|[''Scene changes to outside of the TFC base. Medic and Demoman are sitting in front of the rubble of a [[Tank Robot]]. Medic is stitching up Demoman's leg, while Demoman drinks from what seems to be a bottle of [[Bottle|scrumpy]].'']
 +
 +
'''Demoman''': So after ye ''shot'' Sniper...
 +
 +
'''Medic''' (working): Technically I was only ''present''.
 +
 +
'''Demoman''': ...ye brought him back from the dead.
 +
 +
'''Medic''': Ingeniously so, yes.
 +
 +
'''Demoman''': Ach, well... tha's all right then.
 +
 +
'''Medic''' (gets up slightly): Could I trouble you with the hydrogen peroxide?
 +
 +
[''Demoman hands him the bottle he was drinking from; he was drinking hydrogen peroxide the entire time'']
 +
 +
'''Demoman''' Aye, here ya go.
 +
 +
'''Medic''': ''Danke''. This won't take a moment.
 +
 +
[''Zoom in on Demoman'']
 +
 +
'''Demoman''': Y'know, Doc, I always ''wondered''... ye can bring a man back t'life... why can't ye grow me another eye?
 +
 +
[''Medic hands Demoman the bottle of hydrogen peroxide, smiles, and prepares another string for stitching'']
 +
 +
'''Medic''': Oh, of course I can. The procedure is quite simple, really.
 +
 +
[''Medic starts to hum as he begins stitching up Demoman's leg again. Demoman takes a swig from the {{botignore|bottle}}, and takes some time to process what he just heard'']
 +
 +
'''Demoman''' (After a moment of thought): ''What.''
 +
 +
[''Demoman gets up, raising his voice to the Medic in slight anger'']
 +
 +
'''Demoman''': Ye mean ta tell me, ''all these years''... '''Ye could have put me eye back in any time ye bloodly liked'''?
 +
 +
'''Medic''' (flabbergasted): ''Could'' have?
 +
 +
[''Medic points a finger at Demoman, lecturing him'']
 +
 +
'''Medic''': My friend, I've given you your eye back at least eight times. And ''every'' time it functions normally until [[Halloween]] night. At which point it grows batwings and attacks us. We've fought a [[MONOCULUS|''giant'' your eye]], a ''brain-in-a-jar'' your eye, a ''knife-wielding ventriloquist dummy'' your eye. One year it traveled back in time and tried to be our parents.
 +
 +
[''Zooms in to Medic, who gives a grim expression and points at Demoman'']
 +
 +
'''Medic''': The point is: in my medical opinion... and as a man of science I do noy say this lightly... That eye socket is ''haunted''.
 +
 +
[''Medic turns around to pack up his supplies. Demoman looks at him suspiciously'']
 +
 +
'''Demoman''': Wait, why don't I ''remember'' any o' this?
 +
 +
'''Medic''': Oh, that. I scooped that part of your brain out so you'd stop asking me.
 +
 +
[''Demoman points a finger forward with a dumbfounded look for a moment, but then washes his questions away with a swig from his hydrogen peroxide {{botignore|bottle}}'']
 +
 +
'''Demoman''': ...Aye, fair enough.
 +
 +
[''Demoman stands up suddenly'']
 +
 +
'''Demoman''': Hold on. I ''did'' just ask you.
 +
 +
'''Medic''' (Shrugging): *Sigh* I know. Sadly, brain-scooping is not an exact science.
 +
 +
[''Medic puts a hand on Demoman's back'']
 +
 +
'''Medic''': My advice would be to try not to remember things.
 +
 +
[''Demoman puts a finger to his head, focusing'']
 +
 +
'''Demoman''': Don't remember things. Got-
 +
 +
[''Demoman suddenly gets a nosebleed and leans back, seemingly stunned as Medic watches. He suddenly runs off happily, apparently forgetting everything that had happened, even the Medic's name itself. Medic waves a hand in the air and smiles.'']
 +
 +
'''Medic''': That's the spirit! Also, your leg is fixed. I even gave it its own little brain! So get out there and let's see what that does.
 +
 +
'''Demoman''' (Smiling but oblivious): You've ''got'' it, kindly stranger!
 +
 +
[''With Demoman gone, Medic gets on his knees and packs up his supplies in a [[Health|large health pack]], whistling. Suddenly, two pair of feet appear behind him.'']
 +
 +
'''Voice''': '''''Frankenstein'''''.
 +
 +
[''Medic turns around as the the large frame of the TFC Heavy approaches from behind him, Gray Mann's Life-Extender machine in his hand'']
 +
 +
'''TFC Heavy''': Here's what's gonna happen. We're going back to your lab. And we're gonna figure out how to stitch this thing into me.
 +
 +
[''Medic brings a hand down near his health pack, careful not to make sudden movements'']
 +
 +
'''Medic''': Of course. Let's get you on an operating table and-
