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!

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!

Blast The Buddy

Explosives are one of the many types of weapons used in the mobile game Kick The Buddy, and the explosives in this comic such as Bomberman's bombs, the stick grenades from Metal Slug, and dynamites, whether as a single stick or as a bundle, are perfect for blasting Buddy, even if this stress relief method makes Buddy sad.

By the way, this is the Kick The Buddy: Forever version of Buddy in this comic.

World Cup Matches That May Never Happen

Author's Note: Austria Vs Australia was almost included in this comic about World Cup fantasy football, but the confusion levels were so ridiculous that it could not even be included as a bonus panel.

In the light of Austria being back in the World Cup after a 28-year exile, as well as Austria and Algeria facing off against each other in a grudge match 44 years in the making, here is a comic about World Cup match-ups Austria would like to have in future World Cups.

Austria Vs Peru: This grudge match from the 1936 Berlin Olympic Games stems from Peru ragequitting despite a 4-2 win against Austria. As a result of Peru withdrawing from the 1936 Olympic Games, Austria advanced via walkover.

Austria Vs Hungary: These two countries were once "Union State" partners in the same empire. When these two countries faced each other in Euro 2016, memes about Austria-Hungary popped up on the internet.

Austria Vs Poland: Between the Partitions of Poland in the 18th Century and the two occasions in Euro 2008 and Euro 2024 where Austria and Poland faced each other, there's going to be a lot of bad blood between both teams when the historical grievances get translated into soccer rivalry...

Unfortunately for fantasy football fans, these three match-ups featuring Austria may not happen in the World Cup because Austria, Peru, Hungary and Poland have inconsistent success rates in the World Cup Qualifiers. Not to mention that with the exception of Europe, the Draw does not allow two teams from the same continental confederation to be in the same group. Even then, Austria may not have the chance to face either Hungary or Poland in a scenario where Austria, Hungary and Poland qualified for the World Cup.

Bubsy The Strong

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

With the success of Bubsy 4D, Bubsy's Redemption Arc has finally been completed. Bubsy, who was once considered pathetic compared to the likes of Mario, Sonic, Crash Bandicoot, and even lesser known mascots like Klonoa and Ty the Tasmanian Tiger, has now been emboldened with more self-esteem. This can only mean one thing.

He can now curb-stomp some of the weakest characters in the history of pop culture. Most notably Awesome Possum, Glass Joe and Spelunker. Here's why:

Awesome Possum: His game was always inferior compared to the Sega Genesis version of Bubsy in Claws encounter of the Furred Kind, meaning Awesome Possum was always destined to lose to a loserly bobcat. Now that said bobcat finally completed his redemption arc, Awesome Possum is as good as curb-stomped.

Glass Joe: France's biggest loser needs no explanation whatsoever. It's now worse for him if he is up against post-redemption arc Bubsy...

Spelunker: He is the Weakest Action Hero for a good reason that does not need any introduction whatsoever. Even Bubsy is nowhere near that weak...

With all that said, we all have to thank Atari and Fabraz for the successful completion of Bubsy's Redemption Arc. This is all I can say about the bobcat's newfound success.

What could possibly go right?

Programmable Character Generator

There was a port of Pac-Man for the Sharp MZ-700. Its graphics were very blocky due to the Sharp MZ-700 not having a graphics processor. However, if an external Programmable Character Generator chip was installed to the PC, the graphics will appear more accurate to the original arcade game. It's a similar case with the MZ-700 port of Mappy. The characters and objects in the game were comprised of letters, numbers and basic shapes due to the MZ-700's lack of a graphics processor. The graphics would end up looking similar to the MSX version of Mappy if an external Programmable Character Generator chip was installed to the PC. In other words, the PCG board works wonders when it comes to making Sharp MZ-700 games appear similar to arcade or MSX games.

Bomberman Generations

Can you believe that there's more than one version of Bomberman for the MSX? You have the MSX port of the original Bomberman, the 3-D remake called "3-D Bomberman", and a port of the Famicom game called "Bomberman Special". 3-D Bomberman was destined to be obscure with a capital O because a 3-D Maze first-person Bomberman game unexpectedly ended up becoming a horror game instead, resulting in the game being Japan-only. As for the MSX game Bomberman Special, it was basically a budget version of the Famicom game specially programmed for the MSX. The game's ending was a disappointment because the Lode Runner reference was removed due to the existence of an MSX version of Lode Runner that was not made by Hudson Soft.

Now we get to the design of the Bomberman player character in both the MSX version of the original game and Bomberman Special. Shinichi Nakamoto found the overalls-clad man in the original Bomberman game to be uninspiring, and felt it would have made more sense if Bomberman's design was based on the enemies from the Famicom version of Lode Runner instead. And thus, the Bomberman we are all familiar with came into existence, and the rest, as they say, is history.

