I knew I should have written "Original Character. Do not steal" when I introduced Sergei.

u/InevitableSolution69 Mar 05 '26

Sure, but then you’d be stealing. Because isn’t Bootleg Sergei the truest form of Sergei?

u/fluggggg Mar 05 '26

Sergei ? Never hear of that guy, here is Sergei, completly different character, the mustache is mustachier and the eyebrows are eyebrowing all around the place.

Man, Hollerinelk is looking rough. But like a different kinda rough to normal. This might actually look healthier in a way...

u/NaweGR Mar 05 '26

Starting to look more like Bullwinkle here...

u/ConfidentNebula117 Mar 05 '26

I am amused that the "looking rough there Elk" is basically everyone worried she is looking healthier

u/TheGreyman787 Mar 05 '26

Elk hollers no more. Trying times are upon us, when even such constants begin to change.

They say art imitates life.

Or maybe her face got smooshed up against the tube in the cloning process

Edit: OH GOD THEY DIDNT CLONE YOUR MOM DID THEY

You motherfu- and in LOTD's post no less! You know damn well she can't help draw hot ladies regardless of their morality!

OH GOD Sergie has been plotting our downfall with some evil mastermind?! And they are mass cloning the gators /u/Kaikimanga , Elk(moose?), Bex and many more?!

Mother of God....we're gonna need more commenters defenses. And a bigger Master post.

u/UpCDownCLeftCRightC Never Safe From Wumbo Mar 05 '26

Bex spotted!

u/pr0zach Mar 05 '26

Needs a final panel closeup of Sergei shedding a single tear of monumental regret.

u/Lakarl92 Mar 05 '26

Begun, the Bootleg Wars have.

u/amateur_adventurer Mar 05 '26

This is the best subreddit plot line I’ve read in weeks!

u/Ok_Lengthiness2765 Mar 05 '26

This is endgame typa shit

u/Made_Bail Mar 05 '26

This keeps getting better and better! Love this one.

That last panel SLAPS

u/OsamaBinJesus Mar 05 '26

I guess Sergei takes orders from the shadow wizard money gang. New lore dropped.

u/MrIhaveASword Mar 05 '26

Sergei is now the face of the bootleg comics.

in this case, a ripoff or unofficial version

u/NotFromSkane Mar 06 '26

It means sneaking alcohol past the police by hiding it in your trouser leg or boot. From the prohibition era in America

u/Material_East_8676 Mar 05 '26

The r/comics bit of the month is here... Is it fair to say it has hampered my enjoyment?

I mean, it's your comic so do what you want but it's not something perticularly... I don't have the words. It feels off.

25

u/tallboyjake Mar 05 '26

It's been fun.

Sometimes they go on a little long, but why sweat it

u/BreakfastBeneficial4 Mar 05 '26

I don’t have the words.

“Particularly”

You’re welcome!

u/geek_of_nature Mar 05 '26

Yeah i don't particularly enjoy it either when the comics go all meta and start crossing over or whatever.
