This was the arc that made me spring for joining the Patreon. The surge of power that comes from truly believing I'm at most 0.01 percent responsible for this comic makes me stagger to imagine what Branson must feel like on a daily basis.

Matt Zoller Seitz, on Alex Wolff's character from PIG (2021): "He thinks he is owed more than he has, but isn’t sure why he feels that way nor inclined to investigate or question that feeling."

Anyway, here's Noel

For context, Noel recently got run over by an actual vehicle during a story arc that took 20+ strips to resolve, and yet this somehow feels *even more* like watching a slow-motion car crash

Branson casually dropping an S-tier method of annihilating any pedant who says "actually, Frankenstein was the *doctor's* name"

Today I read T-Rex's lines in Strong Bad's voice in my head, and I'll probably continue doing the same going forward
i too am hard to use and gorgeous to look at. do i apologize? i do not.

Sort of the least interesting possible takeaway from this but how the fuck does The Jungle Book work in Swan Boy

Noel is like if Wirt from Over The Garden Wall retained none of his character development upon entering his thirties.

Stretch out the dialogue from the first panel into a standalone strip and it would still be funnier than the vast majority of the Sunday pages. Branson then goes on to cram in like 2-3 more strips's worth of humor, including introducing Noel's mom in a panel I will be discussing with my therapist.

In my soul, I dream I'm a Swan Boy.
In my heart, I fear I'm a Rona.
In my gut, I know I'm a Noel.

Not only does this do TENET (2020) better than TENET (2020), there's an all-timer running gag about people explaining the plot of TENET (2020)

Really crucial strip for Branson to precede with the post clarifying "how animals work" in Swan Boy world.

Waiting for the first Jumbotron Hustle to break. Some dad fake steals a fly ball from his accomplice son, social media backlash engineers the player giving the kid a signed one, then they flip it on eBay immediately for millions.

Noel is as shaken by the truth as Swan Boy is, but still takes a brief moment to "um actually" him about what state Chicago is in.

My superpower is that I first saw John Travolta in HAIRSPRAY (2007) which has informed my perspective of him in every other movie he's in.
Fun topic: what’s the first time you remember seeing now famous actors? Like, I remember seeing Michael Fassbender in JONAH HEX and thinking “shit, this dude’s good.”
I first saw Karl Urban in the movie Ghost Ship at a filthy $1 theater.

I could’ve never anticipated how many times I’d be saying to myself “Hey, it’s the guy from Ghost Ship!” for the rest of my life.

With Deltarune having new chapters out and being inescapable on my feed, I find myself often staring off into the distance and thinking about the absurd fact that it’s taken millions of dollars, several development teams, and thirteen years to release half of a Homestuck point and click game

Reading @bransonreese.bsky.social's Letterboxd giallo reviews & One Piece posts before watching this Swan Boy arc unfold in real time feels tantamount to having traveled to Rishikesh with the Beatles in 1968 and then listening to the White Album later that year.
