Delcat: So I hear you found a site with more porno comics, huh Zeiss?
Zeiss Manifold: Oh yeah. You wouldn't
believe this stuff.
Delcat: C'mon, what couldn't I believe? Is it more Nyar or something?
Zeiss Manifold: Well, let me just pick one at random...

Zeiss Manifold: Look, Rule 34 of
Cyber Seduction!...I think.
Delcat: A very young genderswapped lesbian Gene Simmons.
Delcat: That...is a very butch girl, right?
Zeiss Manifold: Jesse: "The monster called Pornography is attacking the city!"
Zeiss Manifold: Marty: DURR NAKED LADIES HURR
Zeiss Manifold: "Marty" is fitting. Her CPU looks like it's hit 88 mph.
Delcat: "Webserver." Ow. Ow. Technology fail. Painful. Ow.
Zeiss Manifold: there's a webserver on the internets machine
Delcat: For posterity, the "soccer site" they were "viewing":
Delcat: Ugh, the set-up's perfect for the GOOFY TIME meme but everyone hates that one. WHY MUST THERE BE THE TEMPTATION FOR UNFUNNY JOKES?
Zeiss Manifold: Panel 2: The Bible contains a porn site directory? Whuh?
Delcat: Dude, the Song of Solomon is all ABOUT porn. Seriously, they skim over that one in Sunday School for a reason.
Zeiss Manifold: more like dong of solomon amirite
Delcat: Hey, man, he had over 700 wives. Dude had to have SOMETHIN' goin' on.
Zeiss Manifold: Panel 4:
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]Zeiss Manifold: Though, given the choice between being stuck watching my friend look at porn or being caught in a type 1a supernova, I'd spring for the porn.
Delcat: ...guess what I'm doing RIGHT NOW :3
Zeiss Manifold: Del...you're not piling matter onto white dwarf stars again, forcing their masses to exceed the Chandrasekhar limit and igniting a massive fusion explosion, are you?
Delcat: Oh yeah, dude. IN MY PANTS.
Zeiss Manifold: THANK YOU AND GOODNIGHT

Delcat: Zeiss...this is a cautionary tale about the dangers of letting your computer get bogged down with porn spiders and spyware, right? ...right?
Zeiss Manifold: Uh...MORAL spyware, I guess.
Delcat: Huh. You know, Googling "Eden Girlies" actually brings up no porn whatsoever. It actually brings up a large number of college sites and an accessory store.
Zeiss Manifold: Panel 1: HEAD IS BROCCOLI
Zeiss Manifold: Panel 2: NOW IT'S NOT
Zeiss Manifold: Third panel:
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]Delcat: Cheap thrills, these kids. They should just search "tiger" on monkey-search-for-kids.net, THAT'S where the money is.
Delcat: or should I say MONKEY
Zeiss Manifold: Don’t they know you gotta search for “monkey”, hey hey?
Delcat: Marty's face is stuck in a permanent horrified rictus/horse laugh/mouthbreathe. No wonder he has to rely on porn.
Zeiss Manifold: I'm thinking that this is going to turn into a sermon on retinal damage. Geez, man, put some mylar over that thing.
Delcat: Hey man, not cool. NOT cool. ...my mom was attacked by Saran Wrap while I was in the womb.
Zeiss Manifold: ...Your mom is Roy Orbison?
Delcat: I SAID I DON'T WANNA TALK ABOUT IT
Delcat: Ah, there ain't no gentlemen that's fit for any use, and any girl will touch your privates for a deuce, and even kids'll kick your shins and give you sass--nobody's got no class.
Delcat: ...that's the vibe we're going for here, right? Ruination, is that the thing? Death of innocence?
Delcat: 'Cause I must say it's not really doing it for me.
Zeiss Manifold: LET'S FIND OUT
- Spoiler:
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]
Delcat: My white matter isn't feelin' very compressed, is all I'm sayin'
Zeiss Manifold: Last panel: i'm a dirty christian on a dirty bible team
Delcat: No, seriously, s/he needs to get that checked out. She looks like she's being electrocuted. Is there a plug loose on that thing?
Zeiss Manifold: ...Oh my god he really is like the butchest guy ever. I honestly didn't see that until now.
Zeiss Manifold: Serpent: "You ever
looked at this fruit, man? I mean
really looked at it?"
Delcat: "Hey, I'll admit to that, conveniently denying any chance to refute the bias of the statement!"
Zeiss Manifold: I like how it almost insinuates that Eve was kicked out for checkin' the K. Haruha in her spare time.
Delcat: Except K. Haruka didn't exist back then...OR DID SHE??
Zeiss Manifold: Seeing as how Adam and Eve were responsible for naming all the invisicocks, I think there's a chance.
Delcat: Serpent: You've got to admit it's a bit of a pantomime, though. I mean, pointing out the Tree and saying 'Don't Touch' in big letters. Not very subtle, is it? I mean, why not put it on top of a high mountain or a long way off? Makes you wonder what He's really planning.
Delcat: Marty: STAY OUT OF THIS CROWLEY
Zeiss Manifold: Maybe this comic will turn into Queen's Greatest Hits if we leave it out in the Chevy.
Delcat: Wait...wait, I think I got it. The Apple? Actually a Banana.
Zeiss Manifold: ...Actually, now you’ve got me hoping that this comic turns into this now.
Delcat: I hope it turns into Good Omens. Hell, I hope it turns into Good Omens
fanfic, even. Even then it'd at least suck in a
slashy way.

