Chapter 5: Intermission, page 19.
I’d like a job just drawing pitbull derpfaces.
Anybody hiring?

Yeah, what Jamly said. But I also think it’s a religious symbol, specifically for the leading American religion of this world (not Christianity apparently).
Love this comic. Probably more than Girl Genius, which is the only other serious contender for me at the moment. This is the best web comic I have ever read and I want more! Faster! Eh, but I’ll have to content myself with re-reading the archives again =)
It’s been a while since I’ve reread the whole comic, so I forgot to be nervous about everyone and everything until Bo dropped his shit all over. D:> Damnit, Spike!
All things being equal, they might like to tune Sunny up, but I’m thinking the Jakes can’t wait to get the hell outta Dodge…AFTER whatever’s left of EJ leads them back to Biggs.
Amen to that! My sister’s still hasn’t figured out that the cats don’t like her, and that her presence is therefore not useful when mediating cat arguments…
LOL! I went and looked again, and with your comment in my mind, I totally saw/heard him singing. ‘Fighting evil by moonlight! Winning love by daylight!’
I would hire you to draw all the pitbulls that come into the shelter I volunteer at. They’re always so derpy and cute but people are still kind of afraid of them. Derp drawing would help.
i think one of the funniest parts of this site has become checking back for the increasingly dramatic and often poetic laments that build up beneath long unupdated posts. it’d be great if you did post more regularly, but in the mean time, come on people, let’s get creative!
Behind me, a thousand dead websites litter the infosphere….
Suddenly, ahead! An oasis! Could it be a posting? A comment by Spike? Oh help me, TWO comics?
I reach the oasis and again, I am saddened as it turns to dust… in truth nothing more than than a reload of the comments page and a few ad hits… I hear Caravan playing in the background….
And then I think, well, it’s been six years since A Lesson Is Learned was updated…. and it just updated!!! Holy cow maybe we will get more Templar!!
My faith invigorated, I renew my (web)crawl, loading that tab only to see Bo screaming again and again
(still, it’s better than the long pause in the era of the handmade gun sale… I’d rather eat sand than see that panel again)
Seems like Spike is too busy with everything else she’s doing. Would be nice to at least get a real update or something saying the comic is on hiatus here. I’m not the type of person that’s gonna read/decipher months of fucking twitter feed to see that she never said anything about Templar to anyways.
the tat’ on Bo’s neck looks like a vagina.
…more like those creepy shadow shapes we’ve been seeing on walls since Chapter 1.
Isn’t it one of those recurring silhouettes, with the dot and dash on the ‘face’ area?

Also it’s totally a vagina.
Love the little “FUK ARIZONA” graffiti. And huh, you’ve got me rooting for Sunny now. Impressive. :)
I keep forgetting I’m dead.

that pitbull derpface. so amazing. the longer i looked at it the more hilarious it got.
i snorted into my tea :( grosss

When he isn’t steaming or screaming over something, Sunny ain’t a terrible looking dude. Huh.
See the sad thing is Bo is actually -right-, the Jakes would gladly scatter Sunny across town in 1-inch chunks…
All things being equal, they might like to tune Sunny up, but I’m thinking the Jakes can’t wait to get the hell outta Dodge…AFTER whatever’s left of EJ leads them back to Biggs.
Just make pitbull derpface shirts and mugs and stuff. All the pitbull derpfaces forever.
Great. Now every time I see pit bulls barking I’m going to hear “DERP! DERP! DERP!”
Especially since pits are naturally derpalicious to begin with ^.^
Amen to that! My sister’s still hasn’t figured out that the cats don’t like her, and that her presence is therefore not useful when mediating cat arguments…
What do the Jakes have against Sunny? I don’t know if I just can’t remember or if it just hasn’t been said.
I believe he chased off Gene’s wife (who was a super duper Jake at the time).
He also punched one in the chops after she threatened him with a knife…
No I think that was EJ
Yeah, but Sunny punched a Jake lady, too; Emma, after she threatened him with a knife.
And then at some point she ran away, not sure if it’s correlated. But she isn’t Jake anymore.
Has anyone else noticed how ridiculously huge Bo’s eyes are, especially in the third panel? He’s giving Sailor Moon a run for her money.
LOL! I went and looked again, and with your comment in my mind, I totally saw/heard him singing. ‘Fighting evil by moonlight! Winning love by daylight!’
No! I finally finished reading the archive only to find out you haven’t updated in two and half weeks…
Awww man I read ’em all. Time to drag out a lawn chair and wait.
Checking this site has become death by a thousand cuts.
Yeah… I’m thinking the header should be changed from “M. W. F.” to “Quarterly”. Then we could plan for it.
Technically, she never said which M, W, or F…
My vote is to change from M, W, F to “sometimes”
Oh, good point. If she ever updates on Tu, Th, Sa or Su, we’d better call her on it though…

Like molasses pouring in subzero temperatures this comic marches on!
dear spike,
i think one of the funniest parts of this site has become checking back for the increasingly dramatic and often poetic laments that build up beneath long unupdated posts. it’d be great if you did post more regularly, but in the mean time, come on people, let’s get creative!
much love.
Lo, I stumble through the wasteland….

This scene started back in January and I really want to see it end!
Katy has a great idea – PitBull Derp calendar for Pitbull Shelters!
:( sad theres no update.
So…we’re not getting updates ’cause she’s spending so much time looking for that pitbull derpface drawing job?
