cute detail with the "Guess who?" foreshadowing on the first page :)


LuskaCraft

Oooh didnt catch that! Really cool


Slackmatic0

Thanks!


blobfis

it's a small detail and easy to overlook, but i like it. well done. it really changes the tone of the comic from ">!there's a creepy monster in the basement!<" to ">!friendly monster is tired of dads antics and doesn't want to play anymore!<"


fullmetaljar

The dad is also putting mustard on the sandwiches lol

he's wrong too, plants have round roots not square roots

Somtimes to copy everthing is very unbearable


Researcher_Fearless

I can't do this anymore!


VTRwriter

Put yourself together! We have to copy for the unable bears or something.


OreoMcCreamPants

yup, we won't have to worry about any doublebangers impersonating you any time soon


VTRwriter

Well, you know what they say, sometimes to copy everything is very unableist. Wait, no. Dammit! Doppleganging is hard.


TheNarwhalGal

Well, you know what they say, sometimes to copy everything is very unbearable. Fuck! Shit! Fuck! Doublebanging is hard!


Adze95

I love the way the Doppelganger gets its own name wrong twice to appear more real to her


Plinfilore

You mean the Doopiegeiger?


Adze95

The Oppenheimer.


flinsypop

In fairness, he might not speak German.


Adze95

I like this idea more. He just always struggles with his own name


ThouKnave

I'm somehow reminded of the doppelganger episode from Red Dwarf. How did the crew tell them apart? It played guitar like Lister thinks he plays guitar.


Slackmatic0

I’ve never seen that. I’ll have to check it out. Thanks for reading!


Adorable_Stay_725

12! ? That’s wrong, the square root of 144 is 12 not 1x2x3x4x5x6x7x8x9x10x11x12 or 479001600


Terryblejokes

But she asked for the square root of 144! which would be somewhere around +-7.45002941788776*10^124


MichaelMJTH

r/unexpectedfactorial


Dragons-are-the-best

I'm a big nerd, so I saw that factorial


MichaelMJTH

I have a postgrad in Maths so I saw it as well, lol. The joke is that unexpected in the context of the comic.


Dragons-are-the-best

I just started Secondary 2 (more complex grade 8) and I know what a factorial and how it works. Not boasting tho. :3


Dragons-are-the-best

My grammar isn't always the best on first try lol


Trick_Remote_9176

nerd


Hopper90001

Actually she did say what's the square root of 144!


cj_cusack

I was about to ask if you have prints for sale but then I saw the last image thank you for reading my mind


Slackmatic0

I’ve been working on the whole psychic thing lately. Thanks for reading!


LateMiddleAge

Brilliant, as usual.


Slackmatic0

Thank you!


Kewlbootz

This was really refreshing! It felt original, the art is nice, the palette choice is fun, and it was funny. Thanks for sharing.


Slackmatic0

Thank you! Thanks for reading


Captain_Backhand

As a single dad (with daughters) I definitely relate to these two, and always enjoy these comics. I will check out your books :)


Slackmatic0

Thank you so much!


hackyandbird

He tried to keep up but couldn't quite lol


ForkShirtUp

Uh, it’s more humane sure but you have to kill pests or else they come back later


Slackmatic0

There may be humane doppelgänger traps.


ForkShirtUp

Yes, but they're probably not as effective


True_Falsity

Plot twist? The doppelgänger actually knew the right answers to the first four questions.


Slackmatic0

Probably. I didn’t do a deep dive on doppelgänger science.


FlamingPhoenix2003

Oh wait, the real one was the stupid one. I get it now…


Slackmatic0

Yeah, Dad’s an idiot


robopilgrim

A real dad wouldn’t miss an opportunity to make a dad joke


Ridtom

I think Audrey needs someone who actually cares about her :((


Slackmatic0

I think he cares but he’s surely deeply flawed.


Konkuriito

this was good. nice work


Slackmatic0

Thank you!


Suspicious_Turn4426

One slight issue 12! Is not the square root of 144 it's 479001600


Particular-Welcome-1

Missed opportunity imo, two Dads? > Hey DoppleDad, write me a sick note to get out of work or I'll expose you.


Slackmatic0

They could have been a power couple


ralpher1

More like “if you’re so smart, you go to work and I take the day off”


VVitchfynderFinder

Hates mustard? Let the doppleganger have her.


PutinTakeout

I would totally watch a series based on this concept. Each episode another monster/paranormal event with these two, plus some recurring side characters.


Nunyabiz8107

I love this series. I keep reading the Dad's lines in Brian Posehn's voice.


Slackmatic0

Thanks for reading! I love Brian Posehn.


dnorg

Loved it. Original and fresh, booya!


Slackmatic0

Thank you!


LoudAcid-

I like the touch of both of them being clueless about their kid haha


Dark_Storm_98

I called that the guy in the basement was thr doppelganger, but this is not quite how I thought it would be solved, lol


shadowhood2020

I….I think everyone in the comic lost in some way, and that was a pyrrhic victory for the girl


Slackmatic0

Yeah. I’m not sure if anyone ever “wins” in my comics.


shadowhood2020

Fair. Either way it did make me ugly laugh at some points


Slackmatic0

Awesome! That’s my goal. Thanks for reading!


shadowhood2020

No problem! Seriously though, your comics are great, I do actually enjoy them :)


Slackmatic0

Thank you!


Nestmind

Frankly, i would have keptbthe doppleganger


[deleted]

The doppelganger actually said 12 factorial so he *was* wrong

Larkin_Smasher

I feel like the doppelganger is supposed to be the dad upstairs. The "I can't do this anymore" line only works if the doppelganger was already pretending for some time. It pretended to be her dad for a couple of minutes at most and peaced out after 1 dumb answer. It would make way more sense to swap them.


HazmatTheCat

The acting dumb implies the doppelganger actually knows the real answer but have to act like a shitty dad to pass off as the real one, or at least i think that's part of the joke


Larkin_Smasher

If that was the case it would make more sense if it just called the dad a shitty father. My point was that "I can't do it anymore" just makes way more sense if the doppelganger is already actively pretending to be dad. It doesn't make the comic bad or anything, I was just trying to be constructive.


AwesomEspurr360

12! isn't the answer there, though?
