HALLOWEEN TIME!!! NEW VOTING INCENTIVES!!!
The Patreon bunch came up with some ‘interesting’ suggestions, so check the results out!
As for this comic…
I think Phoebe speaks for all of us here.
I have to say that I grossly underestimated the time sink that the hard shadows would become. They add about two or three hours of work to every comic and have put me kind of behind schedule. But that’s what I’m doing now, I guess.
did he HAVE to say that part in Panel 4, IN FRONT OF HIS DAUGHTER?!?!
and yes, I mean the girl dressed as Scrappy-Doo!
I considered whether Miranda should be in the shot. But then I thought that it was funnier. So I left her in.
Given some of his, er, behavior, he’s lucky Captain Cobra is still attached.
Amen to that.
CAPTAIN Cobra … or Privates?
I see what you did there.
I have absolutely no idea why I find “Captain Cobra” so hilarious, but here I am starting at my computer chuckling to myself.
It’s just too stupid. So it goes outside the walls of sanity and ends up in funny land.
Aliteration. Aliteration can be funny.
Private Peter…Corporal Cocker…Sergeant Sausage…Lieutenant Loveshaft…Major Manmuscle…Colonel Cornholer…General Gigglestick…
Yes, I looked them up on a slang site.
Major Woody, Lieutenant Longfellow, Lance Corporal
Not all with alliteration
Private Parts
Forgot the Navy. Admiral Anaconda, Midshipman Middleleg…no real good word to go with “Ensign,” at least not on the site I’m looking at.
Sergeant Schlong, General Jonnson(same sound)
More like Trouser Snake. Or in the words of ATHF’s Carl: “The Wildebeest” (“Yeah, I give him a name”).
Not to mention you get hypersensitive to stuff happening behind you. It is NOT a good time to get surprised.. soft tissue and steel teeth do not mix, not even as an unusual crime-fighting duo.
Yeah, you become very aware of how vulnerable you are. And there are so few crime-fighting duos that actually work.
when he said captain cobra a picture of cobra commander popped into my head.
Cobra Commander at the urologist’s office. The Baroness and Destro are stuck in the waiting room.
Cobra Commander would have probably been the funnier name. I realize that now.
Yup. Yelling “COBRA!”
Gonna enjoy having that parsed by Freudians
Guess who’s getting a Christmas card this year.
Captain Cobra, eh? I’ve heard worse.
Like Miranda’s going to remember.
Do you think it’s an O-3 or an O-6? Knowing Colon, it’s more like an E-1/2.
Like Drake? Like, turn the O2 into the O3?
What?
Do you know the NATO rank codes?
Why would I?
I don’t know. Maybe you’re a nerd?
Anyway, NATO has a system of rank codes so that people from different member-militaries can figure out who’s equivilent to who.
The U.S., of course has our own which fits into the NATO system with one exception. What we call O-1 and O-2, NATO calls OF-1.
Why is that important, I hear you ask. Well, Captain in the U.S. uniformed services can either be an O-6 (Navy, Coast Guard, PHS or NOAA) or an O-3 (Army, Air Force or Marines, I don’t know that the heck the Space Force is doing or why we have one). So the capainsy of the . . . cobra [???] in question depends on its service.
On the other hand, the lowest enlisted rank is an OR-1 in NATO codes and E-1 in the U.S. An E 1/2 is the equivilent of giving a little kid the jersey number 000 in a Marks Bros. movie.
That was a lot about pengiuns. And very badly misspelled. Sorry. I got on a roll there.
I’m a nerd. Just not THAT kind of nerd.
“I’m a nerd. Just not THAT kind of nerd.”
Good point. 🙂
(Check’s out the awesome vote incentive)
…Man, I’d totally forgotten who Heather was. Had to look her up on Characters page and re-read her story arc.
Yeah, I hesitated putting her in because it’s been years since she showed up in the comic. But I went for it anyway.
She WILL come back. Eventually.
Heather’s that spice in the back of the cabinet that has a very definite flavor you want but not very often. She is a disturbingly fine choice for the voting incentive underboub/underbun.
I always aim for disturbingly fine.
She has to. She has to see Colon and be horrible about it.
If she’s unhappy, maybe she and Tracee should switch rolls.
Mind you, I’m, not overly concerned about her happiness. 🙂
Eh, at least it isn’t Cobra Commander.
It rightly should have been.
Commander Cobra, maybe?
Nah. Forget I said that.
TMI, Colin, TMI! 😉
