Asstronomus, the Jhonny Bravo of superheroes.. he still have more game than me tho.
the only girlfriend i ever had asked me out after i gave her a thoughtful birthday gift that even myself at that point didn’t have any idea why i had put so much effort into.
i’m that oblivious to relationship matters, yep, couldn’t figure out that i already liked the girl and was being nice with her unconsciously for quite a while
Well, at least that’s the reason they give. You never know. There are a lot of guys who don’t take no for an answer … think that any girl who isn’t interested in them is just playing hard-to-get. It doesn’t hurt for a girl to have a backup excuse to get rid of the idiots who won’t go away.
If a girl plays hard-to-get with me, she’s out of luck. I don’t chase.
“Oh, you’re not interested in me. Okay, bye.” That’s assuming that we don’t have enough in common that I would pursue a platonic friendship. Although, then again, I would only be romantically interested in a girl whom I would also be interested in as a platonic friend, so that makes the whole proposition kind of complex.
There are two girls whom I was interested in, at my atheist-church gathering sort of thing. I met their girlfriends later, so they clearly weren’t just using it as a blow-off line.
Working on it, man. The other lesbians don’t seem to be convinced. Hell, you can see me here. I don’t think they’re buying that the beard is just glandular, despite my long hair.
She looks physically strong, too. I’m hoping so because I’ve got all sorts of ideas running through my head as to what she could do to him in response to that line.
There are some heros who’ve been named but not seen, such as The Blonde Bombshell (although this one’s outfit doesn’t really match that handle). I’m wondering if The Lady Group is still looking for a blonde to round out their “diverse” roster…
I hope this one isn’t just a throwaway. If she’s a cognate/spoof of an existing character (as most of the LOSRH supporting cast is), I’m not recognizing who.
Nah, Tim the Enchanter is a saint compared to mother nature. Mother nature is one hellava nasty genocidal bitch. Man, if she fells like it she’ll drop a rock and shiv gank 90 percent of all species by burning up most of the planet. She caused six great extinctions. Ice ball earth anyone? Check. Super volcano to choke to death most of a continent? Check. Tsunami to wipe out most of the east coast of the US? No problem. Bury part of a continent under lava? Check. One nasty mass murdering annihilating slaughter nightmare.
Press the … title? I’m not seeing what you’re talking about. Could be browser-specific. I’m using Chrome on a PC, and it’s coming through an HTML5 player.
Are you working off of a mobile device or something? Those often work very differently, since they’re receiving calls from various apps that take over some functions.
Just my thought: she is surely THE Valkyrie (checked the English spelling, Old Norse: Valkyrija). And one of her interests (hint: Ass-tronomous, hint!) is mead and oddly designed drinking vessels. She probably also likes to drink in the skulls of her defeated foes (hint, or rather warning), you get to date her only if you die in heroic battle first (those are Odin’s rules, I didn’t write them, sorry Ass-tronomous).
Two pages ago I wanted to comment that Asstronomus isn’t really an ass. I should have being, because this strip prooves it. He is not an ass.
He is just a moron.
What’s the subtle difference between ass and moron? You know that, among other meanings, “ass” mean donkey and that’s why it’s said: “you are such an ass” (meaning: outright dumb). In non-US English the other meaning of “ass” is spelled “arse”. Asstronomous has a big ass (arse) but is also an ass (donkey, dumb, idiot, moron).
A moron has low intelligence. An ass, also known as an asshole, is … well, basically Asstronomus. In America, it doesn’t have anything to do with intelligence, or at least intelligence is a secondary, lesser attribute.
It’s a way of calling someone … not nice? A jerk? An idiot?
Basically, most insults like that are related to intelligence in their origin, but they aren’t used as such, anymore. They’ve morphed into comments on someone’s bad behavior, regardless of the cause, although low intelligence or ignorance could be a factor in the behavior.
In American English, the British meaning of that spelling (ass) is almost never used. The anatomical meaning has taken it over. Donkeys are just called donkeys.
You need to have it be some aggressive woman who wants to do things to him that he totally isn’t okay with, for it to be an effective lesson. Something like my joke about anal, further up in the comments.
I’m not even going to dinafy that with an anwser, just the mentatoire first comment :)
That’s quite an interesting spelling! Could it have been “mandatory”? I’m just curious now since it’s so weird looking.
Don’t forget the attempt at dignify.
And Laser Pony’s attempts at dignity.

