Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

I just wanna know what the red guy's plan was. He hangs out in arcades as a veteran of the, uh, sport, and coaches others in being one with the machine... then acts surprised when they achieve it.
If this is the first time his advice has worked, I once again ask: what the hell is his overall plan in being there.
His advice can "work" without the person dissolving into the fundamental essence of the claw machine. The much more likely, third option is "the vague, trite advice gets them out of their own head and lets them keep trying without crashing out until they win."
That's fair. And then he shrinks back into the shadows and waits for the next guy having an existential crisis. I guess I just really want to know whether the red guy works for the machine or not
