The Visit (1 / 3)
(67 votes, average: 3.36 out of 5)
Loading ...This is a short story that I did a couple of years ago. It was published in a Transplant comics anthology, and I’ve reprinted it in the SCP book. The artwork is a bit crude, but I think the story still holds up.
Other than the story that I’m working on right now for the next Cloudscape book, this is the only comic I’ve ever done that’s longer than a page. I want to change that! 
There are three pages in total - I’ll post the other two on Wednesday and Friday.

i dont get it

It feels like I am not getting some important part of this story.
April 21st, 2008 at 12:51 pm
^Probably because it’s one of a three part story.

I’m gonna wait until the other two are up before I vote. I’m not really sure where this going yet. It looks good so far, and the art is certainly better than anything I could ever do.

Good God, I hope there’s dialogue to this. I really dont want to have to fill it in with suggestions from my crappy imagination, it looks far too cool.

The reason some of you aren’t getting it is because it’s not supposed to be funny (not yet, at least)
Notice the title says it’s part 1 of 3

I remember this from way back when. Good times. Also when you said:
“Other than the story that I’m working on right now for the next Cloudscape book, this is the only comic I’ve ever done that’s longer than a page. I want to change that”
I assume you meant OTHER than the little robot looking for a job?

Well, I think it’s safe to say Mr. CreepyAbdomen teleported in somehow. My first instinct was that it’s that kid from the future, but since the kid doesn’t seem that important, perhaps that’s incorrect…
the need for the sneezing guy confounds me… perhaps no one said “God bless you” or “Gehzunteight”* and thus brought on this anomaly?
Another note about Mr. CreepyAbdomen… he reminds me kind of like a moses figure. the blood thing goes into him in the first panel, conceivably in the second, but not i the last (out of the ones he is in)
And lastly… any guesses on the name of the hospital? I was thinking Unity, but that can’t be… all i can say is it ends in -unly.
~Qwerty
*spell check wants me to make this counterweight. I know it’s wrong, but seriously.

The way I read it was the dude with the hankie was blowing his nose, possibly after crying, and Mr. CreepyAbdomen is a ghost.

My first thought is that the kid wished that his grandpa wouldn’t die, and so of course, the grandpa who died in surgery comes walking out, magically glowing. I dunno.

@ Director
That actually sounds pretty feasible.

Oh no, not another storyline!
Nah, this one promises to be way better than the little robot.

@ fishmeester *kisses teeth* don’t you be dissing the little robot or you’ll be getting beef (assuming you understand english slang). Seriously though, what ever happened to the little robot? I really liked it.

It’s “county hospital.”

“And I would have gotten away with it, too, if it weren’t for those meddling teenagers!”
April 23rd, 2008 at 12:42 am
… All I can say to this is ‘cool, the guy certainly has guts’ (to walk out of surgery like that, perhaps?)

The third strip explains it all. To say anything more ruins the comic. Needless to say, you may have a 6th sense about the ending…
April 23rd, 2008 at 6:56 am
Hasn’t this strip appeared here before?

“You didn’t say ‘Bless you’ when I sneezed….”
