Soo who is the father than ? Someone with blonde hair ? O.o

In this comic and the following one, the "Next" and "Last" buttons aren't working. (no link on them)

Well, then Alek is the father figure I guess? :D

responsible mother? is that a bad thing? not for some guys. some guys like women who have kids, and if the kids' father is out of the picture (deadbeat or dead), they like to be the father figure to those kids. just look at my dad! he got married to a german mother! my step-sisters love him.

From all I know, Maggie never wanted the engineer hat.
Seh wanted the attention from the person wearing the hat, and also to be like the person who wears said hat.

@MrIczer: She adopted the little one. At first, they were enemies because Maggie wanted her hat. (Remember that Engie's a TF2 Engineer.) But eventually Engie gave in and here we are with this.

Wait, Engie-tan's a MILF now? Who knocked her up?

/looks Tenta-Jo's direction

Don't be like that, Angie. MILFs are a thing.

Well Jo the New symmetra changes came in so you could try her.

On the other hand, I can definitely see where Jo was coming from when he was commenting on pacing. NN!! is a /mostly/ a once-a-day gag comic, so working in a longer form of narrative into it is difficult.

That said, I would've liked to have seen a few more strips to better increment the development of their relationship. As it stands they very quickly jumped from adverserial to friendly to familial and the transitions have been -as others have stated - jarring.

Re: Character development.

To be fair, this development in Angie and Maggie's relationship didn't come entirely out of the blue. There wasn't too much of it and it took foreeeeeever, but the setup was very much there.

@Brendan Kress: welll said

Takes years for people to get bored of tf2, only a few months for overwatch

@Velox: it does, a bit. a bit of character reintroduction would be nice but then again, this isn't a webcomic about story

@Xenozillex: i kno riete

@Velox: Eh, the adhoc nature of these stories is livable. I'd prefer that over Life in Aggro.

It's not the 4th wall. The lack of one is a common theme of the comic. In this case, it's just pulling Maggie out of nowhere when she is rarely mentioned, and making their relationship a key part of this arc feels like a jarring transition.

@Velox: Nerf NOW!! always had those 4th wall moments, if you love it you should be used to it at this point.

@Xenozillex: Barret did it in FF7, hell he even let her do some bartending, so it is a very good place to raise a child

7.00 be like Invoker from comic 1801 described. XD
That HUD is putting me off of playing it.

BOY, HOW SHE GONE BE A RESPONSIBLE MOTHER RUNNING A BAR, WHAT KIND OF AN ENVIRONMENT IS THAT FOR A CHILD?

Get out of here Engie, let Anne-Marie take the helm, she'll take care of us.

For a fee, of course.

This Feels like pretty bad writing tbh. I love your comic but the central storyline is starting to approach CAD levels of cringe. "Character development" needs to be constantly factored in rather than shoehorned in when its needed.

Good thing that the Christmas Event on Overwatch starts today, I'm also liking a little less in love with the game these days.

so the previous page just went gray, and it kinda makes sence now, its the tv screen, its the video we where looking at, thanks for the change

@Jarno Westhof: [But now she's a hot MILF]. Here, fixed it for ya. Btw, F stands for fanservice.

i used to find engie hot, but now shes just an old mom
