The Far Out There Staff Office Christmas Party – page 7
This joke works a lot better if you don’t look at the first panel closely enough to realize that the parking lot doesn’t actually have any cars in it anyway. So I’d better make sure to not draw any attention to that fact. Yup, I’d better allow it to pass with no comment whatsoever.
Also, that’s a SCHOOL parking lot in real life, which only raises more questions.
It is actually a little upsetting that Vengeance is considered scary even when the other character’s know that his job is primarily to sit around being mildly unsettling in a way that scares children, just by existing. That said, since it’s his only major character trait that we’ve seen, it is understandable that he continues that if you’re, as you said you are last page, keeping the characters as themselves with just the added understanding that they’re usually characters in a webcomic.
The thought occurs that there’s some Character-establishing moments for Vengeance waaaaaay back in those rough draft comics I posted on Photobucket that were never properly replicated in the official comics.
I’m hoping that there will be something revealed about him in the future.
…You know what? I feel like the one who reveals information about Vengeance should be Ichabod’s Girlfriend. A character we meet for the first time after being hinted at for an extended period having all the answers about a character who has been in the story from the beginning but whom has revealed nothing.
…and my second thought is that Vengeance is Ichabod’s Secret Bodyguard, hired by his girlfriend. Emphasis on “Secret”, so he can’t save Ichabod in any way that Ichabod would realise.
At the risk of saying too much, there IS some meaningful Vengeance content planned for the next plot arc!
The class Vengeance teaches at the local elementary school is the best behaved class ever! Nobody actually knows what would happen if they misbehaved, and nobody wants to find out.
Aside from the fact that most of the kids are in therapy, he’s the best elementary school teacher ever!
