Also, I absolutely love the juxtaposition of Chase and his emotions. Aaaaand pretty much everything else you’ve done with Nerf This. Favorite! Comic! EVAR!!
The final panel is an excellent example of the distillation of your skill, Scott. The angle, shading, and highlights truly are amazing! Keep up the good work!
I want Taryn’s father to see this. He needs to be there with his jaw dropped open, lol
Then, later, he’ll have to grudgingly give Chase some respect.. oh, the hilarity of his shame, when Chase boldly embarks upon his usual dapper shenanigans.
Even if the above doesn’t happen:
AWESOME STRIP OF AWESOMENESS.
he should being doing more then saying “EGADS”….. like going through a list of necromancy spells or something…
LOVE Chase by the way, and Repressed Rage too
Four things happened when I saw this. First, I pissed myself when I saw repressed rage. Second, I shit myself when I saw Chase’s expression. Third, I laughed when I saw Nergil’s reaction. Finally, I cried when I realized WHY Chase when psycho, which is that Monty died. All of this happened in about 1.2 seconds.
I haven’t commented in awhile. I like to sit back and watch. Totally not as creepy as that sounds.
It’s insane to see how deep this has gone from inception. I love how everything ties in and the way you paint the overall picture is incredible. Absolutely amazing.
does anyone else notice the shard of chase’s “shield” in his other hand? also i have to admit i love the way Scott portrayed the snap most people who are calm and seemingly harmless normally become psychopathic killers when they do snap keep up the great work
actually berserkering would apply to any opponent and therefore be a bit better in a fight. Bear murderology is a specialized class, as the lessons are only applicable to bears.
Guys, Repressed Rage or not, don’t forget one very important thing… this is Chase we’re talking about. He can *still* find ways to get his ass kicked. 😉
Wow… Just… Uh… I guess Repressed Rage epically Wins… Can’t wait to find out what happens to Nirgil, eh? How will RR handle the wizard? Fisticuffs? Or pure, gratuitous, and unadulterated violence?
You know, I don’t think many people think Nergil ate Monty. I thought that at first, and thought “Well… He… ate him?” But then I see these reactions. And then I can see why people thought Monty’s dead.
… Please, please, oh please tell me he’s not dead. He can’t be dead! He’s a main character! Main Characters never die!
Main characters die all the time the main cause being heroic self sacrifice. Does this mean Monty goes to fictional character heaven with Obi wan, Brom and all other self sacrificing people?
Chewbacca had a moon land on him and died
The Flash Died
Superman has Died
The original batman has Died
Tony Stark Died
The Green Lanterns Die
Noble team Dies
Dante died
the guy from Red Dead Redemption Died
Aeris Died
Main characters die all the time 😛
no, Chewbacca is clearly dead 😛
and Aeris…
and that red dead guy…
and noble team xD
comic book characters seem to come back…unless they are a cylon, then theres lots of them
*ahem* AWWWW SHIT! Nergil started some shit that he won’t be able to finish! Scott you’re amazing with the way you portray Chase’s mental status snapping like a guitar string.
The military has a phrase that i think is most applicable to Nergil, that phrase is, “Don’t hand out checks that your ass cant cash.” And Nergil your bank account is overdrawn…

(see what I did there? shits funny) GO CHASE!
Don’t know if you’d be interested in this but as you know comics seem your thing as well as the Dapper gentlemen but this years Eisner awards included Return of the Dapper Men. A worthy read.
Is it weird to have a crush on Chase? Because I think I might. (Actually I am a Nergil all the way girl, but when guys like Chase snaps it shows a certain quality I have to admire. And it’s okay that you guys might think I’m a creeper. I kinda am.)
Haven’t posted here before, but… this gives me good reason to! I love the whole “processing station” concept (complete with misspelled sign), and Repressed Rage’s debut is nothing short of awesome – especially his physical manifestation in the last panel! I want a poster of that last panel!
I even wanted to drop a modest Paypal donation (modest mostly due to lack of funds) but see no such button 🙁
you can always go to his book fund raiser here: http://www.indiegogo.com/Nerf-This. you don’t have to meet any of the price points, as I believe it details in the instructions.
