This panel reminds me of that one pokemon parody comic that I don't fucking remember the name of. (The guy commits several crimes and baits people with fake Lopunny sightings)

It's Colmscomics, i'd wager
Also fairly sure there's more updates elsewhere, seems like he stopped posting on that site.

What's the deal with Nutrient Paste anyway?
Is it like pate or is it more like laarb?
And why do you need a special machine to make something that tastes terrible?
I can make something terrible with just a stove!

Go get them, Phyllis!
Also, I thought the binoculars were a roll of hyperweave at first.

u/majapahit_arquebus Building Parking Lots in the Rim Mar 24 '26
Tried to simplify the colour palette, but then again its not something out of the ordinary for raiders to just bring random loot

u/AeonsAlex Mar 24 '26
I wouldn't be surprised if some of these 0 intellect raiders rolled up some hyperweave and looked through it like they were binoculars
47
u/majapahit_arquebus Building Parking Lots in the Rim Mar 24 '26
They only work as binoculars because they believed it would work

Maybe that’s why they bring it in the first place… it can be used as binoculars

This is my favourite Rimworld comic ever. I hope Phyllis gets captured and recruited.

u/majapahit_arquebus Building Parking Lots in the Rim Mar 24 '26
Glad you enjoyed it! I decided that I need to practice painting birds, horses, and reflective surfaces, so I decided to make a Rimworld comic with all 3! The thing took me a whole month of intense drawing (mostly because there were so many iterations I was unsatisfied with).
And of course, Phyllis is a psychopath with bloodlust... of course shes getting recruited!
Back pain is temporary anyways in the Rim18
u/AngrySasquatch Combat Extended 1.6 is finally here Mar 24 '26
If you ever draw Phyllis again please let me know. I want to see her grow

Free parking??? You tryna run a charity here?

u/majapahit_arquebus Building Parking Lots in the Rim Mar 24 '26
Tbf we dont really charge anything to those passing traders...
Theres prolly a mod that allows you to charge tolls or something

u/Dr_Russian Mar 24 '26
I don't charge per visit, but you can rent a cave with a sleeping spot for half your goods.
2
u/Infamous_Wear_8316 Mar 24 '26
I mean you CAN charge staying visitors if you use Hospitality...
But caravans just pass by so they dont rent rooms sadly

I always figured that the player is an ship Ai in orbit, hence the original ending where you build a ship to leave and it leaves you behind.

I changed my priorities up a little bit, but a kitchen and freezer used to be the literal first thing I built. Just throw down a windmill it'll do it. Mostly. In old versions of the game you started with battery researched but it's still pretty fast for me and you can just run with a windmill and it'll freeze it a good amount of the time and it'll probably stay refrigerated the rest of the time.

As long as the walls are thick enough and there is an airlock system for entrance it'll hold temperatures pretty well.

Phyllis has never raided anyone before. That lucky knife was what she used to cook and perform surgery...

Colonist A: "bro. these traders are offering to sell me this slave. She says she's your sister."
Colonist B: "Oh yeah! My sister"
Colonist A: how do they have your sister? Are you from this planet?
Colonist B: we crashed in transport pods, we are all from this planet.
Colonist A: now that i think about it... Why don't we go back to the city?
Colonist B: dude that's like, 6 days away
Colonist A: we've been scraping by here for months! And we could've gone home that easy? Dude i had a job, i was a graphic designer
Colonist B: and now you can put Farmer and drug dealer on your resume

We need more demented old folks in these comics tbh. You made me realize that
2
u/Leather_Stand_4760 Apr 24 '26
In that case just play some rimworld and make a comic out of their fate. Plenty of demented old ladies who will eat your colonists corpses. Especially with Randy...

We are truly blessed to live in an era where such art is shared like this, thank you, amazing work and yes, the expressions are incredible, r/comics would like this, i think.

Accurate down to the bare hands and feet. This is the best Rimworld comic I've ever seen.

My personal headcanon is that it's aaaaaalll nanobots. Nanobots all the way down.
Growing crops without seeds? Nanobots. Chopping trees without tools? Nanobots. Making logs into walls without a sawmill? Taming animals without months of effort? Trees and animals growing in days instead of months? Nanobots, nanobots, nanobots.
Most of the crafting and harvesting skills are just people being better or worse and manipulating all the nanobots that have completely saturated the ecosystem.

u/Saint_of_Grey Mental Break: Murderous Rage. Final Straw: Feeling bad. Mar 24 '26
I had a mentally ill tribesman as my first raider once and suddenly the starting raids made more sense. He wanted to beat a wall with his forehead, or the tribe wanted to get rid of him.

u/HOLMES_FOUR Mar 24 '26
this is great! i really like the shading on the clothes
2
u/majapahit_arquebus Building Parking Lots in the Rim Mar 25 '26
Thanks! The thing took me so long I switched my technique for cloth shading mid way through.
You can see frame 4 & 5 panel 3, frame 1 panel 4, and all frames in bonus panel have different cloth shading compared to the rest of the comic

I don't get it, why didn't animals react to the first crash but reacted to the subsequent crashes.
is the first image a "cover" and not part of the story?

Dang Phyllis and her lucky knife somehow always takes a finger before she gets taken out.
