DAMN YOU, WILLI- oh… Uh… DAMN YOU, ROZ!
In your defense…I’m sure it was a team effort betwixt the two.
Willis probably thought he was breaking into Ethan’s apartment.
DAMN YOU SKITTY!
DAM, YOU BEAVERS!!!
YOU DANG WOODCHUCKS! QUIT CHUCKIN’ MY WOOD!
Your mom chucked Mike’s wood for a nickel.
Where si Wailord when you need her!?
I can’t tell if Roz is helping, or pouring water on a grease fire.
Helping. It’s not the help Jacob deserves, but it’s the help Jacob needs.
Damn, what is it with me with Willis comments and The Dark Knight tonight?
If I say that a Lego will fall apart, or a box of GI Joes will have weapons missing then nobody panics, because it’s all part of the plan, but if I eat one little avenger… well then everyone just loses their heads.
Depends on if Jacob is actually a full-fledged hoarder or not. He could be a collector whose affairs and house have gotten out of hand… but he seems to have implied, as a warning to Ethan, that it was a genuine hoarding problem.
If he’s a full-fledged hoarder in the psychological sense, he may have attachments to the objects themselves, or to the collection as an intact whole, that CANNOT be broken by taking his stuff away out of his side or without his involvement.
Hoarders whose hoards are removed without their consent or without their help and input, such as those subject to “forced cleanups” like on “Hoarders” (which is basically exactly what Roz is doing here, just a lot more slowly and more surreptitiously) tend to suffer anxiety as a result.
They can have psychological breaks, it can cause strain on the relationships with those who have removed portions of the hoard (which is seen as an intrusion or outright betrayal), and can, and often does, cause a backslide or increase in hoarding behavior.
Think of it like this: if someone went into your room and started taking shit, or throwing it in the garbage, wouldn’t you feel a little distressed? To a hoarder, the hoard is part of their nest, as it were, and messing with the nest creates a defensive reaction at best.
Leaving aside my own experiences, if you don’t believe me, give this book a read: Stuff: Compulsive Hoarding and the Meaning of Things, (by Gail Steketee and Randy Frost). It does a pretty good job of showing the potentially disastrous results of a cleanup effort that doesn’t involve the hoarder themselves.
If they were actually doing a real intervention, forcing Jacob to address his attachment to each object in turn and talk him through why he needs to let go of a good chunk of them, that might actually work.
But just randomly having a lamprey-mouthed kitty swallow it?
Yeah, this is Not Going To End Well.
I’m liking that Roz and Jacob still interact with one another.
Even biblically?
even carnally?
Even in a sexual manner, seeing as it’s potentially damaging to Jacob’s psyche and ability to live a healthy life?
They are sharing a firm chewy candy made from caramelized sugar and butter?
*puts on glasses* oh?… OH! … >_< … never mind ….
So… evil or not? We shall see…
So far I wouldn’t call it “evil”, just selfish and ill-advised. Either the grossness of his apartment is bugging her and she just started to “fix” it without consulting him (which would be REALLY selfish), or she’s attempting to “help” him under the misguided idea that a hoarder without a hoard is a normal person.
In truth, a hoarder who loses part of all of their hoard without consciously choosing to get rid of it themselves, is just more stressed out than they were when they were forming the hoard in the first place… it’s like messing with the nest of a really territorial bird. You will get pecked HARD.
I’m hoping for “misguidedly trying to help” not just “getting rid of someone else’s stuff because it bugs you”. But who knows.
he’s not missing anything, those figures are literally the only “meh” thing to come out of that movie.
I’m so used to hating Malaya that I’m kinda having a problem recalling Roz’s character.
Malaya + Slut – Lizard / Nice-To-Leslie * (Once-Bought-Her-A-Kitty) ^ Robin(Tiny)
I’m not sure if you should divide niceness to leslie. Roz is kinda nice to everyone. It’s Leslie who hates her.
I divided because both Roz and Malaya are nice to Leslie. It’s a common denominator, see.
ah. well maybe we should add glasses.
Roz is only “nice” to everyone because she wants things from them. She’s Malaya but without Malaya’s actual sincerity. After all: Malaya may be a #&*@, but she’s a *sincere* #&*@. She means it when she likes/dislikes someone. Also, Roz is being just as bad as Drew with his obsession of “get rid of your stuff.”
I was really liking Roz. It’s too bad she has to die now.
I’m not sure if this is supposed to be a slight against people who collect toys just the acknowledgment that anything from the loins of Choo Choo Bear and Sprinkles is the spawn of hell.
hey….I like special K…
What’s wrong with Doom Kitty (aside the fact that it is a ghost)?
And I also like Special K…
At least the place is looking cleaner now. I have a room full of junk I’d love to have absorbed into a gaping maw of doom.
Do you think Roz would rent out Singularikitty to me for an afternoon? I tried checking her website to see if she offered this service, but it wanted a credit card number and said “$10 a minute”. That seems a rather steep price for a little pussy.
(I’m totally going to hell for this comment)
It’s okay if the person you’re helping knows it, but this is her going behind Jacob’s back with an eating machine and the justification that it’s for their own good. Most people hate it when you pull that crap with them.
