Hey Everyone!
The much fabled ‘fficial T-Shirt is revealed!
Something I really enjoy is using someone’s possessions to tell you about them as a person. We obviously try to surround ourselves with things we like and these choices reflects on us a lot, sometimes without us realizing it. I’ve often looked around my own home and wondered ‘If I died right now and a stranger walked in, what would they think about me just by observing my home? How much of it would be right?’.
I’ve had the unfortunate, but universal, experience of helping clean up the effects of a loved-one after they’ve passed. In that experience I learned things that I don’t think I would have ever learned in their life. I wanted to reflect a little bit of that with Vulture, while they all may be co-workers, there are some things that you might not necessarily share with people you work with, even if you really trust them.
Thanks for reading,
- Luther out
PS: The pre-cut hayseeds were Matt’s idea. I can’t take credit for that flash of brilliance.
PPS: This next page is turning out to be more complex than we had anticipated and will be late. Sorry about that, we’re really sure the next few pages are going to be worth it though so hang in there!
this left approves!
Nice touch, that little gas leak on that flamethrower. Adds to the tension, I expect.
Question: If they are ‘Southpaw’ and ‘Lefty’ . . . why is the one with the flamethrower using his right hand on the trigger / grip and his left on the handguard / pump-action bit? Normally you’d have the dominant hand in the controlling position. Or I’m missing something and lefty alludes to some other thing entirely.
“Southpaw” and “lefty” are both terms used for left-handed people. “Lefty” is also used to mean a hero’s “sidekick”. Handedness isn’t neccesarily something you need to keep to when handling a larger weapon, or when working with mechanical tools. If lefty is a mechanic (props to Ga’Tor for pointing out that it’s a bolt gun of sorts) then I’d suppose he slings the bolt gun over whichever arm is less tired at the moment, or whichever one allows him the better position for the task.
Both the Southpaw and Lefty are left handed, but your dominant hand doesn’t necessarily take the lead on everything. I’m left-handed myself and I both use a computer mouse and handle firearms right-handed. It all depends on how you learned.
PS: Nice catch on the double-meaning for ‘Lefty’ Plaintext!
@larel – Ah don’t think that’a a “flame thrower”. ‘Could be wrong, but I believe that’s a high velocity, rapid fire, bolt/rivet gun. Lookit the “bolts” on the ground, the feed hooper on top and that has to be a super bar compressed air tank. Also note the ‘,safety’ depression latch on the front which looks to have a manual release by the position of ‘Lefty’s hand.
Hrm, yeah I can see that being the case. I saw the feed tubes and tinted goggles and assumed it was some sort of oxy-acetylene monstrosity. Your interpretation probably makes more sense with what you mentioned and the fact that it has a pipe wrench and a . . . sight? Yeah, no one puts a gun sight on a flamethrower.
IT’S OFFICIAL
It’s more than Official. It’s ‘Fficial!
I’d buy that for a dollar!
