Not just the dad. The whole strip is drawn in the style… Which is lovely, because Bill Watterson himself enjoyed spoofing classic comics on his own work.
Clay, I just wanna say that, besides the already noticeable dopamine rush of getting an email notification for another of your strips, you add on top of that the joy of an homage to one of my most beloved comics… Thank you! 😄
OK I get what you’re saying now. Mrs. Watanabe in the comics is not Shiunji’s mom. She is a replacement for Shiunji’s real mom, who was taxidermied and carried off by wild dogs after this strip (#106).
It’s good to see writers who can keep track of the little continuity details like this, especially after so many years, and many, many depraved strips.
I’ve always been drawn to your series. The premise of a man turning his deceased wife into a sex doll is simultaneously disturbing and darkly humorous.
For some reason, I first thought of Dr. Lovetalk. I think she would have a lot of potential.
Show her as a dol wild child running around outdoors playing by herself and her parents wishing she spent more time inside and would talk to other people once in awhile.
Probably the creepiest on would be Kenta’s mom. Maybe have a strip called Kenta’s Horny Grama, or Rumiko’s Horny Mom, where it turns out that she was the target of a lustful incest fantasy as well.
Finally, for some real fun, have Left Handed Mike and Michelle turn out to be cousins with the blind twins who keep knocking each other out in an attempt to get some incest nookie. Maybe they all realized that their feelings aren’t considered okay and found different unhealthy ways to cope.
This particular strip is a redraw of an older strip that got deleted from tumblr when it turned puritanical. There’s another strip with Mike and Mark getting the redraw treatment, and I’m halfway through drawing a new strip with the madame x (or in this case Mademoiselle X). A Rumiko strip is in the works as well, but she has normal parents in this one.
…Could we get so ghost or general afterlife antics of Yuko Ishida? For her number 1 fan, me. LOL
Remembering how we got those funny brief heaven antics near the beginning of the series crying over what was happening to her body on Earth.
Nowadays? She could be in ghostly purgatory unable to get over her angst even still… Or in hell for how far she went for revenge, or even still in Heaven but just being the angstiest soul in heaven with her later rough and tumble eyepatch design.
Sorry if I’m weird I just always really liked her as an angsty, often even suicidal teen myself back in the day and loving her edgy revenge arc. I adore her genuinely haha.
The Dad somehow reminds me of the father in the Calvin & Hobbes Comics. 😀

I think this specific comic is in the style of C&H

Only two years.
Does this mean that 155 is a flashback…?
This is Shinji as a elementary student.

Perfect. 😀
hot-damn, another one… Life is good.
Oo an update! Love that your strips are still as quality as when I read them as a teen <3
Now I wonder what sort of childhood the other characters have had.
Well, it is part 1, so here’s hoping.

HA! I recognized the kid fast!
Careful Clay! You really might end up going to hell at this rate! HEHEHE!
Oh! And thanks for the update!
Yep, that might be a little disturbing for a kid, or most adults.
Good god! No notes
Notes??
A newer Shiunji post is fun to see…

There is another strip I did way back about Ishida becoming a flesh eating zombie but I haven’t ported it into the main continuity yet.