I have to say from the bottom of my heart that even if you liked nothing else about this comic, reading the entire thing was made worth it by this single page. I applaud you Scott.
…. first? Haha, but no. HO. LY. CRAP. A combination of pure emotion and repressed rage? YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-hckkkk, cckk… -decapitated-
His little best friend through thick and thin just got vaporized to save him, Chase might even have a chance against Mr. Mills while hes in that possessed homicidal state.
Seriously, I can not wait for the next page where Nergil gets the shit beaten out of him.
Btw, is Chase holding a large stick in his left hand? :O
Discussion (134) ¬
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY repressed rage FINALLY
Not really ‘repressed’ anymore.
First.
Nergil’s response is just Perfect. Egads indeed sir. indeed.
Sadly… you’re second 😀
Rage hath been unleashed D<
FIRST
Repressed rage is my favourite emotion
Hate to break it to ya, but you’re third :/
I think Repressed Rage is my new favorite character…..NNNNNNNNNNUURRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!
DAMMIT
I took too long…
That made me LOL xD
Is this the end of the emotions, or are we getting a Twilight Zone “Time Enough at Last” script next lol.
I believe logic died before, but came back. I assume they are immortal.
Repressed rage looks so happy tossing those severed heads in the air.
Hah! “first” fails!
Also, I absolutely love the juxtaposition of Chase and his emotions. Aaaaand pretty much everything else you’ve done with Nerf This. Favorite! Comic! EVAR!!
“First!” Fails are the best :> It’s quite sad, actually…
YAAAH! Go Chase GO!
Very well done. Best parts are Repressed Rage and the heads, and Chase’s glowing eye of doom
THIS.IS.INCREDIBLE!!!
Chase has just become unstable asskickings are sure to follow
I do believe Chase was already unstable. Now he’s unstable and pissed.
Holy shit.
I was right last strip! He DID use Anger and it was super effective!
Definitely Wallpaper/ maybe even a T-shirt of Chase from the last panel.
His father-in-law would be so proud, and then (maybe) would probably have to leave to change his pants out of fear.
Amazing! I applaud you on two things. One, on Chase’s expression pre-complete and utter slaughter of of tall dark and handsome man.
Secondly, you brought back my favorite phrase!
Chase has been giving out lollipops and ass whoopings all day – and he’s all out of lollipops.
This is just… Well, I like this.
Chase kind of reminds me of Scout in that last panel…
That’s just what I was thinking—Is Chase turning into Scout??
Shhhh! The filler/comic being same-universe was foreshadowing, but we’re not supposed to give it away yet.
Rage!Chase is abosolutely wonderful <3
“Heeeeey Mr. Millers! You should come see what your daughter’s boyfriend is doing!” >.>
HOLY CRAP, GO CHASE!!
The final panel is an excellent example of the distillation of your skill, Scott. The angle, shading, and highlights truly are amazing! Keep up the good work!
These statements are quite true
*like*
I want Taryn’s father to see this. He needs to be there with his jaw dropped open, lol
Then, later, he’ll have to grudgingly give Chase some respect.. oh, the hilarity of his shame, when Chase boldly embarks upon his usual dapper shenanigans.
Even if the above doesn’t happen:
AWESOME STRIP OF AWESOMENESS.
Yes. To all of the above.
Agreed!
GO REPRESSED RAGE!!
Look like we’re about to see an extreme case of crouching moron hidden badass as chase beats the living tar out of nergil
Ps. Egads!
Is…is he glowing with pure anger?
Awesome.
he should being doing more then saying “EGADS”….. like going through a list of necromancy spells or something…
LOVE Chase by the way, and Repressed Rage too
Four things happened when I saw this. First, I pissed myself when I saw repressed rage. Second, I shit myself when I saw Chase’s expression. Third, I laughed when I saw Nergil’s reaction. Finally, I cried when I realized WHY Chase when psycho, which is that Monty died. All of this happened in about 1.2 seconds.
