FIX’D
(with apologies to Spike, who found this, and to Aaron Diaz, whose comic I stole to tell my joke)
Guys, this is how a meme starts. I CALL UPON YOU.
gary you are fighting a losing battle against girl smooches
To be fair, comic books were invented only 15 years before Gary was born. He can’t be blamed for not knowing about them.
Am I doing it right. Also I could swear this comic is online at gocomics.com which is arguably the largest webcomic hub in the world.
*edit http://www.gocomics.com/doonesbury/2013/02/02 ahaha its online and in color.

HI GUYS! I’m really excited to announce that my webcomic Olympus Overdrive is now live! I’ve been keeping this a secret up until now and I can’t wait for you all to read it! The comic itself is gonna be delivered through flash, IM format and animated sequences, as well as obviously old school comic format. SO GO TAKE A READ!
LKDFJSGKFS I’m really really excited and I hope you will all like it, i’ve worked really hard on it! Signal boosts are appreciated to spread the word! And I’ve started a tumblr blog for it here!
This is a comic I’m helping write. :o
science bros.
There are no words to describe my feelings about this relationship. But I’m going to try.
First of all, their parallels. Both geniuses, top of their field. Both suffered an accident that physically changed them, forever, and not in a wholesome Spider-Man kind of way. Both try to do what they can to help others despite their own issues; Banner heals people, Tony works on developing clean energy. And both struggle, in their own way, with duality; Tony and Iron Man, Bruce and the Hulk. Two identities, one body. Only difference is Iron Man’s bad side is Tony.
I mentioned somewhere that Tony sees a bit of himself in Banner because they both have a monster inside them that they can’t control, a creature that springs fully formed from the id, the base impulses and the nasty stuff at the back of the mind. Bruce’s is a giant green rage monster. Tony’s trashed a party in Iron Man 2. Banner has a control over his that Tony hasn’t quite achieved yet; don’t think I didn’t notice Tony pouring himself a whiskey when confronting Loki. Tony is envious, fascinated, and most of all, impressed by Bruce’s control.
So he doesn’t walk on eggshells around Bruce like the others, because that’s not what Bruce needs. Tony sees Bruce’s restraint, sees the quiet, brilliant man making self-deprecating jokes in the corner of the room, sees the way people look at him like he’s going to snap any second, and thinks “nope”. Tony does what no-one else aboard that Helicarrier does. He trusts him. He makes jokes and jabs him and teases him and above all, treats him exactly how he would treat anyone else— he has a great regard for Bruce’s brilliance, and tells him so, but he doesn’t try to ignore the Hulk in the room. When he says “wow, you’ve really got a handle on this, haven’t you?” he’s not saying “gosh, it’s incredible you haven’t snapped yet and killed everyone on board” he’s saying “I know you have a handle on this, you wouldn’t be here if you didn’t, so I’m gonna poke you with this sharp object to prove it”. And you can see Bruce relax, and smile, and trust him back.
But then Tony goes even further, and invites Bruce to come to his R&D department. I’m pretty sure the two of them drive off together in Tony’s car at the end of the movie to do just that. And, okay, sure, Bruce is smart, but Tony’s tech is his baby. How many people get invitations to come and see his work? He invites Bruce because he recognises his brilliance, yes, but there’s another reason. He’s inviting Bruce to come down and work with him after this is over. He’s giving Bruce something to do next, a purpose, an alternative to disappearing into the ether to be alone with his monster. Tony knows from experience that being alone with your issues doesn’t end well, so for what’s only the third time in his life he extends the hand of friendship to a guy he’s known barely an hour.
And then, he tells Bruce to let the beast loose. Not just because they need him to fight, but because it will help him. If Bruce can take this thing that he sees as a curse and turn it into a gift, well, that’s going to lift him out of a very dark place. I’m not saying Tony knew about Bruce’s attempted suicide, but I think he had a suspicion that Bruce had been, in his words, “low”. So he encourages Bruce to take all that crap and pain and the Other Guy and use him to help people; after all, that’s what he did.
And it pays off. Nobody— nobody— thinks Bruce is going to turn up for that final battle. You can see the look on Natasha and Steve’s faces when Tony asks if Bruce turned up yet. They’ve counted Bruce out. Guy’s a mess, right? He’s too volatile. Doesn’t play well with others. He could never work as part of a team. No-one thinks he’ll come through when it matters. Except Tony. He has faith in him, and that faith is rewarded. It’s no wonder the Hulk is the one to catch Tony. Tony’s the one who helped let him out. He’s just returning the favor.
I just have a lot of feels
I ship these two so hard! First time ever I shipped real life people before O.O.
I mean COME ON! They drive away together at the end!
Beautifully put! *Applauds.*
I don’t ship them though, bromance only. :)
Oh god I need to see this movie even if it is annoyingly long lines. TAKE MY MONEY

REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD AGAIN HELP GUNNERKRIGG COURT WIN A THING
- The author of Goblins is literally just bribing his fans for votes instead of voting on merit. He pretty much only won the last round because the author of…
Please do not let gunnerkrigg loose to that comic. That author’s entire comic is geared to pavlov levels of voting with his fans.
Also gunnerkrigg is a lot better. http://flakypastry.runningwithpencils.com/ Read this comic if you want goblins.
I just got down here to Austin and don’t really know anyone so I’m gonna have a meetup and see who’s around here :)
It will take place on the 16th of December, as we’ll be meeting up at my dorm and then taking a headcount before deciding what to do. More the merrier.
Most likely we’ll be just hanging around and going to Zilker for Christmas fun and stuffs. Unless we get like 50+ people showing up after we chill for a few hours i’ll be having a nic cage christmas marathon.
I’ll also be thinking about heavily subsidizing food expenses so we can go somewhere dam expensive =D unless a lot of people come then we’re gonna flood burgerking.
Cosplay is accepted and encouraged, this will be an all day affair so arrive early as well as email me ahead of time at tautologicaly@gmail.com or through tumblr so I can get a head count.
I do have contingency plans to be announced if this gets out of hand.
LETS BE SANTA-
p.s thanks to atomic for help with the poster.
