Comic #879: A Snail's Pace (Patreon)

I have a list of mildly annoying game mechanics for comic ideas, and this one is at the top of the list. I feel like these types of annoyances are so minor they rarely warrant an entire comic devoted to them, but here we are. In this case I decided the best way to demonstrate a mildly annoying mechanic is to show Gigz going apeshit over it.

Funny enough, my choice of animal to squish in this comic is 100% due to the comic title. I originally had Moles instead of Snails, but I couldn't think of a good enough title. I wanted a title that would have a double meaning, one for the animal, and one for the crappy mechanic. So I started thinking of some common idioms that referenced animals and slowness, and came up with "A Snail's Pace". 

I purposefully made the final panel similar to #863 because of how much I loved that final panel. Maybe one day I can make a montage of all the times Gigz clobbered the crap out of someone.
