It occurred to me while I was making this that I’ve never had to draw the Commander smiling before.
Manly Guys Doing Manly Things
Updated Mondays or whenever I feel like it
It occurred to me while I was making this that I’ve never had to draw the Commander smiling before.
love the comic its hilarious, keep up the great work. :)
I saw this one in production. I should’ve done the customary “Matt draws one line” to claim artist’s credit.
Panel five amuses me to no end.
This is hilarious, I love the Commanders face as he tries to ignore P-head.
please tell me his kids are manly too
*does not know a hopeful face emoticon*
oh you KNOW his offspring are all cute and cuddly lil girls….until you cross them and then they leave you bleeding in the gutter. :)
I knew it!! There’s gonna be a relationship starting here.
The Commander’s ex must be an absolute dumbass to divorce a guy with job security, mental stability and muscles.
Or it’s like a Tyrannosarus Rex kind of relationship, with the female being bigger and ultimately more badass than the male, and eating him because he isn’t worthy, and finding a new mate.
Or, in today’s society, divorce and taking half his stuff.
Tyrannosaurs do that? I thought it was Black Widows… Or Praying Mantises… Or both…
In nature, black widows eat their smaller mates for energy to lay the eggs. Praying Mantis females eat the heads of the males during mating to increase chance of procreation. Insects are creepy.
SPIDERS AREN’T INSECTS >8[
A winner is you.
On the contrary, the word “insect” is made of two latin words, “in”, meaning “a”, and “sect”, meaning “repulsive little creature”. That said, not only are spiders considered insects, but so are scorpions, bats, olives, Zhu-zhu pets, oktorocks, the late Gary Coleman, and thos unfortunate little animals known as “pugs”, who look like they have been hit in the face multiple times with the Oxford English DIctionary.
Of course, there’s also a chance i’m totally making it up. XD
I love the OED and pugs. Now I know how they’re related.
Actually, spiders are arachnids
That was fantastic.
*arthropods are creepy?
Actually, in the wild praying mantis females rarely ever eat the males. Turns out that’s something
they do mainly when kept in sterile labs with gigantic hominids staring at them at all times and
stressing them right the fuck out.
No. They do it in the wild. I know because in my elementary school years, one day I saw two praying mantises outside in the grass. I went inside and got an old chocolate covered raisins container and poked holes in the lid. I then put a bunch of grass in said container and put the two praying mantistes in. A male and a female. Either that or the smaller one was just younger. Idk. Anyway, I shut the lid and left the container in the grass to look for good for the two. At the time I didn’t know what they ate so I got some of those ground leaves, the kind that grow in a bunch on the ground and are safe to eat(I know because I used to pick them and eat them back then. They taste just like lettuce. So that’s probably what all green leaves taste like.), anyway I grabbed some of those and more grass. I did see a grasshopper so if I had known I probably would have tried to catch that or maybe just never have got them. Anyway I returned with the “food” and saw that the larger one had decapitated the smaller one. I dumped everything back out into the grass after that deciding I didn’t want them if they were going to kill the other. I thought they were in love and happy. But I didn’t know about the mating habits of praying mantises back then. Do yes they do do that in the wild. No one was really watching the container at the time. And I tried to make them comfortable in there with grass and stuff.
Maybe he divorced her, cause she’s a femme fatale evil type lady or something. Manly men often seem drawn to them, but it’s one of those things were you later wonder “how the hell did I ever think that would work?”
Pyramid head. <333333
You disturb me.
I disturb me….
Humans disturb me…
You make me smile.
I smile like a madman all the time…
I smile as I stab people…
Agreed, Pyramid Head is so dreamy.
my little brother couldn’t remember P-Heads name and by mistake called him Triangle Face. Hilarity ensued.
I called him Triangle Head until someone told me what he was actually named.
In Japan, they call him ▲-sama. Yep, they insert a little triangle symbol.
He’s just that awesome.
Triangle Man, Triangle Man, doing the things a triangle can…
I believe you mean “Triangle Man hates Particle Man.”
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sNT8SMlqLJA
YOU.
YES YOU.
I LOVE YOU.
Do you have a glass eyeball?
Oh sweet Jesus Teatime would scare the sh*t outta these manly men….
