    I’m not betting money of Inky letting Dru go.

    Roger is going to need help, is Satori behind the knight?

    Need sleep.

    A domani!

    Look behind you, Roger!
     
    Oh, my aching head. But at least we’re making progress. What an amazingly convoluted episode this has been…

    Frida Bonita said, about 1 year ago

    Great boilerplate Fearciuil!

    If this is all happening in real time then Spit is? He’s Ink and the knight? He’s at the keyboard in his lab controlling Ink and the Knight.

    Roger is the knight and is going to see himself?

    More snot…..

    Night and Fairport once again, so happy for you and your family.

    Hopefully next week we’ll get the background on the shot with Lena, the Knight, Spitcock and the Birds…
     
    Night Frida.

    (do you ever get annoyed by people who watch a TV or movie, then start talking to the characters, telling them what to do, warning them of impending doom, “Look out! The villain’s hiding behind that tree!”, and stuff like that, knowing full well that the characters on the screen can not possibly hear what they’re saying?
     

    LOOK OUT BEHIND YOU, ROGER!!

    desertdwlr - there are a few Southwesterners among us (I’m from CO), which is what piqued my curiosity. :-)
     
    Frida and margueritem, thanks!

    Yup. Theories in Pibgorn are like theories in quantum physics… all made up by a bunch of p-branes… ;^)

    Maybe, just maybe, Inky is going to cut her loose so he can
    get ‘physically’ physical, rather than digitally.

    That’s another of these “BUGS” of which you speak, is it not? ::end wiseass::
     
    I noticed that the other day, too–a few comments, at the “beginning” of the posting “day,” end up posted out-of-order in the new format. ::shrug::

    Not if the time-travel/alternate-universe theory is true!
     
    You know, you go back in time and meet your younger self? And you don’t remember meeting your older self because when you went back you split into an alternate universe?

    Okay, so the placement of the hoe (radii) sets the point in time that Roger entered the game? And now he is too early to see Lena?

    Dru is looking somewhat transparent. I don’t remember seeing that before.

    ccdesan – irt: “p-branes” –
     
    Somehow I think you’re making a pun that only physicists will get. But since I’m not a physicist, I’m uncertain – and I’m not even Heisenberg –

    It’s either that or cosmic rays – I always like to blame cosmic rays coz most people will just nod their heads and pretend they understand what I’m talking about –

    snot is a 4 letter word, you might use phlegm or nasal discharge instead.

    desertdwlr - Colorado’s ski season is taking its sweet time this year; it’s been too warm this week to keep snow on the ground. Even at altitude. The news showed a shot of one of the ski resorts tonight. Not a lot of white on those runs yet!

    There were 32 posts when I started this. There may be 42 when I finish.
    For those who didn’t see it earlier tonight: Joe Minotaur #15 has been posted. Follow the link on the 3rd post by our own fearciuil.

    Don’t be snotty? (all in jest). Besides the pun doesn’t work otherwise.

    In panel 3, Roger looks like one of those comic strip gurus who float above the ground.

    I’m on my son-in-law’s computer. I drove Helen to her appointment this morning. She said they took ten vials of blood for testing. (I have a major needle phobis - i’d likely be hysterical by the time they finished that with me…)
     
    They said that the most likely cause of her low platelets was a vitamin deficiency, and that if so, a supplement ought to do the trick.
     
    The other main possibility they mentioned was a mild auto-immune problem, and, if that turned out to be the case, they really didn’t think it would be any problem.
     
    Almost-three Maggie was happy to see Kate and myself; almost-one Natalie took one look at me and started bawling and hid behind her mommy…
     
    Some small children think i’m wonderfully funny, some are terrified of me.

    Anyone think there is significance in the perceived time of day in the first three panels? Roger seemed to arrive in late sunset’s gloaming, continue to call for Lena in the dark of night, and then sit and wait in long-shadowed dawn. Implied time passage? Temporal oddity of the game world? I suspect Lena will tumble in between the knight and Roger at the last moment, and together they’ll elude or defeat him. But that visor STILL might lift and reveal… Roger the elder!

    Gweedo Murray, fearciuil, Frida Bonita - thanks for the b’day wishes - it was A Very Good Year, and I have no doubt next year will be even better! Too late to bring birthday cake to the Neverending Couch? Fairportfan, you get a frosting rose for your great news!

    Long lurking, first timid venture to post: so
    Roger is inserted just before the enigmatic
    strip of 12/21/07. Will this explain the
    erupting palace?
    –just need a tiny corner on the Confusion
    Couch….

    Frida Bonita said, about 1 year ago

    I’m back!

    While taking a very hot shower to try and clear my head I thought of what is Roger is too late?

    Beads & Cat, yes, what about the color? It sorta looks like the game just reset. AND PLEASE, cake is always welcome : ).

    Is Ink & Dru happening simultaneously with Roger and knight?

    Donde esta Spitcock?

    Can he be both knight and Ink?

    Dru looks as she is being brought back to reality, is that what’s changing the color of the game; power shutting down?

    Okay, this time I am going to slumber land.

    Thanks for all the bed time wishes and snotty comments, you guys are the best!

    Welcome Sisyphos. Lots of room on the ever expanding comfy confusion couch.
