Do you condition? Beards must also be conditioned, else it would be like kissing a wire brush. Mustaches are less important to condition because no one ever kisses one of those
As a tall man with modest chest hair I have to wonder – did my previous girlfriends have this problem but just not say anything? Dangit – this one’s going to keep me up tonight. :(
I have it on good authority that like many pieces of body-squick this one is directly proportional to how much you chose to be in that position with the hugger.
No, I’m pretty sure her tube isn’t even hooked up to Arkherra. It’s probably going to use her as an energy source to power the rest of them or something.
I’m not convinced she’s jumping in. I suspect that she is too grounded in this reality to go on to the next. And while you can find hints of otherworldliness in HR (purple tie for example), Carol has always remained distinctly sepia…
…then again, she did have to hide a body for him. So maybe slipping into another realm isn’t such a bad idea afterall. ;-)
Yeah, but she’s not going anywhere near that tube, till she’s made a special trip to Victoria’s Secret. She’s got that “Am I wearing clean underwear?” Look on her face. XD
I think it’s a reference to Mushmouth from the old Fat Albert cartoon.
He had weird additional things in his words and Oh-bee-kay-bee was one of them. It’s called Ubbi Dubbi and discovered by Bill Cosby when trying to say “Okay” to a dentist after too much novacaine was injected into his mouth.
Heisenberg? I’m uncertain that’s what he’s after. With these nuclear powered test tubes, I’d say he’s trying to quantify Schrodinger’s experiments. From the cat’s point of view.
Whoa, getting crazy all up in here!
So when he says “Just kidding” does that mean everything he said he was kidding about, or just the part about Carol having to wait a bit? HR might actually want to allow her some time to settle her own Earthly issues before leaving the company unmanned. First issue: lock the door! That’s how you avoid more snoopers!
(People are already questioning where HR is so I’m thinking it won’t be long before we get another snooper.)
I suspect it doesn’t matter for HR. Not anymore. Worst case scenario, the snooper eventually brings the authorities and they yank his sepia body out of the tube. But I suspect that by that point, he’ll no longer need it.
Ohh, I didn’t think of that. I just assumed by the fact that they hang onto the Five’s bodies that they still somehow need them. But it would make sense if HR were crazy enough to come up with a way to give up the need for his body!
That could even mean if someone just shut the power down and all the generators to the whole thing, he would be okay; his soul (or consciousness or whatever) is uploaded already.
Until fairly recently, they were still holding out hope that they could get the Five out of Arkerra and return them to their normal Sepia lives. Plus, if knowledge of what happened to the Five ever got out, “abduction with crazy extenuating circumstances” is a substantially better criminal charge to be facing than “murder”.
“Delayed for 24 hours to test divine apotheosis”? The excuses that Arkerra uses to explain patching delays keep getting delayed are weirder and weirder….
But in all seriousness, how does HR plan to retain his memories, or powers..? Then again, we know nothing of how he’s inserting himself into the game world. What “character” he has created for himself.
Holy shit nuggets! HR is over-the-top batshit coocoo! And so much juicy material for memes!
He’s sure as shit obsessed, definitely lost his marbles.
Fifty pounds of crazy in a 5 pound bag. A veritable fountain of crazy.

Bah! Here: http://i62.tinypic.com/330qkie.jpg
Totally coo-coo for Cocoa Puffs.
No longer in possession of his faculties? Three fries short of a Happy Meal? Wacko?
“Oh, look – if I push this big red button on the tube he just got into will it electrocute him?”
Hugging people with naked torsos who are taller than you is one of the worst things imaginable.
…Just…chest hair slowly swirling against your face. It’s like a wire brush made of human being.
Oh dear.
My chest hair is quite soft, thank you very much.
Though I still wouldn’t want my boss to hug me in his underwear.
I think that is a nightmare for all employees of the corporate world.
Do you condition? Beards must also be conditioned, else it would be like kissing a wire brush. Mustaches are less important to condition because no one ever kisses one of those
Not people necessarily. A man’s chest, sure, but not a buxom woman.
Seconded like a freight train.
Messaging your grandmother that you want a hug. ;D
I have it on good authority that some people actually enjoy that.
Not with their batshit crazy boss, though.
I just hope he showered otherwise ewe.
Don’t worry about it too much…He’s stepping into the bathtub, even now.

It depends… how large are your nipples?
“O-bee-kay-bee?”
…Bees. My God.