Zeiss Manifold: Panel 4: "Manos loves women! You will grow up to
be a woman!"
Zeiss Manifold: The notion that someone out there is purposely making porn movies of obscure Bible stories is my favorite thing about this, really.
Delcat: MARTY FINALLY MANAGES TO CLOSE HER MOUTH, HUZZAH
Delcat: Now begins the long mouth-breathing recovery program. She begins physical therapy Wednesday. Prescription? MORE PORN!
Zeiss Manifold: You can see he's struggling to keep it shut, though.
Delcat: Okay, I'll bite. Let's see, SafeSearch is off...
Zeiss Manifold: "Galatians 5:19, 22". So there are two passages in the Bible about...things being serious, I guess.
Delcat: ...five hits for Bathsheba's Bad Bathing Babes, and they all refer to...THIS COMIC??
Zeiss Manifold: [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]Delcat: BROKEN FOURTH WALL FETISH? NOW THAT'S KINKY!
Delcat: Lemme try "Bathsheba"...nope, Bible sites telling me to convert.
Delcat: P.S. I like Marty. She's snarky and full of win. Is she this comic's Fang?
Zeiss Manifold: Marty: "GOD I HATE YOU! YOU'RE PREACHY AND YOU WEAR THAT DAMN FOOTBALL OUTFIT EVERYWHERE AND IT SMELLS LIKE STALE CAP'N CRUNCH AND IT'S ALL CRUSTY AND SHIT UGH"
Delcat: Seriously, why did she even invite him over? Is...this is a pity date, isn't it?
Delcat: This is because he refuses to admit that she's a lesbian, isn't it?
Delcat: He's been making sweaty, awkward advances on her all night long so in desperation she's finally going "LOOK I LIKE GIRLS LOOK AT ME LOOKING AT TITS"
Delcat: And he STILL ISN'T GETTING IT
Zeiss Manifold: Would that make all the weird purple blotches everywhere count as symbolism?
Delcat: Oh, is that what that is? I thought a Game Cube just dropped.
Delcat: P.S.S. personally I would argue that the subtle sexism pervading popular culture is much more damaging to the way people treat the opposite sex, male OR female, than porn. But Wulfie has taught me well.
Zeiss Manifold: Now we just have to Google "Wulfie" with the Safesearch off, and the cycle will be complete.

Zeiss Manifold: Comic says porn turns men into rape machines, science says it doesn't, film at 11.
Delcat: So, uh...we're going to drop the stupid porn thing now and focus on how having an abusive father can ruin your life, right? ...right?
Delcat: I mean, he just said all women were worthless right in front of his daughter. That's harsh, dude.
Zeiss Manifold: ...And now you've gone and reminded me of this article.
Zeiss Manifold: THIS IS A SNARK WE'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE ALL ACADEMICAL AND SHIT
Zeiss Manifold: WHAT HAS THIS COMIC DONE TO US
Delcat: Hugh Flintner...are they trying to make a sly mash-up of pornmonger names and failing horribly?
Delcat: DON'T LOOK AT ME MAN I'M MAKIN' REFS TO CGI CARTOONS FROM 1993 HERE
Delcat: ...and walking home alone in the middle of the night, he's raped and killed. Really, what ARE you trying to teach your kids? Porn is bad, but wandering around in the middle of the night is okay?
Zeiss Manifold: Is Marty's family really that bad off? They've got a fucking Dorian column in their doorway.
Delcat: Oh, they're fine money-wise. They're just ripped apart because of THE PORN.
Delcat: Psssht, the lady fought back and didn't rip out his earrings first off? What ARE they teaching kids these days?
Delcat: What's with the silhouette in Panel 2? Did the baker lose the butcher and the candlestick maker during the bar crawl?

Delcat: "Marty's involvement with pornography is just a symptom, Jesse--"
Delcat: "That's right! He needs Jesus!"
Delcat: "Uh, what? No, I was talking about her terrible home life. I'm calling CPS in the morning."
Zeiss Manifold: "...She even burned her porn to CD-R and labeled it "Virgin Vaginas"! Something's
wrong with that girl!"
Delcat: Uh, I don't think there's actually a verse in the Bible about Internet porn addiction, actually. I mean I know I don't read it as much as I used to, but I just have this feeling.
Zeiss Manifold: Why is the Bible glowing? I'm asking not only because bibleluminescence is rare irl, but 'cause glowing seems to be synonymous with sleaze in this comic and I think whatever message they were trying to portray here has backfired.
Delcat: Dang, if the middle panels were set up differently they'd be a great reaction cap for new recruits reading the Gaffapedia for the first time.
Delcat: Nah, it's just a Kindle. They bought one and refuse to install anything but the Bible on it.
Delcat: Seriously, there's a porn addiction hotline but no hotline for kids in bad home situations? FAIL.
Zeiss Manifold: ...I have some background on this thing, actually. From what I gather, these are older than they look - the HOW TO DRAW MANGA EASY art is only in the newest edition. I don't know what the old version looked like, but apparently everyone's races were reversed as well. So yeah.
Delcat: Eeeeeeeeeeech. That's a So Yeah AND a What.
Delcat: And in the end, the Bible bleaches their skin white as snow!
Zeiss Manifold: And what's more disappointing, the cartoon version of Static Shock opted to cut this arc.
Delcat: Wow, what a mess of misplaced morals. At least it's over.
Zeiss Manifold: Yep. You know what this means?
Delcat: Porn?
Zeiss Manifold: In a roundabout way, yes. A
Roundupabout way, in particular.
Delcat: I like the cut of your jib, mister.
Zeiss Manifold: LAST ONE THERE IS A ROTTEN DONG