Back then I never clicked the link, I though it was this video
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BwY2vzuksGk
What the f did I just watch?!?
lol, I’ve heard that song multiple times. Why does Triangle Man hate Particle Man? Because Particle Man is the only one who can get under that helmet, see his face, and mess with him by hitting the one usually armored weak spot that Pyramid Head has. It’s funny; I know about Pyramid Head, yet I haven’t played ANY of the Silent Hill games. I’ve read about him somewhat, and I have a friend who is a HUGE Silent Hill freak once you get her started on the subject.
In SH2, he is White Pyramid and Red Pyramid. I’m pretty sure Pyramid Head is just a fan-made name.
Yeah, but it’s still the generally accepted fan-name.
I think James may call him something to the effect of “that Pyramid Headed Thing” at one point, though.
I’m pretty sure He is Red Pyramid, BUT.. James uses Pyramid Head to describe him
No, James refers to him as “that red pyramid thing.” Trust me, I’ve been replaying it lately. Pyramid Head is still the common fan name for English-speakers, though, so it doesn’t matter.
I’ve also played played the game many times, and Pyramid Head ain’t a fan-made name, which you should know if you read the description of the Great Knife; once you’ve stolen it while in the labyrinth.
Great Knife: Massive weapon wielded by Pyramid Head. Hard to use, but lethal.
Never tried it myself, but they say if James equips the Great Knife and turns off his flashlight, other monsters will hear the blade dragging and run away.
I saw someone doing science about that once. Either it doesn’t work on Hard Mode, or it just doesn’t work at all.
I’m intensely curious about the girl, now. What’s her name? where does she come from? Does she have a chance with the enigmatic commander? Is his wife more fearsome than he?
ALL WILL BE REVEALED…
*insert dramatic music?*
http://instantsfun.es/drama
It’s obvious her name is Lara. :D
Good heavens, just look at the time XD
rofl, That was the first thing that popped into my head too.
Nice one
Anyone else catch the “brisk walking pace” joke?
Its funny because in the game he is just too slow to catch you.
The only time I -ever- got taken by pyramid head was thanks to a bad camera angle.
There’s a reason the door locks behind you when you run into him for a boss fight. Well, I say “fight,” usually you just have to survive until the hidden timer runs out.
That is hilarious! Thank you for explaining. I’ve never played Silent Hill.
Must say the “brisk walking pace is our best defence” is possible my favourite part :D
keep up the good work
Cripes, that sword must be heavy!
Heh heh,awesome,can’t wait to see the macho kids The Commander would spawn.
I love this comic series, absolute favorite i’ve seen on the internet. Jared and his magikarp was pure excellence; and the Pyramid Head was completely unexpected. Well played, madame, well played.
Must… reach… loli…
Spreading this webcomic like wildfire. It’s just excellent.
Does anyone else notice that the portrait of the shark opens its mouth after the third panel?
Also, love the boxing poster :O
“Punching Victim” poster, like those “Choking Victim” ones all over New York.
Its not a portrait. Its an actual shark in a tank.
Its kind of interesting how every one of these overly-manly manly men are so intricately detailed, but this woman is so generic by comparison that to the untrained eye, it looks like her jacket has the same amount of attention paid to it as her entire head.
Commandy’s face, panel 6? Pure. Gold. I would love to see a higher res version of that, minus the girl. Just the Commander. Staring.
Also, what the HELL is PH doing in the next panel?
UH
He appears to be thrusting his tongue between two fingers and pointing at the woman.
Oh, PH. You class act.
He puts the ASS in CLASS
I think he’s trying to make a very lewd gesture
A pelvic thrust, if I’m not mistaken
I thought he meant panel 7.
Y’know, where he’s making a reference to …oral stuff :B
She does have attention paid to her character design, but since there aren’t many other women around it’s hard to tell by contrast. Specifically, she has a round face, wide eyes without heavy lids, a pointed, slightly upturned nose with triangular nostrils, and round lips. By contrast, Jared’s mom has a longer face and nose, heavy lidded eyes, arched eyebrows, and pursed lips.
I figure if there’s only one female around for the most part, she should be pretty normal looking lest people jump in with the inevitable YOU CAN’T DRAW WOMEN squawks that follow quirky lady designs.
