To be clear, Colin is NOT going to get the Mystery Machine again. Though the concept did appeal to me.
And for those who wonder where the raccoon get the chocolate sauce from, I'm sure it was hiding somewhere in the kitchen. A true chef will always work with the tools at hand.

Ahh, classic bad influence.
And that van should be black with a red line down it.
The sort of van you’d see if you are in trouble, if nobody can help you, and if you can find them.
Colin would be in high heaven if he could get that ride.
Bust out his little Lego man for a copilot.
Chocolate sauce and popcorn. Can we assume butter flavored popcorn?
Nothing wrong with salty chocolate, South Park has a song about it.
You CAN assume.
You know where this is going. You know your Colin.
That PARTICULAR van was my first thought also.
I’d thought it was the faux Mystery Machine, ‘cuase we know he can get his paws on it.
You cannot deny a child and her need to get into mischief. Still, Puck and Colin has to make sure that Miranda is fully healthy and fit to be involved with this from afar.
Sometimes you need to deny a child her need to get into mischief.
If there is no denial, how can there be mischief?
I always thought “denial” was a river in Egypt…
Ba-dum tsh!
So the big kid (Colin) made a diversion so that the little kid (Miranda) (and she’s big enough that she’s only little relative to the human-esque adults) could engage in antics.
Bad baby-sitter!
Hey, no one ever said he was a GOOD babysitter. Just that he was free.
And not suitable for any other needed work.
I suspect some of the brilliant planning of the operation was done by Captain Jack or Scatman John, whichever one of them the raccoon is. (And I only remembered the names after the older strip went up on deviantART a while ago.)
Good assisted memory.
A van? Oh, no, not the Mystery Machine again…
Nah, we gotta mix it up.
Hmmm . . Ghostbusters ambulance? Or, Ghostbusters Ford T? I vote for the latter, because almost everybody’s seen the Ecto-1, few the Ghost Buggy! (Also, is it a Ford T? A Ford T limousine? Anybody know?)
Are you talking about the Filmation Ghostbusters? Seriously? Deep cut, man.
Yup. The sequence when the two guys are kitted out is a classic!
There was a Ghostbusters live action show? The 70’s were odd.
Well, with Nixon, Ford and Carter, how could it not be?
Reply to Frank= Yes, Ghostbusters was a short-lived Saturday morning live-action tv series, featuring Larry Storch and Forrest Tucker, plus a gorilla (actually a man in a gorilla suit). Then, the Filmation animated cartoon series, tying to the live-action by the two main characters being the sons of the two humans. Meaning, Ghostbusters had The Next Generation before Star Trek!
I hated that version of Ghostbusters. It was like it was crafted in a lab to be horribly unappealing to me.
“I hated that version of Ghostbusters. It was like it was crafted in a lab to be horribly unappealing to me.”
It lasted for 15 episodes. Filmation’s customers seem to have agreed with you.
The cartoon version was a product of pure spite. They made it just to punish the Ghostbusters movie franchise for going back on a promise to let Filmation do the animated version.
Well, what about the animation THE REAL GHOSTBUSTERS being a swipe at the Filmation shows. I mean they were a bit slapstick with the show.
But I really dug THE REAL GHOSTBUSTERS because of the movie.
Now THAT was a show.
I was mad at Ivan Reitman for making a Ghostbusters movie without Tracy the Gorilla or even a nod to Bob Burns. What sort of rip off was that?
“The cartoon version was a product of pure spite. They made it just to punish the Ghostbusters movie franchise for going back on a promise to let Filmation do the animated version.”
Sadly, I didn’t watch the Real Ghostbusters, I was not in their target demographic.
I did watch about half of one episode of the Tracy-lead Ghostbusters. I can see why it wasn’t popular. They were paradying Nission Impossible and the Marx Brothers and other things (maybe Abbot and Costello?) but not as well as the original and on an obviously very cheep budget. I don’t blame anyone for not being a fan, although I thought Tracy was a good character. Possibly the best.
. . . looks like Miranda now has her own partner in crime. Sorry Puck, apologies Colin, but Rascal T. Raccoon and Miranda are now a bonded pair. Think Calvin and Hobbes, except they’re both Calvin. As for the van . . . odd, but I’m thinking Satan will say they can ‘borrow’ a Hamilton SWAT APC, everybody eyes wide at hearing Hamilton has a SWAT team, Satan saying of course the city does, consider the neighbourhood they’re in . . .
Hamilton has a SWAT team. They don’t mess around.
