I’m crying Distressed this is so funny
Like I’m ded hahaha and DEX is ducking ignoring him yeS

soothing is definitely what I was going for lol :')

It’s the soft grayscale
and Dex’s continuing inability to enjoy manti’s sunny nihilism

I know it's been totes confirmed he's looking at Wal-mart sales, but I do like to imagine what other silly things Manticore could potentially be looking at. Maybe he has a secret hobby that nobody would expect him to have. Maybe he's a hardcore model train enthusiast >.>
Doesn't matter in the long run I guess since he's gonna be deadicore once Val gets to him. G-get it? Cos his name is Manticore and Val's gonna kill his ass?.... I'll show myself out.

MODEL TRAIN ENTHUSIAST KHGHGHDKGH
OH GOD THAT'S SO GOOD, I FUCKING WISH DUDE--
wait I can technically make that happen, hoo boy *rubs hands together*
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It would be sweet, if he wasn't a deranged killer =w="
I'm just imagining him living out his train-based dream of tying someone to a train track like a theatrical villain >.>

It may be the laziest part of the page, but that simply drawing with the insanely large pissed off mouth is downright adorable.
Oh, and Manti...uhh...you might want to barricade your door. For practice in case a rather large, fit woman comes a knock knock knocking.
Hypothetically speaking, of course.

Dex: Manticore! You're in danger!
Manticore: *flips magazine page* Mmhmm...oh! Wal-Mart has shoes on sale.
Dex: MANTICORE!!

"I need new shoes, my last ones got dirty from kicking some punk's teeth in. anyway what were you saying?"

"Oh Dex! I was so hoping you'd call me for a beer! I owe you one."
"... Wait no..."
"I don't care about Val."
"Okay but I only drink whisky!"
With Kota being like "Whaaaaaat??" with is priceless face.

hahaha
wait, is dex the one who only drinks whiskey?? what an odd boy lol

Because of Jack Daniels xD

god your expressions are so flippin' good, I love Dex's face in the last panel too!!
But holy shit i am fuckin CRYIN over getting to see Manti again, and to see that he's just all chill and reading his fuckin HORTICULTURAL MAGAZINE, IM FUCKIN DYINGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG OH GOD I MISSED HIM SO MUCH
also u probably meant the scribble on Manti's face to be a shadow but I immediately read it as a blush and so clearly Manti's haughty/terse tone is 'cuz he was really excited when Dex called him only to be let down when he realized Dex wasn't asking him out on a date anyway hi leave me and my headcanons alone ok bye;;;;;;
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
it's not a horticultural magazine
it's the indoor plants edition of better homes and gardens
you know what I really like that headcanon omg
like he was somehow hoping dex would call for a date or smth but of course it has to be business ugh
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
don't lie to me, I know Manti's too into his gardening not to be flat-out subscribed to one if not several magazines dedicated exclusively to horticulture and/or flower arranging, like c'mon how could he not~
...though lmao now that just has me thinking about a scenario where, like, Dex does somehow end up on a date with Manti and he's completely terrified the entire time that Manti's just gonna take him somewhere to string him up and mutilate him but no, Manti just takes him to the gardening center because he just REALLY wants Dex's opinion on which clivia plant will best suit his home collection~
That or--ooohhhh how romantic!--Manti excitedly takes Dex to the botanical gardens to see the corpse flower in bloom-!!!
...hi I'm just running away with my shipping headcanons i'm sorry you have to put up with me roflmao
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
and then he strings him up over the corpse flower and mutilates him
man this gardening headcanon of yours is getting a little out of hand tho
*hastily covers up concept sketches of manticore's apartment full of plants*
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
*SNORT* Yeah don't even tell me this is "my" headcanon, this was your idea ok
I guess it's true, Manti couldn't resist the irony of pulling off a corpse joke with the corpse flower roflmao, but who knows, maybe he's in awe!!! Maybe it's one of his life goals to go see a blooming corpse flower!!! I know that's one of my life goals!!! he'll just stand there in awe and be so ~inspired~!! (and Dex will just be beside him, gagging at the smell roflmao)

where does one go to see a corpse flower
what is the corpse flower's native habitat even
serious question, I am 99% sure you actually know this already
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
actually I didn't even know for sure, I just guessed vaguely south asian and apparently it's from Sumatra! But I just know it's a big deal when botanical gardens that have a corpse flower get 'em to bloom and people come from all over to see it and I kinda want to do that too so... totally legit thing for Manti to want to do right
*snort* I love the idea that Manti's in the middle of torturing Dex someone but then he checks the news and he's like "OH SHIT THE CORPSE FLOWER AT THE BOTANICAL GARDEN IS BLOOMING, I'M OUT, SEE YOU GUYS LATER"
....ok wait random aside but I just went through this list: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_… and hooboy the names people give their corpse flowers is really a journey let me tell you
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
boy, you were not kidding
who on earth decided "BOB,too" was an acceptable name
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
"carrion my wayward son" is the one that slays me
but also i found it very amusing that both Dennis and Phoebe were names given to corpse flowers roflmaooooo

god damn, does that count as a spoiler :')

wait wHAT
WHAT DOES THAT MEAN, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Manticore just reading a magazine as Dex freaks out is beautiful. I'm in love with this chill-ass fucking murderer

I want that phrase inscribed on my fucking grave dude, that's beautiful
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Lol. That Kota face. I know everyone is saying it, but that is priceless. XD
Also, geez, Manti, you're pretty chill about this news. Don't you realize that Val is part bloodhound and can probably track you down really easily? But anyways, now that Dex made his call, what exactly is his next course of action? Looking forward to the next page.

Kota's "WHAT" face needs to be a reaction image omg XD
Oh yeah, also Manticore you just stay where you are. No kick ass Amazon of a woman isn't gonna bust your door down and destroy you, Nope!
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Yay! Manticore's back! ...I mean oh no... XD
I love Kota's "WHAT" face
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
I mean
If Manticore just wants to sit around while an angry Val's on the loose who am I to stop him
Also I agree with everyone else, Kota's "wHAT" face is one of the best moments in this comic to date

I am enjoying keeping that poor kid in the dark a little too much, lmao
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
can we all just appreciate Kota's face on panel two for a moment
look at it
just fkn look at it
but yo hey manti you might wanna get your butt outta that chair and start-a-runnin' 'cause Val is comin' for ya B,)

a man needs some time to cool off after getting brutally tortured, you know 8)
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
I'm...I'm sorry. I just had to stare at Kota's "what" face for ten minutes and laugh my head off.
So much emotion in that simplicity. So much offended logic.
I can't...I can't even...
Non-moralists just don't understand: Bad guys are God's children, too TT-TT. They need love too!
It's embarrassing, but I wasn't actually being sarcastic. Let's...not send me on an adventure, shall we.
