Why do i hear John Pinette in my head…”NO BUFFET FOR YOU! YOU ORDER A LA CARTE!”
By Andrew Mon Jul 24th 2017 at 10:52 pm
I thought of John Pinettte too, only it was “YOU GO NOW! YOU HERE FOUR HOUR! WHY YOU HERE FOUR HOUR?! YOU NO COME HERE ANYMORE!”

Maybe that’s claws plan. Send them to 24 hour all you can eat then when they get kicked out for eating too much have para legal sue for false advertising.

I like the way Joey himself looks dubious about this. That kid is no dummy! ^_^

Hmm… think it is time for Claw to invest in a farm?
…
No, really. If Joey really eats a lot, barring some of the typical little kid hang-ups with food, it is probably the most cost effective way to feed him. Whether Claw decides to stay (sort of) reformed or return to his (more) villainous ways, if he can secure a nice, remote farm as a summer home, it doubles a nice place to lay low (and pass of henchmen as farmhands). Gotta love the wordplay as well; see the origins of the word “villain”. 😉

Oh, I so love this idea. It works in so many ways, and I speak as someone who helps manage my own family’s ranch. Farm work is hard, unending and in many ways very rewarding. In Claw’s case, such an operation could serve as cost-cutting, punishment detail, therapy and relaxation in a single package for both minions and family.

Indeed, indeed. It might be a chance to explore some of the “pre”-Claw aspects of the family as well, what happened to Diane while she was gone (she was in Iowa), and a lot of comics tend to forget about flyover country, or at least focus on the coasts. That last bit could be a nice trope to subvert. Either the villains intentionally keep a low profile in such areas or the local specifics are unappealing. I mean, a lot of these areas are going to lack the kind of big scores of the coasts and have high gun ownership. Even if it is a corner where it is only the local farmer or hunting enthusiast, it would make the stupid-cape-deaths of <i?The Incredibles almost (but not quite) seem dignified by comparison. XD

And you just creates Monsanto in their universe.

Fantastic comic.
By Sidekick Matt Mon Jul 24th 2017 at 6:37 pm
Ha! I love the title: “Foraging”
By Bracey Mon Jul 24th 2017 at 6:38 pm
Claw will earn supervillain/public menace status once again and quite quickly as Joey leaves a trail of bankrupt buffet restaurants in his wake.

Maybe Claw should reuse this method with other precious metals like silver, platinum, and bronze. Or better yet, start using it for jewels like diamonds. You can never have enough diamonds!

Or cut out the middleman and just use the replicator to just duplicate everything they need.
By Poetically Psychotic Fri Jan 19th 2018 at 12:35 pm
Problem is the replicator is broken.
