How to Handle Exposition

Thanks to a few sharp-eyed readers, my desk has a new tenant.

This is probably as close to a Scott Meyer action figure as we're gonna get. It's actually a Star Wars Vintage Collection 2010 Rebel Commando Action Figure with all the extras removed. Sadly, the clothes are all wrong, but with some paint, I'm thinking he might make an excellent Omnipresent man!

That's better than what happened with Omnipotent Man.
What's the knifeketeer holding? I wasn't sure if it was supposed to be ice cream, or cotton candy, or a ... boxing glove on a stick.
"What's the knifeketeer holding? I wasn't sure if it was supposed to be ice cream, or cotton candy, or a ... boxing glove on a stick."
Pretty sure it's a boxing glove on a knife; he's the Knifeketeer, remember.
Also, did anyone else appreciate the exposition at the beginning to describe exposition? I found it delightful.
Hey don't kill off MacraMayhem so quickly, we could all use a little more basic instruction on the martial crafts...
I think this is the best episode ever. Although I'd like to see the Knifeketeer punch Stabby with the glove-on-a-knife. You know, just to see what happens. You could explain it through exposition.
Here I was hoping we could finally meet The Choker. Although MacraMayhem was excellent.
Very much hoping you will make an Omnipresent Man out of that action figure!
I'd totally buy a Knifeketeer action figure, no lie.
Big fan of this strip. One of the few "must read" comics for me.
Tim Rickard, Creator, Brewster Rockit: Space Guy!
Note from Scott: If this is, indeed, Mr. Rickard, I have to add that your comic is on my daily read list, and I'm regularly bitter that you thought of jokes that had never occurred to me.
If any of my readers haven't checked out Brewster Rockit: Space Guy, DO SO NOW!
Brewster Rockit has been on my daily read list since the Seattle Times dropped it from their printed comics a few years ago.
gocomics has the color version.
@SqlGuru No, no no. That would be the arch nemesis for Omnipresent man... Nowhere Man! Villains always have opposite powers.
The greatest thing about Knifeketeer is how he has a hidden right-handed boxing glove on a knife that he can pull out when he is facing the opposite direction.
"Martial crafts"
No Frax, your looking at it from the wrong perspective: Every kid would have to buy infinite action figures to replicate his superpower. Helloooooo CASH COW!
Rinkums: This was explained in an earlier comic, when rick thought the Knifeketeer up (Someone said a hero can't stab ppl or something)
I would love to see all these action figures, as well as the "Your Hide Will Make A Fine Poncho" Chia Pet.
It would be a nice, low-maintenance Chia Pet, what with its lack of hirsuteness.
I don't think I've seen anyone else mention this, so I'll throw this out there:
I think the boxing-glove knife is a reference to Green Arrow's multitude of trick arrows, specifically the boxing-glove arrow.
I want an Omnipresent Man action figure!!!!! (or at least to see a pic of that one...
