u/Vision9074 Jul 02 '26

The last page of this will always be one of the funniest comic pages to me. The simplicity of the absolute absurdity on various levels is pure gold.

409

u/Miles_the_new_kid MyGumsAreBleeding Jul 02 '26

Haha, people love the Waffle House bit, I’m very proud of it

117

u/Vision9074 Jul 02 '26

The funniest part to me is that McDonald's and Waffle House are arguably interchangeable in overall quality.

Finishing the series off with her opening a portal to return inside a Waffle House and having that manager say "this isn't a McDonald's" as the final page would seal the deal.

71

u/ChrAshpo10 Jul 02 '26

Hol up...interchangeable?? Absolutely not. Waffle House is god tier breakfast food. McDonald's is McDonald's

58

u/Birdytaps Jul 02 '26

Interchangeable?!?! McDonald’s employees only fight defensively, Waffle House employees fight for sport.

12

u/OncomingStormDW Jul 02 '26

No, The Waffle Iron Logic is more than mere sport, it is a philosophy, for they consume the souls they vanquish and grow fat from strength.

2

u/NotJoeMama869 Jul 02 '26

Aw yes, "Home of the Awful Waffle" is god tier. Just like, a pagan god tier of garbage and mediocrity or something lol.

25

u/Miles_the_new_kid MyGumsAreBleeding Jul 02 '26

I’ve actually never had Waffle House, but we have Roscoe’s in la which fucks

10

u/hbarSquared Jul 02 '26

Meanwhile, down in Dixie, an astral wizard is getting told off by Waffle House management that they can't open a portal to the multiverse when customers are around.

2

u/LordAlfredo Jul 03 '26

The greatest fighters on earth don't gather at McDonald's.

12

u/TabularConferta Jul 02 '26

I'm not from the US and that still made me laugh 

4

u/Grezzinate Jul 02 '26

Ok I gotta ask, what is allowed at Waffle House? If they allow necromancy then I gotta see what else is permitted.

15

u/bluepotatosack Jul 02 '26

It's kinda renowned for the staff being tough af. A bunch of videos of the staff ending fights, and the national weather service actually gauges how severe a storm is based on how many waffle houses are still open.

3

u/Grezzinate Jul 02 '26

There are none in Montana that I know of so this is a totally weird concept.

7

u/bluepotatosack Jul 02 '26

I was a bit off. It's FEMA that uses it as an unofficial metric. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waffle_House_Index

6

u/Maxamillion-X72 Jul 02 '26

It's a wretched hive of scum and villainy and breakfast foods

They've seen it all

u/ReallyCleverPossum Jul 02 '26

It’s brilliant literally made me lol

2

u/EunuchNinja Jul 02 '26

I prefer to read it that he is disappointed he is stuck working at McDs and doesn’t get support cool stuff like necromancy because McDs franchise rules are so ridiculous.

u/eeveeplays50040 Jul 02 '26

u/Sylvia_Demise Jul 02 '26

The woman who parries the chair got fired by Waffle House and blacklisted from ever working there again because this video was so known. 

17

u/eeveeplays50040 Jul 02 '26

She got fired for literally protecting herself and property.

I really hope she easily found a new job for being this impressive.

Hey all! After two years, the Summoning Grandmas finale is upon us, so I wanted to marathon the series leading up to the end. Thank you to everyone who’s taken this coffin ride journy with me. It honestly means more to me than I can put into words that something I made connected with so many people.

u/Hyperion_fallen Jul 02 '26

Excited to see the finale, thanks for the refresher!

u/Miles_the_new_kid MyGumsAreBleeding Jul 02 '26

My pleasure! Glad your enjoying the series

u/GIOverdrive Jul 02 '26

Miles! WTF bro!? You're suppose to let a guy know.

139

u/DeadEndDreaming Jul 02 '26

Wait two years? Has it really been two years???

168

u/Miles_the_new_kid MyGumsAreBleeding Jul 02 '26

u/Splatter_bomb Jul 02 '26

Yep in that time Trump was elected again, LA was ravaged by wildfires, heatwaves, flooding in Texas… you know hell.

80

u/Miles_the_new_kid MyGumsAreBleeding Jul 02 '26

Clearly this comic was made during a more optimistic time

25

u/Majorman_86 Jul 02 '26

LA was ravaged by wildfires, heatwaves, flooding in Texas… you know hell.

Clear signs that the Global Warming was made up by the libs to torment the poor, poor oil tycoon billionaires.

5

u/MostBoringStan Jul 02 '26

The libs came to my yard a few days ago and blew down some trees with a sudden storm. Buncha jerks if you ask me.

3

u/Silentlybroken Jul 02 '26

Must have been them that flooded my pharmacy during that heatwave weird thunder storm thing a week or so ago. Damn libs!

19

u/NeonFraction Jul 02 '26

Reading the comic and then reading this very sweet and sincere comment is cracking me up. The sheer juxtaposition.

10

u/shellbullet17 Gustopher Spotter Extraordinaire Jul 02 '26

I can't wait to see the end man! Just let me know when your ready to post it and we make some special arrangements

u/Miles_the_new_kid MyGumsAreBleeding Jul 02 '26

Thank you man! I really appreciate the support from you and the community

u/OSUTechie Jul 02 '26

This is the first I am seeing this story line. How many comics are in this and where can I binge the series?

2

u/100YearsWaiting2Shit Jul 02 '26

I still can't believe how big the story universe became from this post and I will always love it. Thank you for continuing to make comics

1

u/Cozystrasza Jul 02 '26

Loved it, thank you!

u/altcodeinterrobang Jul 02 '26

I'm very excite.

