In a postapocalyptic landscape, a graying man and a 14-year-old girl come upon a stranger who welcomes them to his campfire.
Joe: I’m Joe, and this is Ella, who is not my daughter.
Stranger 1: Come ’round, let me tell you my harrowing story of survival.
Another stranger appears to attack the first with a knife. The first stranger pulls out a gun. Ella’s eyes widen while Joe looks nonplussed.
Stranger 2: I’ll kill you!
Stranger 1: I’ll kill you first!
A fungus zombie appears to tackle both strangers and wrap them in fungal growths. Ella recoils, but Joe doesn’t react.
Zombie: click click click
Stranger 2: Ahhh!
Stranger 1: I’ve been bitten!
The strangers and zombie are now in tiny pieces on the ground. Joe calmly holds a gun in one hand and has his other arm over Ella’s shoulders. Ella’s face is sprayed with blood, and her eyes are still bulging in shock.
Joe: The important thing is that we’re a family now.
P.S. Our bills are paid by our wonderful patrons. Could you chip in?
It’s pleasing to finally see some gore in Once Upon A Trope.
It’s a funny joke, but damn, it’s also too real. I really detest these kind of narratives that TLoA happens to peddle.
Could you explain that a bit more? I’m not sure I completely get what you’re trying to say.
Sorry, but I don’t really want to get into a discussion about the game here. I wrote that comment on the spur of the moment, and maybe I shouldn’t have, since it’s so vague (and also I made a typo in the acronym, should be TLoU).
This little comic speaks to me, is all I wanted to say. :P
