Description
As any gamer knows, the goal of the original Pac-Man is to collect all of the pellets and Bonus Fruits in a maze while avoiding the four ghosts; Blinky, Pinky, Inky, and Clyde. Obviously the ghosts catching Pac-Man is bad, but how exactly that is gave me an idea to draw this! Who sounds like the worst ghost to get caught by? I have a feeling most people reading this will say Clyde! I hope you guys find this funny!Pac-Man and the Ghost Gang (Blinky, Pinky, Inky, & Clyde) are owned by Namco Bandai

XD Haha, yeah, and I wanna read his fanfics now, I'm that crazy and brave about it! XD

Something tells me that Pinky will either force him to wear a pink frilly dress and makeup or maybe a groom suit (Due to her crush for him, and no, Ghostly Adventure isn't the only continuity where she has a crush on him). XD
And for the fanfic, only a girl can read that. XD

Probably the groom suit, and then she'd want Pac-Man to play house (I don't think anyone does that anymore; it's just too awkward).
I didn't think a girl would even consider reading something from the creepy, pervy mind of Clyde...! So would you be brave enough to read his SpongebobXPatty story? Not like there is actually anything to read about that, I just made that up for the comic! ...At least I hope no one ships those two... or decides to do a real one after reading this comic...

Clyde's actions have a hilarious outcome though mentally destructive to Pacman. xD

Yeah, Clyde can be really creepy when it comes to shipping; which is why NO ONE (not even the other Ghosts) wants to read them!
Clyde: "B-but, my stories are well-written! Even if they're admittedly borderline X-rated! Pac-Man didn't even reach the best chapter before he passed out!"
Pac-Man: "Is it the last one where it's all just a nightmare?"
Clyde: "Don't be silly Pac-Man, I'd never ruin such a great couple! The best chapter is titled 'Nasty Patty'!"
Pac-Man: ".........?!"

X-rated should stay out of Pacman lol

Well, it's good to see you like the comic!

I'm glad you think so! Yeah, Pac-Man will definitely want to grab those Power Pellets for revenge after what the Ghosts subjected him to!

JBX9001, I've played Pac-Man's game at 8bbit.com before. However, I've lost level 2, because of those annoying ghosts...

Yeah, this game was really difficult considering it started out as an arcade game. Since people couldn't exactly buy the game for themselves at the time, they made it to where you'll want to keep spending quarters to get farther in the game and compete for that high score! You must've played an emulated version of it, so it was probably similar to the original version.
The key is to keep an eye on the ghosts and plan ahead of time; Blinky and Pinky (red and pink) will actively pursue Pac-Man, but Blinky is determined to catch him from the get-go. Inky (the blue one) is trickier than the others, and may take alternate paths to try and outsmart you. Clyde (the orange one) doesn't really try to chase Pac-Man; he'll just be goofing around.

Honestly, only part of what you said about the ghosts are true(from my experience).
Ghosts alternate between chasing pacman and go back to their corner by timer, so sometimes even Blinky will give up chasing just to get back to his corner. I think this was to prevent that some player who is good enough to just group the ghost and therefore they're less of a threat.
and now for the ghost themselves, Blinky will actively chase you, and will usually take the route that you just went through; Pinky will partly chase pacman, but will usually approach in another way which will try to block the pacman from where he's going; Inky tries to chase pacman, but sometimes actually backs away from pacman when he gets too close(not sure how though); and Clyde is mainly just goofing around, occasionally chase pacman only if he's near.
But this is from my experience so yours might be different.
once you get the pattern I think you'll have an easier time on it(my record is around level 7~8)

Well, it's been so long since I last had the opportunity to play the first Pac-Man (or any game in the series for that matter), so I might not be 100% accurate...

Eh it's okay.
The school actually have arcade machine for it(and it's free play) so I play on it(or some other arcade machine) often when I can't get to the other part of the school to play smash/etc
btw I just renewed my record of stage 9(or whatever the first stage where the "fruit" is a galaxian) and 41710 score, though I can't get the high score because it's along the lines of 70k..
the main part is mostly keeping up with game's speed and knowing what the ghost will do(especially on the beginning of stage where ghosts move in pretty much a fixed pattern)

I see, that school sounds pretty cool! And over 70,000 you say? Someone must've been on a roll!

Horrid Fanfiction >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> All other forms of torture.
You really can't blame Pac-Man.

Yeah, after that "incident", Pac-Man had to get eye drops to relieve the burning pain in his eyes and seek therapy for a whole week!

Is there really a Spongebob Squarepants & Patty Thompson fic?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hopefully not, I just made that up to be funny. I'd probably react just like Pac-Man here if I came across a real fanfic of that!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ohhh...I see.
And to Pinky, not even her Ghostly Adventures version isn't THAT attracted to Pac!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, I guess that one's a bit too extreme... Then again, that's more incentive for Pac-Man to keep his distance!
