How Abbey's Dad Immediately Died
Added 2020-09-19 13:01:11 +0000 UTCI applied the "canon" tag so this would be easy to find, but I'm hesitant to label it such officially. I think it might be simultaneously too zany and too dark for the tone of TRW. But I got such a reaction from readers about the hippo thing on the last page that this was something I had to draw just for fun.

I do want to slip in a line about her casually hating hippos at some point if I can. XD

Reinbach
2020-09-28 22:54:16 +0000 UTCNoted! :D
Reinbach
2020-09-28 22:53:59 +0000 UTCThis is awesome! I have to wonder now if Abby hates going to the zoo. Even if that wasn't where her Dad was killed, I'm sure there's trauma there...
Chris Davis
2020-09-25 22:57:00 +0000 UTCI was told Freddy was middle eastern. But yeah, funny how that worked, eh Bach?
Lord Washington
2020-09-21 20:36:06 +0000 UTCwait wait... her dad is Freddy Mercury??
Stan Hanks
2020-09-21 20:25:57 +0000 UTCWas it, though? He got the first hit in. More importantly, you deserve endless accolades for rendering Abbey's dad in such a way that it's sensible for her body type to contrast with her thicc mom, especially consdering Tanner's first and probably last appearance is this five-panel joke page. What's the equivalent of the Eisner award for porn? Zimmerman? You should get one of those.
Trekkie Monster
2020-09-21 19:01:54 +0000 UTCThe first panel along with the last two panels would make an awesome t-shirt/poster!

Reinbach
2020-09-21 16:03:14 +0000 UTCOh yeah I've been hearing that hippos are actually way more dangerous than people think.
Reinbach
2020-09-21 16:03:08 +0000 UTCThank you!
Reinbach
2020-09-21 16:02:38 +0000 UTCSuch wasted effort! XD
Reinbach
2020-09-21 16:02:32 +0000 UTCThat's great! :)
Reinbach
2020-09-21 16:02:06 +0000 UTCGood to know! :D
Reinbach
2020-09-21 16:01:57 +0000 UTCInteresting idea! :D
Reinbach
2020-09-21 16:01:48 +0000 UTCXD
Reinbach
2020-09-21 16:01:34 +0000 UTCI have to agree with the Freddie Mercury comparison. It wasn't intentional but I totally see it.
Reinbach
2020-09-21 16:01:29 +0000 UTCIn a sense! XD
Reinbach
2020-09-21 16:00:50 +0000 UTCXD
Reinbach
2020-09-21 16:00:42 +0000 UTCCan't argue with that. XD
Reinbach
2020-09-21 16:00:38 +0000 UTCNo you know! XD
Reinbach
2020-09-21 16:00:27 +0000 UTCThanks!

Reinbach
2020-09-21 15:59:54 +0000 UTCGreat! :)
Reinbach
2020-09-21 15:59:48 +0000 UTCI imagine Tanner was born seething with pure, unfounded hippo hatred.
Reinbach
2020-09-21 15:59:40 +0000 UTCNice to know it fits tonally! :)
Reinbach
2020-09-21 15:59:01 +0000 UTCGood to hear!
Reinbach
2020-09-21 15:58:41 +0000 UTCThanks! :)
Reinbach
2020-09-21 15:58:33 +0000 UTCXD
Reinbach
2020-09-21 15:58:25 +0000 UTCI did try to make it as insane as possible to be a mention in the main comic. It was only because that line ended up getting so much attention that I decided to flesh it out here. XD
Reinbach
2020-09-21 15:58:21 +0000 UTCWho indeed! XD
Reinbach
2020-09-21 15:57:38 +0000 UTCNope! XD

Reinbach
2020-09-21 15:56:59 +0000 UTCThat would be quite the undertaking! XD
Reinbach
2020-09-21 15:56:49 +0000 UTClol
Reinbach
2020-09-21 15:56:33 +0000 UTCNope! XD

Reinbach
2020-09-21 15:56:20 +0000 UTCXD
Reinbach
2020-09-21 15:56:14 +0000 UTCYou know, of all the comparisons I've heard, that was the only one that occurred to me as I was drawing him. XD
Reinbach
2020-09-21 15:56:08 +0000 UTCThanks! XD
Reinbach

Kudos707
2020-09-20 15:12:23 +0000 UTCActually, i think that hippos are oficially the deadliest large animals in africa. So if anybody thinks that hippo was just moreless random choice, just aiming at to be funny, i highly doubt it. :)
eF..cz
2020-09-20 11:11:02 +0000 UTCThis is beyond awesome. This is pure greatness!
crazyforthedesert
2020-09-20 10:03:44 +0000 UTCNotwithstanding the ridiculous situation, let's take a minute to appreciate Tanner's design. Abbey is smol + slender, but her mom is a shortstack MILF. Where did she get her build from? Tanner's muscles are prominent here because he has a tank top on, but they'd easily vanish beneath a button-up shirt. He has a naturally thin build himself. He has been working on those muscles his whole life for the sake of his greatest dream: defeating a hippopotamus in a fist fight.
Trekkie Monster
2020-09-20 05:41:12 +0000 UTCNow that you say that, he looks like the version in Cromartie High School

2020-09-20 03:17:33 +0000 UTCAlso, her dad looks like a white Freddy Mercury XD
Lord Washington
2020-09-20 00:42:24 +0000 UTCI laughed for like a minute straight at the Hippos face in the last panel
Deano
2020-09-19 22:07:07 +0000 UTCI would honestly buy a shirt that just had panel #3 on it.
Alana Wests
2020-09-19 21:29:16 +0000 UTCit's okay as long as abby's dad shows up later in a soap opera twist where his been secretly training for a rematch in seclusion unable to face his family due to the humiliation of defeat
Jens Mikli
2020-09-19 21:27:24 +0000 UTCYeah, that'll do it...

Matthew Cronin
2020-09-19 19:43:10 +0000 UTCI’m sorry I can’t get over “IT’S GO TIME MOTHERFUCKER!”
Matthew Cronin
2020-09-19 19:42:21 +0000 UTCThis may be one reason Abbey doesn’t like men all that much I’d say. Because the most important man in her life was an impulsive moron who got himself killed.
Lord Washington
2020-09-19 19:25:44 +0000 UTCHe died doing what he loved.

2020-09-19 18:15:11 +0000 UTCI just LOVE the look on the hippo’s face! “Really?! REALLY?!”

Deus
2020-09-19 16:39:03 +0000 UTCZany and dark is fine. If it's zany enough, it automatically makes it less dark. This strip is pure awesome.
Squid Hills
2020-09-19 16:20:58 +0000 UTCI laughed hard at this. In fact, I'm still laughing.
JB
2020-09-19 16:18:50 +0000 UTCA hippo must have really wronged him...
MechaBlerd
2020-09-19 16:02:15 +0000 UTCConsidering that the context of most of the characters in TRW do things that either end up making them look sexy or silly, this does not surprise me that one of your characters would do something this extreme.

Matthew Cronin
2020-09-19 15:04:33 +0000 UTCThis really feels kinda weirdly insane. Who hates hippos? I must head canon it that a hippo must have killed his dad. 😅🤣
GregD
2020-09-19 14:41:36 +0000 UTCLove it! Who really in their right mind punches a hippo and then tries to stare it down? lol
TotesNotThea
2020-09-19 14:02:45 +0000 UTCOne does not simply punch a hippo.
