The original page of this comic is for sale! SOLD!
This concludes the buddies arc! There'll be a couple of one-shots next.
I did a little post on the Pizza Island blog about a mini-tour of my workspace! Check it out here. There are also desk tours by my other studiomates, updating daily 'til we've all done them!

@dottianne
So, do you flush them down the toilet or bury them in the backyard?
@snackstar
BUDDIES! NOOOOO!
@DISHLIQUID
Can't. Stop. Laughing.

This!
Rustin H. Wright
Well, obviously the buddy bones get ground up to make snacks for the next round of buddies. That's how we always do it here. I mean, um…
Professional Mole
Sooner than you know, you'll be having the Mad Buddy Disease, bro! D:
marco marco!
Some how, I'm not surprise by this turn out.
Charlie
By the way, did you see the shout out in Monday's "Girl Genius"?
Weldon
Wow that is a cute shout out! I went back and found it as soon as I saw it 🙂 Thanks for the tip, how did you put it together?
Bruce the Great
Ha I did not notice that! Love Girl Genius. And teehee at the buddies. They sure we're dumb.
Camool
How the fuck did I not notice that? D=
Bridget
I totally did not see that coming. Oh geez, poor Larry.
Karinpa
OMG! there are just like my undergraduate students… they need me for everything.
On the other hand… looks like we need new buddies
def.cise
Are you serious! I am beyond stunned as to what just happened… the bros… DIED!!!!!! lol too freaking funny.
notmarkflynn
My basement is exactly like that. I mean, the part where it's full of skeletons, not where it's a social scene.
@franktinsley
This is the first octopus pie storyline I COMPLETELY RELATE WITH
Professional Mole
…I don't want to be your buddy, ever. 😐
Booga
This conclusion is A-FLIPPING-MAZING!
Andrew
Good. Those buddies were dumb. Get better buddies next time, Larry. Go to a reputable buddy store.
Lord_Mordja
Oh yeah, a lot of stores buy from buddy mills, it's really horrible. You should really get rescue buddies instead.

Get a rescue buddy from the buddy pound. Those buddies have CHARACTER.
@aawilliams
Nice skeletons.
@pixelcurious
Haha! I didn't expect that twist
Raidus
I'm really getting into this new art. Not just the lettering and inking either. Maybe I just haven't been paying enough attention, but the angles in each panel are 5 stars epic. The stairwell, the skeletons, and the last panel really grab my attention. I also like how the intensity of a bunch of dead guys is acceptable with Will playing the bad roommate. Wow Will, way to be a douche.
@deimhin
Fantastic.
Also, Will is way more attractive than any cartoon character has the right to be.
Pixmintro
And now there's Bodies in the basement, bum dum tish!
Lord_Mordja
Oh yeah, man, this sort of thing happens with my buddies all the time. They're pretty dumb. They decompose really quickly though, so you don't have a big mess to clean up.
wykstrad
Hopefully Will and Larry have that basement buddy-proofed. You don't want a buddy getting out into the world only to be hit by a car or eaten by a dog.
Scumbi
I haven't gotten a laugh like this out of octopus pie in a while. I loved this. xD
Frelance
TOTALLY knew these guys 10 years ago in college. Townhouse of four dudes with, at times, six or seven (eight? does one dude's little brother on a week long but finite visit count?) de facto residents, plus a girlfriend for one of the actual paying roommates. I didn't keep track, I think they actually slept in shifts on the couch.
Alain
It could have been worse. A buddy female could have gotten in there and pretty soon the basement would have been overflowing with buddies.
AlmostLiterally
What is it, buddy? Are you trying to tell us something?
"Bro there's totally a chick in that well, lawl."
Shipwreck Will
Really liked reading about your gross ink dish that never gets washed. I have a gross ink shot glass that never gets washed.
MacSimon
Oh god that pun, hahaha.
Oh, i wanted to ask – I'm from Argentina, but this week my mom's on Dayton, Ohio, she will try to find "There are no stars in Brooklyn" in libraries. I think Random House has your book, right?
granulac
you should be able to find it at book stores that sell graphic novels. Barnes and Noble usually has it in stock!
MacSimon
Awesome! I'll text her then, it's the only thing i'm getting for the states : P
CLR
Guh, Will's T-shirt O_o
Don't mind me, I'm in a creepy mood.
valis_kr3
Way to go Meredith it's not often that I read a comic that makes me laugh so hard that I interrupt a class I'm not apart of.
Sebastian
Woot! Pigma Microns ftw!
And very funny. Gee, is that cannon?
Eria
Haha, is Will eating Doritos in panel 5? That was for the buddies, bro!
Aves Project Ideas
I can't remember the last time I've laughed so hard at skeletal remains.
RandomWebcomicsJunki
We used to have some CRAZY labor day parties, back in the day…
Rain
I am SO GLAD that Octopus Pie has entered the esteemed world of hand-lettering! The lack of consistency with great comic art and robot-stiff computer fonts is a tragedy of the modern age.
This comic continues to climb ever higher on the ladder of good taste!
Leith
Oh well at least Larry never got too attached to them… didn’t even give them individual names!
Next time maybe he’ll get one of those timed food dispensers rather than trust Buddies’ well-being to an abstract force of judgment and justice (Will!).
Arkadi
WHAT. THE. FUCK! XDXDXDDDDDD
That was GREAT!! And man, it brought back such memories ^^ Loved the running down the stairs panel. And Larry's face when he opens the basement door is priceless!
@arthurjplant
Remember folks, buddies are for life not just for your Jackie Chan movie-marathon.
@T9SayWha
rofl! Buddies! Noooooo! lol
Omer
Histerical.
Michael
I had a dream involving baristas last night. I blame you.
hel
THE BUDDIES ARE DEAD
I think this is the page I've laughed more at in the whole comic.
Mental Mouse
The hamster-owner’s nightmare…
Alternatively, looks like these buddies were literally “too dumb to live”!
Mayday
lol bro this like that Chuck Palahgjkjjhg book
Fight Club?
lol ya
Chad
you have made me want a Cintiq even more than I already do…. Sniffles.
Bowee the Cat
A plot twist! And you all thought Larry was the one who would die. Ah well.
@tehjennycreed
They are skeletons already wow buddies starve fast.
Shras
Ha! Well, I guess it really did turn into a basement full of bodies! Well, bones, but still. They must be quick decomposing buddies, get them at a store near you!
KitKats
I love the universe of Octopus Pie, where the solution to involuntary manslaughter is burying the corpse like flushing away fish.
