All your base are belong to us is a popular Internet meme based on a badly translated phrase from the opening cutscene of the video game Zero Wing. The phrase first appeared on the European release of the 1991 Sega Mega Drive port of the 1989 Japanese arcade game.. By the early 2000s, a GIF animation depicting the opening text was widespread on the Something Awful message forums (absolutely a gem of a strip for posterity)
Zero Wing, btw, was a better than average game. Think “Scramble” on steroids. It’s too bad that Williams’ crappy/lazy/whatever localization for the European market have kind of washed that part away.
All your base, all your base, all your base are belong to us! The video on youtube is fun to watch if you can’t abide playing the horrible translation. Re: Oh no! They have uploaded us the bomb!

Two reasons Jason has not been featured on PBS: he’s not British and he’s not boring.

This is a snapshot of a moment in time.
Jason would probably love the fact that it makes less sense to readers 21 years later, than it did then.

The problem wasn’t that “Mystery” never picked up on Jason. The problem was that Jason was born way too late for a role in Tod Browning’s “Freaks”.
