    Interesting how Shelly says the “the things [Monica's] involved in” as if she’s separated from it all. Her demon conscience thingie should pop out of the boiler room just about now. Actually, I am curious if Monica could see her.

    Thank you Pablo! Monica Croft made me chuckle (and she look stunning in that too lol)

    I also noted the bandaid. It’s probably been mentioned before, I guess she’s just a klutz rather than suffering from dull razors when she shaves her legs? :)

        I can’t imagine why she’d be clumsy. It’s not like her center of gravity is any diffe-

          Must be because she’s right-handed and right-eyed–so it’s hard to reach there with the razor, and to see it once it’s there?

    The government, try to weaponize Bud, Brandi, or even worse… Jin?

    Yeah. That’d go SO well for the government. Hopefully after losing a few army bases they’d get the message and leave ‘em alone.

    Oh, wait, what am I saying? When a government/military fails to control something, they go to plan B. “Nuke it all”

          By “caliber,” of course, I refer to both the size of their gun barrels and the high quality of their characters… Two meanings… caliber… it’s a homonym… Forget it.

      My mom says short ladies with big boobs need large feet so they don’t tip over. Of course, being short, big boobed, and with large feet I’ve learned that’s not true. The top portion makes for wonky balance.

            And if the victim were female? Would it still be funny? Odd how that artist never, ever draws anything like that happening to a female. I guess that would be “wrong.”

            Still, in the future, if you are going to link to “guro” like that I would appreciate a warning. Thanks.

    Turkey’s done!

    All seriousness aside, used to be when you say “explorer” or “archeologist”, the first images that came up were magnifying glasses, notebooks, small brushes, and pith helmets. (why pith helmets? to pith in, of course!) Now, it’s bullwhips, fedoras (for exploras), or tight shirts and two pistols blazing. Although, if Monica was wearing her 8-ball shirt, that would be pin-up worthy.

    I’m reminded of an old Sluggy Freelnace storyline where the two main characters meet an ultra-short tempered/uber-violent Lara parody who doesn’t take kindly to their questioning the physics behind her being able to perform such acrobatic feats while being similarly proportioned… Such questions did lead to violence directed at them.
