I don't think it's "collecting" so much as "homeless guys wandering around where there's lots of old junk", but I'm almost positive that there's some trashspotting link lying in wait.


That was actually one of my first thoughts as well.

This strip didn't exactly jive with me either.  I think it's something with the dialouge moreso than the art?  Possibly the way that Phillipe's innocent jabber completely fucks with the creepy mood Onstad is trying to set?  I dunno.

I don't quite buy that the Swamp Dudes are all innocent.  Mostly because I don't actually think that they're blind.  Not sure why though.  Maybe because Pigman seemed to communicate with NoFace via pointing in the last strip.

Cynicar - your avatar's hair looks cockish.

Isn't there an unwritten rule that people deformed beyond a certain point are either evil toadies or (more often in the super-deformed spectrum) good guys? Think mutant toys in Toy Story. Hunchback of Notre Dame, The Elephant Man. It's totally an archetype, a terrible face and a heart of gold.

Anyhow, these particularly deformed creatures don't seem shallow enough to be pure good, but I don't think they're evil.

Why does everyone keep referring back to the GOF as if it raised the bar? It dragged on, like the Stoned Ray sequence. It lacked good action and substance during the actual fight.

I like to think of the collectors are like the collectors in the second Gaiman Sandman story arc.

Watch out for their eyes.

Or your skin.  Or people wearing leather ties.

So it's satire, is it?  Well that changes everything!

The Elephant Man.

I think this is a case of it happening the other way around: We assume the elephant man was a nice guy *because* he was super-deformed. Dude was probably a dick, kept making everyone listen to his bible fan fiction.

Somehow the tall one doesn't work as the corinthian for me but the fat one on the wheelchair for some reason reminds me of dog soup.

Are you perchance referring to its ears?  Or the spattering on the top of its head?
