2006-10-18: Experiment (500 Years)
Layered Humour
There are so many funny things going on in this comic I have to point some out so you get a sense of what sort of comic genius I am.
Dr Quickly looks funny with a beard. Somehow he slept through the planet's disassembly and reassembly into a ringworld. In five hundred years, only a little water evaporated (or maybe rainfall?!). His beard is probably really really long, I should have drawn a panel demonstrating this. His eyes went pale with age. He's so wrinkly!! There are only a couple things on his shelves. He is using slang, but is not comfortable with it. And so forth.
This comic is in the storyline:
- Variations
A long-running series, maybe the crux of the site. Reader submits a suggestion, and I draw three comics based on that suggestion. Originally all three had to start the same, but it evolved.
