I wrote that joke about five minutes after I created Joey. I really don’t know why I waited this long to do it.

Nothing here that wasn’t unexpected or unpredictable, though still kinda dark
Only question I have (and it’s hardly a big one) is: What denomination of Christianity is that Hench-Priest apart of?
I know it’s not the Jehovah’s Witnesses, cause they don’t have Priests, just Elders, and they don’t have uniforms, they just wear suits. But even then, there’s still a lot of denominations

Probably either Catholic or Baptist.

Yeah I don’t think anyone else does the collars.

Episcopalians do too, since they are what the Anglican Church is the US became after Independence.

I can only say that he isn’t Orthodox, no beard and different robes, not Coptic he does not appear to come from Egypt,and almost certainly Catholic. Might be protestant.

Randomly making a connection, I say he is whatever denomination the Gospel Projects, Inc is. Which are the guys who own the “Tee Ball” trademark in the US (as opposed to “T-Ball”, which to my understanding is trademarked by the T-Ball USA Association, or “Tee-Ball” which is a generic term and not trademarkable).

As of a 2005 study, there are over 33,000 distinct denominations of Christianity in the world.
That’s… a lot of division for supposedly all worshiping the same 1st century Jewish Rabbi by a made-up name he himself would have been unable to pronounce.

Why- why do these people even still work for him? What does he do with them? He’s not even a super villain any more!
By Gianluca Burdon Fri Jun 29th 2018 at 6:02 am
1) He still has a drug operation that he needs them to run
2) He’s still rich and can afford to pay them
3) The ones with were likely the senor staff before Anna took the reins
4) Having servants is nice and Claw likes nice things

5. They’re henchmen, so they’ve got to be working for someone.
Really, Claw is a pretty good employer, by the standard of villains…

6. They seem to have become a complete community unto themselves that exists for it’s own sake these days. I note that they have their own public library that Claw could be ordered out of, their own clergy and churches, and even have senior citizens. All you would need is daycare centers, schools and banks and basically Claw’s organization would have gone from being a villain group to being a town run as Claw’s personal fiefdom. It wouldn’t surprise me if they have. ^_^

Henchman forgot to tell Joey that “Right down the middle” wasn’t “Right down the middle of my body. I am picturing the impact and cauterisation style wound that happened to Blain in Predator.
By Gianluca Burdon Fri Jun 29th 2018 at 12:03 pm
Or Joey just has bad aim
By valencrow Fri Jun 29th 2018 at 8:18 pm
I wanna think the funeral is totally unrelated. Like Joey’s henchcoach is just fine (maybe new robot arm) and the funeral is for the really old henchman that runs the union.
By justalurker Fri Jun 29th 2018 at 11:24 pm
I think we all know a ball thrown by joey is gonna take more than an arm. I wouldnt be surprised if that coffin was empty
By Valencrow Sat Jun 30th 2018 at 8:41 pm
I know but a part of me doesn’t want to see a man that brave die like that.
By Iron Ed Sun Jul 1st 2018 at 12:42 am
If it will make you feel better…
You could think of him as more “lacking in good sense” rather than “brave”. 😉
