    “So how does this thing work?” Doc asks.

    “For people on your level,” Sheldon starts, “it’s best explained by demonstrating. You couldn’t possibly understand the physics behind it and I don’t have time to explain. Follow me please, and pay close attention…”

    The trio follows Sheldon through the back door to his back yard.

    Sheldon kneels down on the patio and starts scrubbing the cement.

    “Hand me that bottle please,” he points to a bottle on a nearby shelf.

    Alley gives it to him and Sheldon pours a little liquid on the scrubbed area.

    “I need to prep the area first before using my biophonic outworld lasar,” he explains.

    :Subsequently, the bio-hook should have enough chemicals combined with inertia so we won’t have to do this every time.”

    “Do what every time?” asks Oscar.

    “You wouldn’t understand.”

    The cement turns dark and emits a funny smell..

    “That should do it.”

    Then Sheldon goes over to the shed and rolls out his biophonic outworld lasar. It’s somewhat large and bulky. He points the lasar at the prepped area and turns it on.

    A beam shoots out.

    The bottom panel of the comic strip starts to smoke?!!!

    “Stand back, gentlemen.”

    Well now this is really feeling like the old Alley Oop today on the comic. I hope we see more of it.

    He’s a mean motor scooter and a bad go-getter.

    No kidding. I think Alley Oop was getting as sick and tired as the readers.

    … and Alley immediately goes for the ground-and-pound, but the Ref intervenes. He’s done it! Oop wins MMA #1!

    Alternate Alley Oop* Chapter 8 “Secret Rescue”(11) 5/26/12


    On Earth 1 the group is anxious for RAAMP, the advanced drone, to locate the auras of Alley Oop and Lola.
    While doing so Lola and Alley are back at the site of the free floating worm hole getting ready to go through while on the other side Doc, Oscar, Dexter and Lavaigne are confronted by an angry Gen. Mann and a brace of heavily armed and helmeted Military Police surround them M-16’s pointed at them.


    Panel One


    Gen. Mann-“Alright Doc you have gone too far. Of course we would detect the energy spike. That device
    uses enough power for an hour that New York city uses in a 24 hour day.” He was none to happy.
    Doc-“We are so close to getting Alley and Lola back from that nightmare world they are trapped in. Far worse
    than the places they both come from. And those places are terrifying!.”


    Panel Two


    Alley and Lola hold hands so that they will both come through. No more separations. However they hear
    a certain familiar screech whistle of the indigo hunters. Another is in the area! Their heads dart around searching
    with their eyes in reflex fashion. They have no protectors here now.


    Alley-“Ready Lola?”
    Lola-“Ready as I’ll ever be, Alley.”


    Panel Three


    Gen.Mann-“Alright Doc, no more games shut down the wormhole right now.”
    Doc-“No please the drone should be finding them momentarily.”
    Gen.Mann-“Well?” He asks Lavaigne. She shakes her head slowly and sadly.

    and back to no club in hand, making 5 straight days with no consistency in that…at least the knife is accounted for on the ground

    Larry’s Story
    Larry, did you mean to spell “laszar” the way you did? If so, then this contraption of Dr Sheldon Cooper’s is not a laser, am I correct?
    The Benders’ Story
    To repeat from yesterday – This is some improvement, but the old Alley Oop that I remember wouldn’t just kick the knife out of the guy’s hand. He’d bust him upside the head and leave him lying there with ex’s on his eyes and canaries circling around his head.

    Never male Alley angry. You’ll regret it afterwards.

    Never ever make Alley angry. You’ll really wish you hadn’t.

    Sadly, under penmanship of the Benders, Alley Oop is the poorest realized continuity comic strip still in print. How I long for this fine old strip to be revived.