I do hope you then showered.
Chase has a glowing eye of doom going on in that last panel.
I haven’t commented in awhile. I like to sit back and watch. Totally not as creepy as that sounds.
It’s insane to see how deep this has gone from inception. I love how everything ties in and the way you paint the overall picture is incredible. Absolutely amazing.
Also, that last panel: Intensely awesome. It breathes rage!
Cry havoc, and let loose the dogs of war.
AKA = you killed my friend, i shall send you to hell… or take you with me.
You know that panel from Motokool where Jarvis CLOCKS one of those mocking monsters, and asks himself “Did I do that?”
Yeah… Go Chase.
does anyone else notice the shard of chase’s “shield” in his other hand? also i have to admit i love the way Scott portrayed the snap most people who are calm and seemingly harmless normally become psychopathic killers when they do snap keep up the great work
Does Nergil remind anyone else of Father from Kids Next Door?
Omg yes!
A-ha! Yes!
A much, much more dapper version, yes.
I just realized I was reading him in that voice too…
oh…OH FFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUU-
If you look closely Chase has the perfect weapon of choice… a stick!
No a stake!
I didn’t know Chase took a class in Berserkering. Taryn’s dad misjudged him, I guess, as that’s one of the manliest classes you can take.
second only to bear murderolgy
actually berserkering would apply to any opponent and therefore be a bit better in a fight. Bear murderology is a specialized class, as the lessons are only applicable to bears.
Doesn’t change that Bear Murderology is more -Manly-.
Less effective, but more Manly
The more specialized classes often rate the higher course numbers.
Yey for repressing stuff! It always comes in handy later. Take that stupid Nergil wizard face! This is the best carnival show ever…haha…
Yes Chase, just listen to Repressed Rage and everything will be alright.
Nergil… I’d be shitting dark matter right about now.
Nothing I can say would fully describe how much I love this.
Guys, Repressed Rage or not, don’t forget one very important thing… this is Chase we’re talking about. He can *still* find ways to get his ass kicked. 😉
Wow… Just… Uh… I guess Repressed Rage epically Wins… Can’t wait to find out what happens to Nirgil, eh? How will RR handle the wizard? Fisticuffs? Or pure, gratuitous, and unadulterated violence?
Guess we’ll have to find out next time.

You know, I don’t think many people think Nergil ate Monty. I thought that at first, and thought “Well… He… ate him?” But then I see these reactions. And then I can see why people thought Monty’s dead.
… Please, please, oh please tell me he’s not dead. He can’t be dead! He’s a main character! Main Characters never die!
Joe
Tell that to Lieutenant Commander Data or Commander Trip Tucker. Or that guy from Eragon played by Jeremy Irons.
I was sad for Trip 🙁 And Data.
Main characters die all the time the main cause being heroic self sacrifice. Does this mean Monty goes to fictional character heaven with Obi wan, Brom and all other self sacrificing people?
Chewbacca had a moon land on him and died
The Flash Died
Superman has Died
The original batman has Died
Tony Stark Died
The Green Lanterns Die
Noble team Dies
Dante died
the guy from Red Dead Redemption Died
Aeris Died
Main characters die all the time 😛
but they always manage to come back, somehow
no, Chewbacca is clearly dead 😛
and Aeris…
and that red dead guy…
and noble team xD
comic book characters seem to come back…unless they are a cylon, then theres lots of them
I did not see these last two turn of events coming at all.
Might I inquire a poster be made?
Also, I do believe Nergil’s bear is about to be fisted most thoroughly indeed :3
Bye Nergil.
oh man, I can’t wait, but I must! curse you linear time!
Oh my… Oh dear… Oh shi-
*ahem* AWWWW SHIT! Nergil started some shit that he won’t be able to finish! Scott you’re amazing with the way you portray Chase’s mental status snapping like a guitar string.
