Huh. I wonder how long we're going to stay here.

This, The 4th. :)

Not only does he arrive in Timeless Space, but is there immediately recognized by someone who seems more Together. Someone who has been there for a while and fit herself in... a natural minion... in strange garb, and its hard to see her face. But I have my suspeculations.

Both the time Bun-bun was there, "Uncle" T. was busy delivering someone else... I think the question is more whether he'll grey-out *before* he hits the ocean.

But, then, it's also documented that the perception of a greyed-out someone is a jump over the events they were grey for. Really, timeless space seems to be the most effective prison for those who insist on trying to keep awake and get away from it. Which is sort-of an awesome invention, O Pete.

Hmm. Two pages of comments, and not a single one noted the pair of glasses with one opaque lens........

...no spec here... ...move along...

I had the same though about the glasses ;-)

Why? Why would you be happy to return to the longest, most incoherent, monotonous, exposition-heavy, exposition-heavy, exposition-heavy, side-story slog in the history of the Sluggyverse? WHYYYYY???

No I'm pretty sure going in is the (only) way out. The fact is that nobody who goes in comes back again so nobody know's it's the way out.

I mean yeah Bunbun is a special case in a lot of ways, but there's know reason to believe there was anything special about that. We didn't know he was a god or anything until long after Oceans Unmoving.

Sotanaht is right. Uncle Time explains that the answer to the riddle of Uncle Time is to fall into the oceans unmoving. Those who do are let out. (Of course, he never explained what the riddle was exactly.)

So much this.

/relurk

Oceans Unmoving was the best side story ever. It probably works better reading it in a straight shot instead of going day by day (I wouldn't know, I'd just picked up Sluggy as the second arc was coming to a close and didn't have to wait each day for a new strip to come out) but as it stands it's my favorite of all the side stories and I'd love a return to it.

Because it was AWESOME!!!!

But weren't Tyler's glasses round on Monday (and previously)? Here they were more squareish.

(hooray for ocean's unmoving 3!)

Apparently I don't get the reference.

Bun-Bun was in the ocean (twice), and Uncle Time said he solved the riddle, but that doesn't mean falling in is the solution. Uncle Time may have meant that Bun-Bun II (in the Obsidian Teknokon) had gotten there with his earlier self, and so must have figured out the twin paradox and thus the whole timey-wimey bit...?
