I keep seeing these ads for the latest Professor Layton game (Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box) that are posted in the NYC subway. There’s a tv version too, maybe you’ve seen it. They’re all close ups of women making dumb faces while they concentrate on the game. The tagline is “The satisfying, infuriating, satisfying again puzzle-solving game.”
Somebody posted this video of the subway ads on Kotaku.








awesome third face
She looks a bit….obsessed…
Also what game is she playing?
Thanks for the comments! She’s playing Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box on the Nintendo DS. There’s an explanation for those who haven’t seen the Layton ads under the comic.
I have the strange notion that i will wear a mask when ever I play this game, that way no one can see the faces. That is IF i decide to get it, I have an unusual joy of killing animated creatures and puzzle-solving games usually don’t cut it.
Great expressions!
Mary your comics need to come with a warning:
Warning!! Not responsible damages or messes caused by side splitting or gut busting laughter.
Awesome comic as always!
Hehe thanks guys! @Ishnai: Yeah, there’s really no killing of animated creatures in Professor Layton. There is however a lot of beautiful animation.
Nice work . Ilove the faces.