The Devastating Effects of Justice

As disappointing as it sounds, what if it turns out Ash Ketchum's original nemesis Gary Oak and everyone who has humiliated Ash throughout his 25-plus year journey in the Pokemon TV series were the personifications of the Japanese proverb "The nail that sticks out gets hammered down", and calling for the deaths of the humiliators in the name of justice for the underdog protagonist was a Communist conspiracy all along? What if it turns out the death of Gary Oak will not only cause Pallet Town to collapse into chaos as a result of his late father having no successor, but also cause the Miyamotoverse that Gary's namesake Shigeru Miyamoto conceived to perish? And when the Miyamotoverse dies, will Waluigi die with it, or lose his eternal underdog identity and end up with absolutely nothing? Who knows what nightmares will emerge if Gary Oak and all who have humiliated Ash throughout his entire journey were to all die in the name of justice?

Toast To A Better Future

Drinks featured in this comic about toasting to a brighter future, from left to right: Chocolate Milk, Strawberry Milk, Redcurrant Juice, Orange Juice, Green Apple and Grape Juice.

Today marks the 35th Anniversary of the day I came into this unkind world. However, the cruelty that we all have to endure on this fallen Earth will all be drowned by a tsunami of justice when this present Evil Age that has been cruel to many of us finally gets obliterated by Holy Light. And that day is fast approaching amid the current Persian Gulf Crisis.

Even then, let us not be too depressed. Instead, we should encourage each other by various methods of lifting up the mood of others. Suchie-Pai is toasting to a brighter future with various drinks such as chocolate milk, strawberry milk, redcurrant juice, orange juice, and green apple and grape juice in this comic, and we should do likewise no matter how low our morale is.

Thinking of other things other than other ladies 8

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

Remember when Kazuya Mishima was announced for the Super Smash Bros Ultimate's Fighters Pass DLC? Some people were questioning if Tekken Advance for the Game Boy Advance and Tekken Tag Tournament 2: Wii U Edition were even enough to get Kazuya in Smash in the first place. Of course, this was not true according to Tekken publisher Bandai Namco, who were involved in the production of Super Smash Bros Ultimate in the first place. It's because they wanted new characters with unique combat styles.

We all know that Dark Type Pokemon are weak against Fighting Type Pokemon. However, if we want a true hard counter to Dark Type Pokemon, there should be Light/Holy Type Pokemon. Unfortunately, Game Freak does not want to listen to Pokemon fans who want Light/Holy Type Pokemon in the games.

While the 5-inch gun is the biggest cannon that can be mounted on a frigate, most frigates have cannons that fire shells that are less than 120mm in diameter. Tanks, on the other hand, have guns that are bigger than those mounted on most frigates and even some destroyers. This may have been the result of missiles replacing big guns in the heavy bombardment role.

On 21 May 2026, Air France and Airbus had their 2023 acquittal overturned and were found guilty of manslaughter. As a result, both Air France and Airbus were fined €225000.

Cricket fans have always been obsessed about England Vs Australia courtesy of The Ashes. This sporting rivalry extended to Rugby via the Rugby World Cup. Soccer, however, is a very different story. England and Australia have yet to face each other in the Soccer World Cup. If they do, they will most likely be facing each other in the Group Stage.

Theoretically, The AH-64 Apache and the A-10 Thunderbolt could sink a Tarantul-class Corvette. The problem, however, would have to be the Tarantul-class corvette's anti-air defenses. Of course, both the Apache's Hellfire missiles and A-10's Maverick missiles would be powerful enough to disable the enemy's weapons. The killing blow, however, would have been the A-10's guided bombs because guided bombs have sunk enemy warships before.

Thinking of other things other than other ladies 7

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

It's good that Ferrari finally decided to jump on the Electric Vehicle bandwagon. The big problem, however, is that the Ferrari Luce is so expensive that you could buy two, or possibly three, Porsche Taycans, depending on which version of the Ferrari Luce you are thinking of purchasing.

Back in 2009, Alfa Romeo had a Space Invaders-themed commercial for the Alfa Romeo Mito. What role Taito played in the making of this commercial directed by Alex & Steffen, remains unknown, however.

I'm hoping that Capcom brings back the Car Breaker bonus level from Street Fighter 2 in a future Street Fighter 6 update, and when they do, I'm hoping that either the Pontiac Aztek or the Jaguar Type 00 becomes the target vehicle in Street Fighter 6's version of the Car Breaker bonus level because the Pontiac Aztek was indirectly responsible for the demise of Pontiac, and the Jaguar Type 00 is the product of Jaguar's dismal rebranding that result from their controversial "Copy Nothing" advertisement.

While Alfa Romeo's automobiles are more stylish, Opel's automobiles are superior due to their good quality reliability.

Even before the infamous "Copy Nothing" advertisement that tarnished Jaguar's reputation, Volvo was already far better than Jaguar due to Volvo having better quality reliability and safety standards.

Rare Gems from both the Bargain Bins and the Discount Sales

Remember the comics about the rare goodies you could find in the bargain bins and the discount sales? Well, the PlayStation 2 game Odin Sphere is definitely an uncommon item that can be found in both the bargain bin and the discount sale. Not to mention that the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita versions of its HD Remake Odin Sphere Leifthrasir are also uncommon items that can be found in both the bargain bin and the discount sale...

