239 – Sportsmanship
I’ve been wanting to make this comic for a long time…
Board games are a very social experience that have the power to reveal weird things about us. Seems like Chloe isn’t nice all the time after all!
I couldn’t help but add a bonus fifth panel on this thing, just to echo what Chloe told Clementine last time.
No, Catan isn’t my favorite game, but I think it’s getting mainstream enough for people to understand this comic. And I refuse to make references to terrible games like Monopoly even if they’re way more well-known. :P

I love how impassive Frederick is on panel 4. His expression, or rather lack of one, speaks volumes.
Oooh, he’s seen this before.
I can relate to that :D
being nice is putting your anger into a box, once it’s full it will explode.
(╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻
This totally happened before.

The salt is strong with this one… If she could be turned, she would make a powerful ally.

I heard a piece on the radio recently about Catan, and it’s worldwide popularity.
Crazy thing in it was that Sony bought the rights to make a movie adaptation… ???
I’ve heard. And i weep inside.
That’s not crazy, that’s Bleargh-inducing. =_=
Always remember, if you’re playing with Chloe you should bolt your game table down.
The impact alone might disrupt the game even if the table itself isn’t flipped away.
Well, no one can be nice all the time. Too many people will take advantage of that. Just sorry Clem had to be in the line of fire. Hope she doesn’t get the wrong impression.
Oh my…did Marie get injured in all this? Oh Cloe, I have a feeling Marie’s going to remember this. (get ready to get guilt tripped)
Or…is that a new bandage on her face?
The light’s fixture on panel 4 almost gives Frederick a fez XD
I meant panel 5 ^_^ whoopsies.
That would be quite a large, and totally off-center fez… unless Fred has a crazy deformed head.
My usual “off-centered” reality must have gotten the best of me…
If this why Marie-Neige always has bandages on her arm…? ;)
I kid, I kid! ^^;
She’s getting beaten up by Chloe all the time.
Weeeell… ^^; There have been occasions when it wouldn’t have surprised me if Marie-Neige were to receive a beating.
You know, if this were a standard Japanese manga. ;)
Which I am very happy Frivolesque is not.
Is nobody going to mention how Marie-Neige and Clementine are leaving together?
Username checks out
They’re not leaving. They’re just going into the living room, away from the table. The exit is the other way. :)
At least Clementine was fortunate enough to sit on the safe side of the table. Unlike Marie-Neige how got the table flipped onto her.
I’m impressed that Frederics reflexes got him out the way quickly enough.
Now, I wonder how Chloe is with online games. Is she one of those gamers that are constantly raging at people?
