mwahahah simillar to my summer job as a herb seller over phone - I called people and tried to sell herbs XD

I worked as a telemarketer once. I tried to convince people that they wanted to buy this waxing machine/vacuum cleaner hybrid of some sort... I wasn't entirely sure what it was even though I was trying to sell the thing.

lol not good, I had the same feeling when I worked in a store with comps, television and cell phones - I don't have any clue what so ever about that shit so I often left the customer confused XD

Wait this is FA right? doesnt that mean we already are in some kind of cult or another?

If not. I vote for the Cult of Ripkin!

At least FA isn't the kind of cult where you sit down with a mug of poisoned juice and wait for the comet to come... :p

Thanks, I still got the membership of the Super-Cyber-Satan-Mystery-Cult with Foamy. But a neat showing of sadly all too realistic insanity of people to join any sh!t like that for weird promises is very well done. ^^

Oh, and the comic looks good, too ^-^

I once thought about starting a cult of my own, but since it seems I don't have any devoted followers fawning around me, I must've found myself something better to do.

too bad, you could have had keychains with WWRD?
(what would ripkin do? words shiro always thinks of when in a tight spot )

Did you know that cults are on the rise? Join now or you could risk joining after it becomes cool, and looking like a loser. That's you if you don't join, a loser. Loooooseerrrrr! It's that kind of childishness some cults have been reaching in my area as of late. They have yet to reach that morbidity yet though...

So far I haven't hear of any cults emerging in my neighborhood. I think that's because they're all underground movements that are just waiting for the right moment.

Good selling arguments

You know you want to join them. ;)

lol
XDDD
The trick with the virgins seems to work every time.
XD

At least in certain religions, I guess...

I want that hat! Who needs 50 virgins?

I'm pretty interested in the hat as well. :)

Ei herra-isä, jos tällaisia kaupustelijoita/uskonnonlahkon ihmisiä näkyisi oikeasti, niin kyllä me elämme aika toivottomissa ajoissa. XD

Eiks ne jotkut olekin vähän tollasia? Tuppaavat tulemaan ovelle tarjoamaan parempaa elämää ja taivaspaikkaa...

Totta, mutta harvemmin he tulevat paikalle tuollaisissa nutuissa juttelemassa jotain painonpudotuksesta ja niin pois päin.

Oh my...this is marvelous!

50 virgins?

40 wouldn't be enough, don't you think?

If I kill christians, I get 72.....

If you kill Uwe Boll I'll give you 100.

Who's that?

The city b/g is lovely btw

COUNT ME IN!!

how many will i get if i kill jack thompson??

He got disbarred, didn't he? If he can't work as a lawyer, that means he's not as big a threat as he used to be.

true true

then my job is done =w= sort of .....

can i still have my virgins tho ? 8D

Oh, anytime. I'm sure you'll enjoy the company of our overweight 40-year-old World of Warcraft munchkin guys.

D:

XD then ill pass

Man, this reminds me of when I was sitting in college eating a bagel. Just minding my own buisness just enjoying my delicious foods... And one of those groups came up to me and asked "Are you sad? Are you looking for help?" D: I'm just trying to eat my bagel.

Lol! ...Maybe they thought your bagel looked sad.

Rip seems fairly calm in this one, compared to others. ;-p

He's having a sane day, apparently. :)

GOD.
Always the virgins. xD

Keep em comin, Charha. These are hilarious. :D

(Also, why does Next go to the previous page?)

The next link has to go somewhere (I think), but there is no newer otr strip than this, so I just direct it back to the previous one.

Did you do manual linking or use the weird way FA's coding does it (which I still don't understand)?

I'm using the macro made by  yak. I think it's pretty simple.

I've never tried it, but I just don't understand how it works. I must be a simpleton. :|

Bah. Who wants virgins? You have to teach them everything.

I agree, actually. Experienced ones know how to party.

Wait ... Did you say Free Hat?

Tell me more!

:D

The hat is the best thing. You can have your name written on it and everything.

Ripkin is so, so very shiny <3

He stumbled upon a bucket of shine and bathed in it.

at least he doesn't sparkle in the sunlight.

50 virgins! Done Deal! BAM!

