Christopher Doyle said...: Saber:

I've always intended to use time travel to visit past strips - I was setting that up back as far as Episode 20.

But, strangely, this was never intended to be one of "those" spots in the storyline. The executives/Pat are described in the plot as leaving in the escape pods - hardly a loose end.

That I've decided to go back and complicate matters...well, if you've got a Time Machine you might as well use it...; April 15, 2008 at 9:47 AM
Maarten said...: Hey Chris, can you make an animated landing for the BH?
I know you didn't want to make another, but you have teh skilz.
I have seen many, many BAAAAAAD tardises departing, and you are the only one I've seen so far making a good tardis-like animation of something dematerializing.; April 15, 2008 at 9:55 AM

Desmosthenes said...: Correct me if i'm wrong, but Donut's plan sounds more like it would come out of Back to the Future II, not III. But maybe that's just me being picky.; April 15, 2008 at 11:17 AM
Christopher Doyle said...: Thomas:

No, dang it, you're right. I had two and three switched in my head. I'll make a correction.; April 15, 2008 at 11:47 AM

Jake said...: Wait, time travel? does that mean we have to go through ALL of the past episodes after the episode you are planning?Until Today's?; April 15, 2008 at 5:33 PM
Geoffrey said...: Hmm if I know wishing and when you don't get what you wish for like I think I do, when they capture Pat O'Buttah, things will go horribly wrong.

There are granted wishes and not-granted wishes, and I reckon Pat's one of the latter, so Donut had better be prepared.

I've been without a PC since the monitor died Friday morning. Glad to see the Brick House cast is finally getting somewhere.; April 15, 2008 at 8:33 PM

1) I am a mark for BTTF, but I am not seeing any coneections, or omages

2) I personally think Butter-Balls would be funnier,

Anyway great chapter so far!; April 15, 2008 at 9:44 PM
Anonymous said...: As far back as Episode 20, eh? Well, that means... the French restaurant... did we ever learn who set off the fireball?

Oh...

Joel Hook said...: i know who started the fire! i bet whisky after stealling butter travels back in time and starts the fire, chef then sees future whisky but thinks its present (past) whisky causing a paradox... Simple

cant you have a BTTF2 moment where there are 2 versions of a character?? no wait make it weirder and have whisky from distant future arrive too like on series 2 of RD; April 16, 2008 at 7:00 PM
