Ace goes Full Liquid Snake
November 29, 2015

Last week’s comic is in colour now too, I just had to get some real sleep this weekend or I was gonna die.
Manly Guys Doing Manly Things
Updated Mondays or whenever I feel like it
I really like the awesome vs awesome contest, and also the very mature and reasonable reaction of Jet.
Refreshing to see sensibility and humor going hand in hand.
Jet just took a big loss. The raptors aren’t “Jet’s clever girls” anymore…Now they’re “Ace’s clever girls.”
:D
Well, just as commander, being reasonable and mature is a requirement for the manliness
So tank is just big, not manly
I like how Ace is playing the heel in this scenario. It’s going to be fun watching how this all plays out.
If Ace is going all Liquid Snake, then who’s going to be Ocelot? I figure Commander will fill the Solid Snake role.
Clearly Jet is Solid Snake, since he’s catching the “I’m you, I’m your shadow!” bit.
Commander can be Solidus, I would totally vote for him to be president.
He’d certainly be a better adoptive dad to Jack.
Does that mean Jared gets to be Raiden?
That would fit Jared so well, you have no idea.
I’ll be the first to admit that I know very little about Metal Gear, but I have a hard time imagining Jared as a combat cyborg. Although I’m sure he’d love the idea. But only if Mr. Fish could be a cyborg too.
Mr. Fish can play the robot dog to Jared’s cyborg ninja.
Or seeing as Raiden and Snake are canon to this universe. More players I say!
So then I guess Tank gets to be Senator Armstrong?
Well, that didn’t work…

like they say: if you can’t beat them, join them.
time to put on a tux, Ace.
Uh… you mean Jet?
Ace needs his Super Tux.
Like from that Jackie Chan movie?
yes, i meant Jet, failed and typed the opposite name XD
I think I need a raptor talking plushie right now…
Wallets could be thrown at this idea. It would be dangerously cute if they made “wok-wok-woo!” noises. So cuddly!
I just in case; second, and third this motion and now charge Coelasquid with arduous task of having the raptor plushies made so that I may throw my cash laden wallet at her for one.
Agreed. I would love it, and I have a kid brother who’d love it, too.
They need armor and tuxes, too.
Ideas a-lot – dang, can’t make plushies T_T
But can try something on crochet *rummages for the yarn and needles*
Seriously. I would totally buy a Squishables style velociraptor designed by our esteemed artist, here.

Not bad, but fluffiness levels are only at 80% on that one.
Another subtle Jurassic Park delivery, cleaver girl.
…I never thought that I’d hear that line delivered with pathos.
Gasp! How’d I not pick up on that sooner!?
Damn. Ace is GOOD! No wonder Spider wanted him for the whatever job she wanted him for at this hotel.
Also, came up with a Theory. What if this island is actually Atlantis and that is why they use it for their survival games. If it gets sucked under the ocean never to be found it won’t matter what they do on it, because it will be completely wiped away.
It was probably more volcano than random sinking.
More like the land bridge to Ireland got flooded permanently.
I’m pretty sure It wasn’t in the Atlantic. Probably just an Island in the Aegean.
I prefer Baxter’s take on things.
But that would mean civilization started before the end of the ice age. I prefer that our current warm period allowed for cultures to develop.
Atlantic.
Atlantis.
… *Points*
Gasp! Prosciutto with bacconcini cheese! Vol au vent Alfredo! Ace you monster!
I bet he trained at least one of them to cook, too, so he can have a raptor restaurant in the hotel. Because that’s like just about the only thing that could be more awesome than a minibike-riding army of little neon fluffraptor waiters and service crew.
“Excuse me waiter this soup has a fly in it.. fetch me the chef..”
*Squawk*
*OH GOD NOT THE FACE!*
Bring Gordon Ramsey. And let the games begin.
I would pay good money to watch this.
You mean Gordon Raptorsay?
OMG! Imagine if that became a THREE WAY contest!

