#0159 Shifty

Sketch

Transcript:
“Panel 1: Lisa is back at her desk at work.
Lisa: Another day at work. At least there’s not crazy drama here like there is at home.
Panel 2: Patrick leans in on her desk.
Patrick: Listen, Green Eyes. I know you’re a hardcore nerdastic MMO gamer.
Panel 3:
Lisa (surprised): You do?
Patrick: Yeah. I saw you looking at WoW.com and Massively during lunch. And I know you don’t want anyone to know because you’re always self-conscious and shifty.
Panel 4:
Lisa (annoyed): I’m not shifty!
Patrick: So here’s the deal. I’ll keep your secret…
Panel 5:
Patrick: If you give me 50,000 in game gold.”

  1. Marzim

    I KNEW IT!!

  2. Kazira

    :O
    I’d rather let him tell everyone….

  3. Flo

    they should blackmail each other.

  4. Delakando

    Yep, point it out to the entire class, report him for trying to blackmail you, then CAMP his -ss in game!

  5. Carlinman

    CAMP HIM!!! GANK HIM!!!

  6. MasonG

    I wish i had 50,000 gold ingame…

  7. Bloodroar

    Don’t do it! That’s more gold than I’ve had my hands on in my entirety of WoW playing. Besides, can’t she bribe him with an iPad? ;)

  8. Kaelqu

    I knew he was mean! She does have beautiful green eyes though =)

    I agree with Bloodroar, thats more gold then I’ve probably ever had and there’s no way I could make that much gold without using real life money and that’s just wrong!

    She should just tell everyone, gaming is nothing to be ashamed of. Embrace it ^_^

    • James

      Kaelqu Im getting more and more suspicious that your Maryvarn in disguise

  9. Columbina

    Someone is shifty here, but it’s not Lisa. I think Kendra is going to intervene and kick Patrick’s butt.

  10. Random guy

    I see a connection with this comice and the one before it >_> cats get alot of gold from gold farming and a guy needs gold >_> ??? <_<

    • Eirik

      … only when their iPads run out of power. Purrrr…. warm….

  11. Kazira

    oooh i cant wait to see the next strip

  12. psibr

    I am finding this arc very funny. Sadly.. with a very funny bit of irony.. right under this comic on my RSS reader was an add for a gold seller. /palmface

    • maryvarn

      Aw crap! Thanks for the heads up. I try to stamp out the gold-selling ads, but unfortunately there doesn’t seem to be a way to do it preemptively. I’m reviewing the ads now, hopefully I’ll catch it…
      But that is kinda funny it showed up on this comic. :)

  13. Eirik

    Hmm… To answer the question, I think the artist rendered the character in the same clothes to ensure she was recognizable. Yep, definitely. Uh huh! … same for “Patrick” – if that’s his real name.

    I think Patrick is putting himself in a bad place… He’s a supervisor (or something), established in his position. She’s a newb in the company. They’ve both got decent wow accounts. He could cost her the job (ouch), she could cost him his job AND his wow account. All it takes is one upper management type who games….

  14. xaverius

    wow – what a jerk

    yeah the cats could totally bribe him off with an iPad. Especially since someone’s been very hard at work trying to get WoW to play on it.

    That being said, bribing him now will only mean that he feels he can continue this trend later on – better she lets everyone know herself :)

  15. Cyberweasel

    I bet the kitties will be happy to camp his punk -ss for some fresh organ meat….

  16. Mojaru

    I has to be said…

    Fifty mother fscking thousand! Omg that’s a lot

  17. Dan

    Just get the cats to start farming gold again, it will be their punishment for the Ipad scandal

  18. Walia

    Ohh, I want to see the cats get him over this. REVENGE!

  19. Majutsukai

    I hope she refuses and it gets exposed and NOBODY CARES.

  20. Azarizotza

    Oh so it was blackmail! ….just a different type….

  21. johnandrebutler

    KHARMA-RIFFIC!
    I’m ok with this, that’s what she gets for extorting her friend’s boyfriend, back when she got her addicted to WoW.

  22. Gary

    hehe, now you know that he is a gamer, and can blackmail him right back :)

  23. Wasabi

    noob boss

  24. tuxcayc

    Just finished all the episodes! Great webcomic, i love it. I’d love my cats could play any mmo. hah, anyway.
    Can’t wait for the next one.
    Bye!

    • maryvarn

      Thanks! Glad you like it. :)

  25. Lisa

    Ha! Hope she plans on kickin’ his *ss!

    Also, yeah, there’s a gold seller add in my RSS feed, muckin’ up my day, too @psibr