If this comic had a bonus panel, it would have someone saying "And now, for the three uncommon items you could find in both a bargain bin and a discount sale..." before he takes out a list and say "Oh My Mackerel! It's all Odin Sphere!"

Swimming Pool Matriarch Visual Gag Variations 10

Hey, folks. It's been a while since the previous Matriarch of the Swimming Pool visual gag variations comic. Hopefully this one will be my last Matriarch of the Swimming Pool visual gag variations comic due to creative burnout, family issues, and a world whose turmoil continues to grow.

In December 2025, the Yona of the Dawn manga finally reached its conclusion. The final chapter ended with Yona becoming Queen of Kouka. How's that for a happy ending?

Judging by her medical expertise, resourcefulness, analytical mindset and calm under pressure, Maomao from The Apothecary Diaries would fit well in the Mobile Army Surgical Hospital unit from the TV series M*A*S*H.

I'm very sure the Super Horn from Mario Kart 8 was the product of Professor Elvin Gadd and Dr Crygor being obsessed with ending the infamous Spiny Shell's reign of terror.

Despite their leftist leanings, Mastodon and Bluesky are blocked in Mainland China. Looks like the Communist regime in China is terrified of progressivism...

If there was one major commercial failure that was made by Samsung that surpassed the Nuon, it has to be the Samsung Galaxy Note 7. Before the Samsung Galaxy Note 7's infamous exploding batteries, the biggest failure made by Samsung was the Nuon, a DVD/game console platform that tried too hard to be both a DVD Player and a gaming console just like Sony's PlayStation 2, but ended up a commercial failure. The Samsung Galaxy Note 7, however, took commercial failure to a fiery new level. There were injuries and property damage due to the battery fires. Thankfully, no one died from this fiasco. There was, however, a huge recall due to the fires. As a result, battery safety was drastically improved.

China's aircraft carriers are struggling with combat readiness issues. Some analysts say that Mainland China will have no more aircraft carriers by the time they conquer Taiwan. This is not a good sign for the administration in Beijing because their ambitions for world domination will be shaken to its very foundations if they learn the truth about their aircraft carriers' lack of combat readiness...

Exploder Drone Targets 2

Another comic about exploder drone targets? Looks like the dart bombs that Wile E Coyote unleashed doesn't want to stop...

The Panzer 68 was often considered the worst MBT to enter military service by the Swiss Ministry of Defence. From multiple faults such as firing the cannon by switching on the heating system to insufficient protection against nuclear, biological and chemical warfare, The Panzer 68 had a bad reputation. An exploder drone would put this defective combat tank out of its misery.

But Switzerland wasn't the only country to come up with defective tanks. The British Chieftain Tank was a defective combat tank, though nowhere near as defective as the Panzer 68. It had poor mobility and dodgy reliability, and those flaws undermined its performance under the Iranian flag during the Iran-Iraq War. Therefore, exploder drones such as the dart bombs unleashed by Wile E Coyote are the best way to end this defective tank's misery.

Remember the sinking of the Tarantul-class corvette Ivanovets during the Russo-Ukrainian War? The Ukrainian Ministry of Defence confirmed that the enemy ship was sunk by unmanned exploder boats. However, this comic would have preferred to sink a Tarantul-class corvette using Wile E Coyote's dart bombs instead because they're smaller than the exploder boats deployed by Ukraine but they pack explosive power that punches above its weight. Not to mention that the Tarantul-class is virtually defenseless against air attacks...

In conclusion, these flawed military vehicles are not only legitimate targets for exploder drones, they are far more deserving of being on the receiving end of exploder drones than Wile E Coyote.

Exploder Drone Targets

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

Remember the needle-nosed dart bombs from The Road Runner Show episode "Lickety-Splat"? That episode predicted the exploder drones that are used in the Russo-Ukrainian War and the 2026 Persian Gulf Crisis. To be fair to Wile E Coyote, he did not deserved to get blasted by the exploder drones that he launched at Road Runner. That's why I came up with a list of characters that deserved to get blasted by the exploder drones that ruined Wile E Coyote in "Lickety-Splat".

Let's begin this list with a deceiver whose deceit ruined many girls' lives. Kyubey is so deceitful that he deserves to get blasted by the dart bombs far more than Wile E Coyote. If there was one good deed Wile E Coyote could do for us, it would be destroying Kyubey even if Kyubey's kind is an endless race...

Another good deed Wile E Coyote could do is to blast Sheep Man into scrap metal. Sheep Man was considered the most pathetic Robot Master Dr Wily could throw at Mega Man. At least Sheep Man could swap the heads of Scratch and Grounder with his Thunder Wool in the Death Battle episode that pitted Robotnik the Eggman against Dr Wily, but other than that...

Let's face it. If there was one character that proved that environmentalism has failed those who have dedicated their lives to preventing environmental degradation from destroying our world, it has to be Awesome Possum. He's worse than Bubsy. Therefore, he is more deserving of being on the receiving end of the dart bombs than Wile E Coyote.

With all that said, if anyone deserves to get targeted by exploder drones more than Wile E Coyote, it's Kyubey, Sheep Man and Awesome Possum.
