Gasp! She broke the bottle with her mind powers! She broke the beer bottle! With the beer still in it! WITH! THE! BEER! STILL! IN! IIIIIIIT! *faints from not breathing*
*Brings both an oxygen can and an beer can for wrong wolf*
*Takes out also a brown paper bag… with something stronger than beer, just in case…*
What? How else did you expect me to use the brown paper bag?
I thought this was Josie’s kid, for a minute, before I remembered that Josie’s daughter is older and that this one was specifically referred to as Mama-man’s kid.
Now that you mention it, the one in the Inredibles propably had a easy.
But as luck would have it 2/3 of the population are supers themself. So your babysitters have a decent chance to be equipped for it.
It must be similar. I’m pretty sure that Mary Sue was a babysitter too and that’s why she became one of the best champions of Shitropolis. She had lots of training with super tantrums.
Well, in any superhero genre, the main focus will be on the supers in the world, regardless of the actual percentage of super powers showing up among the overall population. Trying to figure out the population percentage of superheroes in this particular world would be…um…redundant.
There’s also the issue about what sorts of powers the average super has. In Marvel’s universe, mutants with any sort of useful mutation are pretty rare. Most mutants just have funny-colored skin, a super immune-system that can get over a cold or the flu within a few hours, or something similarly useless in a criminal or crime-fighting capacity.
Nice to encounter some parents who don’t aggressively gender their children before puberty. My brother-in-law and my sister are horrible about this, pushing the narrative about my twin niece’s and nephew’s personalities and identities.
My nephew is a big, tough man, ready to go out and take over the world. My niece is daddy’s sweet, little princess. Despite their parents’ best attempts, my nephew is shy as hell and likes to play around with his sister’s kitchen set. My niece is far more outgoing and aggressive.
Surely I’m not the only one wondering how Laser Pony even knew Keith had a bottle, or that the baby was breaking bottles and not anything remotely glass, right?
Keith didn’t see it coming either. Technically, neither did Laser Pony; speaking of which, how did LP know that Keith was holding a *glass* bottle in the first place?
Reminds me of a recent joke on a podcast I listen to, which reviews horrible movies. There was a deaf actress/character in the movie.
“And for the rest of this podcast, we’re going to be making the most offensive deaf-person jokes we can come up with. Do you think we’re gonna to lose listeners or something?”
Yeah, each of the writers maintain their own separate, usually-alternating story-lines. They coordinate major events, such as Eva-and-Alex/LP-and-Mary-Sue dating and developing relationships, but they each go their own way with the aspects of the relationship that they’re going to focus on.
just had a thought (something I try not to do since it makes my brain hurt), if 1/3 of the population are supervillains and 1/3 are superheroes, that means there’s only a limited number of people the supervillains can kidnap and hold hostage. so any plain which requires the kidnapping of a large number of people will require phoning around to check if any other villain has plain to kidnap anyone on a certain day and if so who (it can be annoying if you’ve plained to kidnap the chief commissioners daughter, only to get their and discover some villain on the other side of the city kidnapped her half an hour ago)
That’d be awful. Can you imagine the comments from the peanut gallery?
“Is this gonna take long? I got a bank heist in half an hour!”
“You’re complaining? Me and the nemesis had plans to team up to fight the bigger enemy today! You got any idea how hard it was to fit in the schedule? We hardly get any facetime lately.”
“Gentlemen, and ladies, please. I know it ranks to be caught in such an amateurish display of villainy, but do have some regard for the newbie.”
That’s… a pretty valid reason.
…this city…
Nice place to visit…..
You have failed it
Was built on Rock and Roll…
Shall doom us all if it hasn’t already.
she’s been dead for years now…
for years now.
Now working part-time as your hardcase Alcoholics Anonymous monitor.
Keith’s new nemesis in the making.
Gasp! She broke the bottle with her mind powers! She broke the beer bottle! With the beer still in it! WITH! THE! BEER! STILL! IN! IIIIIIIT! *faints from not breathing*
That was, indeed, tragic. Clearly, Keith should switch to cans.
*Brings both an oxygen can and an beer can for wrong wolf*
*Takes out also a brown paper bag… with something stronger than beer, just in case…*
What? How else did you expect me to use the brown paper bag?
Gasp! Alcohol abuse!
I thought this was Josie’s kid, for a minute, before I remembered that Josie’s daughter is older and that this one was specifically referred to as Mama-man’s kid.
Well, it is nice to know.
Babysitter must be actually one of the most dangerous professions of this city.
Now that you mention it, the one in the Inredibles propably had a easy.
But as luck would have it 2/3 of the population are supers themself. So your babysitters have a decent chance to be equipped for it.
Yes but what percentage of them are superheros like Lazer Pony
It must be similar. I’m pretty sure that Mary Sue was a babysitter too and that’s why she became one of the best champions of Shitropolis. She had lots of training with super tantrums.

I knew it was a Girl. Her eyes told me. And she has telekinetic powers, how sweet. She Looks good in blue.

Well, did you REALLY think Mama-Man would settle for minding NORMAL babies?
It probably didn’t take very long to decide to switch to *plastic* bottles for the baby’s feeding time…
Well, that’s one way to speak her mind out against alcoholic beverages.
She is a child. The contents of the sounds she makes do not mater that much yet.
Please… I repeat: Please DO NOT take that baby to a trip to the aquarium!
I still want a few strips where LP and/or GG has to babysit both this baby and the demonic baby (the daughter of the witch frenemy of Bucky)
They should do a strip that shows both coming back from the future, be interesting to see if they become hero’s or villains
Better yet: Antiheroes!
And antivillains!
An antihero and an Antivillain who are roommates
Surely I’m not the only one wondering how Laser Pony even knew Keith had a bottle, or that the baby was breaking bottles and not anything remotely glass, right?
Not that it matters, but just wondering.
LP probably knew Keith had a bottle because he heard him drinking from it. (Or heard him open it.)
…Or the fact that LP just knows Keith that well…
…Or the fact that Keith is doing exactly what he does everytime he’s at home…
I’m with Pablo on this one on that he just Assumed Keith was drinking.
I had the same thought and considering his general lack of heightened senses otherwise, how did he know?
Speaking of enhanced senses, maybe LP smelled the beer (either from the bottle or Keith’s breath)?
Gunther! No!
Why did I see an Adventure Time joke coming?
O.O honest to god and with everything we know about the series…i didn’t see that coming…
Keith didn’t see it coming either. Technically, neither did Laser Pony; speaking of which, how did LP know that Keith was holding a *glass* bottle in the first place?
A) Keith was drinking from a bottle
B) Beer comes in glass bottles
C) If Keith is drinking is obviously beer
A+B+C= Keith was holding a glass bottle
Not all beer comes in bottles.

“And for the rest of this podcast, we’re going to be making the most offensive deaf-person jokes we can come up with. Do you think we’re gonna to lose listeners or something?”
It takes skill for your hand not to bleed
That must be Keith’s Superpower
Who was watching the baby while LP was clearing up the name change
Different author means different period of time/different continuity. Pretty sure, anyway.
Yeah, each of the writers maintain their own separate, usually-alternating story-lines. They coordinate major events, such as Eva-and-Alex/LP-and-Mary-Sue dating and developing relationships, but they each go their own way with the aspects of the relationship that they’re going to focus on.

Kidnap all the other villains
That’d be awful. Can you imagine the comments from the peanut gallery?
