As an update on the comic status – there will be a slight delay for the next update (the artist, Stefano, got the flu) but hopefully pages should resume next week.
You know…. this could actually work out. When the rescue personnel, reports, camera crews, and accident investigation team all descend on this tiny village they could end up getting some sweet swag.
But I have a bad feeling that this is one of those ‘disappeared into no-where’ crashes.
Actually, if the Natives have any smarts at all, they’ll drop this worshipping “gods” business like a rock, and start setting up the Cheap Souvenirs booths!
Priest’s thought bubble: “Crap, I didn’t expect this to work. I did this to placate the followers. I didn’t even plan past this part. What kind of wacky adventure am I going to try to get out of this?”
Actually, I don’t think there will be any rescue for them either. Remember, the natives somehow got that plane to jump 60 years back in time (1942). Those new Americans are now well and officially boned.
though, the Volkswagon was a German thing (and art deco car designed by Hitler himself on a napkin as the legend goes… man should’ve just stuck to cars and saved us all this trouble)
Yes, Ferdinand Porsche designed the Volkswagen and Hitler agreed to fund its manufacture for the German people. Then the war ended. Only a few hundred were built by war’s end, but they got back into making VW’s from 1947 on.
But it was Ferdinand’s son Ferry Porsche who actually came up with the Porsche sports car, not Ferdinand himself.

an overhead view of the americans disembarking the plane???
OK– the comic is not coming back. I say we make it a never-ending story page. Add your next step to the story — winner is whoever is creative or leaves the best cliff hanger.
Once Upon a time Flopsy the Bunny was romping through the forest. Flospy was worried because the crash in the economy had wiped out his 401K, and it is especially hard for bunnies to get work in bad economies. He was considering the pros and cons of setting up a ponzi scheme when there was a rustle of something large in the bushes to his right. Flopsy was shocked to see what emerged. It was…
…Whitney Houston. Thats right, Whitney Houston emerged from the bushes. She was rambling about Bobby Brown and Kevin Costner, and who would win in a game of RISK, when she suddenly grabbed flopsy by the ears, dragged him to a nearby pond, and drowned him. She wore him as a hat all the way back to her hotel, where she then decided that drowning seemed like a good way to go. She did a few bumps of her favorite “pixie dust”, drank a fifth of Chivas, poured out the contents of a 40oz for her dead homies, and sank into a relaxing bath. FIN.
That is, until she came back to HAUNT us all, what with seemingly endless tributes and memorials where everyone sang her praises as a singer [Best not to mention that attempt at acting], on and on and ON, totally ignoring that most of her life choices had been kinda’, well……………..
Crappy
So it really wasn’t all that surprising she ended the way she did [Other than why it didn't happen sooner, that is]
As for Flopsy [or is it "Flospy?], he decided to sue from the Afterlife!
…which is why he put out a call to you-know-who’s lawyer. The convo went something like this:
“Generically Named Law Firm, Trudy speaking, just a moment!”
“dontputmeonhold!” Flopsy said as fast as he could, but it was too slow. The so-called ‘smooth jazz’ began playing, and Flopsy counted off the seconds, minutes, and hours. Finally, the music stopped, and a new voice came on the line.