And…
Next: she is a lesbian, so it really IS a common interest for them.
Sounds like half of the girls I’ve asked out.
Oh, going for the big xp challenge. I approve!

… so it’s either a common blow-off excuse, or I’m attracted to a lot of girls who end up being lesbians. I’m not quite sure what to make of that.
Clearly the answer is to become a lesbian yourself
Working on it, man. The other lesbians don’t seem to be convinced. Hell, you can see me here. I don’t think they’re buying that the beard is just glandular, despite my long hair.
Well… I DID say he needed a better pick up line…
This wasn’t what I meant…
I’ll start to use the boob line from now on.
You’re sure to get free drinks… thrown at you.

I really like the design of this (probably throwaway) female superhero; Very sexy while also being aesthetically pleasing and interesting.
She looks physically strong, too. I’m hoping so because I’ve got all sorts of ideas running through my head as to what she could do to him in response to that line.
“So, Asstronomus, with a name like that, you must be into anal.”
*30 minutes later*
“Nooooooooooooo!”
Does no one see the drinking HORN she’s holding? Obviously, she’s a Valkrye.
“I’m sorry, Mr…. Asstronomous? But I’m here to collect a dead warrior.”
“Me?”
“No, your pick-up line writer.”
It was a mercy killing, wasn’t it?
There are some heros who’ve been named but not seen, such as The Blonde Bombshell (although this one’s outfit doesn’t really match that handle). I’m wondering if The Lady Group is still looking for a blonde to round out their “diverse” roster…
I thought we saw her once? Am I just thinking of a similar character in another super-hero comic?
She’s probably known as Valkiria, just look at the exclusive design of the vessel she uses to drink, what is probably some sort of mead.
Ok, that is a very interestingly looking character. Is she a god from the Viking pantheon or a valkirie?
I hope this one isn’t just a throwaway. If she’s a cognate/spoof of an existing character (as most of the LOSRH supporting cast is), I’m not recognizing who.
Her? She’s just a 20th level druid that’s passing though.

Should a druid be playing with fire like that? Smokey would not approve.
Smoky would not, but fire is a part of nature ya know. Lightning fires, volcanoes, and meteors.
Sounds like that’s more the realm of Tim the Enchanter.

Well damn, that went poorly. I didn’t know it would do that. Just right-click the video and grab the URL, then pull it up in your browser.
You can also press the title up in the left of the video.

Heh. Yup. Thanks.
Or level 100 if using the WOW standards.

Asstronomus needs a cold shower. Luckily, Fuþark just happens to have control over the elements.
The female superhero reminds me of Kida from Atlantis: The Lost Empire
That’s the first thing that I thought of too.

He is just a moron.
The two aren’t exclusive, you know.
Asstronomus may be an asshole, but at least he’s not 100% a dick.

He should have lead with” I heard girls like you like dick, since i am the biggest dick in the bar we should hook up”
Know who IS a boob? That guy!
Asstro needs to get his ass to Japan.
Well, at least he’s consistent.
I had no idea the bar served things in horns..
At least is not a human skull.
Skull? Oh that’s the villain bar across the street.
Though the skulls are probably plastic and clear.
Someday, I wanna see a woman with similar personality come up to him and do that, just to find out how violated he’d feel on it.
You kidding? He’d lovee that!
Worth seeing!
You need to have it be some aggressive woman who wants to do things to him that he totally isn’t okay with, for it to be an effective lesson. Something like my joke about anal, further up in the comments.
I think even Johnny Bravo would be saying Ass is being an ‘Ass’ in his delivery.
<__>
I have to say… I really love the Super Reduntant character design!
The webcomic have fun and cool things… But you can find some hidden gold paying attention to the characters design :)
