Shortpacked!@TNI: I just realized now I could have done a Raiders ref. I am a loser.
Shortpacked!: This strip says "screw you!" to conventional reading order.No, seriously, I mean it. A single case of Wave 3 Indiana Jones being carted slowly through an entire warehouse full of boxes of Waves 1 and 2? It's so obvious. So simple in its beauty. ( Read more... )

...that is the most awesome wedding EVER.

astro_l August 18 2008, 03:36:43 UTC

Agreed. I think it beats the similarly costumetastic "medieval" wedding I went to some years back. The Scarecrow fucking terrifies me.

When they asked if anyone knew why they shouldn't be married, did Captain Pike beep?

astro_l August 18 2008, 03:35:30 UTC

HA.

As an aside... agent13 August 18 2008, 03:28:47 UTC

Have you seen the cover to The Batman Strikes #48?

Batman. Breathing in space. Apparently.

He's done it before, in the '80s Justice League. Granted, there was a satellite deliberately keeping everyone alive, but still...

I didn't realize I was supposed to read it in columns, but it still worked for me. The continual reinforcement of Ethan not reacting was its own kind of funny.

Wait, did Friday's comic change? I thought the last panel of Friday was all three in the same panel, but that's not there anymore.

shortpacked August 18 2008, 04:10:04 UTC

I'm not sure where you saw that panel!

it does seem a bit confusing but I suppose theyre waking up at different times since the painting on the wall clearly indicates they are in different rooms- which im sure was your reason for drawing it, and probably telling yourself "I am doing a great service to my readers by drawing this painting in the background!"

I wonder what Roadblock has to say about all this.

astro_l August 18 2008, 05:30:32 UTC

Wait.... maybe I don't get it anymore. I thought they were all in bed together, but the rooms are lit differently. To indicate time of day, maybe? So........... who did Mike actually spend the night with?