Is it me or does Chase look like Orochi Iori from King of Fighters in that last panel? He’s about to go ALL kinds of Orochi…. Hehehehe
woah…
The military has a phrase that i think is most applicable to Nergil, that phrase is, “Don’t hand out checks that your ass cant cash.” And Nergil your bank account is overdrawn…
Chase just entered ‘Gamzee mode’.
You just won all of the internet cookies. All of them.
Again?…. I am running out of places to put these.
ohshit!
It’s on now – BEAT HIS ASS DOWN!
Well, buckets have just been filled, good sir. Jolly good.
Shit just got real.
Shit just got real.
Well it’s about time.

(see what I did there? shits funny) GO CHASE!
I see what you did there. It made me smile.
Love it!!
Now *this* looks like the show of a lifetime.
And that’s my boy, Chase. Go at him.
Can We Maybe get the last Panel except Bigger? Or just by itself? I know you do that Sometimes.
Don’t know if you’d be interested in this but as you know comics seem your thing as well as the Dapper gentlemen but this years Eisner awards included Return of the Dapper Men. A worthy read.
Is it weird to have a crush on Chase? Because I think I might. (Actually I am a Nergil all the way girl, but when guys like Chase snaps it shows a certain quality I have to admire. And it’s okay that you guys might think I’m a creeper. I kinda am.)
First!
This may be my favorite strip ever… if only there was more of my favorite girl in it. 😉
Oh- where’s Snarky?! WHAT IF SNARKY SAVES THEM.
Yiss.
yup… I think Negil is going to get pwn’d
Haven’t posted here before, but… this gives me good reason to! I love the whole “processing station” concept (complete with misspelled sign), and Repressed Rage’s debut is nothing short of awesome – especially his physical manifestation in the last panel! I want a poster of that last panel!

FIRST
SUPER failed
hmmm repressed rage seems very much like my normal rage…. oh god…
I have only one word. and that word is AWESOME.
Just a note, it is no longer repressed rage but expressed rage.
I love that last panel, I almost want it as a wall paper.
I just realized that only emotion and expressed rage are in control…
I read it as logic and rage. Now I get it
Cor blimey, that was some smashing artistry! Good show, chaps!
Who would win “Repressed Rage” Chase vs Mr. Mills?
I’m so proud of Chase right now.
Oh emotion your not even close to been in charge infact I strongly suspect from the look rage was giving him, he was the next victim!
….and so it begins.
I doubt nergel will pull a c-c-c-c-combo breaker! here .
no one has mentioned emotions response. that i think is my favorite.
response: HoLy **to*#(5 MothEr $^# D8
107th! >:D
>_>
Now. I want the last panel as a poster. ^_^
Wait a second, are those some tats I see on his right arm? Possible Scout Crossover?
Nah, just looks like skin lines and creases to me.
Its his thumb. GO ANATOMICALLY CORRECT HANDS!
And another comic started and caught up with! My significant others have this nasty habit of getting me caught on webcomics, :P.
yes…. I got you hooked. My plan is afoot!
that is so me when I snap
Also, anyone else have to read the comic x2 to make sure that was Chase in the last panel?
I have to say from the bottom of my heart that even if you liked nothing else about this comic, reading the entire thing was made worth it by this single page. I applaud you Scott.
…. first? Haha, but no. HO. LY. CRAP. A combination of pure emotion and repressed rage? YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-hckkkk, cckk… -decapitated-
run nergil. just run.
His little best friend through thick and thin just got vaporized to save him, Chase might even have a chance against Mr. Mills while hes in that possessed homicidal state.
Seriously, I can not wait for the next page where Nergil gets the shit beaten out of him.
Btw, is Chase holding a large stick in his left hand? :O
The trick is to just pretend Nergil is a big black koala.
Nth degree ass whooping!?
I throw some heads in the air sometimes saying NNNNNNNNNUUUUUUUURRRR
Poor, poor Nergil. Emotion had to take over in that one moment with Repressed Rage who just killed most of Chase’s Processing Thingies.
He has no idea what hell he hath unleashed…
Panel 5. I creamed.
oh nooooo. i changed my mind again. definately chase.
Ah Yes The Rage. Also seen here Grinning.
