They couldn't have done much worse as a character study than with this comic. Dr U literally goes from "you must die for science!" to "to survive you must steal a mcguffin for us" to "ok, you can use our mcguffin in exchange for a favor-to-be-named-later" from page to page. Does he have MPD or is he just a shitty bargainer? I don't think it was necessary to turn Greta into a fawning nurse to make any sort of point either.

At some point, I hope they get back to the parody humor that they used to do well.
