Chapter 8: Page 6 - Early Riser

Posted by / in Comic / 46 comments

Morning everybody. Probably shouldn’t say HAPPY Monday, given the subject matter ;)

Opinion question: the next page is actually a two page spread, thus took twice the time to produce. If I post it on just one day like a single page, that will cut into the buffer. So. Should I just post it on Monday, and skip this Thursday’s page update (I’d post something else hilarious Seba drew, don’t worry), or should I cut it into two pages and post them one at a time and then post how it looks as a 2 page spread?

Let me know what you think about that, and about Tenzin on this page :)

Seba comments on the production of this page are too spoilery to share ;P

  • Keith Schiffner

    I’ll answer with a question…which works better?

    • Hmm…probably just posting it on Monday, with a link to a high res copy.

      • Adriano

        I’m according to leave that update for monday. Of course it’s very frustrating as i want to see some more Tenzin, but I guess we all need to do sacrifices ;)

  • Honza Prchal

    Welcome happy morning age to age shall say! - In keeping with the words of that hymn, I like the singular, user-ease of a one page view.

  • Matt [in Middletown]

    Grizzly Tenzin, mountain man.

  • Adriano

    I find this monday VERY happy since we can see again our heroe Tenzin the Brave ! :D

    Tenzin look still super fit and he seems to continue to train, no matter his wounds.

    Will “What about the fallen men, Captain ?” become the new “INDIRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA !!!” ? I’ll wait and see :D

    Nuuuuu no Seba’s input D’:
    I want spoiler ! ;P

    Btw, where can we share ideas about political election of Death Bot ? (sad that Swiss elections are over, it was the 15th October)

    • Let’s just say that Tenzin does not always enjoy the amount of physical therapy necessary to keep him this fit.

      I’ll probably post about deathbot on Thursday.

      • Adriano

        Grumpy Tenzin is aleaysmy fav Tenzin :D

        Okay, good ! :D You’ll see my ideas thursday then :D

        • SlashyTheCow

          “Grumpy Tenzin”…

          Maybe more like “Chronically depressed, insomniac, PTSD Tenzin” ? That’s the vibe i’m getting right now :P

  • Cut it into two separate updates.

  • Adriano

    GOSH
    It looks like Tenzin just had a bad hangover xD
    “I shouldn’t have drink that much with Viktor… WAIT”

    • TOO SOON

      • Adriano

        LOOK I MADE AN EDIT DAN-SENPAI

        • NickDA

          That’s just evil….

          • Adriano

            No, that’s just too soon xD

          • Matt [in Middletown]

            Evil would be Tenzin talking to a Viktor sock puppet as he slaughters his next enemy.

          • NickDA

            Names his new rifle after fallen men… cold…

          • Matt [in Middletown]

            “Jorge wants to meet you.”
            “Who if Jorge?”
            *KNIFE!*

          • Adriano

            New Minervan tv-show : “Meet Jorge”, starring Tenzin Dorje and his fallen men

          • Matt [in Middletown]

            Airs daily at ten.

        • You’re the best kind of evil.

          • Adriano

            thank you <3

  • If you cut the next page it would actually be an interesting experiment for the site (because of the way you’d have to cut it to make it work)

  • Yikes. A callback to the day he woke up and everything went wrong(er). Putting that wheelchair next to his training equipment makes it a really powerful image.

  • Ian Brown

    i think the third option of two separate then together sounds good personally. and dam he’s gotten used to sitting up with one leg. i’d assume it would be difficult, with how his center of gravity must be Fubar’d at this point.

  • Dusty Coyote

    <- this happens next

    • Hehehe, your yoga pose, I’d forgotten :D This happened on a more positive morning than this one ;)

      • Dusty Coyote

        I call lies on this whole thing. We all know Tenzin doesnt sleep, he just waits.

        • Minerva’s very own Chuck Norris.

          • Dusty Coyote

            I was thinking a Male Agent May, but I suppose he could only be as good as Charles now. Especially since he’s down two appendages.

          • Adriano

            “Tenzin doesn’t get killed by Deathbot, he is the one who kills Deathbot.”

  • Dusty Coyote

    Are you having a good ‘Mourning’ Tenzin?

    • *alarms sound* “We have a level 4 pun, I repeat, a live 4 pun. This is not a drill. Man your stations!”

      • Dusty Coyote

        Just when Nick thought I had stopped too…

        • NickDA

          …. that’s a paddlin….

          • Dusty Coyote

            Fixed

          • NickDA

            Much better… 5 points.

  • Mik Czarnecki

    Tenzin seems to be in amazing shape after being through numerous surgeries and in a coma for quite a bit :)

    • Dusty Coyote

      Should have seen him before all of that.

    • Let’s just say his physical therapy is rather…intense. Electrifyingly so.

      • Chris

        Answered my question before my question. Well done.

    • actually I kinda wanted to make a point. Daniel told here that they kept his muscles in shape with electrodes, but after he woke up he isnt taking any help at all, his arm and leg are doing double work to take him out of the bed, and to do just anything

      • The still have to do some electrode (more complicated sci-fi-y stuff) and physical therapy for the muscles he no longer uses (like all the muscles to move his right arm and left leg). Otherwise his right pectoral would be atrophying.

        Why might they care to keep those muscles nice, you ask?

        ¯_(ツ)_/¯

          Well, that definitely doesn’t imply any kind of cybernetics will soon be in play. At all, in any way. No foreshadowing there.
