   Or are we talking Harry Potter style rifts?? At first all I could think of was the bigger-as-better please-dont-worry cyclotron in, I think, Germany. But maybe TOBY thinks he can have fun running into an alternate universe.?

   It’s in Switzerland, it’s an accelerator, not a cyclotron and it’s not going to destroy the planet.

   Hey, COMIC MAN, Cory Pandolph: I thot of Rudy Park first, because Sadie is right! It would be a lot of work for me to show this to Sadie, and TOBY can use the information just as well. It will definately, hm.. TOBY.., hmm, hopefully bring him to appreciate us humans more. Pleezze check this out:

   runar: Thank you. I stand corrected. Switzerland. And now, having wiped the egg of my face, it is probable that I will also remember that it is an accelerator.
   At dictionary.com, it looks like a cyclotron is always an accelerator, but not all accelerators are cyclotrons:

   Accelerator: Also called atom smasher, particle accelerator.

   Physics. an electrostatic or electromagnetic device, as a cyclotron, that produces high-energy particles and focuses them on a target.

   Physics A particle accelerator

   Cyclotron: an accelerator in which particles are propelled in spiral paths by the use of a constant magnetic field.

   CoronellaKeiper, I’m not a stupid person, have a decent IQ even. But, after reading what you wrote about Accelerators and Cyclotrons, my brain is bleeding. You got all that from one lil’ ole Toby strip…wow! You rule!

   HerGrammie: Thanks, but I donot deserve it. Sometimes I news.google, and if the news that comes up seems fishy, I’ll trace it by putting in the main words. Loads of spin can be straightened out, it just takes time. But if I really want to be up on what is happening and the news media (sic) isnot covering it enough to get it onto news.google front pages, so how can I find out about it?
   I read the comics (hearts and flowers)and often real newsy stuff is right here in the comics. If I wonder why in heaven earth or hell a comic strip artist brought up some element or subject on their strip, usually I can use their comic insights to find the super big issue in the news. Maybe I’ll use some words they use, and if news.google wont cough up the truth, then staight googling and including the date can bring up bloggers good stuff. Then, maybe two weeks later, the news media (sic) decides to cover the topic in the first pages, because the public is catching on with or without the so called news media helping. Comic strips; blogs; birds of the sky coming down and whispering in your ear,.. well, that last one probably doesnot happen very often, even if the bible does talk about it. Anyway at all. That the news media follows us the public is loverly, just loverly. Now, to train ourselves to only go where the news media should follow. :-D
   … but we are already doing that, by the grace of God…
   :-D :-D

   Maybe someone could build a time machine and get this strip updating again.

    Good idea. Time to help the writer of the machine we love to.. hm. storylines. OK:

    A. Surrely gooodness aand merrcy shall fo-o-olow..TOBY. Who hates it. It is getting under his skin. Even the attemps, to do some real pranks in order to keep machine-life interesting, are all botched up by some mastermind moving stupid individuals the way a small wind moves butterfly wings. B. Who is in back of this obvious plot, he/it wonders; who is out to.. .. him?
    A. TOBY decides to become a superlative cook, because he has observed that an astounding percentage of people think with their taste buds and stomachs; so obviously the way to get into a position to order them all around is to cook well, right? B. And THEN, when out at a restaurant with his new (heh-heh) friends, and the roommate, of course is included in the party, he meets the waiter from hell! Whoa, a waiter position really has control of the taste bud and stomach buttons. Whoo-whoo!

    I’m exhausted. Now its someone elses turn. :-D