You're in! :D

And a hat!

One hat to rule them all and in the darkness bind them.

50 virgins?! maybe, but I must see my adviser to internal cult affairs first.

I'm sure your adviser has already joined this cult. :B

No I'm sure he has not he was a lawyer once so he belongs to a cult of vampires

That's one virgin for every day of the week!

And don't forget about the hat. You get only one of those, though.

Nice cult. They sure had a point there.

Feel free to join them! :D

No I think I pas. This guild would just take my time from my own goal. Ya know I have a bit other goals than our Malek friend. Like word domination if I counqwer the word than I all the virgin will be mine. Muhhahhahaha

Is it bad that I just keep giggling at the guy's big nose. X3 It so fits! Haha!

Hee! I think he looks kinda cute, even if I so say myself... :D

i hope they got rid of this pesky insect... hmm i wonder what cleric taste like

I have a feeling that clerics might taste somewhat sour and though. They do so much fasting.

just being unappetizing won't prevent swattage ;3

sounds like The Lost Canterbury Tale
("Eric the Esoteric Cleric,
With arcana already decrepit!
His calling is just so cloying,
Mosquitoes are less annoying!")

Heh, that's a good one! (Though I personally always liked Decamerone better than the Tales of Canterbury...) ^^

I like your new avatar, btw! Very sexy!

thx ^~^
 thorndraco did a sweet job, yup
Decameron, eh? another one for the list

Nice!

is he promoting Scientology? =P

Among other things, I suppose.

oh my god that's funny as hell iv herd of back handed complements but never backhanded deals. i love it

Thanks! I'm glad you liked it! :D

As a representative of Erics I'd like to say we don't all dress like that.


...if I HAD that outfit, though, you'd best be sure I'd wear it all the damn time.

Mmm-hm. With a hood like that you don't even need a hat. It's a trend-setter, really.

cult? NO thank you. nazi = nein, kgb = njet, islam = no bloody way

always a pleasure seeing your top notch comics

I don't think that Islam and facism are entirely comparable...

x3;;

LOL... 50 virgins but you didn't mention what kind of virgins.... or do you want our imagination run wild?

I'm sure your imagination takes you to wonderful places.

you know me way too often

I don't think I wanna join a cult,either way I found myself chased by these guy forever D:

I'm sure this Eric guy is pretty persistent when it comes to recruiting new followers. :)

Oh indeed but hey stuff happens

Seems some are more susceptible to treats than others. :P

What am I supposed to do once I run out of virgins? :P

That's a good question... I guess you just wear your hat then.

Well, it might be worth it. Virgins are expensive and it is one of the traditional dragon diet staples.

I hope it's a sweet hat.

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL So true - alas...
Always found of your humor Tuuli, you made my evening ^^ ^^ ^^

Thank you! I'm glad to hear that, my friend. ^^

Wow! You did A good job at the background...

Thanks! I used a photo of a medieval city for reference. It didn't come out nearly as good and convincing as the photo, but I suppose it works as a background prop. :)

Yeah? Well join my cult and you get a hat and a waffle-iron!

I'm convinced. Where do I sign?

<sup>*resurrects Billy Mays out of the grave*

*Zombie Billy Mays lurches toward you, brandishing a 'Shamwow'*

"AUTOGRAPH...WITH... BLOOD... JUST... THAT... EASY!"</sup>


No that's too weird...

I love these two!

V.

I'm very happy that you've taken the time to follow their misadventures. It's very nice of you! :)

poo... very nice indeed... they're interesting as all get out... and I laugh my butt off... how much better could it get?

V.

LOLOLOLOL that's fantastic!

Thank you! :D

...and a hat you say? Hmmm what kind of hat I wonder.
And are these virgins male or female?

I haaate street peddlers that go out of their way to bother you - the active sale ones. Like those little cart things in the mall that try to sell you over-priced crap you don't need, and they flag people down when you walk by.
I suggest saying something outrageous to get them to snap out of their sale's pitch and actually listen to you.
My favorite is using a mean face while saying I will punch them in the throat if they don't fuck off.
Because sometimes....sometimes I am just not in the mood.

