Mr. Gentleman Crab
Chapter: Season Five, Season Six
I was totally going to jerk you guys around for a while but decided not to. Yes, Carlos is in the group.
While researching exotic japanese snacks, I discovered they make GRILLED CORN KIT KATS and I am telling you right now, I WANT TO TRY THEM SO MUCH.
HOVER-TEXT: Do not taunt Mr. Gentleman Crab.
Man, I wouldn’t. Not after that lawsuit.
You have no idea how happy this makes me.
Santa Brett, giving the gift of feeling comfortable. And crabs. Do you win a prize if you find a monocle in the bag?
Yes. You win a monocle. It’s all the rage in Japan.
And soon to be the good ol’ United States thanks to this! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/weiner/the-gentlemans-single-use-monocle
I can’t believe thats backed for 400%
potato salad shadow sun after that NOTHING suprises me on kickstarter
I am proud to say that I am an investor in that VERY project!
Nice to see that resolved.
No player should ever fear the table just because others are there.
Agreed. Way to go Brian in making everyone new welcome!
Really shows that besides his sometimes dickish ways, he is old hat at this and knows how to make a new player feel welcome at the table. An important skill for any niche hobby.
Flat out, that’s my favorite thing Brett’s ever done.
Exactly my thought.
Brett?? 😯
Being Santa has helped his manners immensely.
Nice to see Brett’s gotten better at things.
I must still hold out hope that Dallas will be okay. 🙁 Poor girl.
Brett has changed a little since he’s been gone. I like it. Plus I love the Amos and Andrew joke, hah.
I myself like the shrimp chips and the green tea daifuku…….
Being santa has really helped him with group skills it seems. Tho im sure hes still brett at the table. 🙂
Anyone have any contacts in japan to hook him up with some kit kat crabs?
I literally couldn’t help vocalizing “Ohhhhhh that was so cool” at one in the morning while others were sleeping around me.
Oh gosh, I really like this side of Brett.
….. man, now I kinda wanna see how he interacts with Dove.
I got $40 that says he still acts like his old self where our dear Mr. Dove is concerned.
Anyone else notice how Brett’s gamer bag is red? 😉
Well of course. After all, Santa needs his sack to carry the presents.
SANTA! Sorry, I’m fine. We’re all fine here now. How are you?
I need to find a wig and whatever you call a beard wig, or is that all just one big wig? And go be Brett. Ah, if only I hadn’t had to chop my mane off I could pull off a decent Brett for a con.
I love Santa Brett. Thank you for bringing him into existence, my lord Brian.
If you live on the west coast I’m almost positive you can find them at Uwajimaya.
I really like the fact that the final part of Brett’s dialog is a gamer variant of the Santa line,” Come have a seat on Santa’s lap and tell me what you want for Christmas.”
I love how Brett’s grown as a character.
I completely agree. Seems spending so long away has taught him a few things, though I do hope he’s still as foul mouthed at the table as he was before. Call me crude, but as a southern boy, I love me some good ol’ fashioned cussin’.
I am so proud of Brett he has grown a lot as a human being since his departure
If I ever get to go to Japan, I am loading up on weird Kit Kats.
Dude, the growth on Brett. That was awesome. A webcomic where characters grow and change as the plot advances, one of the many reasons I love this strip.
Yes THIS, a thousand times this! The characters grow and feel ‘real’ – both at the table and away from it.
Please tell me there’s gonna be a Mr. Gentleman Crab shirt.
seconded!
Oh wow, all the warms and fuzzies! I can’t say I don’t like that Brett is displaying such an amount of kindness. Still it’s a bit strange, startling, suspicious? But I guess that is normal when you don’t meet with someone for long and they come back a different person. Though old habits die hard, so maybe we will see some struggle with old-Brett?
