Silly Steffi, that would only be the case if Ben snapped his neck. It takes a couple minutes to smother/choke soemone to death, unless you crush their windpipe.
…To be honest, I’m ready for them to chuck the furry costumes. Anyone else? Ready for no more furry Ben and Steffi? I’d include 42 in that, but she doesn’t actually look like a furry. And she wears a kimono well.
A properly done choke cuts off blood, as opposed to air, causes the brain to shut the body down. Doesn’t do lasting damage if released after they go out.
Would be hard to execute a tight choke wearing baggy sleeves like that, though.
Seriously, those sleeves would make it pretty tricky!
That being said, I’ve had that choke pulled on me, and if you’re not expecting it (like, say, it’s a three-year-old girl who has no right to know how to do it properly or to have the strength to pull it off) unconsciousness can come out of nowhere…that was some goofing off that, had I been conscious enough, could have ended up directing some serious natural talent! I’ll leave that up to her parents, though. Aunts don’t do martial arts training XD
I’m not convinced that there actually was a plan, apart from turning up and seeing what opportunities might arise. But now that all their opponents are out, I suppose the plan might be to quickly scan the office for evidence of wrongdoing, then beat a hasty retreat clutching said evidence before any of the opponents can recover. Or maybe the opponents could be tied up, if anyone has thought to conceal some rope under their costume.
Only, now that I’ve suggested these things, it’s probably a safe bet that they won’t come to pass. I don’t have a good track record when it comes to guessing the future course of a webcomic.
The only problem with sleeper holds is, once you release them and the blood resumes coursing through the brain, they wake back up very quickly. I’ve done it to a drunken friend who got too rowdy, but he woke back up within 5 seconds of me releasing him.
Lol. Good job Ben putting cowman to sleep. Its about time this comic is put to sleep too :0 just like Garfield.
Goddammit Roy XD

Yeah. At this point he’s only got minor brain damage!
The brain damage predates Ben’s sleeper hold, though. :p
Typo: your forgot one ‘s’ in “unconscious”.
woops! Fixed!
He’s got a very minor case of serious brain damage. Hopefully.
Yeah, like we know you’re awesome Ben, but you’re not THAT badass…
Aw. He’s kind of cute when he’s sleeping.
Sleeper hold, nice
Makes me think of Princess Bride. Nice one Ben! Took all three of them out!
I can never find my own pulse, and Ben can find it on giant cow people.
It’s easy to find it in the neck. . . if it’s there.
Wait, you mean the pulse or the neck?
Neck, obviously. It’s just so hard to find. The pulse, on the other hand, is just a part of basic anatomy.
I absolutely. love the last panel. the blank mask is a great endcap
I agree. Lots of character just captured in a few panels. ^_^
Of course not …. he’s clearly a bison
Tipped the cowman. Nice.
Properly done, a choke is painless without doing any real or lasting damage.
Properly done, that is.

Nope, I’m good, quite enjoying things as they are.
hmm only thing running through my mind is if cowman still eats burgers
Lorenda does. http://missmab.com/Cast/lorenda.php
Gotta admit, i love the fact that after Steffi asks him, is when Ben decides to actually make sure he didnt kill cowman.

Woaw, 42′s face is creepy in situations like these.
Also, good going Ben. At least you know what your doing. Or not.
Well… I guess we call the police now? What was the plan? Huh…
Also, I’m lovin that lil’ smile 42′s got on in panel 1. Apparently violent headlocks make her happy…
