Good News for People Who Like Bad News

Dear False Positive Readers,
This is Ashley Walton, Mikeās sister and editor of False Positive. I have really terrible, awful news and a tiny bit of good news.
You might have noticed itās been a couple years since weāve posted anything on this website. Well, brace yourself for the saddest update Iāll ever share.
She already knows it’ll only slow them down? That’s more than a little suspicious.
We could assume whe knows this from having to get through them up to the door, for instance.
…if we really wanted to.
Hey it’s secret agent lady! She got better!
Her monozygotic twin – also a secret agent – arrived, and she is pissed.
A “disposable decoy + reformed trojan” plan? That does seem like the most likely one to succeed. And inside a new suit, only the face needs to look right.
Definitely not the same lady. Page 4 lady has bangs, that drift to the right, and the end of her nose is more anglo-sax ‘turn-up’ nose. This lady has more of a less ‘humped’ nose and has way more Asian or Native American heritage qualities.
Amazed that worked at all!
Wait, so the alien blob eats through protective helmets but not through padded matrasses? This sh*t doesn’t make sense.
Entirely depends on a few things: 1) what it is capable of dissolving, 2) how fast it can eat through certain materials, and c) there is no c.
Well it doesn’t seem to be eating through the brains, so maybe the mattress is memory foam. bahdahbum. ;p
Mister Brown here got *his* protective gear on while the blob was eating through the protective helmet of the guy outside. No one else we have seen have had full protective suits on, I think. What doesn’t make sense? The blob would need a few seconds to work through the thickness of the mattress. In that very little time it got shot.
The organism should want to avoid threading tentacle-umbilical-cords through holes in mattresses, doors, and walls.
Also, note that the entity seems to adjust its penetration rate depending on the material, *but* not really exactly. The hazmat guy has most of his soft skull tissue missing, probably due to the blob being in a hurry – and seeing that he looks different from most of the other victims, indicates that it might have been an undesired effect.
This means the blob can also be additionally slowed down, and, perhaps, confused, by hitting an unexpected surface type.
Bad news, lady: the creature loved that!
Now, GTFO and nuke the joint…
Seriously, if I was the remote observer for this facility I’d be doing the Anvil Chorus on the Jolly, Candy-Like Button at this point.
Aw, maaan. I ran out of updates again. š I make a point of only checking for new pages every couple of months or so, cause that way I can enjoy bigger chunks of awesome at a time- as of my last visit we were only up to page 6. It’s totally worth the wait though, and I certainly don’t begrudge you the time. Considering the quality and detail you put into each installment, it’s a privilege to be allowed to read your comics for free! Your website is one of the few where I make a point of turning off Adblocker, and rest assured that I’ll start supporting you on Patreon as soon as it becomes fiscally plausible. Fantastic job!
She definitely knows how to play tag.
“Tag! You’re It!”
Yeah, yeah…I think we can safely refer to “them” as being “it” by now…
Is there a word missing from her last balloon? (Also, great story so far! The umbilical-zombies are a great idea.)
Not blood.
It’s The Stuffā¢
Can’t get enoooough~ of THE STUFF! š
