Episode 457

Read the comic here.

It's good to see the new Donut hasn't forgotten the goals of the previous incarnation.

What'd I miss?

Or are you saying with this strip that the whole frying and capturing Pat is what you were referring to back at the comments for Epsiode 455?; June 20, 2008 at 7:42 AM

I'd consider finishing up Luka's story a fairly major event - and today's strip leads directly into that resolution.

Thanks. It's warms my heart to know that all the time and effort I put into the strip is appreciated. I'd like to add that I just love the tight plot and fast pacing of your own, nearly two year old web comic. If only I had half of the creativity and building skills you've displayed!; June 20, 2008 at 8:12 AM
Geoffrey said...: Why don't you have an effigy of splash1 stand in for Pat next week?

That throwback to his comment was priceless, can I get that framed and hung? ;)

Finishing up Luka's story is good, finding her will be a whole new adventure though. And yes, that's a reference of sorts to Peter Pan, although I guess even he'd be amazed at the idea Donut ripped off of Doctor Who. ;); June 20, 2008 at 8:19 AM

Even though he has calmed down after being fried, I still don't trust Pat. I doubt he would have gone with them if they'd simply asked. Even if he had, he still needed a roasting.; June 20, 2008 at 11:14 AM
A. Blonigen said...: yup. I agree with you 100%; June 20, 2008 at 12:23 PM

i didn't mean anything by it
i'm just saying it's a stupid way to end the week...can you please explain to us who Scotch is and the entire backstory before the world ends?!

i'm sorry....i don't know what came over me; June 20, 2008 at 5:59 PM

My response was quite a bit harsher than your comment merited - I'm sorry about that. I'm having a rough week, and I read your comment at just the wrong time.

It's not much of a comment area if I only allow happy/positive responses - without constructive feedback I'd have a hard time improving the strip. The trick, I guess, is to ask you to phrase it a bit more helpfully than just "that's stupid."

Scotch's backstory is indeed in the queue for a future chapter - I'm hoping to have everything revealed before we wade into this year's Advent pregame.; June 20, 2008 at 7:56 PM
Anonymous said...: Splash1, I have this to say to you.
Wow, You're really dumb, Scotch's been around since the beginning. He's the frog. Go read the archives!; June 23, 2008 at 4:10 AM
