AAaA Bandit 4
Cute and funny penultimate installment here, with only the slightest hint of Bandit’s social issues giving it a little bit of weight. I’m pretty sure she’s sincerely unaware of her friends’ preferences, despite the story Jason tells so delightfully in the backgrounds of the last two panels. We’ve stretched the ascetic Gravedust in a lot of ways, but I think this is the only time we saw him go full Cookie Monster.
We got freer and freer with the “dire” label as Guilded Age went on. Had the series lasted 100 chapters, we probably would have ended up with dire goose, dire platypus, dire whale…
While this story was running, we were also doing the 2014 Axemas special, which was also themed around celebrations that didn’t go so well, actually. The difference is that none of the participants had Bandit’s blissful ignorance.
Oh, that’s weird. I was like “Is the one with alternate Shanna the last one? That can’t be right.” And it wasn’t right. Somehow I totally missed the one I was looking forward to the most.
Ngl, I laughed heartily at Gravy resignedly packing up the B-o-S.
I am just here for the Gravity Falls clip, since it’s one of the finest shows from the past ten years.
So is Bandit a bad cook, or is dire mouse just that unappetizing?
Well, it’s a monster rat. A severly overcooked monster rat with black smoke coming out of it. So, it’s both things, if you ask me.
When I first heard that old debunked rumor about KFC secretly selling you fried rats instead of fried chicken, I thought that if that turned out to be true, it would actually be a great thing: That would mean KFC found a way to make rats somehow taste good, AND to make them safe for people to eat. The end of world hunger! But even if Colonel Sanders had the gall to sell you sewer vermin for lunch, I’m willing to bet even he wouldn’t try to sell it to you burnt to a crisp
So, even if Byron, Syr’Nj and Gravedust were that open minded to different culinary experiences, I’m sure neither of them would want to eat a lump of furry charcoal