*sigh* I knew I didn’t do a good enough job making it not sound like an insult. “to the untrained eye” just wasn’t gonna cut it… My apologies.
Naw, I knew you didn’t mean it as an insult, I was just explaining the things I keep in mind to make her distinct, even though there aren’t really any other girls for her to be distinct from :P
I know you said that this is just a side project, but this comic is simply to awesome and manly to only be updated once per week.
Also, you need a hi-res image of the Commander’s face in panel 6 in the extras section. Ya know, for avatars and stuff.
Darn. And Pyramid head was just reaching for his Raping sword.
Panel 6 XD Love both expressions! hahaha Man that Pyramidhead looks like a classy attentionwhore, XD I know he like his corpses dead.
Your comic is amazing, the pokemon stuff and pyramid head goodness was especially great. I’ll keep checking back for more. :D
Haha… I love you.
I think Pyramid Head just reminded the Commander why they are a temp agency for manly guys only.
As for panel 7, what is that? Is he sticking his tongue out at the Commander as an elementary school insult kinda thing?
It’s tongue between the legs.
We obviously never heard of “the vicious V” before, have we? Bloody virgins. XD
…I learned something new today.
…As have I, and I kinda wish to unlearn it.
Me too…
This is quickly becoming one of my favorite web comics. cant wait for the next one keep up the good work man.
DROP THE GIANT KNIFE, MAN! IT’S NOT WORTH IT! RAAAAAAPE
Damn he was so freaky in the movie, I never played the game, too scary >_<" the only 3D horror I played was castlevania 64 and the chain saw guy in the garden freaked me tooooo much ;_;
Indeed wonderful part :) you're fault I begin to like manly man the most D8
haha! I loved it! I didn’t know P-Head had a tongue. Or at least that he could stick it out. the pervert :p
Yeah, he can lash it out and impale you in combat.
Sorta reminds me of how Nemesis kills Brad…
Hot.
Pyramid Head. It’s… Pyramid Head. ………………. [many, many lewd jokes about Great Knife censored for the good of humanity]
Very funny! I’ve never seen such an amazing transformation of menacing to hilarious in a comic before. Keep up the great work!
that comic is really manly – thumbs up :)
and so the passerby girl enters the world of manly guys.
what new wonders will she find?
This just made my
dayweek. So much win.$5 says his wife has a beard and his kids have god-like sideburns.
Please?
If you haven’t drawn a smile on him yet, clearly it is a sign you’re a grump.
Because clearly, this gruff, muscular blond man represents myself in this comicverse.
Well, obviously.
Loved this one, by the way.
Yes, clearly the Commander is your self-insert and not the girl who walks by and brings him cookies.
Or maybe I have the skills-of-a-writer required to make a story where none of the characters are me.
Maybe, just maybe.
Curiosity was going to make me ask if you based any of the original charaters on you or someone that you know. Seems I was beaten to the punch.
As an author and peruser of fine literature I find this highly ludicrous.
If great writers like Stephanie Meyer are blatantly writing about themselves, is there any shame in doing the same?
I think not.
Twilight makes me want to vomit. :D
She made vampires unmanly! I don’t care if they fight werewolves shirtless (and I have no idea if they do, cause I refuse to see the films!), they aren’t supposed to sparkle!
You best be trollin’.
People seem unable to differentiate between irony and trolling anymore.
Yeah, but the “:D” at the end of my post totally indicates that I do not take your comment seriously! lol
You mean sarcasm and trolling?
This wasn’t an attack on you at all, just a joke D:
Panel #5 cracked me up really well! Keep up the funny stuff!
Another Great comic, must say I wasn’t expecting PH in the home.
You should add Jack from Madworld!
Oh god yes!
What is crazy cone man doing in the last panel?
“Crazy Cone man”, LOL!
Yeah, that got a chuckle, and a facepalm from me. lol
PH was chasing after them to kill him *don’t know who he is quite yet* and rape her *same*
He has a very handsome smile.
Yeah, too bad you can’t really see it because of that pyramid hat…
Or were you talking about the Commander? :P
I desperately want to know what kind of job Pyramid Head will be placed in.
Probably a Butcher or something.
Given the success of past placements, I’m thinking guidance counselor at an all-girls catholic school.
Big Daddy was doing just fine, ’till the parents showed up.
