Dead Winter Minicomics Batch #31

Added 2021-06-19 01:19:39 +0000 UTC

Okay so! I'm slowly making my way to 100 minicomics, and this week I have one to share but I think it's a really funny one so it should carry the value of two or three other minis. I put some time into making a major advance in my gamedev work which I will me writing about shortly. Right now, though, I'm going to share this extremely good mini with you.

#084: Dr. Pfeiffer has been getting a whole bunch of screentime lately, and the minis are no exception. The "bad doc" to Dr. Parker's "good doc", he's really useful for demonstrating some of the weirder or less-glamorous aspects of being a medical professional in this world. In this case Ted from the Dinner Boys has something going on in his insides, and there's no nuclear medicine wing of the Tombstone medical ward, so in order to see what's wrong they need to innovate a bit. The punchline of this strip is inspired by the game element where we have animations for the characters when they get electrocuted, and you can see details about their bones:

If you can simulate this effect in a controlled medical setting with a car battery and two wet sponges, then maybe you don't need to keep a bunch of radioactive material in your building!

This week should be a bit easier for me so I will try to get a bit further ahead on minicomics, while keeping up with the main comic progress. Until then, have a good weekend!