Anyway, I’m looking forward to this arc more and more 😀
>>>MR Mcstabby relaxes . . . .oh yeah . .thats the stuff . . .but the blind guy better walk in with handcuffs . . . .HANDCUFFS I SAY 😛 just kidding (mostly)
I’m so happy about Brett!
Awesome Santa Brett is so much more awesome than Jerk-Ass Brett.
Wait, what? What has happened right now? Who is this guy with the beard?
You’ll recognize him when he sits down. I think he might’ve gotten better at some of his attitudes… but I don’t think he’s changed that much.
Nice to see Brett growing out of being the insufferable jerk he could be in the earlier strips. Let’s hope it sticks, at least somewhat.
He’s fucking Santa Claus. Of course he’s capable of being a nice person.
The KitKat thing is because Japan is absolutely crazy about collectibles. “Gotta catch’em all” isn’t just about Pokémon at all! X)
Mr. Gentleman Crab t-shirt, please.
*shakes fist at Brian*
How DARE you make me tear up over something really good happening…
yep . . i felt that moment too Artemisia . . .but i trusted Brian would not drop me so low before Easter 🙂
My first D&D group was actually my parents… so, born and raised.
But I have social phobia, and the gaming group I was joining was pretty intense, overall… and they were HS and college kids, when I was 12
So this brings back fond memories of a bunch of college kids being blown away that I knew the rules, and supporting me despite my age and worries.
So, now I’m sitting here crying happy tears.
And I just wanted to say…
Welcome back Brett. And thanks, Brian, you made my day~
Holy wow….Brett’s ACTUALLY changed! Holy wow!
I love how you have created the illusion of a terrible sounding food that has a cult of people who actually like eating it, like in the real world. But really, how can you say no to a crab when he’s dressed so dapper, and a gentleman by all accounts. I bet his pinchers are always clean, and never hurt too much. So are these like “crab puffs” or like real baby crabs in your mind?
They are both “Sugar-coated” and Horseradish. God only knows what is going on in that bag.
MAGIC.
It could be like Crunchy Frogs…you know, the confection that is a whole, raw baby frog “dew picked and flown from Iraq, cleansed in finest quality spring water, lightly killed, and then sealed in a succulent Swiss quintuple smooth treble cream milk chocolate envelope and lovingly frosted with glucose.”
I should point out that’s not a real confection, just in case people don’t get the reference.
Anyone who does not recognize Python should be forcibly encouraged to learn and thus be ‘one of us’.
Is nobody gonna point out how his backpack is red… and contained a gift. .3.
Well, he is Santa. I can’t help but wonder what all he has in that sack.
The year without Brett… worth it to see him like this. Not only mellowed out, but being nice and enjoying it. I bet once he gets gaming though the loveable old asshole will emerge to bark and bitch at Sam and the others.
While I’ve never been to Japan or had wierd flavored Kit Kats, I have been to China and have had a corn flavored milk candy (White Rabbit Corn Flavored). It really does taste like eating a can of corn. The chocolate & original flavored taste normal.
To think how much Brett has changed from the early days, when he was adamantly opposed to expanding the gaming group.
IS NOONE GONNA MENTION SANTA IS PLAYING DND?!!!! Gasp :O
what dd you think he did in his off time?
i’m calling it the red back pack is a covert Santa sack
Several things worth mentioning, not sure I like the Amos and Andy reference, racial allusions aside, it seems out of place just by sheer obscurity. Also wouldn’t Carlos have mentioned his shyness during the interview? What’s up with that?
Will we ever see more of how Brett spent his time at the North Pole, we know Brett came back changed but what did he go through to get where he is now, there has to be more to it than just time away from loved ones
Okay, I didn’t read through all the comments to see if someone has already said this, but…
BRETT GAVE CARLOS CRABS!!!
“Tell me about your character” has got to be one of the most welcoming overtures a player can give another player.
Makes me think of shrimp flavored fries. Though you can get those here. 🙂
I have been meaning to order a japanese kit kat sampler
