Ah, thermite.  Backup plan for creative violence since 1895.

Roger: What are you doing with all this paint?
Girii: And Beer? I thought you couldn't get drunk.
Jacob: You never know...maybe I like the taste of... Uraguayan... 'Yerba Duro'? Is this even beer?
Girii: You said aluminum cans.
Jacob: Yeah, I did. Aluminum plus Iron Oxide from the paint makes thermite. Got to be prepared.
Roger: Wait -- thermite? Is G.U.S. going to bomb these slums, or are you going to blow them up?
Jacob: First one, then the other, probably. Make sure you get it all on camera.
Roger: Of course I will. I get...everything.

    Tungsten would do even better. Pity they are not massproducing paint with tungsten oxide in future.

    If anyone forgot that we’re also updating Thursday, be sure to hit the ‘Previous’ button to catch the page you missed!

  3. Siirenias says:

    That last line seemed unexpectedly profound.

  4. Remus Shepherd says:

    Oh, and for reference, ‘Yerba Duro’ is meant to translate to ‘Hard Yerba’ — an alcoholic brew of Yerba Mate Tea. I only mention this because Pope Francis’ love of yerba is in the news *today*.

    I love it when real life and comic stories align…as long as they don’t get too close to each other.
