2.11 was surprisingly easy to pick a favorite: bstorer for #208803. I mean really, there is just no topping Mandatory JAPANESE GAME SHOW Day.
Here's today's blank.

You have it confused. There are two stories going on at the same time in MFD: Gilroy's job, which is the one run by the fruitcake on the boat (L'Amour Industries, I think?), and Stephen Le'Vamp's zany adventures at Magenta Corp, which is of course run by Mr. Magenta the wannabe supervillain from the first "season" of MDF.

I'm also trying to figure out who Gilroy works for, I'm sure he was on the boat yesterday, shore leave???
Admin
Magenta could have his HQ on an aircraft carrier, and the ship could transform into a giant robot, a semi, a bird, a cassette recorder, anything.
Admin
Magenta co. looks exactly like my work... yikes!

Ha!

Gilroy works for (presumed name, since none has been given) Mr. L'Amour, the balding nutcase on the boat.
Here's the timeline:
Season 1: Gilroy graduates college, gets a job as a contractor (via shady recruiter) to work for Magenta Corp. By the end, Magenta thinks he's a spy and fires him an hour before his contract is up.
Pre-Season 2: Gilroy is in the cage by the gorilla. Presumably has several interviews at this point, but nothing comes to fruition.
Season 2: Gilroy is hired by L'Amour, or rather browbeaten into thinking he agreed to the job. Meanwhile, Magenta hires the vampire Stephen Le'Vamp because he has the "Medallion of Power". Magenta also lures COBOL Bill back to work through treats. He evidently now also has some day laborer Java programmers, who Bill rounded up from some computer store.
Like I said, there are two different stories going on, and the comics alternate between the two: Gilroy's story, and Magenta's.

This really isn't making much sense, but then MFD never had any substance. Is this why Gilroy lost his biohazard specs in recent comics and "he" suddenly has them on now?

But Gilroy was in this one, on the frist frame!

Gilroy is the kid. The guy with the glasses is Jenkins, Mr. Magenta's assistant/toady/Smithers
The people in this comic are:
Mr. Magenta: Shredder/Magneto impersonator Stephen Le'Vamp: Vampire w/medallion Jenkins: Weedy guy with glasses and penis-looking hair W3C: Stick figures outside Magenta HQ
Admin
You're probably joking KD, but for the record Gilroy has spiky front forward hair. Jenkins has the small pyramid sticking out of his.

My bad. I obviously haven't been following too well. But can you blame me? ;)
Admin
hahaha...we have a winner. :D
Admin
Haha, this one's great.

This is awesome.
Thank you. You, sir, win the internet.

Winner. Simply because someone is strangling a penguin.

That stupid penguin is more annoying than the MS paperclip! Yeah I said it!
Admin
Awesome!
Admin
So I've finally realised that Gilroy and Jenkins are actually different characters. Glad I'm not the only person who missed out on that rather pertinent point. Alas, it doesn't make any of the comics any funnier...
I'm joking, I love MFD! Between reading this and doing work, it's a no-brainer!
Admin
Admin
... it's a no-brainer that doing work is better, right?

Just for the record, orange juice up the nose burns. Teach me to eat breakfast and read the MFD comments.

Please tell me I haven't dropped a letter somewhere. Please tell me I haven't dropped a letter somewhere. Please tell me I haven't dropped a letter somewhere. Please tell me I haven't dropped a letter somewhere.
I was thinking of something relevant like 'MANAGEMENT something something' which leaves TRACESTYPIG.
Maybe I could have...
Admin
I hate the penguin too!
Admin
Awesome.