They surely don’t know our reputation. Half will try and take over while the other half will demand inexpensive local crafts and Mai Thais.
Yeah–When it comes to us Americans, we ALWAYS come!
there’s a joke in there somewhere
It’s too early to tell.
I think ‘too early’ might be part of the joke.
over the rainbow
You know…. this could actually work out. When the rescue personnel, reports, camera crews, and accident investigation team all descend on this tiny village they could end up getting some sweet swag.
But I have a bad feeling that this is one of those ‘disappeared into no-where’ crashes.
Actually, if the Natives have any smarts at all, they’ll drop this worshipping “gods” business like a rock, and start setting up the Cheap Souvenirs booths!
Remember that the first scene was set in ’42? I think this is more like one of those ‘disappeared backwards in time’ crashes
man, I hate when those happen!
And doesn’t the scene in this page kinda’ remind you of that last climactic moment in “Close Encounters of the Third Kind”?
Is it just me, or does the priest sound a little surprised that his voodoo schtick actually worked?
Priest’s thought bubble: “Crap, I didn’t expect this to work. I did this to placate the followers. I didn’t even plan past this part. What kind of wacky adventure am I going to try to get out of this?”
*cue sappy sitcom music*
And it all turns out to be another fine episode of “Gilligan’s Island”
Or “Lost”
Actually, I don’t think there will be any rescue for them either. Remember, the natives somehow got that plane to jump 60 years back in time (1942). Those new Americans are now well and officially boned.
Yeah– I think I saw that happen to a Kia once (get sucked back in time).
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8FMU5yPZgwM
That. Is. Awesome!
(that is the first time an ad actually made me want the product)
Why a Kia, I wonder?
Wouldn’t a Volkswagon Bug be more appropriate, somehow?
Especially since the Japanese are invading most of Asia and the Pacific.
What, AGAIN!?
[Dang! Can't turn yer' back on some people, can-ya'!?]
Not again they were doing it in the 40′s the same time this story takes place.
Eh, the Japanese are always “invading” us–They just use anime these days, instead…..
…with their tentacles
*ACK!*
Not the tentacles!!!!
though, the Volkswagon was a German thing (and art deco car designed by Hitler himself on a napkin as the legend goes… man should’ve just stuck to cars and saved us all this trouble)
Naw–Hitler couldn’t even paint a house, let alone design a car that looks like a bug–
Then again……
Can’t trust those Germans, neither–
[Says the Woman of half-German heritage]
Akshly it was designed by Ferdinand Porsche; all Hitler did was say “make me a cheap car.”
(And yes, *that* Ferdinand Porsche.)
Yes, Ferdinand Porsche designed the Volkswagen and Hitler agreed to fund its manufacture for the German people. Then the war ended. Only a few hundred were built by war’s end, but they got back into making VW’s from 1947 on.
But it was Ferdinand’s son Ferry Porsche who actually came up with the Porsche sports car, not Ferdinand himself.
FOOD!
I second that.
What?
The food or the Germans?
Or the German food…..?
All of the above.
That’s what I thought……
Maybe hes implying that the natives are cannibals
Dovahkiin got it right.
Chaman looks at Jumbo jet, looks down at his voodoo doll.
“Man, I was just asking for a little P-51!”
Looks down at voodoo doll.
“I think I bought the Xtra strong joo-joo by mistake”
Is that some sorta’ “penis envy” joke?
Only if you *really* want it to be…
is it just me, or shouldn’t there be another page by now???
yes there should be. maybe later tonight.
AArrrrrrgggghhhhhhhh — full day late on update. Must…..get……daily…..comic…….fix…….
what.
the.
no, seriously, though, what is going on? you guys are never late!!! what are we gonna doooooooo???
THAT IT!!! If you don’t post a comic RIGHT NOW…. I AM GOING TO CRASH AN F@#$#@ PLANE!

Did Our Beloved Cartoonists die?
There’s a post from admin, way back on March 10, says the artist got the flu. So, that’s nearly three weeks, but real flu is nasty.
Oh, man, seriously? (well, now I feel dumb).
Hey! Artist! Get well soon from all us readers! We (are desperate for an update, and) love you!!!
……………..|”’|………<- (how I picture his hair)

Believe me, even sitting upright is too much to handle with this stuff, let alone hold a pencil….!
Ooh, Yes!
I had what was just supposed to be a “mild variation” of that, and was down for nearly two weeks!
Get Well SOON, Mr. Cartoonist!

Ascii art does not work well. xD
machine guns as the 1942 americans defend out natives against these strange newbies???
airplane sound effects in psuedo-japanese (all manga style)???
an overhead view of the americans disembarking the plane???
… ok, out of guesses. what is it?
Clearly, the artist got dragged through a time vortex to 1942.
You mean, nineteen-fourty-flu
*Snorts with Laughter*
Good one, Xav….
No i’m sure the artist was an officer on board the U.S.S. Eldridge
Same diff–No?
Hey Stefano, hope you feel better soon! Rest up, I’ll be here waiting when you’re back on your feet, you guys have me hooked!
blue nose!!! ha ha ha (ok, that was my little kid moment of the day. love the avatar grooie)
OK– the comic is not coming back. I say we make it a never-ending story page. Add your next step to the story — winner is whoever is creative or leaves the best cliff hanger.
START OF STORY:
Once Upon a time Flopsy the Bunny was romping through the forest. Flospy was worried because the crash in the economy had wiped out his 401K, and it is especially hard for bunnies to get work in bad economies. He was considering the pros and cons of setting up a ponzi scheme when there was a rustle of something large in the bushes to his right. Flopsy was shocked to see what emerged. It was…

That is, until she came back to HAUNT us all, what with seemingly endless tributes and memorials where everyone sang her praises as a singer [Best not to mention that attempt at acting], on and on and ON, totally ignoring that most of her life choices had been kinda’, well……………..
Crappy
So it really wasn’t all that surprising she ended the way she did [Other than why it didn't happen sooner, that is]
As for Flopsy [or is it "Flospy?], he decided to sue from the Afterlife!
…which is why he put out a call to you-know-who’s lawyer. The convo went something like this:
“Generically Named Law Firm, Trudy speaking, just a moment!”
“dontputmeonhold!” Flopsy said as fast as he could, but it was too slow. The so-called ‘smooth jazz’ began playing, and Flopsy counted off the seconds, minutes, and hours. Finally, the music stopped, and a new voice came on the line.
“…
“I resent it when people fart inside my office.”
But that won’t stop the Secret Service!
It never does
And so the Secret Service, as always wearing their sunglasses and earmikes, bravely charge into the tub and RESCUE WHITNEY FROM CERTAIN DOOM!
[Beats taking a bullet for a Prez you didn't vote for, anyway.....]
Which is what flopsy did
