Holy shit, Chase has never looked more menacing/disturbed. Scott, you’re doing a really good job of making my favorite protagonist come off as very evil, it’s a terribly good talent D:
Ctang
Noooooooooo I don’t want chase to be Templeton!
cypher20
I’m with you, making Chase pure evil would make me sad. I want more happiness, sunshine, and rainbows. And puppies, but not puppy grenades, regular puppies. Joking aside, let’s get good old Chase back.

Oh my god, this comic. I’ve been reading for a long time now and I check for updates every day hoping to see a new comic, but recently I’ve started to dread each comic because I don’t want Chase to do something he regrets. I see all the theories of Chase being Templeton and it makes me rather anxious for him. Thank you Scott for writing, in my not so humble opinion, one of the best comics out there.
Dead On Time
I can’t stand the suspense between updates times.

I know this is bringing up old stuff, but did you ever get around to posting that wallpaper with Negril and the rainbow? I’ve been looking for it, but I haven’t been able to find it anywhere. I even went back through the archives. Btw, your archives button isn’t working right. It might just be me. When it didn’t work for me, I just decided to go back through from the beginning again. Anyway, just checking. I can’t say it bothered me going back through the old stuff. You can really see the artistic improvements that have happened through the years. Keep up the good work Scott.

Monty kept the monster calm, Monty kept everything calm. But then you hurt Monty and the monster got out.

Chase’s deranged smile sent chills down my spine, and believe me… That’s a rare occurrence.
muahaha
it reminds me my smile when im thinking about revenge… my friends always tell me to stop it, but i cant help it… beside that… its kind of creepy that sometimes i make that face while sleeping…

Please, PLEASE let the imminent Monty glomp attack snap Chase outta his psychoBAMFness…

New theory. What if later in the series, Nerg separates Chase and monster Chase, creating two Chases. One good(who becomes human king), one evil(who becomes Templeton).
ReVo357912
This is the best theory I have heard so far!!!
It would explain why Templeton is blue skinned and the last human king still appears in a portrait.
Demonlogan
In which case, why is Templeton nigh-immortal considering it’s been so long since the human king’s time ‘ended’, and who was Templeton making passes at that rejected him and landed him attacking Grandda and Jarvis?
Donald Bethea
Perhaps Grandda is Chase, having changed over the years, and Templeton was hitting on Taryn. Or its the old evil lives long enough to come and try to use your descendants thing. That, or as one person mentioned, Nergil absorbing Chase, only instead, we apply this theory and he absorbs bad Chase and that creates Templeton.
Demonlogan
Interesting, interesting. Though in that case, one wonders how Chase got around to becoming a king with his ‘bad’ self still on the loose, or why said ‘bad’ self let them be long enough for them to procreate, but, if true, that’s something to be seen when it happens, if it happens.
That guy who does voiceovers!
Or maybe its … THE RETURN OF THE CARDIGAAAAAN!!! Dun Dun Dahhhh!
Demonlogan
Can’t tell from the shading who Monty’s jumping at, but from the promise of things coming soon… well, what was said was “more soon,” not “more humor soon,” so still can’t say.
… INTERESTING!!

Chase and Monty in the last panel is me with my cat, but that’s her when I get home.
Souffrir
Mrs. Mills, not to kick you while you’re down, but I think you may be a tad mistaken here. About everything. Ever.
Demonlogan
-just to shake the epileptictree-
So she’s wrong about beating Mr. Mills through sex?
korkman
Chase’s baptism is almost complete SOon. He’ll be known as Darth Templeton.
J. Spiszer
I hope you’re wrong. Chase is hard to picture as becoming totally evil, although it would force the scenes in his head to take a serious twist
Michael Fok
Wouldn’t be the first time gag strips have become canon in this comic, would it?
bazanathon
Damm. This comic got really dark really quickly :/
Where’d the lighthearted humor go?
Douglas Smith
Lighthearted humor? What comic have you been reading? It’s always been extremely black comedy.
Feneris
You know what, just to counter all the darkness, Chase just beat Mrs. Mills into unconsciousness. (She’s likely survived worse anyway.)
And Chase is about to get Monster Monty’s equivalent of a flying hug. (A one ton flying hug coming at him at seventy klicks per hour.)
Crestlinger
Lol Monty took the other guy’s moustache.
DAAAAAAAAVE
Because he was not worthy of such a NEAR-RAGESTACH!!!
