Editor’s Note: People have misinterpreted this post as a criticism of individual recruiters when it is meant to highlight the predatory nature of recruitment in general. It’s the difference between institutional function and the “few bad apples” kind of myth. The function of recruiters, especially in high schools, is predatory – making all who do it culpable.

the number one surefire way to make people remember something is to annoy them so here’s an annoying announcement that some of the douchebags i keep seeing are gonna get mad at and then remember because it made them mad
[sidenote: gay/bi/pan/etc, trans, and ace are not mutually exclusive identities and this comic does not imply that. just in case anyone tries to get picky. you can be het-ace-trans and acephobic/biphobic, aro-gay-trans and homophobic, etc etc. endless possibilities exist for being a shitty person.]

By the way, a cautionary tale
If you find a bunch of bones that are A: untouched and B: supernaturally clean, there is definitely a reason for both of those things. Sometimes that reason is ants. Sometimes those ants are fire ants. Sometimes those fire ants have made a nest over the entire three meter area around those bones

Asian Batman
So ever since I found out that Batman isn’t Asian (long story about kid me), I’ve been wanting an Asian Batman. Kinda just... hoping and wishing one would appear in the newest movie or something. And I finally got sick of waiting, figured I’m a writer, why don’t I write it?
Soooooo I started it.
But the problem is:
No motivation whatsoever.
Now I’m staring at what I did get done like “this would be so awesome if someone finished it.”

That one time Slade thought Clark Kent was Bruce Wayne and slipped him a Neurotoxin Mickey only to get his ass kicked anyway.
This comic is great!
