    Um, look, Nat, if you need a hand–or two–with that search….

    Nat does a passable Bogie.

    Oh she has concealed weapons, barely.

    I am in awe of the hard, cold, glinty looks by the girls in panel 4!

    debra4life50 said, 5 months ago

    Has anyone noticed that Oognut either has VERY high heels on or VERY high platform shoes, or is HOVERING in the grass? It’s well above the ankles of the other 3, but her shoes are very much in the picture.

    mjolnir 9 said, 5 months ago

    Oognat is about to be frisked.
    I sense a fascinating cosmic convergence here that I’ll explain…later…when I return with snacks.

    Sorry for the delay and all that but the world beyond Reality (which some call the RL) momentarily requires my presence elsewhere…

  8. Sisyphos

    Sisyphos said, 5 months ago

    I think she’s on her toes, debra4life50; or maybe it’s the curvature of the earth (in extreme perspective)….

  9. Saskfan

    Saskfan said, 5 months ago

    I seriously don’t expect her to be concealing much of anything, my boy.

    Oh, the disdain in Dinah/Dru’s eyes! Brilliant, Mr. McE!! A really nice bit of art.

    Of course! Thank you for jogging what’s left of my memory.

    And thanks to fear-ciuil for posting the link!

    Hmm, judging from the sketch, I’d say our newest suspect is standing on a hill.

    So this is: cover me while I uncover her?

    Oh, they’ll cover you, Nat. Just remember: they have guns.

    ‘Course, with a skin-tight, skimpy outfit like that, there’s not a lot of places to hide anything.

    Has anyone noticed that he’s about to turn his back on two armed women who are also a pair of the biggest “green-eyed monsters” who ever lived? He better behave himself.

    Brooke’s artistry only improves. Stunning work.

    However, I don’t really wanna see any more humma, hummous or humdingers, you know?

    sarge112751 said, 5 months ago

    Makes me wonder … _IF_ she’s ‘packing heat’ - would she be guilty of “assault with a FRIENDLY weapon”? ???? (Inquiring minds just GOTS-TA know!)

    This is getting weird, fun Weird, but weird.

    Buster seems to be the only one with a memory. The girls blanked out with only seconds of a memory whom they used to be.

    Now you have that Smog Thing that attacked Oognat and threw her into what all tends and purposes looks like Goff’s dream but isn’t. Making them think their some other people.

    Whatever Smog thing is, its certainly the samething one who thru Dru and now Oognat to NYC’s volcano and dreamland.

    Suspection is that its aspect of Goff’s mind, it certainly had his eyes.

    Anyways, Buster gets all the entertainment and Goff left holding frozen pop that used to be Pib!

    Will Nat use his search engine
    to look for weapons of Miss destruction?

  29. BikeNBoatN

    BikeNBoatNGenius_badge said, 5 months ago

    Oognat’s dress seems to be a lot longer than her usual outfits seen previously. Her little red dress in Mozart barely covered her assets. Compared to that one, this one is downright modest.

  30. Fluffy67

    Fluffy67 said, 5 months ago

    Everything that Nat wants seems to appear. He needed a wll to lean on, and a wall appeared. He said the only thing missing was another dame, and Ognat was immediately cast in that role. Seems to me that everything is working out in his favor here.

  31. bmonk

    bmonkGenius_badge said, 5 months ago

    A note before I’m off for the day: I noticed that Oognat seems to be rising above the situation: her shoes are visible where the others are covered at least to mid-calf, and her hips are level with the others heads. What’s up (besides Oognat, that is)?

  32. DeathDealer

    DeathDealerGenius_badge said, 5 months ago

    I think Nat’s up…. for the search. What’s Oognat’s reaction going to be?

  33. DeathDealer

    DeathDealerGenius_badge said, 5 months ago

    Lamar’s doughnuts this morning… a KC landmark.

    Moe A. said, 5 months ago

    SirMirom I completely agree.
    Pib and Dru’s expressions in Panels 2 and 4 are priceless.
    And why does poor Oognat always end up being so victimized…. dismemberment (Men in Black), bondage prisoner (MSND), and now projectile-ized. (if Webster will forgive me).
    But seriously folks, I had an uncle who worked as a human cannonball… but he got fired last week.
    Sorry.

    She’s got no weapons but the powerful ones she came with…

    And Wolf, THEY are oft-times the MOST dangerous!!! [Just ask any married man how he got that way.]

  37. marchman

    marchman said, 5 months ago

    Very HIGH heels, and stillettos at that, are what I think Oognat is wearing. Very much in the taxi dancer tradition. Any search now is only for weapons of mass distraction.

  38. marchman

    marchman said, 5 months ago

    Oh and I love the line..spread you legs..followed by the girls response of feet. As I said weapons of mass distraction. Poor Nat :-)

    Many Many Moons Ago - someone here recommended the webcomic Two Lumps, and I have been captive ever since. Today’s has me weezing, gasping for air, nearly spit out my orange juice. Maybe my sense of humor is sicker than most but - - well - - you tell me

    hahahaah, gg! I don’t know if I was the one to recommend it or whether we both followed someone else, but Two Lumps is definitely a very funny strip.

    9cl–I don’t get the Nebraska reference but the list otherwise is hilarious!

  41. atajayhawk

    atajayhawk said, 5 months ago

    Um, yes. Nebraska.

    Well, I have to admit that, after my first thought of, “The Nebraskans aren’t going to appreciate that!”, my second was to be thankful that he didn’t say “Kansas”! (We Kansans get a little tired of putdowns by people who have never even been here.)

    I suspect Mr McEldowney is using Nebraska as a variation on John D. MacDonald’s, “One of those dreary mid-western states that starts with a vowel.” And the three syllables have a nice rhythm.

    From the musical, South Pacific:

    There is nothing like a dame. Nothing in the world. There is nothing you can name that is anything like a dame.

    But in this case, it’s:

    There is nothing like a L’apache Danseur/Hair Fairy.

    kcboomerGenius_badge said, 5 months ago

    From what little we are shown Oognat looks hotter than the volcano from earlier strips.

  44. maeverin

    holy slit, Batman!

    maybe Dru, Pib, and Nat are standing in a depression, or they are sinking into the next dreamscape.

    hey, let’s find out if Oognat is ticklish!

    bmonkGenius_badge said, 5 months ago

    @atajayhawk, does that mean I can make fun of Kansas? After all, I was born there, and have spent almost a year of my whole life in it. ;-)

  46. Joe Minotaur

    Joe Minotaur said, 5 months ago

    bmonk
    Does that mean you’re, “…not in Kansas anymore.”

  47. bmonk

    bmonkGenius_badge said, 5 months ago

    Sure. I was born in Kansas at a very young age to poor but humble parents, took a look around at the lovely foliage, and told them, “This sure doesn’t look like Oz.” We left after seven months.

    Oh, the disdain in Dinah/Dru’s eyes! Brilliant, Mr. McE!! A really nice bit of art.

    Tennessee, Pib didn’t look all so convinced, either. Maybe this is Nat’s dream. If so, I’m sure it is with help from the Smoke thingie. I’m as lost as anyone, but in some sort of cockeyed dream sequence way, it’s making sense.

    The two girls correction of Nat’s diction was priceless. As was his acquiescence. But after all, birds gotta fly, bees gotta buzz, and Private I’s gotta investigate privates, right? I mean privately investigate! Never mind…
