Let Me Tell You About the Man I Met When I Was Young.

Howdy, readers! Today I have for you an Episode 259! Officer Friendly decides to share the wealth, but Mai remains extremely skeptical. Rika, meanwhile, already knows which Chinese restaurant she wants to hit up on the way home.

Thanks for all that voting, folks! OHP was in the top ten for about a week and a half this month, which is totally awesome and completely unheard of... until now! The sleeping giants have awoken, of course, but we're still holding on to an extremely respectable 19th on the list. Keep fighting the good fight!

Bionic Commando: Rearmed finally came out! I never got very far in the original--mostly because I didn't own it and was completely terrible at it--but I still had some fond memories of the experience, and have been pretty psyched about the prospect of a ground-up remake. I was not disappointed. I don't think it's an exaggeration to say that this is some of the best 2D platforming in years, and it's certainly at the top of the list for the 360. Not only that, but some serious 8-bit flavored beats to go along with it? Has real gaming finally made a comeback? If I'm dreaming, don't wake me up!

Comments? (5 so far)

This immediately reminded me of Tailsteak's old "Undercover Cops" joke:

I really like how you've improved your drawing of Ruby in the latest chapters; I just miss the time when a picture of Ruby was actually a picture of Ruby. The only criticism I have is that her lapels are getting ridiculously twirly.

I like flipping between the first panel of this comic, and the last panel of the one before it.

OHP! OHP! OHP! I wanna meet a cop like officer friendly. All the cops I meet just want to destroy me utterly.

GENIUS!
