Poor nat, I feel sorry for him so far..
Well I totally didn’t see Ben doing that. o.O
Well, that was unexpected
And this was exactly what I was about to say!
BIIIIIIIITCH got pwned
That’s a bit of a shocking surprise.
I see what you did there… and I quite approve.
Not too smart, Ben. Perhaps you should have tased the muscle first. Then again, that would have risked Natrix pulling a gun from under the desk (what shady character doesn’t keep a gun under their desk?). Lose/lose situation, really.
Hmm…I guess I should probably not point out that that isn’t actually a Taser?
It is a stun gun, but is not a Taser.
Sorry, I’ll go back to enjoying the comic now
That never made sense to me. Why is the melee version called a stun gun while the ranged version called a taser? Tasers even look like guns, which makes it even worse.
taser stands for “Thomas A. Swift’s Electric Rifle.”
I think you mean ‘stunner’, not ‘stun gun’, as the taser can be referred to as a stun gun (it being a projectile-type weapon after all).
Not a taser, really, but Steffi probably thinks it is
Terrible conversation anyway… [/HanSolo]
NateZappedFirst!
This!
Is!
SPARTA!
Jean Luc, I need your face palm!

@The_Rippy_One Make it so!
lol well what can you not get on the internet these days?
I’m sometimes tempted to say “intelligent conversation”…
For the most part, I heartily second that opinion. Unfortunately, I find it’s usually missing in reality as well, though. ^^;
Seconded.
Good comics, though!
Surprised so many people were not expecting Ben to take advantage of fluffy costume to have some concealed tricks ready.
Especially considering it was foreshadowed in 272. Chekhov’s Gun, er, Jacket.
YAAAAAY Natrix got tased. Now to deal with big guy and get them both out of the club without being noticed. So… easy part’s over.
My thoughts exactly.
They planned ahead, and that probably involved 42 getting blueprints of the place. They’re probably going out through a backdoor of some sort from there.
Natrix, maybe, but that side of beef? No way are they getting him out quietly – I’m not sure what 42′s carrying capacity is, but even if she can manage the lift, there is no gainly way of moving a mass that much bigger (by volume). Also, backdoors are a way to avoid being seen “by guests.” It may or may not help avoid the staff…
Ben seems to be on top of things, I’m pretty sure he’s got an exit strategy.
Aww, I liked Nate.
I like how you can spot Steffi’s hair and headphones around the hood on occasion.
it is a very nice touch. Good continuity of details.
Of course Natrix uses Firefox.
It’s not the Firefox logo; it’s the “fuzzy navel” logo. Go back to page 274.
…Oh $#!+, I just realized, Ben is screwed– Electric attacks aren’t very effective on Grass types.
except when the electric attack paralyzes the grass type
Let’s hope Natrix doesn’t flip a heads when he tries to attack!
Oh look! Natrix is evolving!
Or hope he doesn’t have the Shed Skin ability that removes paralysis.
Y’know, if anyone at the bar called the cops, they really could legitimately charge Ben with premeditated assault.
I’m pretty sure that’s outweighed by the felony charges he’s technically up for already. Helping a wanted vigilante escape the authorities among other things.
Suddenly I’m seeing Ben dressed as a Tiger from Monster Rancher.
And WHERE did you get THE INTERNET?
We still don’t know if he’s really an OK guy or not…
Also Panel 2 Cube your Trenches is showing.
Natrix’s expression in the second panel all surprised-like, as well as Steffi’s floppy hood, are superbly done.
Ben, Ben, Ben…. And you were sounding so smart in the last comic… That’s a bull there Ben, not a duck.
Dang! Someone else got to this joke first! XD
Ben really fills the protector role well. No touchie the Steffi! >:(
@cube: Nope he’s not a fighter guy, just a creepy guy.
I would have lolled so hard if there was a Duck standing there.
The Demonic Duck is on his union break.
Which is why we were saddled with a load of bull.
I assume the duck will be making his appearance in the next strip.
Imagine the first panel by itself and devoid of context. That is all.
Sniper Wolf
*snicker*
Parleying like a true gamer. If he doesn’t shoot first, someone else might!
Leaf on the doorknob in panel 4. Mario reference?
Hm, swords in panel 4, wonder if they’ll get used?
This has probably been asked before, but I’m curious where Benzene got the USAF jacket from.
This whole situation here feels like something straight out of Shadowrun. Meeting a client in a furry/anthro club, pulling a concealed taser in a “business meeting”, being punched by a big dude with horns, these are all things that I’ve actually done in different sessions of Shadowrun. If there were also a psychopath mage “accidentally” burning the place down, the picture would be perfect.
Careful – wishful thinking like that could bring that nut-job Gear to the party.
Y’know, I just realized something. We’ve got a bunch of villains with animal DNA. There’s a tiger chick, a bull man, and a snake guy. This is like that one episode of Batman Beyond. “Splicers” I think it was called.
…They’re totally gonna turn Steffi into a ravenous bat creature, aren’t they?
Goodness, Ben, you so sly.
Good use of the element of surprise. Ben would be doomed against Bullman if he didn’t have the taser. He’s got enough skill to avoid and counter the guy, but not enough gusto to pull off a major blow on him. Just keep on your toes ’til you find that opening!
Weeeell, that escalated quickly.
