Mandy...HELPED her. Out of character much?

"Unknowingly helped her" is more like it. It's not certain if she knows what she became or exactly how she became what she is, after all.

I'm leaning more to "help her to piss off Him"

But she was clearly angry at her for desecrating her collection. "No, Charles. My wrath." leaves little to imagination about it.

Would painfully helping her satisfy Mandy?

Inflicting massive amounts of pain and helping her at the same time is still helping.

Depends on the definition of "help". Sure, she might have relieved her of the pain of her history, but she also took her powers and the closest things she has to hands in the deal. To slightly psychopathic Mandy that might be thought of as fitting punishment. On the other hand, Mandy has shown herself as aware enough of the nuances of the human condition to make that point moot, but who knows.

EDIT: Also, it's not at all impossible that Mandy only took her powers and left what it took to get them intact, leaving her with the worst of both worlds.

Yeah I agree, any helping was incidental. For that matter, given Mandy's rather twisted take on reality she might consider removing Mimi's demonic side a punishment.

Finally archive binged everything, but I'm a little confused. Without looking at spoilers, our page implies this is a completed comic with a couple spinoffs. Was there a reboot or something?

We are currently in the "What About Mimi?" Arc, which technically is a sequel to the Grim Tales From Down Below proper.

BTW, does anyone know if there's a way to download all of the Afterbirth sequel in one go, rather than downloading it one image at a time?

Mandy gets her Joan Crawford on. What am wondering is Jr. deliberately not fighting her or is she just that badass? And what is Minimandy going to do about this?

... Maybe. Then again, wouldn't this very defiant streak what she had been aiming for through her brand of parenting?

Not unreasonable. She is a genius and bore a child for one.

This does not look like a Grim Tales strip. None of the characters involved are even remotely related to the Grim Tales series AFAIK.

[up] Definitely April Fool's. Of course, I realized that after I spent ten minutes plugging it into google translate...

Anyway, here it is.

Thank you, Pinocchio! You really have a big heart! I know one day all your kindness will be rewarded. I am sure that Mr Cricket would be very proud of you. Take care, Pinocchio! We'll be watching.

Goodbye.

I'm not afraid of you, toadies.

Because you have big teeth?

It is better to smile at, Little Red Riding Hood!

Please do not eat me, Mr. Wolf!

I do not want to eat you! I just wanna be your friend! The nearest and best friend! Really? Well let's be friends!

Dr. Crook Crosas no more important than ...

No.

But that has eaten my grandmother, Mr. Wolf?

Because it was a useless, annoying old hag! Do you want the vomit? I think that is still breathing.
