, Forest Green and Dark Olive Green).

The Flag of Singapore (If it was made of RuneScape Gems)

I'm very sure Singapore's RuneScape fans have more creative ways to celebrate National Day than making a flag of Singapore using any red and white RuneScape items...

Gemstone art by itself is already expensive enough in both the real world and the MMORPGs. But making a flag with rubies and diamonds would have cost a fortune...

On a related note, Happy National Day, folks!

Engine Upgrade

Remember those times when the Republic of Singapore Air Force (RSAF) had A-4 Skyhawks? These aircraft were, unfortunately, prone to hull losses due to multiple causes, both in combat and outside of combat. In the RSAF's case, all A-4 Skyhawk hull losses were non-combat-related cases. But the hull losses were so bad that a retrofitting campaign was needed. So ST Engineering got to work by procuring a replacement for the Curtiss-Wright J65 engines. They found a very good replacement in the form of the General Electric GE-F404-100D, which was basically a non-afterburner version of the engines found on the F/A-18 Hornet. The RSAF never recorded a single A-4 Skyhawk hull loss after the 1988 retrofitting campaign as a result, and the A-4 Skyhawk was eventually retired from RSAF service in 2012.

Watersports Beachwear

Yes, Blondette. The one-piece swimsuit you are wearing for water activities is one of the best one-piece swimsuits because it's based on the Google Noto Color Emoji version of the one-piece swimsuit emoji design.

Disappearing Magic Skirt

Magical Girl Anime heroines wear skirted leotards that makes them look like they are wearing minidresses. But we do not know about this until we see them transform. In this comic, however, the Magical Girl told her magic skirt to disappear, and it disappeared into magic sparkles, revealing that she had been wearing a leotard all along.

Armor Piercing Stab 2

Wielders of swords stabbing Sir Arthur's flimsy armor from Ghosts'n Goblins: Gradriel (Princess Crown), Yuko Asou (Valis), Lucia (The Wing of Madoola), Tyris Flare (Golden Axe).

Remember the comic about the armor-piercing stab? Well, the fragile armor worn by Sir Arthur from the Ghosts'n Goblins series turned out to be weaker than the bronze platebody from RuneScape. No wonder the swords wielded by Gradriel, Yuko, Lucia and Tyris Flare could pierce through the armor with just one stab. One must wonder what kind of low quality steel was used to make the armor worn by Sir Arthur in the Ghosts'n Goblins series...

Monochrome Confusion

If there were any games that would not be suitable for monochrome handhelds such as the Game Boy and the WonderSwan, it had to be the Puyo Puyo series. Shape recognition can be challenging for some gamers, especially in Puyo Puyo—a game that combine Tetris and Connect Four, where the Puyo disappear when four or more of the same color connect. Therefore, the monochrome versions of Puyo Puyo games had an unexpected increase in difficulty as a result of Puyo Puyo being a game where the Puyo only vanish if four or more of the same color connect to each other.

Corporatism's Most Fatal Mistake

In light of the anti-consumer business practices of Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo, the boycott campaigns against these three companies have intensified. Unfortunately, corporatism does not listen to the will of the people because corporatism is more than the evil twin of capitalism. Corporatism is actually the feudalism that has dominated the Middle Ages updated for the Industrial Age and beyond.

From the discontinuation of disc-based gaming, to the closure of Digital Download Stores, to the crackdown on digital piracy, corporatism is only pushing a turbulent Earth ever closer to the terrifying nightmare scenario of Matthew 24:22, which is only made possible through the existence of nuclear weapons. In other words, it will be Game Over for the corrupt system that is represented by the statue of Daniel 2 and the 4th monster of Daniel 7, along with the corporatism that imposed a cruel hierarchy, and the greed of corporatism. When all of them are finally eliminated, justice will prevail at last.

Stomp The Mischief-Maker

Characters stomping the Mischievous Lemming from Lemmings Touch: Tyris Flare (Golden Axe), Ryo Sakazaki (The King of Fighters), Tam (Rod Land, Soldam), Deedlit (Record of Lodoss War).

