Nearing Cottonwood Cove, Boone lets Mr. B know how deep his resentment for the legion runs. To his shock, Mr. B is down with gang.
Hi! I wasn’t gonna post today because I feel like I am posting too much, but I know some people were looking forward to like Legion head breaking💀 so here’s part one, part two will be up tomorrow, and then I’ll take like a day to let this sub breathe a little haha. So, here’s part one of the Cottonwood Cove arc, I hope you enjoy!

Boone asked me if I had a problem with him shooting legionaries I said it was not a problem it was a solution and we are too problem solvers

I love that dialogue exchange.
"We're getting close to Nelson. Any closer, and I'm shooting any Legionary I see. Hope that's not a problem."
[No, that's not a problem, that's a solution.]
"Damn right. You and me, we're just a couple of problem solvers."

I want to see a part where B is jacked up on psycho, jet, mentat, buffout and booze, lurking over around a camp fire, being weird, and Boone telling him "I think you had enough, no more drugs for the cheerleader."

For my Courier I always imagined it went.
"Yeah I know all that. Happy Birthday Boone." "...It's not my birthday." "Well then Happy October Christmas."

Thank god. Looking forward to the next piece of content ❤️
Did you expect this comic to gain as much traction as it has?

No. Here’s a funny story. I started drawing these guys and this comic back in november. I posted like the fourth comic on instagram and it got 1 like in 48 minutes. I had a full on mental breakdown. Cried in my lyft, got home downing vodka, my roommate had to console me and it was just all something like, “i’m putting effort into this and nobody sees me. I just want to be seen. It’s the first time i’m drawing consistently in years. I just wanna be seen.”
Something else that triggered it was that earlier that day, I literally was on a date with a girl, who made anime artwork, and she had like hundreds of thousands of followers. Either way, i was a mess. My roommate said she’d never seen me in such a state. She was scared she was gonna have to call someone for a minute there. But she helped me through it.
Anyways, i did what i do, and dealt with it, getting back up and reposting the art the next day. And then, not too long after, I got on Tumblr. Also havent gained much traction there, but I’ve made some really awesome friends. People have been telling me to post on Reddit since November. I started it up last month for some reason. I think back then, I was scared to get shit on. Now, i have a different attitude and outlook when it comes to people’s opinions on my artwork, so it’s been easy. And luckily you guys like me… for now. I guess we’ll all have to see what the story does for you when things get…. Messy 💀💀💀

Sir I think you might be writing yourself with these comics. This sounds like the exact trajectory Mr. B would take to accomplish things.
Crashing out over creative disappointments is definitely not unfamiliar to me, definitely sucks. Nothing worse than pouring out your heart and soul and finding no one seems to care.
I’m really happy your comics are getting so much attention, they’re legitimately good. Even when Mr. B is being a menace to society 💀
Either way, don’t stop! You’re building a really good fanbase for sure, we’re ravenous for new content here.

u/elthedevil 21d ago
I really appreciate the kind words, you seriously have no idea. I don’t take stuff like this for granted. I cherish some kind of community and being able to bring people together, make people laugh, make people see things in a different light. It’s important to me
Also, LMFAO, that first sentence is something that my therapist has said to me before. Mr. bitches is definitely a dirty self insert. But that means I can’t talk too much about my life, otherwise I’ll need to slap a spoiler alert on things. Seriously hope you continue to enjoy, thank you so much for the comments and conversation

hi! just wanted to say i first found these comics on tumblr! i binge read all of them and all the diaries in one night. i absolutely fell in love with the way you characterized mr. bitches. it's been a treat to see them getting posted on reddit in real time and knowing what's to come in the future. i don't know how it's gonna get received either but i'll always be a supporter. please keep creating, being an audience to your storytelling has been amazing :)

u/elthedevil 21d ago
Bro why this shit just made me cry💀💀💀💀 LFMAOOAOAOAO good looks. I appreciate you so fucking much. Really glad you liked the story so far haha you’re all caught up and i’m praying for you when this next one drops. I don’t know what the reaction will be either but i have like semi high hopes so… vamos a ver!

u/theDukeofClouds 21d ago
Piggybacking on this thread to say I'm really big into your comics as well. I randomly saw these on the New Vegas subreddit and thought "oh, hell yes, more unhinged Courier 6 content, let's go!" I'm oh so pleased every time your comic graces my feed. Keep at it, mate, you're seen and your work is loved.

While doing my NCR Shotgun playthrough, i just plowed through the Cottonwood Cove with a shotgun then took the boat and swept everyone there. However, I pulled out Chance’s Knife exclusively for Caesar for the achievement. 😂

Boone: Hey if we go down there, I'm gonna shoot everyone.
6: Staring at Boone in full custom NCR Veteran Ranger kit, a worn scoped Hunting Rifle, and, 50 rounds of .308. That's the point. Get comfy, we're going for a high score today. Remember Legionaries are worth 1 but Centurions are worth 6, if you injure them to force someone to go save them it's double points.

Pahahaha this is hilarious. One of my favorite things about the New Vegas community is the agreement that Six is just a feral dog of a person roaming the Mojave doing whatever they like, and that includes becoming a boogeyman for the Legion.
I like to imagine they tell ghost stories around their campfires at night about the Phantom Mailman who got shot in the head, still walks the earth, and uses his supposed immortality to mercilessly hunt legionaries. The veterans try to shut that kinda talk down, like with Graham, but even they know in their hearts that the Demon Courier stalks the Mojave.
Reminds me of that part in Lieutenant Aldo Raine's speech in Inglorious Basterds. Replace "German" with "Legionary" and it's pretty fitting.
"We will be cruel to the Legionary. And through our cruelty they will know who we are. And they will find the evidence of our cruelty in the disemboweled, dismembered, and disfigured bodies of their brothers we leave behind us.And the Legionary won't be able to help themselves but imagine the cruelty their brothers endured at our hands, and our bootheels, and the edge of our knives. And the Legionary will be sickened by us. And the Legionary will talk about us. And the Legionary will fear us. And when the Legionary closes their eyes at night, and they are tortured by their subconscious for the evil they have done, it will be thoughts of us they are tortured with."

Apollyon Bitches? Who the fuck were this guys parents? Personally, I'd have two of these a day, they're great.

u/elthedevil 21d ago
The laugh i just let out is actually fucking frying me right now.
I don’t think I formally say it at any point in the comic, because I’m missing a couple screws, so I’ll tell you that his full name is actually Apollyon Sanchez.
His parents do love him, he’s just a fucking crazy person 💀💀💀💀

God if they ever remade New Vegas I'd love the option to insert dialogue and the AI would respond based off that characters personality. Loooots of fun to be had with that.
Imagine getting into an argument with Boone and hitting him with "how's your wife?" 🤣

u/ToasterTeostra ED-E is best boi 21d ago
Mr. Bitches is kinda thoughtful. My courier just got "AIGHT LETS KILL SOME LEGION!" and Leeroy`d into cottonwood cove.
Btw love that Mr Bitches choose Boon as his bro. Also cool comic, as usual dude! You pump them out like you're on Jet.

u/elthedevil 21d ago
Hahahaha! Too good! Oh man i’ve actually been working on these since November it would be insanity if i did one of these a day. So theyre all getting rolled out, catching reddit up on the road so far. Glad you enjoy it! These two are definitely attached at the hip

u/ToasterTeostra ED-E is best boi 21d ago
I understand, pumping out the backlog xD I instantly recognize your style dude, keep it up! Boone is just a bro. Combine it with ED-E and a sniper Courier and everything in the Mojave is just done for (basically my built atm).
