Put down that fiddle topsider because Rome is about to burn!

“…sick, discourteous, little beast.” – Someone has a Word of the Day Calendar on their desk.

Considering what Wally’s been through…“discourteous” seems inevitable.

Excellent expression in panel 3. Aaron is a great artist.

When a Topsider says “Oh God” be afraid. Be very afraid.

Wally: “Okay, it’s time to leave.” Announcer: And another community has been destroyed, thanks to the Power Puff Cardoodles.

The “ghost” in the system?

Recognizing that pattern in his visuals, now Terrance realizes what’s going on in the Topsider community, why everything is dissolving into chaos. Fortunately (even though he doesn’t realize that yet) he’s now immune to its effects. Maybe he along with Wally & Co. can purge “Eye” from the system before the community is completely destroyed.

Looking at Wally’s expression in Panel Three, I hope Wally allows that one punch due to the stress that Terrance is under, being newly transformed and everything else that is going on. They’ve all got to cooperate with each other in order to survive and can work out their differences later.

I get “little” and “beast” but “discourteous”? Should Wally have said please before saving his sanity and life?

He believed that Wally was the source of all this….after all he was the star in Cardoodles so this had to be all his fault. Remember Tuffy wanted a piece of that fame. Terrence now realizes it’s something else causing this….and it’s in the system. There be hell to pay trying to cover this up with central command. It makes hiding all that gate experiment stuff look like child’s play. I wonder how soon they will send the killer drones to wipe this outpost clean…..

What’s it going to do, link them to another dimension? OK, using a hivemind facebook with your firewall hacked down and all ’ports unsecured is a really bad idea normally.

So, this ties in to how Wally’s eyes looked on March 9th, which maybe explains the “mask” comment?

Finally! It’s dawning on the Topsider that they’re in deep kimchee. The monster is in their system.

I said this a few panels ago. If the topsider leaves the suit on, he’s looking through the suit video feed—which is what infected him in the first place. Mr. New Anthro can still see the “map overlay”— but he’s still coherent. Maybe changing has made him resistant to the map influence…or his previous “infection” pre-mutation has made him resistant?

When I first saw panel 3, I thought, for just a split second, that Wally looked scared, then I realized he was just p!ssed.

Ooh, the biosuit might still be on, but the mask slipped!

You bet it is! It’s allll over the system babe.

I expect a “Duhhhh!” bit at this point, Wally saw the patterns both in Eden and the Toothbrush world.

Wally could use some help. Maybe the elephant could sit on the topsider!

Terrance didn’t take well Wally’s unrequested help

Maybe there’s a way to let the suit go “offline”?

I would take Wally’s suggestion, Terrence – lose the suit, pronto!

Those in the biosuits normally are not anthro and the pattern effects them where the anthros are not physiological effected. I think our person in the too big suit will not be effected like the rest Of course with that an 100 dollars you can get a small coffee at starrugs.

Time to take off the suit.

Was that smack really necessary?
