Let’s test out this Comicpress thing all the kids are talking about.
Discussion (77) ¬
press triangle for “special” discount
Congratulations. You have posted the first comment on the first strip of this comic. Your comment will be seen for years, as every newcomer looks at the comments.
Holy Carp
Ya know…when I saw Space Marine I was thinking Warhammer 40K. Silly me I guess.
Haha, me, too, actually.
Thought Starcraft.
That’s a shame…
starcraft is ossim. gtfo fag
D8 I’M PUSHING IT! I’M PUSHING IT! PLZ STOP HURTING ME!
PRESS [ ] TO DO A SALES PITCH
PRESS ^ TO DO A HARD SELL
PRESS R2 TO OBLITERATE COMPETITION WITH POSEIDON’S RAGE
KILL CUSTOMERS TO GET GREEN ENERGY DRINKS
P.S. there is an inappropriate apostrophe in this comic.
But the fact that it was around my 10th reading when I noticed it testifies to the sum hilarity, yes yes?
Hm, all the apostrophes I see in there were intentional. Sometimes I use them in dialogue in places that would be grammatically incorrect in a formal sense to represent a beat in the character’s train of thought. Like a mini-ellipsis.
It’s an “it’s” vs “its”. The latter is possessive, which is probably what panel 4 wants.
Apostrophe–not comma. It’s versus its.
Oh, phft, total brain blank there.
No, no, “it’s” is right. “its” would imply a plural “it”. The apostrophe makes it possessive.
“It’s” means “it is.” You just made my grammar hurt.
For Christ’s sake, I already fixed the typo and you guys have more than driven this topic into the ground. Feel free to stop beating this dead horse anytime now.
Hey look at me, I’m the ninth layer of replies! That, like, never happens.
I enjoy webcomics and punctuation!
10th. Just befuckingcause.
eleventh, bitches xD
No, “its” is not just plural “it”s, it’s (it is) the possessive as “it’s” means exclusively “it is”.
…Ya’ll can let it go now. This isn’t a school this is the interwebs
To the above conversation, as a professional grammar nazi, and to help out Coelasquid a bit, I feel the need to point out that it’s is, in fact, incorrect, as ‘it’s’ means “it is.” In the strange case of it’s vs. its, the one with a lack of an apostrophe is the one that is, in fact, possessive. The other one is, and can only be, a contraction.
As for the rest of my comment, since I’ve just come onto this comic, I must say that I am DEEPLY enjoying this. The current Pokemon arc is making me very, very happy. And Kratos in this one makes me giggle so very much. I can’t wait for more.
– Tyros
– Tyros
Ah, fail… Accidentally, two – Tyros’s.
In the strange case of it’s vs. its, the one with a lack of an apostrophe is the one that is, in fact, possessive.
To help me remember, I association “its” with the other possessives that do not contain apostrophes; his, hers, theirs…
where’s MightyDAXTER?
Ahaha Kratos makes a lovely businessman,
He does, doesn’t he?
*walks up to Kratos* Hi, sir, I was interested on buying an iPhone but I’m not too sure on the alternat–
Kratos: STUPID MORTAL! WHY TALK ON THE PHONE WHEN YOU CAN SIMPLY SCREAM ACROSS THE GLOBE IN ANGUISH AND FURY! *Bashes my head into the tab*
I may have to use that :P
haha, scream across the globe :D
i love this comic haha

+1
The last panel is an example of why the phrase “What Would Kratos Do?” will get you not only fired, but also arrested in most cases.
Best. Comic. Ever.
I read ’em all in reverse order. I think this one’s the best, actually.
I came back to visit the first page again, and it still makes me laugh. I tip my hat to you Coelsquid.
I agree.
I also tip my hat.
Hat? You mean laurel… Thing?
I thought that said “I tip my head” not hat. What was I thinking?
Omfg, I wondered why the “Press O to…” scene looked familiar.
Bloody LOVE God of War! 8D
Woah… maybe this is just a testament to how much my favorite webcomics blend together in my head, but the nerd getting beaten up in the last panel reminds me of Hanna from HINABN.
I was coming back to here to link the page to someone, and I noticed this is labeled page 71. Am I missing 70 pages of awesome?
I love you….. please don’t ever stop being awesome. I think someone should bring you cookies everyday just for your awesomeness. I LOVE YOU…. please don’t tell your husband.

Kratos:Legendary grandmaster of salesmen who brings a brand new perspetive to “hard sell” concept.
Who’s da man, huh! HUH!
Mustn’t laugh… too sick…
Pfft…
BWAHAHAHA – *breaks off into massive coughing fit*
This made me laugh out loud.
This doesn’t happen too often, but I think I’m sold on this comic after just the first page.
How do you not have the social network sharing buttons?! I want to share this! (and I’m too lazy to send people links)
This is still awesome.
Come on guys! B25’s Rock Lobster! One of the best songs of the 80s!

Christ, I just finished it yesterday, and I’m back here.
And here we go again. You made a really good comic.
Is it just me, or has the Commander gotten a lot handsomer since you first started drawing him?
I just read this entire thing backwards, starting with the most recent page, and have now finally made it to the first. Good show. Very confusing, and I probably shouldn’t have done it this way, but…eh.
Yeah, but it would make more sense if you could redeploy the Or Like, if Abernathy farms is under attack, you can either intervene by yourself for XP, or choose to send the Minutemen from I mean, isn’t that the point of the Minutemen? And if you have a kidnapping, maybe you could put Valentine on the
You know, I finally played God of War 2 now in 2018 and when I got to the translator QTE I thought of this comic and went, “ooooooh now I get it!”
So will we ever get back to the whole agency aspect? It seems more like a small group of friends at this point and we don’t really see the macho office drama anymore.
