That last panel closeup of Dr. Rocket is just so haunting. Well played, Marc. Well played. Lots to chew on with this strip. Have at it.
In other news… I just posted a new blog on my blogging site entitled “Sex vs. Violence.” I’m sure I’m asking for it with this one, but feel free to find out for yourself.
Oh, just swell.
Trust the immature, narcissistic, insecure, short-sighted boy-man with the Ultimate Power of creation and destruction for the planet.
Oh, yeah.
This will end well.
You know SuperFogeys! Always a happy ending!
Drat! So now Dr. Klein/Jerry/The Third Man/any hitherto unannounced personas has leverage against Dr. Rocket. He’s not going to go down as easily as thought.
They never do.
@gnrrrg — I figured Jerry would take this as a proper warning, but now that I think about it, since we know tragedy is coming …
Of course, we all know that power crystal WILL leave the box, somehow. I wonder if this is what Speedy has been popping through time to try and warn everyone about…
I agree with you, Brock; Marc nailed Dr Rocket perfectly, although I have to admit my favourite panel was “they’ve found me”.
That’s a good one as well.
The power crystal factors into this whole storyline in a big way. Is what Future Swifty is warning everyone about? You’ll know soon. We’re getting very, VERY close to that moment in time.
Umm, y’know this one’s actually probably not really Jerry’s fault. Dr Klein’s the one who used the all-powerful crystal in his robot (massive overkill that. Almost makes one wonder if Dr Rocket were playing a long game of some sort…)