In the light of Sony's controversial decision to discontinue disc-based gaming in 2028 and close the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita Digital Stores in 2027, this comic was conceived as a retaliatory strike against Sony's bad decisions. That's why the Mischievous Lemmings from Lemmings Touch are getting their backs stomped by Tyris Flare, Ryo Sakazaki, Tam and Deedlit. Not only is this a revenge attack against the Mischievous Lemmings for all the level failures caused by these miscreants entering the Exit in Lemmings Touch, it's also a revenge attack against Sony's bad decisions as well since Sony owns the rights to the Lemmings series. Therefore, it makes sense for the gamers to vent their collective anger against Sony's villains.

Miyamoto-Free Gaming Zone

If gamers wish to reject Nintendo as well as opponents of Nintendo (Sega, Sony, Microsoft) that were praised and respected by Super Mario Bros creator Shigeru Miyamoto, here are some video game platforms that gamers who dislike Shigeru Miyamoto can move to.

Vectrex: A vector display-based video game console that did not have any ports of Nintendo games at all. While the Vectrex is remembered for being a commercial failure, its port of Namco's Pole Position is definitely one of the best games for this platform.

NEC TurboGrafx-16/PC-Engine: Need a true 16-Bit alternative to the Nintendo-Sega rivalry? NEC conceived that answer with the TurboGrafx-16/PC-Engine. It did not have Mario or Sonic, but it had Bomberman, Pac-Land, Raiden, Splatterhouse, all 4 Valis games, various Bonk games, Cotton, Magical Chase, Castlevania: Rondo of Blood, Valkyrie no Densetsu, a couple of Gradius games, Lemmings and and many more. Surprisingly enough, the NEC PC-Engine outsold the Sega Mega Drive in Japan. Ironically enough, Sega released some of their games for the NEC PC-Engine such as Golden Axe, After Burner II, Columns, a couple of Puyo Puyo games, Shinobi, Space Harrier and Bonanza Bros.

Casio Loopy: A console marketed to girls. The Casio Loopy was more like a printer that printed custom stickers, and it predated the Game Boy Printer by 3 years. It's definitely Nintendo-free and Miyamoto-free territory because not a single game that was published by Nintendo, Sega, Sony or Microsoft was officially ported over to the Casio Loopy.

Epoch Super Cassette Vision: The successor to the Epoch Cassette Vision, the Super Cassette Vision had a mediocre game library which included Namco games such as Mappy, Sky Kid and Pole Position II. Unfortunately, this rival of the Famicom ended up being promptly forgotten. At least it was available in France, meaning this console was not Japan-only. And it does not have any ports of Nintendo games or Sega games at all.

Atari Jaguar: Atari's last console is definitely one of the most underrated consoles. Unlike the Atari 2600, the Atari 5200, the Atari 7800, or even the Atari 8-Bit Computers, the Atari Jaguar has absolutely no ports of Nintendo games whatsoever. It has Rayman, Raiden and Doom, and if you like fanservice ladies, you can always go with Thundra from Kasumi Ninja and Volcana from Ultra Vortek.

SNK Neo Geo: The home of the King of Fighters series, the Samurai Shodown series, the Metal Slug series, Waku Waku 7, some Puzzle Bobble games and some Bomberman games. No games from Nintendo or Sega on this arcade cabinet.

Panasonic 3DO: It may have been a commercial failure, but it had some great games such as Gex, Doom, Lemmings, Super Street Fighter II Turbo, a Suchie-Pai game and even SNK's Samurai Shodown. The 3DO, however, lacked ports of games published by Nintendo, Sega or Sony.

TL;DR: If you are a gamer who dislikes Shigeru Miyamoto, these seven video game consoles are among the best options right now, even if all of them are discontinued products.

P.S. The versions of Lemmings and Doom on any of these platforms are from the pre-Sony and pre-Microsoft period.

Swimies Under Bloomers

In PuyOlympics, Arle wears a pair of panty-shaped bloomers during most of the game's sporting events. When it comes to swimming, she wears a two-piece swimsuit that's designed for competition swimming. If Arle had to change into her swimming costume, she would have said that she had been wearing her bikini swimies underneath her buruma after taking off her panty-shaped buruma.

Pong Solitaire

If there was one game with a concept so terrible that it does not even deserve to exist, it has to be Pong Solitaire. Why was it terrible? Because the only way to lose in Pong Solitaire is to play the game. This game is the very definition of a game that is unwinnable by design.

Boarding Denial

Author's Note: All copyrights for the characters in this comic go to their respective owners.

Ever wondered what happens when our favourite characters from Famicom games try to board a flight, only to get denied from boarding by airport security? Well, that is exactly what would happen to Spelunker, Wynn and Bomberman.

