[ The Crunchatorium ]

Title Text: instantly feel like you've been romping in a ball pit for three hours while being pelted with medicine balls

Now that's a massage!

The Stretch Armstrong massage. The most preferred massage in heaven.

Post by **Dissension** » Wed Apr 20, 2016 12:03 am

I'd kill for a massage that great.

Post by **D-Rock** » Wed Apr 20, 2016 12:04 am

I winced at all of that.

So Keene .. tell me, are you feeling like you´re in paradise ?

Cause you are

I didn't know ferrets were made of rubber.

Douglas Collier · Post by **Douglas Collier** » Wed Apr 20, 2016 12:12 am

Wow, now that's a massage!
It must have felt - heavenly.

SuperStar · Post by **SuperStar** » Wed Apr 20, 2016 12:18 am

Sooooooo, was the wallpaper a pic of a ferret twisted around, or maybe two ferrets being tied together like a pretzel? xD

Welsh Halfwit · Post by **Welsh Halfwit** » Wed Apr 20, 2016 12:20 am

Other extending toys are available
but why? They're not Stretch Armstrong.
After all, it's never been Basketball
you think of when you hear 'Go long!'
Keene's become his own slinky;
twisted over, around and around.
Crushed down, snapped and pinned
stuck, face first, to the ground.
What will Breel say in response?
Will Keene hear he cannot leave?
Will he understand the implications?
Will he allow some time to grieve?

Iceheart · Post by **Iceheart** » Wed Apr 20, 2016 12:28 am

2 things,

1: Sorry Keene, you can't exactly "live" anywhere anymore.

2: Wouldn't the infinite paradise of Heaven make it so that back issues do not exist and therefor defeat the need of a massues?

And here I was thinking the last strip was leading to a cuddle session. If there is one thing Rick is not it's predictable.

IdleCurator · Post by **IdleCurator** » Wed Apr 20, 2016 12:58 am

Forced massages with comically large rolling pins. Keene will have quite the story to tell.

I don't know much about the subject of heaven or it's affiliated massage businesses, but I'm pretty sure killing someone wont send ya there.

Looks like it's gonna take a lot more willpower for Keene to want to leave now.

Macsen · Post by **Macsen** » Wed Apr 20, 2016 4:22 am

If he wasn't dead before, he is now.

AmberTheWolfKit · Post by **AmberTheWolfKit** » Wed Apr 20, 2016 5:02 am

Welp, looks like I need to make myself a mustelid somehow, that massage looked amazingly stress relieving!

Argent · Post by **Argent** » Wed Apr 20, 2016 5:58 am

OTTER!

I'm still holding out for Keene not actually being dead. That would have repercussions.

Plus Cerberus would have explained things to him on the way.

Did they get theses masseuses from Toon Town?

That's my thoughts too. He hasn't really shown to pass away of age or anything, and his involvement with Pete would definitely get him a ticket now that somethings still need too be cleaned up.

Keene must have rubber bones to be that stretchy

Either that, or heaven employs cartoon physics

I want a massage like that ;-;

Adoring Fan · Post by **Adoring Fan** » Wed Apr 20, 2016 8:44 am

Well, that just made 90% of all our posts from Tuesday irrelevant

Darn you rick! Stop toying with our heads! How is it that noone realized that the tangles Slinky picture was in reference to a massage!? they are even in a massage parlor! I suddenly feel really dumb... Still i think this defiantly resolves the PG Vs PG-13 debate. With the new context that strip was closer to G than anything!

I actually really like Rick Griffins Pseudo-Cartoon method of drawing.. Its useful to display motion and action but not so cartoon like that it feels like an episode of Spongebob. The people are plastic only in the seance of "I am showing you that they are being pulled and manipulated" but not to the extent of "I drop an anvil on you and you survive unharmed but come out as a pancake". Its actually a nice way to convey motion.

Wolf of Trades · Post by **Wolf of Trades** » Wed Apr 20, 2016 9:13 am

and then keene gets the happy ending

aka a free slinkie

Frank · Post by **Frank** » Wed Apr 20, 2016 9:45 am

I want to see a functioning medicine-ball ballpit now (functioning, because someone is going to have to science those medicine balls until you can sink in them)

IceKitsune · Post by **IceKitsune** » Wed Apr 20, 2016 10:46 am

I'm not sure if that looked super painful or super fun. Keene enjoyed it which ever it was.

Tola · Post by **Tola** » Wed Apr 20, 2016 11:06 am

The fact he 'survived' that is telling me he's already left his body behind, but hopefully that just means near-death experience instead of actual death. I cannot imagine it being enjoyable-if it wasn't painful it would still be vertigo-inducing. But I've never claimed to be a mustelid, so...

valerio · Post by **valerio** » Wed Apr 20, 2016 11:55 am

Never enough of sweet massage

GameCobra · Post by **GameCobra** » Wed Apr 20, 2016 11:57 am

I would guess pain doesn't exist in heaven, which Keene hasn't figured out yet. :3

Cesco · Post by **Cesco** » Wed Apr 20, 2016 1:14 pm

Good, you got a free massage, Keene, and there's always some time for one.

But, wow, you all there call that a massage?

But especially, are you made of rubber, Keene?

Now I see what Breel meant with the tangled slinkies...

The rolling pin is the top.

I see you're paining, but your wish is weird.

So, you have to do 4 Earth time months of such massages? Escape from that building, now!

Rikunda · Post by **Rikunda** » Wed Apr 20, 2016 3:08 pm

Wonder if he can be treated like that when not in a magic realm of death or gods.

Just post something in the "Attack the above poster" thread and you will recieve a nice massage

If you don't believe me, there is an example.

My thoughts exactly. That Mana he's been holding on to might be the loose end that Kit and Cerb are looking to tie up to vanish any trace of the game.

Wolfbane · Post by **Wolfbane** » Wed Apr 20, 2016 7:25 pm

Welp, if he wasn't dead yet, he's dead now for sure.

dryideabat · Post by **dryideabat** » Wed Apr 20, 2016 9:46 pm

Yep, the best way to iron-out all of those years of tension building in his back.

Do you think that one of the people Keene will meet in there will be Mr Milton ? My bet is that yes

But the name of arc is "The 4 Animals You Meet In Heaven". Mr Milton is not an animal.

Excellent point, I did not recalled that.

I feel like everybody's forgotten that Karishad gave it to Tarot to send Satau home.

I thought so, too, but there was a massive gap of time between the last time we saw Keene's mana egg (where it was undoubtedly Keene's) and Karishad giving the mana he had to Tarot. Knowing how Karishad and this universe interact, he very well may have just found a mana egg lying about.

Post by **D-Rock** » Thu Apr 21, 2016 1:43 am

Or Keene's scientists figured out how to manufacture their own mana.

...that's all sorts of funny to think about, really.

If you wanted to really play the semantics game, humans are technically animals.

But yeah, the title probably does not refer to meeting Mr. Milton, though that is something that could be pretty touching and something I'd like to see.

Rule of funny says it's the same mana.
