Round one was clearly a Poopy win.

For round two, Lord Poopy has slimmed down to proper weight class for the fight. So now will Lord Fuzzy-Butt be even more trounced than he was in the first round, or will he be humiliated once again? Or will a different contender have to step in and break up this brewing storm that is swirling between literal gods?

I love the sudden shift from epic to humor with the fighting cloud and then back to epic again. I can almost hear the cartoon sound effects!

I'll bet my Quatloos on Bun Bun here. Get those other eyes!

Where did that tree demon (?) behind Gwynn come from?

We knew from Fire and Rain that Pete appreciates Tori Amos at least ... but who knew Poopypants was into Third Eye Blind?

More seriously -- taking the form the Stormbreaker has already kicked through walls repeatedly may not be a great plan.

Hurrah for two comics a week!

Lord Poopy-Pants' inevitable victory will be shown to us that much sooner. Although Poopy-Pants looks a little rusty after being stuck with Farahan for millennia.

The bug's most frightening form yet. Also, I observe that, if we have to trust that tree-demon (do we?), it appears Gwynn's transformation has not been reversed by the undoing of the book.

<Clap> that's a Pete worthy pun.

Bun-Bun has a lifetime of experience poinging around with a switchblade hitting nerdboys, so he has the upper paw here.

But I can imagine it's tempting for the end demon. There will always be new ends. But he rarely gets to fight a god.

That's an impressive (and terrfying) blend of PP's and BB's looks. Doesn't seem like the end demon is going to want to stick around in this form when he can just cheat.

So much to love here, as others have already mentioned. I do have one question, though: the Die Hard quote makes sense, but I'm confused about "mudder heifer". Is that referring to anything in particular, or was PP just trying to come up with something that phonetically fit the phrase within the rating restrictions of the Sluggyverse?

I'm probably just thinking too hard.

Edit: I think I just got it. "heifer" rhymes with "effer", which...

Indeed, it fits!

♫ Everyone's got to face down the demons
Maybe today
We can put the past away

I wish you would step back from that ledge, my friend
You could cut ties with all the lies
That you've been living in
And if you do not want to see me again
I would understand ♫
-Jumper, third eye blind

Also, I love the spot of color!

I'm a little surprised that Bun-Bun's switchblade can actually hurt the Destroyer when an unpowered Chaz couldn't. (Even unpowered, Chaz is a very sharp sword.) But maybe Torg didn't hit his eyes.

Unlimited POWER!
