Title: A very BP comic
Post by: The E on March 13, 2014, 04:12:40 am: This turned up in my twitter feed. It is not at all related to BP, except on a thematic level, which is why I thought I'd link it here:

I often wonder how combatants feel once the adrenaline and euphoria of victory has died down. Would the see and respect the comradeship of their defeated foes? Would they only feel hatred and dispair at having to kill them. Would they feel scorn that they did not surrender when they had a chance?

Spoiler:
As a UEF supporter I hope that this is thematic level is in reference the ending of Delana est Carthage and not the end of act 5 :confused: :shaking:

A lot of 2000AD comics dealt with similar issues. They might be hard to find online though as most were written in the 80s

Post by: QuakeIV on January 21, 2021, 10:35:35 pm: me, an intellectual, who immediately proceeded to check every comic until i found it

http://www.viruscomix.com/page541.html

i was actually also trying to re find this as well (and didnt remember the artists name, or the fact that i originally found it here) so i am not completely insane

e: me, an even bigger intellectual, who after doing this realised that the images link to the comic lmao

Cool, I guess.
