Merry Christmas everyone, and welcome to thread five (Tome 6) of our Les Nombrils/Bellybuttons storytime!
Last thread is here: We're in the home stretch now, this volume may be the most batshit crazy one of them all. The one after has a way more emotionally harrowing climax, but this is peak insanity (so far). And of course the return of the character find of 2011, Space Pirate Captain Harlock's earthly reincarnation (named, in universe, Harlock. Swear to God). And the introduction of Best Lesbian.
Previous volumes can be downloaded here (along with whatever other reaction image chaff happened to get in my folders when I ripped the threads I first read this comic in): mediafire.com/file/8zl0odea55mi16d/Vol._1.zip
I'm going to try and knock this one out fast to beat Christmas Eve dinner which is being delayed a whole hour longer. How's everyone else doing tonight?
Those of you tuning in for the first time tonight and choosing to not read through back issues will quickly learn that everything bad that happens to Vicky these next two volumes she completely deserves and half the time set up to happen to herself.
And somehow still not worst girl.

For some reason, the way the noodly girl is drawn irritates me.

Albin is fucking psychic to know to call her without any prompting at all, just 'assuming' she was going to do that.
Lucas Sanders
Megan! Hello, Megan!

This is possibly the meanest spirited thing Karine has done so far. That being said, record deal chance is important. She could have just invited Vicky to the show and figured even she can't sabotage them when the guy can see them live.
Aaron White
>summer camp SIMPSONS DID IT

Sebastian Nguyen
It's supposed to.
Wyatt Gonzalez
IT WAS ME, VICKY!
Connor Diaz
Hugo is best boy.

Evan Gray
You know the last page does raise a good question. Nobody else gets why Vicky has no off switch, to them she's just going at 300% at all times.
Gavin Morris
Vicky is the silliest.
Chase Myers

Asher Butler
Hugo is a simp.
Luis Robinson
Bless you
Dylan Rodriguez
Jenny's home life is a nightmare without exit or end.
Julian Morales
Vicky looking sexy in that outfit
Anthony Bailey
Megan is clearly waifu material. Vicky is an idiot for not getting with that.
Connor Edwards

Jaxson Long
>Best Lesbian Wow, OP, shit taste.
Luke Reyes
I actually kind of like James. He proves to be pretty bland as a person, but he's not a raging asshole like most people you meet in this comic. He does well given the nightmare universe he inhabits.
Hunter Brooks
Merely a matter of time. We need dat angst to make the payoff all the more sweeter.
Parker Morgan
Look, the only other option in this comic is Vicky and I think Megan's less shit than she is even though she lacks the secondary protagonism powers of Vicky.

I can see where Hugo gets his plump, womanly figure from.

Elijah Long
Megan is too good for Vicky but since Karine grew a spine, Vicky's character arc has been one of very slow realization of her flaws and tentative steps to address them. I really want to believe she can be a decent human being one day.
Chase Bailey
Suck it, Rebecca.
Jack Nelson
lmfao
Robert Barnes
...
Jack Sanchez
This is actually the nicest and most lucid Vicky has ever been about her emotional life and how to treat her friends.
It is actually heartwarming after seeing her for so many volumes being...Vicky.
Connor Cooper

Gavin Myers
>dat sixth panel
Caleb Nelson
>Karine and Melanie are semi-okay now
All this emotional growth, its sickeningly nice
Also, everyone should actually listen to Jenny for once. She's onto something
Elijah Wilson

Cameron Powell
>Megan is too good for Vicky >Hugo is too good for Jenny >Dan is too good for Karine >Karine is too good for Albin Is there any relationship in this comic that doesn't include at least one undeserving partner?
Aaron Diaz

Nicholas Cooper
HERE WE GO
Colton Murphy
We need to Scott Pilgrim this shit up, get two terrible people together to break the cycle. Maybe Melanie can hook up with Albin.
Carson Lewis

Jace Morales
>Not stabbing him while he was down
Vicky isn't hardcore at all, which is probably a normal human kind of thing.
Sebastian Nguyen
WHat does Bouboule mean?
Kayden Bennett
OH SHIT
Angel Collins
>cockblocking yourself whew
Jeremiah Bailey
Fatty.
Kevin Gonzalez
But Albin did nothing wrong.
Isaac Howard
RIP Albin
Joshua Davis
In the original her dad wanted her to learn English, right? Was it "bouboule" there too, or something English?
Joseph Adams
He's shitty as a person, he's controlling and cold to even his friends sometimes. He's not a murderer though.
Anyway guess what? Dinner is happening here. So this is a cliffhanger for a moment. Only three more pages! If anyone else who has this wants to finish it while I stuff my face with family, feel free, I'm sorry. I was so close, but family dinner is family dinner. Christmas, yay!
Julian Bennett
Have a good'un, OP.
Ryan Peterson
man Albin is a twat
Austin Hall
I just read hugo's lines in Fry's voices.
Austin Foster
woah
Nicholas Perry
cant be mad at you, but cmon its 3 pages lol
Christian Ward
Albin, confirmed for French Scarecrow
Cameron Cooper
Because I'm such a selfless guy, here are the last three pages.
Thanks for storytiming, op!
Jonathan Cruz
I can honestly see why Vicky would fall for Megan. The would honestly have the best hate sex of their lives.
Parker Barnes
...
Joshua Perry
she gay
Easton Taylor
Merry christmas and happy holidays, guys! Hopefully this year wasn't too shitty for you.
Jack Parker
classic Jenny
Jason Sanchez
Thanks, user...
'tis better to give than to receive, unless it's a venereal disease
Nathan Phillips
whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat
Owen Flores
Just wait 'til the next volume. She goes turbo-gay.
Colton King
thanks for another volume, and for introducing me to this entertaining story
happy holidays to you too
Aaron Russell
Why do I get the feeling they got Michael Bay to do the Hulk vs Transformers movie?
Sebastian King
Meh. I genuinely wish I had the time to go through the previous issues, but I for one have had a busy time dealing with stuff that ended in total failure anyway.
Wyatt Allen
Hugo's attraction to Jenny is based entirely on her looks. He's nice and treats her well, which puts him far above the other guys Jenny dates, but he's only slightly less shallow than Jenny.
Colton Campbell
Bonus shit.
Leo Barnes
To be fair he can't really like her for her personality - Jenny has none, she's a complete blank slate who generally takes on the characteristics of whoever she's hanging out with. It's why she became a bitch when she started hanging out with Vicky and is a nicer person when she spends time with Karine or Hugo.
Landon Hughes
>they spread out this story for a whole year Wow...
Adam Phillips
Thanks for finishing it up. I'll have a download link in a minute
Enjoy. For reasons beyond me there's a few Ekho covers in there? Either way, the last volume shall be storytimed tomorrow, around 5:30 or 6 depending on how my family things go. Hope everyone has a great Christmas!
