As I continue to work on the Animazement 2018 comics, here’s a bit of very timely and accurate filler.

Nothing against gamers, mind you, I’d have this same reaction to pretty much any sporting event/celebration/pop cultural event/natural disaster that became news worthy.  Really, I just don’t like hearing from people… about things…

But yeah, a week full of multi-million dollar titles being announced by all the major game publishers, and the only E3 news I actually cared about was who won the New Day/Elite Street Fighter feud.

(Historical Notes: On the one hand, LOOK!  Actual original vintage commentary from Past Me!  As you may have gathered from the first line, this comic was originally posted on the various social medias rather than SmackJeeves, so as not to interrupt the flow of the ongoing series.  Thus, I could grab the commentary preserved on the tumblr post and reproduce it here.  On the other hand, you may have noticed something ELSE from that first line.  Yeah, this comic was actually drawn months before the AWA comics, and should have been reposted many pages back.  Unfortunately, it looks like Past Me never got around to adding this one to the SmackJeeves site at all, or at the very least not before the last time The Wayback Machine got a snapshot for me to use as a cheat sheet for what order these things go in.  Honestly, the filler comics were getting so infrequent by this point that trying to give them chronologically meaningful chapter groupings is pretty much meaningless anyway, so I’ll just leave this page here.  And it’s TOTALLY NOT because I’m also too lazy to mess with the page ordering of everything that comes after this.)
