    I’m reminded of those irradiated-monster movies from the ‘50’s and ‘60’s–my dad loves ‘em.

    Yeah. It really does look as if Inky has had implants or something.

    Ok, I got in at 10:18Pm Pacific Time.
     
    What, does this mean the demon blast turned our favorite disease carrier into a Godzilla disease carrier?
     
    How much you wanna bet the New Yorkers don’t even notice?

    Well, I can imagine the story the in-Pib-world press would write:

    “Yesterday, a 37 lbs fly was spotted by a Salvation Army officer. Today, a 37,000 lbs fly was spotted by everybody else. Is this part of a new trend? Is somebody mutating flies so that they never stop growing? Is it a threat? Tune in to the 11 o’clock news when our experts from Raid, Inc. will be discussing details on the new appearance”

    ccdesan: I respond with a thoroughly Edda-style evil grin.

    Personally, I’m imagining a certain amount of screaming and fainting inside the building Luciano’s leaning against.

    what kind of garbage is Luc going to stir up once he gets airborne? Can he get airborne?

  17. UncaAlby

    UncaAlby said, about 1 year ago

    I’m thinking more like, “Honey, why didn’t you take out the garbage?”
    “Well, dear, there’s this 37 million pound housefly blocking the door.”
    “OH YOU’RE ALWAYS WITH THE LAME EXCUSES!! Mother was right, I should have married that nice doctor!”

  18. fear-ciuil

    fear-ciuil said, about 1 year ago

    I would imagine that Luciano can still fly–as has been pointed out, he’s a Fey creature. Still, I’m glad I’m on this side of the minotaur if he’s going to lift off.

    I work for the Sally Anne, and I’m getting a big kick out of the hat! I just love that it is so prominently featured. I hope we haven’t seen the last of it.

    say good night UncaAlby…..
     
    Ooooooh no, not that one!
     
    You’re expecting me to say, “Good night UncaAlby”, right? RIGHT?
     
    Well I won’t do it, y’hear? I won’t! You can’t make me!
     
     
    Excuse us, folks, sorry to intrude. We just need to get this – oof! – gentleman back to his – ouch! – back to his bed so we can get him back on his – urg! – back on his medications. He won’t be – get his arm! his arm! his OTHER arm! – he won’t be bothering you any more.

    Behold my glistening “Pro” icon. The 47 crazed badgers I was keeping in my mushroom cellar went on a rampage and demanded a regular dose of Red Meat in addition to their meagre rations of snake… there was only one thing to do.

    “I’ve seen things…”

    @UncaAlby: If they put me on the stand, I’d swear in a court of law that you were just another avatar of someone I know in other fora. There couldn’t possibly be more than two such twisted minds in the universe. Oh. Well, three… XP

    Yeah. “I hate…” is a little snappier than “Stupid…”; OTOH, i’m reminded of Jeef Smith’s “Bone”, with its recurring “Stupid stupid rat creatures!”
     
    A friend who insists her cat has less brains than any other living creature known to mankind (including some microbes) had a button made that said “Stupid stupid car creature!”

    Totally safe for work, but have a fork ready for your eyeballs.

    And good luck getting that out of your head for the next lifetime or so.

    Speaking of 9CL - i haven’t seen Edda that croggled-looking since the ballet audition sequence - and there was a piano involved then, too.

  29. The Old Wolf

    The Old WolfGenius_badge said, about 1 year ago

    At some point in that storyline, Amos and Edda have to get legal and lawful. My goodness, the amount of Catholically-repressed passion that both of them are carrying around brings to mind the following snippet from the Ghostbusters screenplay:

    *THE STORAGE FACILITY

    A strange light starts to leak through the cracks between the concrete blocks. Suddenly one of the blocks is blown across the room.

    EXT. THE FIREHALL

    Everyone comes running out as the storage facility explodes. A powerful geyser of irridescent energy shoots out the top of the building like a phenomenal Roman Candle reaching a hundred feet in the air.*

    You want to get them back on topic, uncalby? Notice it’s twilight outside. Last time we saw a sky, it was within the Suzerain world, and it, too, was twilight. Does this mean time is passing at the same rate in the “real” world and in Suzerain?

    Also, a while ago it was suggested Inky was a computer daemon. How is that better than a computer virus?

    Not likely, considering the Suzerain world will return to Noon (“reset”) any time Dru discharges her magical plasma blasts.
     
    We can at least say with some certainty that New York doesn’t reset to Noon whenever Inky discharges a magical plasma blast!
     
    Altho – since we can’t be 100% certain – (“the house is white on this side, boss”) – mayhaps New York has been reset to Noon – and it just so happens Luciano was blasted all the way to Chicago –

    After logging on to “My Comics” I just click on the comic (after I have safely stored it on my computer) and all comments show up.

    It’s the Dynamic Dipteran. He’s big enough now to swallow whole sanitary landfills in a single gulp.

    Speaking of critters, they took Hamster Blast down from the net! No shooting the singing hamsters. AAAAGH!

    Eh, Amos and Edda have it easy. Imagine saving yourself for marriage and not getting married…

    AliKzam said, about 1 year ago

    Wow. Clearly, Inky doesn’t really know how to control his own power.
    It’s going to be difficult for Luciano to get in the game, now. Could this mean Inky won’t be returning? Will Luciano shrink back to his normal (for us) size, and if so, how?
    And now, Inky and Dru both have something in common.
    “Well, once I enlarged a housefly…”
    “You’re kidding! I did the exact same thing!”
    And now, I bid you all good night, or good morning, depending on your time zone.

    Okay, so um… Inky was unable to hit Luciano when he could see, but then got him first time once has had a hat jammed on his head. ‘Blind luck’…?

    crawls out from underneath the towering pile of badgers, mushrooms, snakes, hamsters, worms, llamas, ducks and goodness knows what else, sees his shadow – and crawls back inside for another six weeks of … winter?

    Which is an odd occurrence, seeing as it is overcast and rainy today. You’d be hard put to find a single speck of shadow anywhere at all.

    Back on topic: What kind of monitor upgrade will now be required in order to squeeze Luciano into Suzerain with the others?

    Ray CGenius_badge said, about 1 year ago

    Frida…my preternatural reasoning skills reason that you have edited your first post today. Shame to deprive the rest of us of a chance to tease you some more.
    So…by putting the SA hat on Inky, Luciano has gotten to the backside of Inky’s emissions (sounds naughty) and actually absorbed them and used them to increase his size. There would not be enough energy to create that much mass (unless E = Mc^2 is different in this universe), so he must have used the energy to convert air and maybe the earth where he landed into fly material.
    Wow! I learned about science from reading comics, and here’s just another great example.

    I do hope this doesn’t represent the “green” replacement for landfills.
