Good News for People Who Like Bad News

Dear False Positive Readers,
This is Ashley Walton, Mike’s sister and editor of False Positive. I have really terrible, awful news and a tiny bit of good news.
You might have noticed it’s been a couple years since we’ve posted anything on this website. Well, brace yourself for the saddest update I’ll ever share.
It’s Dr. Macready!
Or a long distant relation… I guess her daughter survived the cancer. 😀
Oh, hey. Here’s a familiar face. It’s almost like False Positive is developing inter-story continuity…
What other story was it in?
Detained.
Never mind, found it in Detained.
And Wayfarer
OH NO HUE DIDN’T
…sorry. I’ve been waiting all episode for that pun and it never really fit.
That said, it’s interesting when you have an entity whose bodily purpose is quite clearly visual rather than utilitarian. They don’t really need all those eyes and horns and teeth and wigglies: they exist for the psychological effect. Granted, that’s not much of a relief for Lieutenant M.
And there goes my mind…
Well, prepare to be introduced to untold great and terrible marvels.
Oh snap!
Is that an inverted Elder Sign?
where? I cant see it, is it somewere on his body?
On the helmet
It’s the elder sign from fiction, yes. : )
Omigawd, it’s the deity from Detained!
Well, at least the entity seems quite friendly. Look he’s even smiling . . .
Marvelous!
It’s constantly a toss up as to whether this thing wants to destroy everything or just hang out and talk about how cool the infinite universe is. Maybe a bit of both?
That’s what you get for trying to be clever!
aaand Lt. Marv learns that Teal is the new Dead.
It’s nice to see that godstrosity again. I’m glad it’s doing well.
HEY! Sinistar made a cameo appearance!
Oh, hey..
I think he’s going to be just fine. He’s a very curious mofo, so if the crazy god thing offers the same thing as Oprah got, he’ll be all good.
“I’m offering you a choice… I can give you all you seek, but in exchange I will raze this space ship and all the aliens inside it. Or-”
“Marvelous! I’ll take that one.”
~Fin~
Or one of many.
That was unexpected.
Then again, this is false positive, is anything ever expected? 😀
This deity is kinda becoming the one recurrent character of FalsePositive, That’s kinda perfect, a somwehat playful Eldritch Horror represents the tone of the comic pretty well.
Just wanted to let you know BigMike I’ve never backed anything on Patreon but I’m pretty sure if you were to ever jump into it I’d take the plunge no questions asked =). Kinda feel guilty reading something this good for free sometimes :p
The sentiment and suggestion is much appreciated. I have given Patreon some consideration. I’m not overly optimistic about the number of patrons willing to support False Positive in that manner, but perhaps I will give it a try at the launch of season 3. Why not, right?
why not indeed! Anything that means you can do false positive
The crystal feature reminds me of the Ogdru Jahad from Hellboy
Also, Coyote/Wayfarer doesn’t strike me as a deity hanging around in space, waiting for sacrifices, I think he’d be borded. Maybe, in Detained, he just copied this face to make an impression?
I suspect humanity is long gone for whatever reason, and the rest of the universe is boring to the species it interacted with for so long.
There was no big round circle on the forehead of the thing in Detained. Could there be more than one of these?
Dont worry William. The elder sign is used for protection… so you shold be fine right? 😉
So would an inverted elder sign used for a curse?
protection for the colororians
IÄ! IÄ!
ANOTHER callback! 😀
stories within stories!!! looooove it!!
He’s still not showing nearly enough concern. “Oh look, I’ve been impaled with a pipe.”
“I’m being dissected, well shucks.”
“A Lovecraftian monster-god is monologuing to me, darn.”
But it’s good to see that the author is well versed in Lovecraftian literature!