Close only counts in horseshoes and rocket launchers.
and hand grenades.
Really now? ಠ_ಠ
Oh. My. God.
Coel, this made me bust an ovary laughing!
i lol’d so much at panel 8
keep it up!
In the first comic with Kratos, the comic had a few comments. At the end of Jared’s tale, this thing had 20 comments. The Duke Nukem one before this one had 50+ This thing is speeding up fast! Nice work.
Will we get to see PH at work? By which, I mean “selling hot dogs” or “
perving traffic conesdoing roadworks”, not hacky-slashy…Hahahahaha oh my goodness, I laughed SO HARD once I realized what Pyramid Head was doing in Panel 5…then at all of his panels.
I am so curious to see what those kids must look like..
Just finished reading whats up so far, and I’ve laughed out loud on almost every strip. I hope you keep doing this for a long time!
Oh my god. Normally, I find Pyramid Head pretty overexposed, but this is ACE. <3
Hahha, as much as Pyramid Head freaks me out, I laughed pretty hard at this :D
Lol is it me, or does the shark look different between frames 4 and 5? Like the mouths a bit more open?
yeah, that’s just the consequences of rushing it :P
I prefer the ‘It’s actually a live shark in a tank’ explanation, but you are the artist I guess.
Don’t let my laziness get you down, believe what you want.
A shark in a tank would be a lot manlier though ;)
hey great comics funny as hell pokemon ones are funny only needs one thing more solid snake keep up the good work
Any chance Conan will be showing up here? Gotta love the classics…..
Omg this made me so hot and bothered.
I just looked at this while Rebecca Mayes’ Resident Evil 5 song was playing. Needless to say, I’m not going to be sleeping tonight.
I heard he gives good head..
head, geddit? *nudge nudge*
I like pretending the commander has the same voice actor as Logan did in X-Men: Evolution. It suits him.
The whole “Lemme Eat yah!” sign was my fave.
It occurred to me while reading this, that Pyramid head is very much a rapist. Or A Therapist.
:D If you think about it. It makes all types of sense.
Lol, Pyramid Head has seriously sexual problems, and a little door for his rape tongue XD
Silent Hill FTW :3
Hehe. Amazing page. I also saw the page you did for girls with slingshots, and that was pretty funny. =D Keep up the awesome work.
I hope we get to see Cid Highwind, Barret, and Sabin in this comic… that would make me smile big :D
finally, a great webcomic about great manlyness on great machos and stuff… being looking for something like that for years…
great work coelasquid.
Oh man, PH in panel 4 reminded me of Handbanana from Aqua Teen Hunger Force.
“Tonight. You.”
I’m loving this webcomic, and I can’t say that about many. Any chance of Kazuma Kiryu popping up? That was a manly bastard.
Crap, I meant Panel 5.
You’d think a place like this would have sexual harassment pamphlets handy for just this occurence.
You’re assuming they get a lot of female visitors.
You’re assuming P-head only sexually harasses females.
Pyramid head, seventh panel.
Holy shit, I laughed so hard.
Having never played SH2, (no stomach for horror) I just realized that PH ws a crossdresser.
HE IS WEARING A DRESS. I always thought it was an apron or something.
It’s kind of a butcher smock thing.
I stand corrected.
in the movie it’s an apron, and he has no pants udner it *insert rape face*
at first i was retardedly happy that you drew the sh2 version of red pyramid thing, and not the movie version,
then i saw that you noticed the hole in his mask.
made my day <3.
i feel bad for the face Commander is making, though. i hope he hasn't learned this stuff the hard way.
Well that tongue’s gotta be able to lash out somehow.
Wait, so if he’s like this whenever there’s a female present, how does the Commander manage to find him jobs without getting him thrown in jail? …Or does he just keep escaping?
Yeah I was just wondering what kind of jobs HE gets….
I’m just curious as to why he’s there in the first place. did Silent Hill get demolished? I have this amusing image in my head of an entire construction crew trapped in the town…
Weird. I now have a mental image of a gigantic steamroller, rolling over the town, with those nurses and other pyramid heads running around in a panic.
ROOAADA RORRODA
I’ve been following your comics since around the beginning of May, and you don’t fail to please. I luled so hard at this, and I always look forward to the next Monday for updates. Keep up the fantastic work! :D
Just stumbled on this, absolutely love it. You are amazing :)
Ahh, Pyramid Head, you scuzzy, scuzzy creature you.
