Comic #145: Food Shortage (Patreon)

Originally published: June 1st, 2008.

Aww, poor peanut. This was back before pet battles, so vanity pets, as they were called at the time, were a bit more special.

This is another exploration of the "what if they had no gear" thought experiment. I feel like it probably went 10 comics too long, but I still enjoy it.

For some odd reason, after all these years, I find the fact that I chose to draw Keydar's puddle of vomit at the end somehow more disturbing than the severed horse head or the mangled baby elephant, or wait, was he an Elekk?

I wish I could remember how this joke came about. Did I start with the bad Peanut Brittle pun and work backwards? Or did I sit there for hours like a goober trying to think of a good mount/pet food pun. With my track record, I'm going to go with the later.
