I’ve also seen those cocoons from the train, but I guess I was safe in there.
So instead of hilariously shouting “hay!” when I drive by fields of these, I need to start shouting “Eldritch horror!” Got it.
I love these tiny hidden callbacks you sometimes hide in your last panel!
There is a game with this plot of you driving a car around while anomalies “live” around you like wild animals, called Pacific Drive.
I highly recommend it, especially if you liked Subnautica but don’t mind that it plays like a car-based roguelite.
Oh yeah, I picked it up for PS5. And well, I really liked the setting, but I found the survival/crafting mechanics to be pretty annoying. It also didn’t help that the menus on console were terrible to navigate.
Great. I like how you brought up all of these points.
I love how you captured the thrill of driving down slopes in your comic! It reminds me of my time playing with slope run—the adrenaline rush is just as real. What inspired this particular comic?
It’s so scary red monster. He loves cars, does he?
Ha, this one got me. The timing on the last panel is perfect – simple setup and a big payoff. These always make my morning coffee a little better, keep them coming!
Ha, that punchline really lands. Simple and sharp – got a good laugh out of this one. Keep them coming!
I loved the humor in “Car!”—it really resonates with those of us who’ve faced absurd traffic situations. Reminds me of a similar feeling I had while playing at https://sloperun2.io, where unpredictable challenges keep you on your toes!
Thank you for this delightful comic! It cleverly captures the absurdity of automotive life. It’s fascinating how such humor can reflect broader societal issues around our dependence on cars. Discovering related resources like https://sloperun2.io truly enriches the conversation!