There will be much jumping on steak.
I have no idea what just happened.
Same here. It’s another in-joke in this series that I just don’t get.
His velociraptors were turned against him and dressed up in little suits, it’s not really an in-joke.
Well, the raptors are girls right? and Ace is just…well, that’s Ace!
;)
Their gender doesn’t matter. Ace attracts all.
Hell, I’m a straight male and I’d get with Ace.
Would senpai ever notice us though.
I don’t either. I just tell myself:
Ace just managed to use super-speed to dress up raptors in little tuxes and train them to serve Hors D’oeuvres which one-ups the radness of teaching them to wear armor and ride bikes.
…………
THIS IS THE GREATEST COMIC EVER!!!
Time travel shenanigans?(Would explain how Ace pulled that off…)
The game has now been updated from Armored Fluffy Raptors riding Minibikes, to Fluffy Raptor Butlers.
They make one hell of a staff.
“Bulter. Get me some Caviar.”
“Wok wok!”
I don’t know how Coelasquid does it…I just can’t figure out how she can combine Super-Macho & Super-Squee in the same comic & make it WORK so well.
???
They just need to learn a Children’s Card Game and we’re all set!
… what the feth?!?
Dammit Squid, you managed to actually surprise us. Here we were, all excited to have seen the Fluffy armored Fatbird raptors on minibikes, being only slightly (and I do mean slightly) disappointed that it was too expected (still awesome but we regretted asking for it too much). Turns out you delivered that which was foreshadowed and begged for by the readers… then managed to surprise us with more goofy awesomeness.
The plot thickens – and I must admit I really did not see a reversal coming. Turns out the best gifts are the surprises after all! Lesson learned and filled for later application IRL.
Kudos
Anyone else getting Metal Gear Solid vibes?
You may wish to check the alt text, my friend.
Oh no, the raptors have a new alpha!
Ahhh! They’re tiny maitre d’s! I can’t take this level of adorable!
This is beautiful you are beautiful how why- ours not the question why, ours but to smoosh our own faces at the things on our screens.
Oh my god!!! So adorable!!!! I think Ace just won. No one could possibly beat this. Unless..Maybe there really are Walrus Selkies and Commander went under water to call them to arms!
I thought they couldn’t get any cuter… and yet the sixth panel exists.
Jets eye reminds me of adult Enzo from reboot.
Moreso now that it’s gold.
Wow, so, a bunch of people called it. Kudos to all of them. Loving this, by the way.
No Ace!! What have you done!?!?!?
Only thing that could make it worse for Jet is the raptor squad suddenly start squeaking with a British accent
So… did you actually see it coming or did Coelasquid take the idea for the raptor hotel staff? :P
It has been proven that animals have accents, maybe they have always had English accents and nobody has noticed because how many raptor squads are out there.
Blackie back at the ”Ace enters the fry” comic (October 8, 2015) correctly guessed that the raptors would join the hotel staff xD
Heck yes I did! Didn’t think anyone would notice. Thanks!
Still holding out for them to do the chorus on Ace’s performance of “Be Our Guest” though.
YOu keep making the little Raptor’s cuter! my heart can’t take it!!!
It’s in Color now! More… adorable..I can’t..-dead-
Uh oh…another “Death by Squee.”
BRRRRRROTHER!
I just hope the next few pages are Ace hammin’ it up.
So, was this always in the plan, or did the first comment from the last one give you a brainblast?
I must have totally brainblanked because I completely missed that someone suggested that even though it was right at the top of the page.
Well played, Ace. Well played!
Ok, I love you, it’s official. But now I need fattest pidgeon vs adoraptor :D
AWWWW!!! TINY FEATHERY RAPTORS IN TUXEDOS!! OH I WANNA HUG THEM AND SQUEEZE THEM AND CUDDLE THEM AND I’ll probably lose a finger or two BUT AWWW I CANNOT RESIST THEM!
If you have to lose fingers, try to make it the pinky fingers…Most biologists agree that those are the most useless and most ignored fingers that humans have.
I… don’t even know what to say, apart from the guess that Spider and Ace may have this one in the bag because fluffraptor hoteliers are gonna be REALLY hard to beat. That, and the others have no idea still, so how are they going to counter that?
…how DO you counter that?
Shit, I just realized: awesome contests are how these people fight their wars. This is basically war games for these people!
The best type of war games since no one dies!
…Except the animals, but hey, “circle of life”, and I’m pretty sure they use all of what they kill.
Eh, they made those people with science. They can just make more animals.
