At the time this was drawn my favorite webcomic ever made a magnificent little ode to the poor minions who get tossed away for the sake of the villain and get no second thoughts from the heroes, but minions can work both ways. Sure, Olimar orbits the Pikmin into space at night to keep them safe from dangerous nocturnal predators, but what’s the point of saving them only to throw them into the mouths of a hungry plant? Even Goombas and Octoroks get some props for their service well done, but no one cares about the Pikmin anymore.

I’d also like to point out that the site layout isn’t exactly the best for one panel comics, especially hand-drawn ones. I was hoping to wait until I had better tools and skills to try a big picture like this one, but the time was just so appropriate, I had to push up the upload date. Also, I never noticed how pointy Olimar’s fingers were in that spacesuit. Hmm…
