Does Monday have to make a new thread for today?

Damn...

That's a different sort of vehicle. But shouldn't that be a sandworm instead of a sandtipede?

Also, Zoe, even if you break up with Torg, he still won't technically be single: he is engaged to Oasis.

By the way, in line 2 panel 2, Wilcott says "It may be green energy. That is one ugly ride"
Probably would be better as "It may be green energy but that is one ugly ride"

I don't get the pun. Specifically "insect-ond of time cent" part. Can someone explain it for me?

Wow he corrected that quickly if the "but" was originally missing. I'm more interested in knowing if "out relationship" is supposed to be "our relationship." As far as the pun goes I'm pretty sure it's just playing off of sect in insect sound like the first syllable of second and the last two syllables of centipede sounding like "impede." Not exactly the strongest of puns, unless I'm missing something, so I can see how you wouldn't get it, because I'm not sure I do either.

It seems (to me) to be, "Don't let this second of time impede our relationship."

That is if "out" is a typo and is supposed to be "our".

Torg is saying (without the puns):
"Don't let this second of time impede our relationship."

There's a typo on the word 'out'. With the puns it should be:
"Don't let this insect-ond of time cent-impede our relationship."

Yeah, if out is part of the pun, I definitely don't get it.

Dimmit! Even as I was fixing the 'but' typo I was saying to myself 'Pete, you know there's a second mistake there'. It almost always happens when I jump in and try to fix a typo right away. It's why I don't fix nuthin' ;)

I'm blaming the still existent sinus infection. Or my current obsession with Pulp City (I have no idea which packs to get! Too many are too cool!)

I almost feel like this comic should have a reference link.

I knew it would be the puns that'd ruin their relationship! The Pun Demon is the true Big Bad of Sluggy Freelance

And so it begins! A woman using (the benefits of) a relationship as leverage. If she was a bug, she wouldn't be a ladybug.

Unicycles for the car. Torg's brain is so funny. There he stands, surrounded by demons, and his imagination is still coming up with weird scenarios. I would sure like to ins(p)ect that bugmobile myself.

Oh hush, don't be that guy.

Asking Torg not to pun is like asking fish not to swim, though, he cannot help it.

Wow. I don't remember the last time we had such a shocking reveal that told us absolutely nothing.

Unicycles. Oh, Torg.