 +
 +
'''TFC Heavy''': -And you'll put me under and you'll kill me. I ain't stupid. No, you're gonna tell ''my'' guy how to do it.
 +
 +
'''Medic''' (keeping his eyes on TFC Heavy): Please. ''I am a Doctor''. You will not die on my table.
 +
 +
[''The comic panel reveals what Medic was reaching for: his [[Ubersaw]].'']
 +
 +
'''Medic''': I'll just kill you here.
 +
 +
[''Medic gets up and uses his Ubersaw to slash at the TFC Heavy's face. TFC Heavy stumbles and clutches his face, bleeding from a deep gash. It has started to rain.'']
 +
 +
'''TFC Heavy''': '''AGH!''' What...
 +
 +
[''TFC Heavy looks defeated, but suddenly glares at Medic, blood pouring from his wound'']
 +
 +
'''TFC Heavy''': ''What'' the ''HELL'' did you just do.
 +
 +
[''Before TFC Heavy can react, Medic stabs him in the left side of his stomach, leaving his Ubersaw deeply embedded in his chest. He bravely keeps his gaze on the surprised TFC Heavy.'']
 +
 +
'''Medic''': Here. Let me show you.
 +
 +
[''TFC Heavy falls onto the muddy floor; Medic adjusts his glasses, seemingly winning the fight. To his surprise and horror, TFC Heavy grabs onto the Ubersaw and pulls it out of his stomach while standing up.'']
 +
 +
'''Medic''': Dear god...
 +
 +
[''TFC Heavy throws the bloodied Ubersaw on the ground, and menacingly walks towards Medic with a air of rage. The rain bounces off his shoulders.'']
 +
 +
'''TFC Heavy''': You've been a coward since the day I hired you. I gotta say... I did '''NOT''' see that comin'. But now? Now you got my full attention.
 +
 +
[''TFC Heavy dashes forward and clotheslines Medic with a flexed arm, knocking his glasses off and forcing him straight onto the muddy ground.'']
 +
 +
'''TFC Heavy''': '''''RRRRAGGH!'''''
 +
 +
[''TFC Heavy sits on Medic and pins him to the ground, one arm pressed hard against his face. Medic begins to beg for his life while TFC Heavy keeps a crazed smile on his face.'']
 +
 +
'''Medic''': ''Wait, WAIT! THE MACHINE!'' You still ''NEED ME! I'm'' the only one-
 +
 +
'''TFC Heavy''': Nah. You were just the closest. The old woman. ''She knows''. And now I know where she is. Hirin' you was the biggest mistake I ever made, Doc. You been sewin' god-knows-what into us for ''MONTHS''... '''Now it's my turn'''. How about I start by sawing your '''@#$%ing arms''' off?
 +
 +
[''Zoom in onto TFC Heavy's bleeding face, spitting blood from his wound as he talks'']
 +
 +
'''TFC Heavy''': And sewing 'em up your-
 +
 +
[''He is interrupted by a Minigun barrel nudging his face - Heavy stands behind him, revved-up Minigun ready to fire'']
 +
 +
'''Heavy''': Do not hit Doctor.
 +
 +
[''TFC Heavy looks back, barely turning his head'']
 +
 +
'''TFC Heavy''': Ah, the ''big'' guy. ''Finally''. Heard a lot about you, big man.
 +
 +
[''TFC Heavy turns around and shrugs with a goofy smile'']
 +
 +
'''TFC Heavy''': I ain't gonna lie. I've been lookin' ''forward'' to this.
 +
 +
[''TFC Heavy closes his eyes and covers his head, apparently surrendering'']
 +
 +
'''TFC Heavy''': Y'got me dead to rights here. Go on then. Do it.
 +
 +
[''Heavy responds by dropping his still-spinning Minigun, standing akimbo with his preferred weapons: his [[Fists]].'']
 +
 +
'''Heavy''': You want a good death? I can give this to you.
 +
 +
[''While Heavy talks, TFC Heavy pulls out a {{botignore|pistol}} from his clothes and stands up'']
 +
 +
'''Medic''' (Still on the foor): ...He has a gun...
 +
 +
'''Heavy''': Coward. I should have known you would not want fair fight.
 +
 +
'''TFC Heavy''': See, here's the thing...
 +
 +
[''TFC Heavy grins and, without looking away from Heavy, fires two fatal shots into Medic's chest'']
 +
 +
'''TFC Heavy''': That's ''EXACTLY what I want.
 +
 +
[''Heavy stares at his dying Doctor with a blank expression'']
 +
 +
'''Heavy''': You... you killed Doctor.
 +
 +
[''TFC Heavy flings his empty firearm away, fist clenched'']
 +
 +
'''TFC Heavy''': Yeah, you caught that, huh? Two on one. That sound ''fair'' to you? You want a fair fight, big man? Now you got one.
 +
 +
[''The words seem to fall on Heavy's empty ears - his expression turns angier with each word he utters'']
 +
 +
'''Heavy''': You... ''KILLED...''
 +
 +
[''Heavy delivers a full hook onto the TFC Heavy, completely enraged'']
 +
 +
'''Heavy''': '''''... DOCTOR!'''''

