Damn, it feels like I spent the entire month of November working on this one comic!
What is taking me so long these days???

Anywho:
This is another blast from Diago's past. I wanted to show a little more of his history with the BioPets corporation as well as how Diago relates to his predecessor. Here we have the first time Diago met Baal. Their relationship today is complicated, but it's been shaped by two crucial issues. Can you guess what they are?

Oh thats one cute little f**ker right there! I like the man being experimented on by the rat, I'd totally go for pizza any day, plus why is there a heart cube from portal in that panel?

Nice origin comic, great pacing, always love your humour, beats the usual epic sadness origins we're usually subjected to. Fantastic angles as always :)

:llama: Have yourself a llama! You're the first person to notice the weighted companion cube! :clap:
That one panel is just packed full of little side jokes! You noticed the Portals reference, but it's also a play on a lab rat experimenting on a human for a change, as well as the famous experiment were a test monkey stacked a bunch of boxes up so he could reach the bananas. There's also the small dig at the fat guy who is jumping for the junk food instead of the broccoli... too caught up in his desire to think of stacking up the boxes to reach the food.

Diago's past is probably the most somber thing about his life, so I thought it best to add some humor to keep it consistent with the usual comics I make for him.

Pffftthaha! It's the grenade that spawned an entire lifetime of grudges, fistfights, and clever one-liners. Man, Baal has got to be waaay older than he looks.

Oh, I believe Diago's place in Baal's heart was already sealed long before Diago was even born.

I think they're too mesmerized by the cuteness that is Baby Diago.