Yeah, unless these two have developed MUCH more of a relationship behind the scenes than I am aware of, OR unless Roz has suddenly gotten a degree and some experience as a medical health care professional…
This is called stealing.
At least, however, this one might be something she’s trying to do for him, rather than creepily and evilly doing TO him. So…this does 0% to rehabilitate her rapiness to me, but it doesn’t add to her evilness factor, either.
Attention Mr. Willis and figure collectors!
You can get YOUR face on a custom action figure!
http://www.thatsmyface.com/vmchk/Custom-Action-Figures-from-YOUR-Photo/View-all-products.html
(I am not connected with this company. However, I thought a number of regulars, including Mr. Willis, would find this of interest.)
I already have a Harry Potter toy!
Wait… You’re really Daniel Radcliffe?!
Picture Willis naked on stage with a horse. Picture it.
I think my brother saw that show in Mexico.
Yes sir, the Mexico City community theatre troupe does one great show of Equus.
This…this is Roz doing kind-of-good, right? She’s not pure evil, she just likes to run life as she sees it.
I think so. The difference between Ethan and Jacob when it comes to collecting is that:
Ethan is organized. His collection is shelved. Some are in storage, but he generally has control on things. Money in the back, not scattered unopened boxes everywhere, pays his bills. All that.
Jacob? Jacob has his various collectables scattered about. They sit unopened and are collected but not really because he takes pride in them. It’s because he just kind of wants. Sure Ethan wants too. But Ethan doesn’t have three pizza boxes on his table and a giant bag of trash behind the door. Roz is cleaning up Jacob’s place because he really needs this. He had things under control and she kind of destroyed all that… I think she feels bad.
But hey I don’t write this comic now do I? (If I did it’d have a wacky evil scientist whose idol is Cobra Commander…)
Now that sounds interesting.. the wacky evil scientist bit.
Why do scientists always have to be evil, wacky, insane or a sociopath aka Reed Richards?
Why can’t we have a scientist or engineer who is good at what they do and is a *gasp* interesting/nice person?
Would never happen since the artsies do the exact same thing as the Jocks and denigrate those who they deem *those people* …. *le sigh*
Mind you I like the idea of a character who idolizes Cobra Commander … “So he was a bit of a megalomaniac but look at the organization he put together” ….. Think about it … you know you are starting to like the idea …. I know you are.
“Sure he was evil but he treated his employees so well! Recreation centers, unemployment and retirement benefits, why they even have better health insurance then the Joes!”
Jacob sucked all of the toppings and sauce off of that pizza slice in the first panel. =O
Jacob has a pizza collection, he was just doing that to preserve it without too much unecessary rotting.
Great – now she’s going to accidentally train Singy to eat naked women.
okay…i have been meaning to ask this…
wtf are “choo choo bear” and “sprinkles” ?
Cats
They’re the parents of Singularikitty. Choo-choo Bear is the cat from “Something Positive”. Sprinkles…I forget.
Sprinkles is from Girls with Slingshots. Choo-Choo is a pink, gelatinous cat, who travels thru the plumbing, vents, etc. They had kittens, and they were given other comic’s homes. All New Issues has another of the litter.
roz want’s to take jake to the bone zone (HA RHYMES)
on the coffee table
I bought the Iron Man Firestrike Attack Jet and the Captain America Crawler Tank. They came with some pretty sad sucky figures but that hardly matters because I am going to turn them into huge vehicles for 15mm sci-fi table top war gaming with some paint, glue, and left over plastic things that might look cool on ‘em.
BTW it should totally be illegal to sell a Captain America without a shield. Captain America doesn’t just leave his shield at home when he’s out driving his big goofy made up plastic movie spin-off tank.
I don’t know if they are an example of the Avenger’s figures quality or just some lame pack in crap but they are pretty bad and their have soft bendy legs. And Iron man has a tiny little head. I’m going to leave them both on a picnic table at the park this weekend. I just wanted their silly unnecessary vehicles that were obviously designed as GI Joe alpha type toys and then shifted over after being cheapened up and painted funnier colors than usual.
There will be a Helicarrier toy coming out that might make a cool sci-i massive landing vessel.
…Wait. Is this gonna be a Roz week?
I’m so happy!
Watch out Jacob! It’s gonna relieve you of your hoarding problems!
I can’t watch
Now Jacob will go from hoarding to whoreding….
Maybe he’ll just start collecting girls. Although Joe does that, and the two didn’t get along that well.
Phew. For a second there I thought this was revealing Jacob to be a MISB collector.
Just noticed the title of this arc. Brilliant!
He’s going to find out what she did, and while for some things, he’ll be relieved, for others, he’ll be PISSED.
Wow. She’s really good at diverting.
The really galling thing is that she knows what she’s doing will hurt others, she just doesn’t care.
Woo Roz! maybe its because of DoA but i really like roz, shes not the nicest person but shes not a dick
It’s not like he’ll have any trouble finding more Avengers crap in stores.
Sounds like someone is about to get murdered.
only if he finds out the truth.