Trash Panda, the real MVP team player.
Happily sharing his ill-gotten gains while doing Colin’s job.
Happy Canada Day to everyone who celebrates it! It seems Miranda has a new friend! What better way to bond than eating chocolate syrup covered popcorn? 🙂
Should be maple syrup for Canada Day, I realize now.
Canada Day is the right day to see Scott Pilgrim. Which I just did. In a theater. And I didn’t have to walk 3 something miles to get home.
Stop bragging. I wish I was seeing Scott Pilgrim in the theater.
It was fun! The big screen doesn’t love it as much as it loves Star Trek II or the Blues Brothers, but it really does like it.
They should do Canadian films for Canada day every year.
“Canadian Bacon” for Canada day.
Nice and topical.
Elbows up!
“You know at least 24 decilitres of you is Canadian.”
O.K., that 84 fl. oz. Imperial and 81 fl.oz. American. It’s also 150 cubic inches. O.K., that’s more than a pint, but less than all of me.
Maybe I should give Canadian Bacon a try. The movie, nt the meat product. I’ve had that and it’s fine. Annnnd now I want some bacon.
Canadian Bacon the movie is … fine. Brings up warm memories of John Candy but not really that funny. Canadian bacon the meat product isn’t Canadian. We don’t eat that. You can’t even buy it here.
“Canadian bacon the meat product isn’t Canadian. We don’t eat that. You can’t even buy it here.”
That’s legitimately disappointing. But I think I knew that. You can still get Hawai’ian pizza I hope.
Hawaiian pizza was invented in a diner in Chatham, ON by the Greek owner in an attempt to do something different. It was named after the brand of pineapple he was using. This, unlike most food origins, is an undisputed fact, because while there are MANY places, people and locations that want to claim to be the birthplace of pizza, no one wants to claim the unholy creation that is Hawaiian pizza as their own.
In short, Hawaiian pizza is a distinctly Canadian creation. And you can blame Canada for it. And yes, it’s readily available up here.
“In short, Hawaiian pizza is a distinctly Canadian creation. And you can blame Canada for it. And yes, it’s readily available up here.”
Good. I’d hate to think they gave up on it ’cause of the people who don’t like it.
You know, it’s surprising how many goofy Canadian things I’m a fan of. Puck, Scott Pilgrim, Frivolesque, I Dream of a Jeanie Bottle and Sailor Sun.org (same artist), Bues Brothers and Deadpool (partially Canadian). I’m sure I’m missing something.
The world is telling you something. You are spiritually Canadian.
“The world is telling you something. You are spiritually Canadian.”
But there’s so much goofy American and Mexican stuff I like too! And I don’t want to be metric!
You know at least 24 decilitres of you is Canadian.
Oh, Colin!
Tracee Jr.! Look at you! Is this princess behavior? Would Lea do this? Well, that might be why Ben turned out the way he did. But that’s her own kid! You’re borrowing this one and not returning her is a similar condition as when you got her!
Let’s not acknowledge the sequel trilogy. The more we talk about it, the more likely it is that people will think it’s canon.
But I liked two-thirds of it.
I haven’t seen the last one. My Breanna is dead-set against it.
Uhm, what? Ben, Lea?
Star Wars references. It’s pretty geeky in here.
Leia. Sp.
Damnit. I hate it when I do that.
So are we going to experience a return of the illustrious “Mystery Machine” perhaps??? O_o
We sure Rascal’s name isn’t “Franklin?” #IYKYK
We are not sure.
Hey so is that chocolate sauce that the raccoon is eating. Because I’m not sure that’s a good idea.
Eh, Rascal T. Raccoon is a Hamilton trash panda, also an emissary from the Lady of the Park. We’re talking a carbon-steel stomach and immunity to all poison, plutonium included!
Even Polonium 210?
Raccoons lover chocolate sauce. It’s not poison. Raccoons are unkillable.
Tracee Jr. is a free racoon and does as she likes. And she likes chocolate syrup with her popcorn.
It appears that I am the only one who remembers what happened the LAST time Colin was left alone to babysit Miranda…
Honestly, I think the Racoon would be a better fit for that task! Too bad he’s got other duties too…
Ooh, me too! Me too! I remember!
Why does it look like Tracee has a fox tail?
It’s the envelope. With the paper. I see what you’re saying.
Tracee IS a fox. That’s all I need say. 😉
Humm. I think Satan’s envelope is…. interesting.
I think it’s only slightly more exciting than Colin’s.