I think they're just, uh... virgins. It's a local cult, so they can't afford to be too picky.

I could never say anything nasty to people who want to sell me something. I'm too kind. I always act very apologetic and tell them that either my train is leaving in a minute or that I've already joined their book club or... well, something similar.

PAH! Ripkin doesn't join cults. Cults join Ripkin!

They should at least pay him annual tribute. :I

*Sighhhhhh* fuckin' churchies.

*snrk* I see Rip handles wandering preachers about as well as I do.

I myself have the bad habit of treating them to some tea and cookies. Then I start asking them about homosexuals, dinosaurs and neanderthals. :\

Heh. I'm getting too old to have the patience for killin' 'em with kindness. :D

... and hats. Haha. Classic.

Haha. I used to pull that on my friends a lot following the ever so popular "Join the club" phrase.

"My girlfriend dumped me." "Join the club. You get free hats."

Hats are awesome. They keep your head warm. That's probably one of the best inventions in the history of mankind.

the hat is cool and all, but i am interested in the suicide juice. is it grape flavored or cherry? i don't want the last thing i ever taste to be horrible. when you penetrate the virgin and they are no longer a virgin can you trade them in for a new one or are you stuck?

Oh yes, the suicide juice... I think that's the sort of thing they introduce later on. And if it says 50 virgins in the pamphlet, it probably means 50 virgins. You just gotta use them sparingly. Then again, once you've gone through their brain washing program, you probably can't tell whether someone is a virgin or whether there's really just 25 of them and you're simply seeing in double.

notice they don't go into detail about what kind of virgins they are, could be a lot of those star trek nerds that are considered losers even at star trek conventions xÐ

And that's the beauty of it: in case you're a complete pizza face with a desperate need to lose your virginity, you can always join the cult's internal escort program and become one of the lucky 50.

do i have to live in open dorms with no privacy? are my nuts going to get chopped off? what is the sex life like?

*snorts* 50 virgins, who needs them! ...I hope i'm not one of them tthat they are offering

I think this is one of those cults that assures it has something to offer for everyone.

Nihil curo de ista tua stulta superstitione

Besides, do you know how many cult memberships I've got? Cthulhu, Shub-Niggurath, Azathoth, Mordiggian, Yig, Tsathoggua, Abba... There's no room left in my wallet!



also, ripkin is hawt

mebbe i mentioned that already

I'm envious of your awesome memberships. When the great old ones come I bet you'll be among the first they eat while I'm stuck somewhere in the back row. :(

psst... I can get you backstage!

DON'T BE FOOLED! Virgins are bad in bed...

I agree! What's up with virgins anyway? It's the experienced ones keep things interesting... :D

Funny thing, I just thought about you a couple of days ago, wondering how have you been. You're still most active in DA, I assume? It's been such a long while. I gotta check out your galleries pronto. :)

LOL

Free Hat? Where?

Behind you! *points and runs*

*looks and turns back * Aww they ran away....OH well. I'll go to the dark side I heard they have free cable and cookies :P

50 virgins??, it sounds good!! where can I find this guy? besides, they give you a hat!!

I think Eric is the kind of guy who comes to ring your doorbell when you least expect it. :)

lol cool! =3

XD Oh, that's just awesome.

Just as you promised, eh?
XD

Exactamento!

...rip sentää käyttää päätään <'D

Mut kukaan ei kuuntele sitä. :(

surullista ;_;

Unfortunately for him those virgins are a group of nerdy D&D junkies who are verse in Cthulian.

You got it. ;D

I somehow snicker at the bottom left cleric picture... that big nose and the smirk under the hood... funny ^^

I have no idea what his eyes look like. Maybe he doesn't have any. o_o

He is a Cleric of Discordia.
"we aren't really esoteric, just no one cares about us"
Hail Eris!

Hail Eris! Hail the apple of Eris!

Fnord

Well, at least Malak is dependable in how he acts. You always know what he's going to do when theirs pussy involved.

He's a pretty straightforward guy. :)

Lol! This must have got buries somewhere in the 3000+ submissions that I've been ignoring...

3000+ is nothing! I get that many new submissions every day. Or at least that's how I feel.

I'm impressed. I can also imagine how you feel.