BEADS.
What if the gods were bees?
Perfect setup for a Sting Operation.
He’s pretty damn unhinged, here.
He’s gonna jump in that tube and leave Carol to take the fall for the crud that he’s done.
Your avatar is a perfect compliment to your comment.
She really needs to insist on him using the other tube, so she can be the one to have the purple stuff for a change.
He’s going to jump in the tube and leave her to tidy up his clothes. God or insane he’s still a man :-)
it’s the tightly-whities that do it for me. :-)
Now’s your chance, Carol. Find something heavy and blunt, and put it to good use.
iykwim
No, wait till he’s tubed, then she’ll be one “transporter malfunction” away from owning the company.
Funny thing is, I’m not sure if he’s actually completely fucking bonkers or if he’s just attained a new level of meta-troll.
Yeah, I’m trying to figure out if he’s just gone loco, is so happy that he’s become immune to social awkwardness, or some combination of the two.
Maybe he’s genre-savvy. Social cues typically don’t apply to divine beings.
Source: Every religion ever.
Well, he has previously moonlighted as a troll god.
I’m not sure, either. Does Punk’D exist in Sepia World?
In case it isn’t clear who the final bosses will be…
HR => Tectonicus
Carol => Graiya
But we have heard tectonicus
That doesn’t mean he can’t take over Tectonicus. Although I think he’ll want to be even more powerful.
Wouldn’t actually HR be(come) the darkness thing of death that Order of Countless Limbs worships?
Jeez, I’m surprised how calm she is while being hugged by a naked William H Macy clone.
I’d be screaming, frankly.
If Frankie Muniz is the Superboy version of William H. Macy, is HR the Bizarro version?
As creepy as HR is being, I’m pretty sure that Carol will ultimately take him up on his offer.
I feel the same, but I also get the impression she’ll turn on him in the end.
Probably.
No, I’m pretty sure her tube isn’t even hooked up to Arkherra. It’s probably going to use her as an energy source to power the rest of them or something.
You are most likely correct in that.
I’m not convinced she’s jumping in. I suspect that she is too grounded in this reality to go on to the next. And while you can find hints of otherworldliness in HR (purple tie for example), Carol has always remained distinctly sepia…

I am having serious trouble figuring out what the “bee”s mean in O-bee-kay-bee.
I think it’s a reference to Mushmouth from the old Fat Albert cartoon.
He had weird additional things in his words and Oh-bee-kay-bee was one of them. It’s called Ubbi Dubbi and discovered by Bill Cosby when trying to say “Okay” to a dentist after too much novacaine was injected into his mouth.
I thought everyone knew that, lol
Carol’s eyes just look dead inside. This is the look of someone who bet on the wrong proverbial horse.
Welp….it definitely looks like HR has gone Walter White/Hisenberg on us!
Heisenberg? I’m uncertain that’s what he’s after. With these nuclear powered test tubes, I’d say he’s trying to quantify Schrodinger’s experiments. From the cat’s point of view.
Damn son, can we all say completely fookin’ LOCO now? HR get a bloody grip ey?
The last time HR got a bloody grip it was on Ferris.
http://guildedage.net/comic/chapter-25-page-14/
It ended poorly for Ferris.
“Sometimes I feel like I’m working for the wrong super-villain. I mean sure, Microsoft is more boring about it, but at least Bill Gates wears pants.”
Ahh, then you wouldn’t be comfortable henching for me. I’m not overtly fond of wearing pants either, too hot here.
Hah my gravatar is like an older me.
And has a notion of boundaries.
Huh. Guys who want to become gods tend to end as endbosses.
He’s going Ned Flanders!
…wait, was that a Cosby reference? From “Himself”? GENIUS.
Check it at 3:49.

“This is what they sound like BEFORE I take them to bed.”
RUN
turn off the lights before you go, but RUN
Make sure he has signed the company over to you. Sell it to Microsoft. Then run!
Whoa, getting crazy all up in here!

Panel 3 is creeptastic. Nice work.
concurrence
In Panel 3 it’s like she just really realized what HR is wearing. You see the realization done in her face from 2 to 3.
But she turned in to him I think that will be a telling movie.
that should say “dawn” not “done” – I wish I could EDIT
Edits would be nice expecially for those of us using phones with autocorrect that thinks it’s smart.
I usually call it “Autoco-wreck.” It’s very existence is suitable reason for turning it off.
50 shades of HR.
“Delayed for 24 hours to test divine apotheosis”? The excuses that Arkerra uses to explain patching delays keep getting delayed are weirder and weirder….
I am a god. A GOD !!!
…
Hahaha, fooled you.
I am just a nerd in underpants.
But please, don´t tell anyone.
That would totally spoil my fun.
This…will be very interesting.
Perfect avatar is perfect.
But in all seriousness, how does HR plan to retain his memories, or powers..? Then again, we know nothing of how he’s inserting himself into the game world. What “character” he has created for himself.
H.R. is really Mushmouth from Fat Albert? I didn’t see that coming…
wasn’t he fucking with the 5 to wake them up? whats the point of cultists and corrupter beasts if everybody goes in?
How bad are her options when THIS is boyfriend material?
Well, she’s the one who decided to put her work/job ahead of everything else…