In Spelunker, bombs are needed to get rid of rocks that block the titular character's way. Atlantis no Nazo has Wynn sometimes throwing bombs to open doors, reveal hidden doors and defeat enemies. Bomberman is all about placing bombs to eliminate enemies and clear walls to find the exit. With all that said, the main protagonists of these three Famicom games are going to be in serious trouble with airport security because their bombs are not allowed on board the plane for obvious reasons.

Buruma League

Here is my OC Blondette doing Peach's sassy pose from Super Mario Strikers. Blondette is wearing a crop top from Super Mario Strikers with the panty-shaped buruma. Looks like crop tops that expose the midriff go well with the panty-shaped bloomers.

Tetris Sombrero

There was once a GIF about the T-Tetromino on the internet. It was called "Tetris Sombrero". However, it disappeared shortly after it was uploaded. So I decided to conceive this comic about the "Tetris Sombrero" as a tribute to that lost GIF about a T-Tetromino forming a bigger T-Tetromino.

Panty Wetting Denial

Author's Note: My apologies for the delay in uploading the Bikini Day 80th Anniversary Tribute. Time constraints have pushed me seven days behind schedule.

Remember the comics about pouring water through a funnel into the panties? While forehead coin into funnel is a great way to wet a panty, it is, however, not an appropriate way to do so. Even the bikini panty thinks that stuffing a funnel into a panty and pouring water through it is downright inappropriate.

Damage Control Panic Stations

It's been one week since Sony made their controversial announcement about the discontinuation of disc-based gaming in 2028 and the closure of the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita Digital Stores. The announcement was so controversial that made gamers call for a boycott of Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo. As a result of the boycott of Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo, gamers decided to side with Valve, Epic Games and GOG.com, believing that these digital storefronts still believe in putting customers first.

Hospitality Heroes

Author's Note: All copyrights for the characters in this comic go to their respective owners.

If the Hospitality Industry needs excellent employee choices, they could have BurgerTime's Peter Pepper as the Head Chef of any reputable hotel, Hammerin' Harry doing the maintenance, and Nikki the Swapnote Mii as the receptionist.

Artifact Destruction

Not all powerful artifacts are good. Some of these artifacts are so evil that they need to be smashed to a million pieces, melted in a river of lava, or wished out of existence. Here are the artifacts so evil that they were better off destroyed for good:

The One Ring: This gold ring grants anyone who wears it invisibility. However, if Sauron can see your whereabouts if you are wearing the One Ring, the invisibility effects are not worth it. You're better off drinking an Invisibility Potion or wearing an Invisibility Cloak. Thankfully, Smeagol accidentally destroyed this evil gold ring by taking it with him to his lava-filled grave, which resulted in Sauron dying for good.

The Shikon Jewel: The heroes and villains of Inuyasha have often competed over who will be the first to successfully reassemble this Sacred Jewel. However, nearing the end of Inuyasha: The Final Act, the Shikon Jewel was revealed to be the true mastermind behind Naraku's villainy. So what was the solution? Kagome wished for the Shikon Jewel to disappear forever, which obliterated the Shikon Jewel and obliterated Naraku once and for all.

The Soulstones: If there was any legitimate reason for us to hate fallen angels, Izual's betrayal was the reason the Prime Evils were able to corrupt the soulstones that imprisoned them. Even worse still, Baal inserted his soulstone into the Worldstone, effectively corrupting it. On top of that, the soulstones that trapped the Prime Evils were created from shards of the Worldstone. And it gets worse with the Black Soulstone, because unlike the other soulstones, this one was not made from the shards of the Worldstone. Malthael sought to steal this soulstone for more nefarious purposes. However, Malthael was defeated, his body obliterated, and the Black Soulstone was destroyed, effectively thwarting his nefarious plans to eradicate all of humanity.

Therefore, if an artifact is too evil for anyone to lay their hands on or even belong in a museum, destroying it by whatever means possible would be a risk that's worth taking.

Stealth Cruiser

Can we all agree that the US Navy's Zumwalt-class Destroyers should have been classified as cruisers instead? Because their 155mm cannons that are being replaced with VLS hypersonic missile launchers are the kind of cannons that would have been classified as cruiser guns.

On a related note, Happy 4th of July to my American fans! Especially when it's the 250th Anniversary of the American Declaration of Independence!
