WHAT KIND OF VILE, DEPRAVED MIND DOES THAT? A DROWNING POOL OF PBR? INSULT TO INJURY. I mean, if it were urine, it'd smell better and probably have more alcohol. If it were acid, at least that has some cred. Instead, it's.. it's… Possibly the worst way to die ever.
I don't really get the whole hipster thing but will dress up as one for Halloween so that I totally get the chance to drink a PBR in a sort of ironic reference to people drinking PBR Ironically. Then I will put on my too small children's sunglasses and Jean Baudrillard will ejaculate in his grave.
Not sure I would drink beer, or anything for that matter, that I literally stumbled upon in an underground torture chamber. But I suppose if you're on the way out, a taste couldn't hurt!
Oh man, I just have this to say: I began reading this truly wonderful, charming, fantastic comic last night. I have spend about 6 consecutive hours to read up to this point. It feels both immensely satisfying, yet a moment passes and I feel the crushing reality that I must now wait for the next update. *sniff*
But seriously, Mer, Octopus Pie has to be the best webcomic, if the best comic, I have read to date. Cartoonish, whimsical, ironic, sarcastic, and realistic, with sprinklings of pop-culture references here and always constant believable dialog, with characters that the reader cares about. Not to mention exceptional illustrations, blending reality with cartoon. Brilliant.

Cheap liquid gold? To die in wealth of spirit.

That's how I wanted to go when I was 19.

Peanut Butter? Eddy from Iron Maiden? A navi dying? Good times.

Oh wait, Past Blue Ribbon, even MOAR good times

Pabst Blue Ribbon
Taylor Lopez (TeaLo)
lol ya I read that phonetically the first time too, I was like "Peanut butter? How is she sinking that fast?"
lol
dood
is that a torture device that dangles an iPhone just beyond your reach? A terrible death to die.
Also, Listening to Iron Maiden… IN and Iron Maiden. A hilariously ironic fate.
ADHadh
Too bad it's not actually ironic, but whatever.
JR
It is if you're an Iron Maiden fan.
Avernus
Do all you asshats even know what "ironic" means, or do you enjoy just slinging words around for the past 400 comics?
LaraCorp
iiironyyyyy……. lol jk
Kylogram
Apparently, Marigold can't swim, or can't swim in alcohol.
Fady
Being forced to wear headphones and listen to Iron Maiden, while INSIDE an iron maiden?
We are dealing with a master of irony here.
NextChamp
I didn't know alcohol had quicksand-like properties….
Also, the summary saying this won't end in time for Halloween made me laugh.
Annapie
Sorry, silly question……..is Will wearing a skirt?
a commentor
its just a long jacket
Bok
Bwhaha. The torture devices are great. 😀
spade
how about being "stuck" inside an iron maiden, while being forced to watch bill & teds excellent adventure with said reference on repeat? :p
MerchManDan
Will. The party? Let it go.
And this torture chamber…the iPhone (or similar device), irony maiden (*snerk*), Pabst Blue Ribbon bath. It has "hipster" written all over it.
DONOVAN!! J'accuse!! (or, should that be "Je t'accuse?" My French is a bit rusty)
CLR
That would be "je t'accuse", although if you want to go all Emile Zola-esque on the guy, you could also say: "J'accuse Donovan!"
– resident Frenchperson (among other nationalities)
eleanor rigby
Je t'accuse is correct!
Donovan's an asshole, but I'm still holding out for Manuel. Cats are evil.

dood
dammit, you're right!! it IS an irony maiden!! which is in and of itself ironic!
BurntToShreds
You got somethin' against the Maiden? Huh? HUH?!
André
I tryied once to listen "The Number of the Beast". I really wish I liked it. But I didn't.
And they kind of sucks. Sorry, pal.
BurntToShreds
They have plenty of other songs, like Two Minutes to Midnight or The Trooper. Try those.
Minz
How could you Andre. How. Could. You.
Lee Taggart
Just because you don't like it doesn't mean it sucks. They're incredibly talented musicians whether their music appeals to you or not.
Steve
Oh Merrydeath, you've outdone yourself yet again…
Bin
If Marigold is at all awesome, she'll pop up during the climax, having drunk her way to the ground, to save Will and Marek from certain death.
Mayday
C'mon champ, just drink your way to solid ground.
If it's Donovan do I win a priiize? o3o
Tim
Isn't that just one of Jeph's music pods?

Yeah, there be some excellent hipster contrapasso up in he-yah.

The Iron Maiden album just sitting innocently on the shelf…… I love it.

Drowning in a beer unfit for consumption – equals being consumed.
Is that Eve's Narc-y ex hanging up there?
Jambe
Getting a crazy Vincent Price movie vibe from this.
I like it.
Bob
Yep, "The House on Hipster Hill."
YeltsinYerMouth
I love the iron maiden that you may listen to Iron Maiden in.
Alain
Great quote:
"This party is somehow going to be FUN"
Crane
Heh, House on a Haunted Hill.
tripleaces
Dying in Pabst.
There has never ben a more awesome way to go.

If you can't dislocate your own shoulder in order to reach an iPhone, then you don't deserve an iPhone.
Arielle
This comic is now being referenced in the Wikipedia page for PBR. Awesome.
AllHallowsSteve
"Do you remember the fun we had when you poisoned me?"
Great comic.
lily
What's next, death by ironic t-shirt? We've got falling on impractical art, impaled by disco lasers and now PBR. It's like a hipster hell house.

Well played.

Who can save them, now? Could it be… Victor?
"I am the Hipster Whisperer."
Tasha
