#full-tilt

2023 is over, so it's time to find out which one of our top 12 most obscure characters is the people's champion. The list was put together by taking the last six characters from the "by percentage" section and the last six from the "by number of votes" section, skipping duplicates. This time, vote for whoever you want to win, regardless of whether you know them or not! Make sure you read all options carefully before voting because you can only do so once. Have fun and may the best obscure character win!

wada sez: I believe Full-Tilt is a favorite of Rui Onishi’s, which would explain his appearance here. Unusually for Fisher, this strip doesn’t slavishly recreate the character’s Budiansky bio—which reads “First Aid hates seeing a machine in pain - even if the machine itself is unaware that it's hurting. He's been known to fix broken street lamps and administer water to overheated cars on his travels.”—and instead establishes a more grounded ethical dilemma seemingly inspired by the medical principle of “do no harm”. I can only assume that in the final panels, First Aid accidentally sets the cure down on an inclined surface, causing it to promptly roll off and shatter on the floor. Whoops! Clean inks, sketches for the strip, and a painting based on one of the panels are all included below.
