My current body horror threshold is a smidge lower than it was when I drew this. C’mon, man, you kicked out its eye! That’s not cool! That’s super not cool!

Oh it’s fine, just put it back in and heat it up.
A little touch-up frosting, and no one’ll ever know the difference!
Judging from some of the art on the old It’s Walky! website, your body horror threshold decreases friggin’ exponentially over time.
There goes Honey’s acting career.
“I was one of the beautiful people! Now look at me!”
Years later, and I’m still not sure how the “human wedge” thing was supposed to work. Wouldn’t applying pressure to Amber just, you know, squash Amber? How does bracing against her help when she’s also in the pudding, so to speak?
Yes, I am questioning physics in a comic about super humans. **blows raspberry**
I am probably totally wrong but Mike pushing against pudding gives him no leverage ’cause it’ll simply squish? Pushing against Amber on the other hand…
Would probably mean that Amber would squish.
It’s possible to overthink these things and I prefer to obsess about the roll of the toy in the story.
I mean, the odds are that Mike could have kicked out the eye at any time but was waiting to see what Amber would do so that he could get her to internalize the blame for whatever happened. For her own good in becoming a better person.
It’s like using an oar instead of a stick. With his strength, he can push his arms in any direction pretty freely, as the pastry offers little resistance against a fist-sized push. But with Amber there, if she remains rigid, she’ll distribute his fist-sized force across the surface of her entire body. He probably doesn’t even need to use superhuman force; his problem was lacking surface area, not power.
I have no idea how this helps him kick downward. Maybe between the two of them, they widen a gap that lets him get close enough to the eye.
I’m kinda wondering how the giant mutant honey bun’s body functions. Does it run on sugar? What are its eyes made out of? On second thought, maybe it’s better if I don’t know.
How much sentient is that thing?
Well, we can tell it possesses at least one sense, given that it has eyes. Based on its reaction when Mike hit it with a chunk of asphalt, it’s also safe to say it has tactile senses. So it’s at least 2/5 as sentient as a human.
Don’t see any clear evidence one way or the other on hearing, smell, and taste yet though.
I was going to say that, based on the evidence, Mike was reasonably sentient. But your answer works too.
Welcome to the merry world of SEMME, Amber.
“Sure, I’ll put that down in the report. I don’t think that anyone reads them anyway.”
Scribbles “not cool” down on the odd superpowers list.
Poor giant mutant frosted honey bun!
