And thus endth the epic plotline in which Superhero Girl did battle with her Evil Future Self. And lo, the Prime Minster was covered with kittens, which almost hid the fact that he was possibly a robot.
... I couldn't help myself. Had to make one more kitty joke. It was just kinda weird, tho: for some reason the PM's cat fancy kept popping up while I was drawing this plotline. First he adopted a kitten, then posted pictures of that kitten on Google+, seducing members of the American Media into calling him (the PM, not the cat) adorable ... it's weird. It's like the US isn't paying any attention to Canada at all, because our PM is most certainly not adorable.
But his cat addiction certainly is amusing. :D
Oh, and I was supposed to have something big to announce, but it's not ready yet... will post next week, I think. Hang tight! :)
We had George "The Shrub" Bush as our President for eight years. Trust me when I say, in comparison, your prime minister is adorable. (I think it's against the law for our Presidents to prefer cats to dogs. Perhaps it's the whole "James Bond" movies that had the evil corporatist holding a feline on his lap that made cats into persona non grata in the White House.)
ReplyDeleteSo. It's obvious then that Supervillain Girl was in fact Superhero Girl from the future in disguise doing "dastardly deeds" to remind her past self why being a superhero was so wonderful while in fact never harming anyone or doing any actual illegalities. What a cunning plot, SHG. My hat's off to you and your future self.
Well I hope that since Spectacle is a rich socialite that she's going to pay for fixing Superhero girl's wall. Which she broke. I'm just saying.
ReplyDeleteDogs are social, loyal beings by nature, unlike cats. When you give food to a dog, he thinks it´s because you are his God; when you give food to a cat, he thinks it´s because HE is your God.
ReplyDeleteI am impressed by the way you got superhero girl out of that conundrum, well done !
ReplyDeleteI am enjoying your comics. I'm going to post this comment here, as well as last week, because I want you to see it.
ReplyDeleteI have a question. If Supervillian Girl is just Superhero Girl in the future, then Supervillian Girl should have remembered Superhero Girl's trick and should not have been taken by surprise...
Unless, Supervillian Girl wasn't really Superhero Girl at all, but in fact a shape-changing alien that transformed into Superhero Girl, somehow gained amnesia, and came to believe that she was actually Superhero Girl! It was really the alien that travelled into the past.
Please use this idea! Every superhero story must have some retcon. Do it!

It's very possible, Reg! Who knows how time travel works. ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks to you my next door neighbour thinks I'm a nutter, I've spent most of the afternoon reading your comics laughing like a lunatic!
ReplyDeleteThe above was a compliment not a complaint by the way. I love your work thanks.
ReplyDeleteReginald, I theorize that maybe she's learned her lesson as a result of having to punch herself out and maybe she really _won't_ become a superhero.
ReplyDeleteIf so, then this is like Terminator time travel as opposed to Back to the Future time travel.
Or if you want to get really deep geek, it's like Primer.
Nah, there are infinite realities and by traveling back in time Supervillian Girl merely splintered this one so that her past self is aware of a possible future. I would theorize that there are further realities where the fight was won by Supervillian Girl, ended in stalemate, or each of a thousand minor variations that broke off creating there own universes, all of which reside solely in Faiths mind.
ReplyDeleteYeah, what Anonymous said! Infinite realities!
ReplyDeleteStory checks out. XD
ReplyDeleteIs that last panel a double entendre in reference to the consistent behavior of many politicians at a certain age?
