Aaahh, bureaucracy! If there’s one aspect of the 40K universe that I love it’s the utter futility of the Administratum; it kinda reminds me Terry Gilliam’s “Brazil” (Still one of my all time favourite films). Another aspect would be the servo-skulls; cause who wouldn’t want their skull performing menial tasks after they died?
So here we see the repercussions of Berger’s inability to remember Crispe’s name; or anyone else’s for that matter. The next page rounds out this storyline, and Josh and I have been churning out the next one. We’ve also taken stock of all the victories and defeats we had with the current one, and hope that we can solve some of the major problems (the schedule for one).
Last week “Nick” posted a comment about ads and advertising for GW. Allegations of our dorkiness aside, I assure you that any ad revenue GtG has made hasn’t even justified the ad service writing me a cheque; at this rate it’ll be 3-4 years before I see my first $50. It was an experiment and it hasn’t really panned out. Heck, of all the site’s “Sponsors”, Bit Kingdom was the first – and they never paid up. So I guess what I am saying is that as an ad revenue generator, GtG isn’t doing so hot. Gimmick? Nah… Gone to Ground was born out of a pint-fueled pub conversation (literally) Josh an I had about the humorous side of 40K and how it’s being lost in all the Grim-Darkiness™ – which kinda makes it all the more funny.
I think Reece and Ladell also deserve a posthumus decoration! The poor bastards…
Maybe Wafer too.
Two things:
1. A good Commissar would consider an investigation on Berger, since his persistence to survive in the contrary to his designated squads could be a matter of warp treachery. In fact a even better Commissar would shoot him outright, just to spare his important time and to inshure that morale keeps high.
2. Now as Baby Chipps becomes a “posthum” appointed warhero the Adeptus Ministorum clearly can’t tolerate the undenyable fact it might have had the name of Chipps wrong by naming him private Crisps in the first place. Baby Chipps therefore faces imidiate recruiting and transport to the next possible warzone for a voluntary suicide commando.
You call me wrong? I say it’s 40k, where “luck” just brings you into deeper trouble!
Oh and glad to see a good strip again, keep ‘em coming!
That 2. point is very brilliant. I sorta want that to happen.
AND BABY CHIPS AGE 2 GOT SHOOT BY THE COMMISIONER FOR DESERSATION WHEN HE ASKED FOR A BOTTLE OF \
MILK MAY THIS BE A WARNING TO YOU ALL MILK DRINKING MAMA’S BOYS.

COMMISIONER ASSHOLA
I like that one, too.
BLAM!
Yeah… a commisar shooting berger, firstly this squad of guardsmen isn’t deemed worthy of a commisar, 2. don’t you think shooting one of the few veterans they have may actually DAMAGE morale?
Dear Commisar Asshola, we are conducting investigations into your… “questionable” methods as your behaviiour is increasingly erratic as of late.
I will be convening with you shortly as my inquisitor has requested.

hurm – WHO QUERIES THE INQUISITION?!
Don’t you know the old Commissar joke:
‘BLAM’ Commissar executes Soldier no.1.
Commissar: “Now that should bolster up morale!”
Soldier no.2: “No it doesn’t!”
‘BLAM’ Commissar executes Soldier no.2.
Commissar (smug): “No it DOES!”
But I might admit that is funnier in german because my english sucks:
‘BÄM’ Kommissar erschießt einen Soldaten.
Kommissar: “Das hebt die Moral!”
Soldat: “Tut es nicht!”
‘BÄM’ Kommissar erschießt den Soldaten.
Kommissar (süffisant): “Tut es DOCH!”
Also auf deutsch kommt das ganze wirklich besser rüber!
The joke´s much better if you can read it in German.
