Episode 397

Read the comic here.

Not really a season cliffhanger (that happened today over in S-Team), but still a good "tune in next week" bum-BUM-bum moment.

  1. Hmmm - I thought you said this wasn't a TARDIS? So suddenly Donut and Whiskey are taking an impromptu time-space voyage powered by chilli, and triggered by an Advent Calendar hairball. I wonder how much gas those red ones have in them? Does the Brick House have an auto-tracking facility?

    And what happens to Friday's episode? I'm not familiar with US hlidays, but if it's a holiday, sure, take time off and give your two former beloved feline friends a properly guided departure into the mysterious unknowable feline afterlife.

    Heck, even if it's not a holiday, do it anyway! You'll be glad you got it done.

  2. Geoffrey:
    The Brick House does indeed now work like a TARDIS - if I counterdicted that in the blog somewhere, I misspoke. There are going to be differences, obviously (for example, the Doctor's TARDIS isn't powered by Space-Time Chili as far as I know), but in general it's a homage to (rip off of) the concept.

    As a recap: When Whiskey and Co left the Advent Universe (just before it imploded) they entered the time stream - as shown in #372 and #373. They had yet to make a "landing" anywhere. Donut was planning on using Whiskey's Hair to direct them to Luka...wherever she might be. Obviously, that didn't work out as planned.

    Not sure what you're asking about regrading Friday's (today's) episode. There's been five strips this week - just like always...

  3. So, I guess that's the end of this episode. Right?

  4. Jakester:

    That's the idea. (I'm going to have to find an alternate word for "episode", though, since I use that for the daily strip name.)

    It'll be explained a bit more clearly in next week's strips.

  5. BTW, How do you get the skull?

  6. Okay, I miscounted. My bad. Although I still think the whole time wasted introducing the hair could've been a bit better done.

    I wonder what would happen if the hair's exit strategy goes horribly wrong, and Donut and Whiskey end up saving it from a predicament it created?

    Jake: Dude, chill. I have no idea what skull you're talking about.

  10. Wait...are you freaking out about the skull-n-crossbones in the text? It's just a character in the diediedie font. (Linked to yesterday)

    ReplyDelete
  11. Yeah, I have diediedie downloaded, and I've been trying to find out how to do the skull/crossbones, Buuutttt, I can't. Who would have thought.

    So what I am simply asking is "HOW DO YOU DO IT?"

    BTW, I'm not 'Freaking out".

  14. I Had a weird dream about this last night!I got a package that had a pictyre of a legoman with a classic lego smile head on it and when I opened it(all items were minifig scale)there was a brown 2 story victorian style house,a blue MEModels(Custom lego store-currently closed)VW Beetle,a Jimi Hendrix minifig,2 80's style lego cars,a lego jeep and a CLASSIC WHISKEY MINIFIG!!!I almost cried when I woke up and found out it wasn't real.
    anyway,I wonder will this be the path to Luka?

    ReplyDelete
  15. V-beetle, if that's what you dream about then all I can say is that you must spend too much time around lego.

  23. Wow. DW, either that's a brilliant bit of snark at another forum member or you've gone insane.

    Pity I can't tell which.

  26. I am simply asking How do you type in the skull-n-crossbones?


    And, Yes, I already have Diediedie downloaded.

    ReplyDelete
  27. Hey, Chris, why is comment moderation on? And if it was, why did you approve DW's spam?



    Or is it on because of his spam?

  28. Jake: Use the charmap program to find the extra characters. To get the skull, Press and hold the alt key while typing 0205 on the keypad. Or just use charmap to cut-n-paste it. Which is what I did.

  29. Jan: Reader mail will be read in next week's episodes.

  30. Chris: Where do you get the "charmap"?

  31. Nick:

    Some joker decided to try and post as me. That, in addition to the spamming of questions, made me turn on moderation. More work for me, but I'd rather not have my blog cluttered up by nonsense like that.

    Jake: You may have heard of this thing called "Google"...

    Charmap is a program that comes with Windows. You'll find it under the Accessories/System Tools folder on the start menu in XP for example.
