10: Deathwish

Page Notes

Episode published on Monday 18th of July, 2005.

How ironic, the title of this episode is probably what you wish the author of this comic has. I'm obviously talking "ironic" in the Alanis Morissette sense here, i.e. not ironic at all.

Alright, past-me, we get it: Mr. Pain is supposed to be a bad mutha who hurts and kills people. We've just seen him beat the snot out of one of his own guards! This episode is not required!

Protester: I REFUSE TO SPEAK TO YOU LAPDOGS! I WANT TO SPEAK DIRECTLY TO THE MANAGER!
Armoured henchman: ...ARE YOU SURE?
Protester: YES!
Armoured henchman: ...YOUR DEATH-WISH.

(The scene returns to the present, Mr. Pain is smirking.)

Pain: I think he's going to reconsider his request when he meets me.
New guy: That's what we tried to explain to him...