Oh man I am very impressed. I didn’t think anyone could be as awesome as all that but not only awesome team and make them more often he did it while distracting the head of the team. Extra points for being clever ace extra points.
I’ve been wanting to post on this all day but my mind has been to blown…
There isn’t a single thing about this I DON’T love
I wouldn’t mind knowing where the armor went. And the minibikes too, I guess.
Come to think of it, did Jet build the minibikes on-site or bring them? What rules govern what equipment can be brought to the island?
Is there any point in trying to regulate equipment when several members are literally 90% robot? I mean Spider built a hotel with her own hands, at that level tool regulation is pretty much pointless.
Panel 6 is the best thing ever.
Fluffy feather-raptors in tuxedos.
Plus use of the word ‘bespoke’.
Large Ham incoming! I imagine Ace with a booming, theatrical voice at the moment, especially with that dashing arm sweep.
Goddammit, Velociraptors, stop being so friggen adorable!!
(Don’t actually, though)
This page is making me even hungrier.
All the raptors are girls!?!! This makes them even better! Jet has a flock of fluffy, pudgy ladies!
This just got really weird.
Just when you thought the raptors couldn’t get any more adorable, now they’re wearing tuxedos…
Those last two panels are the face of a man whose children are so squee and he is so proud.
In the previous page’s comments, someone suggests one goofy idea that could happen much later. Turn to the next page and IT HAS ALREADY HAPPENED!! This is comic is just too great…
Oh no, oh no oh no oh no, they are so cute, they’re wearing tiny suits and they’re fat and they’re so cute
Hope you had a good holiday!
Now all we need is them to act out this scene from Mary Poppins”
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MCWjGMetU0E
MAKE A T-SHIRT OF THEM
Come to the dark side, we have hors d’oeuvres.
I feel like I’m watching Liquid Snake vs sober Demoman
AAAAAACCKK!!! The Raptors! They are in tuxedos and carrying hors d’oeuvres!
It’s so cute! I’m melting I’m meeeellllting!!!!
Oh, what a comic, what comic…
Black Raptor Butlers?
SO. DAMN. ADORABLE.
Okay this just might be the cutest plot twist ever.
Every time I think nothing can top what I’ve seen, something even greater happens.
I love the randomness. Reminds me of some of the strange Saturday morning cartoons I watched as a teenager.
Hey Coela, is there a way to search through the comics by character?
there are usually tags for non-OCs, but I’ve never actually clicked through them to see if there’s an archive behind it. If you’re looking for Coela’s OCs though you may be out of luck.
Itty bitty battle budgie butlers!
this just keeps getting better and better. From a team of feathery colorful velociraptors stealing stuff, to them riding out on minibikes, and now this? A hotel with velociraptor maître d’s?.
I love that Jet is tearing up in response to his loss, but is still being as supportive as possible to his beloved raptor babies.
I believe we all know what must come next, the only logical conclusion is that the minibikes have to either become little robot partners to the budgie raptors or they transform into power armor coverings for them…and this power armor must also be adorable
I so want a round plushy of the raptors. So cute.
RULES OF NATURE
Everybody wins with adorable velociraptor butlers.
The cute
It burns
But in a good way
<3
So cute <3
They’re so adorably posh.
All right, I am NEVER gonna be one of those people who’s like “BUT WHY IS IT NOT IN COLOR YET?” but DAMN the color on this looks good. That first panel of Jet in shadow is so awesome.
I am a Shadow the True Self.
…………BROTHER! GUNS OF THE PATRIOTS! METAL GEAR! PERSONA!
I was thinking 46 and 2…

Ace, you fool! The raptors are on Jet’s team, by putting them in little butler outfits and teaching them to carry hors d’ouevres their awesomeness has gone through the charts, ensuring your defeat!
I can’t tell you how much I love the fatbird raptors. I love everything about this comic, but the fatbird raptors . . . . damn. It just really takes it to the next level of awesome.
not even going to lie i also teared up when they were in the suits. Jet’s eye reminds me of Saito’s eye. Looks awesome.
I like it. Was Jet technically on Jonsey’s team too? I’m interested to see the outcome here.
…And now I can’t make Ace *not* sound like Cam Clarke in my head. I have no idea if anyone has ever mentioned what he was supposed to sound like, but to me he’s now English-accented Cam Clarke.
I can’t quite say why, but I find this whole scene oddly touching for some reason. maybe it’s just seeing two close friends/siblings playing around with each other?
Yanno Jones said Rock was the group’s Jared but Jet’s gunning for the position too lol