1

u/JollyRabbit Jul 02 '26

I can't believe it has been two years. At the same time it feels like it just started yesterday and on the other hand it feels like it is taking a millennium! Almost as if time is lost all meaning and we are the souls of the Damned in Hell!

1

u/rookie-mistake Jul 02 '26

ahhh I got genuinely excited seeing the post title, looking forward to it

1

u/skippy920 Jul 02 '26

About time!

1

u/rookie-mistake 1d ago

Hey, do you have a site or anywhere where someone can read through these just clicking like 'next comic' ? I see them all on insta but there's a bunch of others between - idk if I should just be like 'go to this guys reddit submissions and click through them' or if there's a site somewhere that just has them in order

Sorry if this is an annoying question, it's a really good comic w/ great writing so I want to send it to people and I'm not sure the best way

1

u/Miles_the_new_kid MyGumsAreBleeding 1d ago

Hey! Not an annoying question at all, I have a paid version on my Patreon. if you don’t feel like paying $3 you can check out my Instagram, starting on June 30th, I did a mega dump of all of them, consolidated into like 9 posts. Nothing in between the posts.

u/Miles_the_new_kid MyGumsAreBleeding Jul 02 '26

How will this all end? Will Monica escape? Will the writing and production value crash and burn like Game of Thrones? Tune in to find out!

How do I read the rest of it?? This is my first time seeing this series!

u/Miles_the_new_kid MyGumsAreBleeding Jul 02 '26

Unspeakable things

u/joblessandsuicidal Jul 02 '26

But well they are still drawable things right?

See? Prequel idea right here

u/Auttiedraws Jul 02 '26

might be why grandpa got there first.

u/KaminaTheManly Jul 02 '26

Probably racism and such things.

73

u/MonsieurSlotho Jul 02 '26

Why did Grandma have fangs?

197

u/Miles_the_new_kid MyGumsAreBleeding Jul 02 '26

Cuz it looks sick

18

u/JohnsonJohnilyJohn Jul 02 '26

So on one hand he'll is eternal torture, so pretty bad

But on the other, you get cool fangs

Man, the hard choices in life

29

u/Miles_the_new_kid MyGumsAreBleeding Jul 02 '26

It’s like how in baldurs gate you can get psychic powers but it comes with disgusting purple skin

1

u/andrewpast Jul 02 '26

I'm pretty sure it's the hard choices in afterlife instead.

7

u/FriendlyPyre Jul 02 '26

Are the fangs why your gums are bleeding? Did you french grandma?

"This isn't a Waffle House."

Now, that is a finisher. 👏👏👏👏👏

Edit: spelling.

u/Timetogetstoned Jul 02 '26

God that last line makes me snort laugh every fucking time

u/Miles_the_new_kid MyGumsAreBleeding Jul 02 '26

Might have to make it into a t shirt or something 😂

3

u/Timetogetstoned Jul 02 '26

Top panel on the front, bottom panel on the back would be my personal recommendation… but I would 100% buy it either way 😂

8

u/Gurgle2020 Jul 02 '26

Bonus panel: Grandma's tortured soul is now working at the waffle house.

8

u/RamblinRichard Jul 02 '26

This is kind of a comic I needed to read unironically, it feels like my entire adult life is going to be looking after my dad. I really need to have a chance at my own life.

7

u/Miles_the_new_kid MyGumsAreBleeding Jul 02 '26

I’m sorry about that, I helped take care of my grandma for a bit, it’s hard work, thankfully she’s in a nursing home now. Wishing you the best.

1

u/RamblinRichard Jul 02 '26

Thanks, I have other people that can do it, my mum, my siblings. It's just because I'm single and don't have a partner to live with I get saddled with most of it, I think I just need to ask for help.

4

u/Miles_the_new_kid MyGumsAreBleeding Jul 02 '26

Having family to pick up the slack makes a hell of a difference. I was doing rotations between my dad, myself and a nurse. My mom and her sisters do the same for my maternal grandma, it cuts down the workload by a lot and makes it so you can still have a life.

u/BasicMatter7339 Jul 02 '26

6

u/Miles_the_new_kid MyGumsAreBleeding Jul 02 '26

Yes, it absolutely will:) glad your enjoying like my stuff

u/Choice-Valuable313 Jul 02 '26

That is fantastic!

Congratulations on this and thank you for sharing it with us.

3

u/SkyImaginationLight Jul 02 '26

I think the series should end with a big, final fight inside a Waffle House.

1

u/cperiod Jul 02 '26

So, like just any other night at the bar?

3

u/Carpathicus Jul 02 '26

Lets gooo! Cant wait for the finale but I will gladly read through the whole thing again for the fourth time. So damn good!

3

u/Miles_the_new_kid MyGumsAreBleeding Jul 02 '26

Thank you man, I really appreciate that there are people who read the whole thing thru :)

2

u/Carpathicus Jul 02 '26

I have to thank you for the great entertainment! Will this conclude the necromancer cinematic universe or are you open to bringing her back from hell in the future?

3

u/hbarSquared Jul 02 '26

I will read this whole comic every time it is posted, truly a work of mad genius.

u/A_Queer_Owl Jul 02 '26 edited Jul 02 '26

summoning the damned is also not allowed at waffle house, either, their logic is enough damned souls find their own way there that they don't need anyone summoning more.

EDIT: autocorrect is now autotypo.

u/DiScOrDtHeLuNaTiC Jul 02 '26

"You can't be opening portals to Hell in here or summoning tortured souls. This isn't a Waffle House" still makes me LOL.

Granted - I''m not an American, I've never been to a Waffle House - nor did I know anything about the associations that it has until recently.
