Can't believe it's ending. Ironic, it was a Thanksgiving storytime of this series that got me to read it several years back.

Once upon a time,

Olive Chu admired Mason Savoy and Jonathan Colby.

She wanted to be just like her father's loose cannon, maverick foils on the FDA.

Way back when, Peter Pilaf was a bullied nerd who used his vaguely defined food-related superpowers to brainwash the girls (not Olive) at his school to have sex with him, influence his classmates to murder one another in the cafeteria, and attempt to blow up the entire establishment.

He was jailed for all that, but he was also falsely accused of murdering astronauts, which earned him a deliciously undeserved trip down into maximum security.

He was kind of sore about that.

Not because they share similar interests or temperaments. And it's not because Olive necessarily likes her.

But because, unlike everyone Olive has allowed herself to truly love in her life, Ginny doesn't die so easily.

So it goes.

Chow Chu is Tony's least favorite relative. He bullied Tony relentlessly when they were children until his little brother got too big and strong and violent to push around anymore.

Chow used to be a celebrity chew who believed that the supposed avian flu that killed millions of people was a sham.

He was right.

He thought that, by that logic, chicken was safe to cook and eat and serve.

He was terribly wrong.

When the chicken ban laws eased up, Chow went right back to cooking chicken in his restaurant. His customers ate all his wonderful dishes and enjoyed them.

This got a lot of people killed.

It was mostly Tony's fault (though no one would ever know), but it was Chow's fault too.

The Conspirators' actions were proper, but ill-timed.

Mason Savoy sought to bring them in, but by the time he busted the case, most of them had all ready perished and the only one left was the most innocent of the bunch.

He murdered him anyway.

What a bitter finale. Layman really didn't chicken out at the end.

Welp. Thanks for keeping it interesting, Chu. I wonder how Earth will fair in the chicken war.


Did they ever explain the origin of all these food-based powers? Did they all come from the chicken men somehow?

What a weird note to end a comedy series on.

What the fuck why end it like this

Not sure how I feel, not at all what I expected.

>>87889156
What did you expect?

>>87889136
Because people are always like "muh closure" and as soon as things end they're like "we need a sequel/reboot/remake".

Fuck people.

>>87888811
The colonel sends his regards. 11 herbs and spices bitch.

>>87889182
Didn't expect Tony starting shit with the chickens after what he had to do to save things.
I figured he would be bitter and angry about it all, probably secluded and just giving up on shit.
I had hoped for him finding some happiness though. Also expected a bit more closure than opening a whole new thing. I guess I would have preferred it to have ended on #59.

Hell of an ending, and it's a fitting one.

Too bad the aliens are going to go all Nebula-M on the earth now.

>>87889493
I think we can substitute some of what happened in those psychotropic visions for what will happen to the earth after this.

>>87888811
>Alien race forces you to genocide a large portion for humanity, causing you to lose your love, friend and happiness in exhange
>Murder them as soon as they set foot on the planet

>>87889887
Yeah but its only a good plan if you've gotten to the point where you can destroy their home world too.

>>87890651
That's why he ate a bit of himself at the start.

Tony knew it would be stupid, and would have been rational.
Forcing himself to relive the memories re-lit that drive.

Chicken alternatives, I think.

They tried to create chicken substitutes, so people would be ok with not eating them anymore.

>>87888995
It was a very dark story from very beginning. Humor was here only to make some balance

>>87892702
No, that was chogs. Tony found out gallsaberry came somewhere from space but i didn't understood how. And i didn't completely understood it's abilities

>>87887559
>This is where you say goodbye.

I love that line.

Reading this - do you remember the time when somebody was planning to shoot some funny TV cartoon series based on these comics?

>>87893929
I think that's still being made? Or at least some kind of animated feature (like a western OVA). With Glenn from TWD as Tony.

>>87892758
>Tony found out gallsaberry came somewhere from space but i didn't understood how. And i didn't completely understood it's abilities
I took the gallsaberry as exactly what the first guy said, a chicken substitute. The fact that its progenitors were also the ones who implanted the cibo powers is why gallsaberries enhanced them. That's my take, at least.

I gotta say, I have some very strong feelings for this ending, both good and bad.

Over for real now.

Well that was exactly what I expected Chew to end on: a little bit of comedy, tons of continuity easter eggs, a little bit of tragedy, and good old Chew weirdness. I definitely didn't expect the series to have neither an overly tragic nor an overly happy ending.

I'm really glad I read this comic. It was definitely worth it.

My only want now, is what the heck was Chow's pathetically stupid ability?
