Reminder: new comics return on Monday! Sorry to keep you waiting. Here, have a Rog.gif for your trouble.
Also, an Internet high-five goes out to KragarSF for tracking down the secret Alloy appearances in the archives! KragarSF, expect a large digitized hand to fly through your window and high five you at some point in the future. Possibly while you are asleep.

Item 1: regular comics are going to be on hold for about a week or so! Unfortunate but unavoidable.
Item 2: when we come back, we’re going to segue directly into a new story – it’ll directly continue the current adventure, but trust me, you are gonna know the difference.
Item 3: brace yourself – if you can’t tell from today’s cliffhanger, things are about to get REALLY WEIRD. Not sure what the reaction will be but it’s going to be a lot of fun to draw.
Item 4: a wilted shroom
Item 5: thanks for putting up with these scheduling hiccups and the weird hours the comic tends to go up at! I’m doing what I can to keep the Badnix-spice flowing, but at the end of the day I’d rather miss a week of comics here and there than lower my standards for making ’em. Hang in there!

METAL SLURI HAS JOINED THE FRAY! And he brought with him… kind of a giant plot dump. Okay, in case anyone’s getting lost, here are some extra-special *story notes* –
(Fun fact: the character Alloy has actually shown up once before this story! If anyone is actually able to locate that strip, they will receive a tremendous internet high-five from yours truly.)

So! You’ve been accepted into the proud ranks of the ENEMY CORPS. Good on you, soldier! You now represent the interests of the great and terrible FOBLIN EMPIRE, both at home and further away. In the coming months, you’ll learn what it means to SERVE AND OBSTRUCT, to interject oneself into the trap-filled Rube Goldberg device that is an Enemy’s STAGE. “DON’T TREAD ON ME,” says the Enemy to the WORLD – “OR, IF YOU DO, YOU WILL PROBABLY HAVE TO FIGURE OUT MY PATTERN FIRST AND MAYBE EVEN GET PERHAPS KIND OF HURT WHILE DOING SO.”
But! In which WORLD will you be serving? There are as many as SIXTEEN (16) Worlds united under the banner of the mighty KING METAFOBLIN. Sixteen parallel fiefdoms, connected only by WARP ZONES, each with its own rewards, challenges, and delightfully flamboyant themes. Just how are you supposed to make this career decision fresh out of UNIVERSITY, ENEMY VOCATIONAL ACADEMY, the IMPERIALLY-SANCTIONED ROBOTICS FACTORY of YOUR CONSTRUCTION, or a licensed SPAWNING POOL/CRATER?
You are in luck! The ROYAL ADVERSARIAL ACADEMY of SOUTHERN FOOD WORLD has compiled these pamphlets to help you make your choice.