The commander’s face in panel six is AMAZING!
I think that she after the tour, she never will back near thar place again XD
Wow, this comic kicks ass. YOU BETTER NOT JUST STOP MAKING IT ONE DAY! IF YOU DO, I WILL HUNT YOU DOWN AND EAT YOU ALIVE!
…And how is that going to help her make comics again, I ask you?
Dude…MORE. Also, alt text is great and hidden image comics (a-la SMBC) are also awesome.
Man am I glad I found this site….
Pyramid Head… yeah…
He would make a good security guard at a prison. Make the prisoners not want to leave their cells.
I laffed. I laffed hard.
I didn’t notice what PH was doing in the seventh panel until the second time I read the comic. Laughed awkwardly laugh and made everyone around me stare – of course you can’t really explain a joke like that to a lot of people can you? “Manly guys” is complete GOLD.
Yay rape jokes because rape is so funny.
Why yes, yes it is.
Hey, there’s no rape here. Just good clean lecherous fun.
The look on commanders face in panel 6 is absolutely golden
I LOVE the motivational poster in the last panel
“Deal: Man the hell up”
Ahahahahah, I was wondering how legible that one was.
This is swiftly becoming my new favourite webcomic, keep up the good work!
I’m so reading this every time you update. Love it! Love the art and the story! Keep it up!
LOL panel seven
Panel 9 is the best. Something tells me Pyramid Head knows how to pick up the chicks..in a tinted-window van
PH has a nice butt.
There, I said it.
Geez, who would notice something li-
…
Dammit, you’re right.
I can only imagine PH is kept inside most of the time… The brisk walking speed joke made my week. And that tongue! Ha! Your Commander is just one of those great characters that I love to death. Very well done. :D
I love this one. Haha, Pyramid Head is awesome and the very reason I have never touched Silent Hill 2 since I was a kid.
I like to call him the Boogeyman, on account of Silent Hill: Homecoming.
what the hell, how did I miss this one.
And you drew the real pyramid head, too. <3 <3 <3 forever
Also, I never commented before, but I really love your comic so far.
I just keep going back to this page, after reading the comic a million times.. Because of the disgruntled face of Mr. Badass in the crotch-grab panel.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA, I died, I just freakin’ died.
I’ve been a Silent Hill fan forever and at first I thought it was gonna be a one-panel joke with Pyramid Head, so I thought it was freakin’ funny when he did the “hey there” gesture with his finger, but the rest was just murder, too funny for words.
All I kept picturing was all those weird gestures he did in the game when James was hiding in the closet and back then I was wondering “what the hell’s he doing?”… now I know… and I can’t unknow it.
I love the Commander’s face in the sixth and seventh panels!
At least he can probably get a job on a construction site in the big city. ^_^
I just discovered this comic, and this one is by far my favourite.
But I’m a massive Pyramid Head fangirl, so I’m a little biased.
*drooldrool*
This is my new favourite comic. Ever.
EVA.
PH wants some of that…
And I want some of PH…
MAN i love pyramid man’s actions
“Check her out”
CROTCH GRAB
oral? V
THRUST HUMP
lol, made me chuckle MY MOUTH TO ASHES
Am LOVING this comic!XDXD
Oh my, PyramidHead….hitting on women who actually have a pulse now?XDXDXD
I wouldn’t have quite gotten the joke if it weren’t for my bf telling me that apparently you see a Pyramid Head -ahem- making love to a mannequin.
Rereading the archives and by damn, this is still my favorite strip.
I can’t stop laughing! this made my whole day <3 please make more pyramid head comics! :D
Featured on TV Tropes! =D
did he stick his toung out after touching himself? then he thrusted?
(O)o
Pyramid Head ♥. They Might Be Giants mentioned in the comments ♥. And I don’t even like hearts. <.<
OMG, IS ”PYRAMID HEAD” BARRY THE CHOPPER FROM FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST?!?
D8}
Oh god, I /just realized/ all the dirty things Pyramidhead is doing… grabbing his groin, that ‘oral sex’ indication with tongue and fingers, then hip thrusting and reaching for booty… how did I miss that the first five times?