The Naked and the Dead (also known as Team Fortress Comics #6) is a comic released on January 10th, 2017. It is the penultimate issue of a seven-part comic series, picking up where Old Wounds left off.

Synopsis

Transcript

Due to the length of this comic, a transcript is necessary. The transcript has been sectioned into smaller story events for convenience.

Pages

Trivia

  • Parts of several classes' names are mentioned for the first time.
    • The Spy calls the Scout "Jeremy" while he is disguised as Tom Jones.
    • The "Devil" addresses the Medic as Mr. Ludwig, a common German name.
  • Despite the TFC Sniper claiming that his eyes can see through everything (even his own eyelids), he was unable to see the Sniper hiding outside the room, and did not notice him running away and attempting to find another way into his room after the Spy's ambush failed.
  • On Page 80, the Sniper is seen picking up his default Sniper Rifle from where the TFC Sniper was previously sitting, despite the TFC Sniper using a different Sniper Rifle (a jet-black one with a blue lens).
  • The Demoman is seen drinking from a bottle of hydrogen peroxide on Page 88. However, hydrogen peroxide is only safe to consume if highly diluted with water (3% per bottle) and in small amounts, as it can induce vomiting and foaming in the stomach.
  • On Page 155, the Spy mentions that his jacket is made by a brand named Louis Crabbemarché. Loosely translated, "Crabbemarché" is French for "crab walking", a homage to the Spycrab fad, while "Louis" is a reference to the designer brand Louis Vuitton.
  • When the Scout jokingly mentions that his father is Tom Jones, his personification of "God" interrupts his own sentence before unconvincingly correcting himself and saying that the Scout's dad was definitely Tom Jones. This continues the running gag and theory that the Spy is the Scout's biological father.
  • The scene in which Saxton Hale jumps out of his plane with Jerry clinging onto Maggie and screaming on the way down is similar to Page 7 of Ring of Fired.
  • On Page 256, the Medic is seen cradling a bandana-wearing baby baboon in the background, seemingly hinting at the success of his "Baboon Pregnancy Inducer" and the TFC Heavy's fate.
