Looks like you're not invincible after all

Talk about today's strip, or anything about the comic in general. You can also talk about any of the characters... but don't expect a response. They're FICTIONAL, you guys... sheesh. :)

Isn't your house non-smoking, Greg? You should ask him to step outside to finish his ciggarrette.

[quote="Greg Dean";p="460243"]I'd have picked apart the spelling of "invincible" first, though. ^^[/quote]
That looked more like a simple typo than an actual mistake in grammar or word choice.

If Tony couldn't be beaten by who knows how many copies of himself, I doubt these punks could do anything.

Isn't Greg on some sort of Real Life = real life comics sort of thing, or at least more based on situations that would happen, and less on things like mechs and time travel...?

...Hmmmm...

Food for thought. :D

Or maybe he's already given up the real life comics = real life stuff, or I hope so ^^
But I'm sure Tony has already something prepared for that kind of situation... It's not like they are bound to this time/planet after all :roll:

Don't make me repost what I said in the other thread. And stop trying to second guess me. :)

Hold the phone.

Didn't Greg recently make a claim saying he was leading towards more 'realistic' twists in the comic? But how can recent events of FBI investigation, based upon unrealistic backstory, be a possible way of making his world MORE realistic?

Making Tony a convicted felon...with technology beyond the keen of most national superpowers...makes him more realistic? Or is this just a creative way to get rid of him?

Zengyro has it right.

Realistic is great. I enjoy it. But I also feel that I do have a lot of this mythos I've built up over the years, and it would be pointless to ignore that as well. But from my perspective, and only my perspective, I'm killing two birds with one stone. 1) I'm giving in to the drive I have to create fun fiction, and 2) I'm handling some situations I didn't care for, IN-COMIC. I think you'll enjoy what I've got planned, in any case.

Geeze.

when I posted the "real life <=> Real Life" thing, and mentioned this story, it was meant to be played for humor.

I wasn't taking offense, Fuggle. I was just explaining what's up. :) Mostly, I was answering Shroom's question in an indirect way. :P
