Killer cliffhanger. But more Jane, please!

Poor future Billy looks like he was rode hard and put away wet.

Me, too. Fewer and fewer of those around these days.

Heh. That's a date!

BILLY needs a reason!

I'm not tipping off the rest of FMD just to satisfy you!

Man, older Billy should do the job himself...

I have decided not to say what I think is going to happen next so as to avoid being King Dick when I'm right about it.

Actually, George O'Connor, who posted that last comic under my name ended up being a 'King Dick' after all! He's been sponging for someone to call him that for so long now, it's a relief to have an occasion where it actually applies.

There is no way to predict the outcome of a Billy Dogma comic. I bet the paths it takes surprise even Dean on occasion.

In the studio.
Joe didn't log out, and George wrote that first comment in his name.

Then joe got mad.

Then Mike got pissed.

Anyway. I wish the hand thing had been kept a secret. But that's how I roll. Not sure how this will resolve. It's sad.

It's all good. Nothing that can't be solved with a cheese grater and a blow torch!

Tiger Force!

No doubt.

wow, that's one way to really understand death

That really looks like Shannon!!

Damn. You and Simon are COLD. Must be a Euro thing?

Thx, Mark! You work hard, too, bro.

If Billy kills his older self, then he has no reason to cut off his gun hand, which frees him from the shackles, thereby making it so he never meets himself causing either a paradox or awesomeness. I'm not sure what the awesomeness is, but it is better than Billy accidentally discharging said fatal charge from the gun at some innocent.

So this not-quite-suicide possibly mercy killing may actually be the best way for Billy to avoid any guilt complex in the long run.

But I don't think Billy could kill himself, even to save himself. He is just too damn *alive* for that to be a feasible option. Even old and battered and broken he just seems to be really incredibly _intense_.

So you've worked in a kitchen/restaurant as well, I see? With the "86"-ing and all...

Also, by not offing his future self, he continues to get stuck in that loop, and that kind of slavery to time would be nothing short of murder for him, right?

I feel like a genius.

This is amazing because I have been staring at a document layout for hours now, and I am *not* looking forward to doing the next five pages.

I kind of want to bash my head in. Just a little bit to dull the pain.

Anyways, great comic, I'm eagerly awaiting the fix that it supplies.

The killer is that I am applying for a job that requires me to be in front of a computer for long periods of time, which is not exactly my favorite thing in the world to do.

Then again, a design job (despite being a long shot) would be a great job to land.

Dean, Your art is AMAZING! Are you a fan of Harvey Kurtzman or Mike Zeck? I get a vibe of both artists style in your work, yet, your work is totally original. I never get tired of looking at your work.

....I definitely see the Kirby influence. You have such a great way with shape and negative space.....not to mention lighting. I'm a big fan of cartoon lighting. It adds so much. I can always recognize your style.
