Headshot . . . right into the illusion. It almost seems like a reference to Halo: Reach's hologram thingy.

Where's the relevance in the recent pile of Captain Snes comics? I mean besides the masturbation jokes there doesn't seem to be a real purpose.

It's a filler arc, specifically regarding Christmas (allegedly). He does that sometimes.
I kinda wish he wouldn't, as the story proceeds slowly enough already and I usually end up glossing over the extra stuff when I trawl through the archives anyway, but there you go.

XKCD uggggggggghhhhhhhh. Worse than normal cause this time even the science is wrong (claiming glass is not a liquid at room temperature). Glass is both an amorphous solid and a rubbery liquid it has properties of both. And if you stick in a window pane it will flow (it doesn't make window disparities- that is due to manufacturing problems generally- flow is much smaller than that). And I know this one becuase we teach undergraduate chemists/engineers that glass is an amorphous solid and not a liquid because its easier that way but the situation is more complex and we don't have a simple way of classifying it as either.
People use the Tg point (which for glass is a few hundred degrees,d epends on the glass) as evidence it is a solid but Tg are pretty arbitrary, dependent on testing methods and not even clear what they mean. |

Charlie is becoming more and more likely to be the true villian in all of this.

Erfette
Something just occured to me. I wonder if this whole "perfect warlord" (or something similar - perhaps an attempt at business?) has been tried before, but instead, when Charlie was summoned, he set up shop and began actively encouraging more warfare. Charlie's a mercenary. He sells his military and intelligence services. Wars have been instigated and encouraged by such groups in the past. I wonder if Erfworld is as harsh as it is today largely because of Charlie's meddling. I always just kind of assumed he'd gone with the flow... but to think he might actually be causing more warfare... that's interesting.

That would explain how there's less problems with cultural barriers between Parson and Charlie, and given the deep level of thinking both seem to put into this it is very plausible that Charlie is actually farming war for profit. All he does is make extra archons so it could be an attempt to eventually control the whole world in one turn, especially since the archons can be hired and sent to other battlefields which would take transportation out of the list of problems.
EDIT: The archons turning on their employer for Charlie's purposes is even more possible given the fact that he wants all of the decrypted archons destroyed (100 smuckers per death, and I think more for captured), probably because they're hardwired to obey their decrypter no matter what.
