Chapter 9 Page 2
If that guy even tries to tell people about this they might not believe him. “This red and black eyed weirdo came and got this guy in an eyepatch! No, really! No the blood isn’t because I murdered someone why are you arresting me-“

“I know a guy” why do I hear boss music playing?
Wait is Schtein crying or is it a trick of the light
I mean I’d be crying, look at how they massacred my boy
Oh I didn’t notice that, those are definitely tears. He’s wiping them away in the next panel
I didn’t expect Schtein to still have working tearducts, not after the explosion to his face that means doctors have to replace his entire eyeballs with cybernetics. But on the other hand, tearducts are not parts of the eye… and if he didn’t have working tearducts anymore the surgeons would have had to install something to keep the cyber-eyes lubricated in the eyesockets, wash out dust and grit etc, all the stuff real tears are for.
yeah imagine his fake eyes getting all dry and stuck in there. gross.
https://www.stringtheorycomic.com/comic/page-seventeen/ he’s crying on this page too.
Ooh a zillion years ago! Back before everything went wrong.
(I mean, in our *own* reality.)
I think he is crying too. 2nd panel shows him wiping something off his face so I am inclined to believe the first panel shows a genuine tear from our mad scientist.
Wow did not think he had that much cash on him.
Glad to see is there for his friend now when he needs him.
Hopefully he will treat him better than when they were back in collage.
P.S. Like the design of Laurences shirt.
too bad this shirt is completely ruined
Sad to see it go so soon T-T
Unrelated question. How rich is the Doc.?
I know he has his family mansion and that briefcase full of cash but how wealthy is he?
it fluctuates. He doesn’t currently have a steady income and a lot of his wealth is invested. Plus the economy in my comic isn’t the same as it is IRL, there’s hyper inflation, so if I said he was a millionaire that’s really not that impressive. hell, it’s not impressive right now in 2022 (although still wish I was one lol). Thanatos handed him a couple million (that he already spent) and he makes a lot of money off of his mother’s estate, and he has a trust from his mother’s family estate. I don’t think it’s a good idea for me to be specific. let’s say he’s comfortable.
Thanks for the info. Good to see the Doc. is not relying on only 1 source of income. Was concerned that he was basically broke after seeing what he was building a while back after finishing his end of the bargain with Thanatos.
Wonder if he will fix or make small things on the side for and sell them or even start a full blown business to get extra wealth and build some new for supplies and connections.
Herville has really changed from the first chapter, huh?
Ugh. Back Ally mob Doctors are either all med school flunkies or are occasionally competent but REALLY expensive black market physicians, the kind that can get a mob boss a new heart from some disappeared orphan. Schtein is either going to risk his friend under some drunk slob’s knife, or clean out his pocket book.
Yay for new update!
Thank you so much for another update! Finally he is getting medical help!
One day, they might have a happy moment again.
are you still alive, its been many months since last hearing of you
Finally caught up on my nth reread, although my nth reread came after YEARS. (I’m an old reader, never commented.) Your art is as lovely as ever!
I checked. Seems to be.
Any chance there’s still enough life in your body to post your current corporeal status?
Lot of people are convinced you’re dead right about now…
like who? jeeze I’m not that hard to contact. I have a tumblr (mistahgrundy) and a mastodon (https://mastodon.social/web/@DirkGrundy) and my email is on my about page if you’re worried I’m dead. I’m sure if I died my husband would probably let people on twitter know as well.
It has been hard to get back into making art pretty much at all lately, for me. I am grieving.
(knuckle bump) some of us are so awkward we don’t pry in ANY way…even with actual real-world family. Much less people we know online. I function, for now, Stay shiney.
