In cold fact, a financial crisis is one of the kindest and mildest sorts of crisis a civilization can have. Compared to typical Italian catastrophes like wars, epidemics, earthquakes, volcanoes, endemic political collapse…a financial crisis is a problem for schoolchildren.

Chapter 13, Page 22

I never know what sound effects to use.  Is ‘kwock’ appropriate there?  I dunno.  Decided to go with ‘kwock’, but I can change it later if anyone has a better suggestion.  🙂

So that looks like three out of four Brahmin down.  That fourth guy still thinks he has a chance, though…

    In Panel 1 the weapon is in his left hand, in Panel 2 in his right… Great page nonetheless!

    Yeah… the judges are going to mark him down
    on style points there… the knee should come up
    -under- the testicles for maximum ‘KWOCK’.

    Oh well, he’ll still probably take home the gold.

    They’re going to have to make some SERIOUS design changes to those guys by the time Jacob’s done.
    If they can’t handle ONE a.w.o.l Genocide man, they have ZERO hope against the entire project
    Especially with Kevin being willing to use nukes

    Wait………..
    Did he just shoot that guy thru the nostril straight into his brain?
    Bloody hell, OUCH!

    So they are designed to reproduce. Do they come in female?

    Interesting how 70-year-old biotech beats the latest breakthroughs, like how I can enjoy a good book after all the e-readers’ batteries have died.

    Good catch. And in the previous panel it looks like he shot the Brahmin in the ear. Even if they are immune to GM neurotoxin, screwing with the inner ear messes up balance.

    Your name copied over as some odd characters. What font is that?
