Daily Strip: April 30, 2012

Even the vowelless one only promises hell on earth.

K'Z'K, as several knowlegable characters have said, IS the end. Of humanity, the universe, everything. 'Hell on Earth' is only the Bug having some fun before he decides to make existence go 'bye-bye.'

Monday is not sure why the weekend tried again, but nobody -once again- figured out what the codes were for.

Maybe they have 14-character VINs in Croatia?

There are ways. Loft a bunch of little somethings that move fast from the far side of the planet, and catch it from above. Most orbital weapons are designed to point down, and satellites in general usualy take awhile to reposition.

Yes. Satellite networks don't usually worry about threats from space; they're such a huge step up from ground/sky warfare that they assume nothing is above them.

But -- does Schlock even have the satellites yet? I thought he needed to get them and might not because of the recent military contract termination.

Wait, so is Crushestro Chinese or is he just based in China?

This was a really good strip as it not only summarizes what has happened before (and there is a lot of that) but it also shows us the next order of business. This goes all the way back to when Torg, Bun-Bun and Kiki were in the shadow world place and Torg gained his resolve.

It's not exactly like Riff has insider information. He's just working off the similarities with 4U city.

Maybe it's more meta than that though.

I feel like we need the moo of doom sound effect in that last panel... Does anyone else?

Yes.

Yesx3. More Moo please!

In slightly more serious notes, nice two day catch-us-up Pete, know you were trying to avoid the painful recap. Sam's icky Oasis comment and Zoe's offhand verbal slap-down fit in great. :)

Admit I'm still trying to figure out why Torg didn't catch the orbital Flux Agitator the first time Riff told the story... though Torg did storm off in shock. Works well though, and like how Riff and Torg each ended the two days dramatically. (part of me's feeling Oasis could use some colors though, on her "biggest threat to all my friends all along!" detail. Just a thought for such a tactical hingpoint).

Also notice the forum counts are picking up, sweet. Guessing people smell plot. And they told us that Swedish furniture was stain resistant! (I'm looking at you, Kiki. You always leave the most plot lying around )

Also when Bun Bun made his promises... though I'm not sure he considers those in force now what with how hard it was to get him to fight the FIRST time. Still, he's more or less his own grudge motivation now. (though I sincerely hope Bun Bun's interesting backstory and motives don't get shortchanged just to take out Oasis- so many of us still waiting on his origins :P )
