This strip is a riot. I don't know which one of the 6 boxes to choose as an avatar. I'd love to hear the conversation prior to this.
Keene - "What you're holding, is a tablet"
Karishad (perplexed) - "How do i swallow it?"
Keene - "You don't"
Karishad (concerned) - "IT GOES IN THE...."
Keene - "Not that kind of tablet! It's a small computer which was once the revolutionary answer to clunky underused libraries but has since reduced itself to a cheap I-Pad!"
Karishad - "Oh i see, question?"
Keene - "Yes"
Karishad - "Will I go blind?"
Keene - (walks away without answering)

Oh Karishad... This is why I love you. This is also the reason why I'd rather not have you live in my house... but it would be totally awesome if you live next door.
Heellooooooooo!! Anyone who wants to talk to me, please do. I get lonely sometimes and I get scared whenever I talk first...

Yep, I wondered the same thing -- I guess that's an indication we're paying attention. But obviously, this is a one-off.deepskycyan wrote:Best one-off I've seen in a while XD

Or is it?
Having worked in IT for years, I get this one a lot. It used to be, "Press Return key," and the customer would call up complaining that their keyboard didn't have one of those (alternately, the Enter key, same issue).Xane wrote:*giggles his ears off*
The laptop said "Press Escape" so Kari locked up the French coffee press before it was too late.
In its later years, the old newspaper comic Bringing Up Father (oh, look it up) by George McManus had all kinds of crazy things going on in the background -- literally. We're talking, tiny burglars making good their escape -- from a painting on the wall. Readers would eagerly follow long story arcs that could last for more than a year, interspersed with one-shot strips. Rick follows a great tradition here; some of his story arcs are recurrent and may skip months or years before returning. I suppose the 'trope' is the Brick Joke made popular in George Herriman's Krazy Kat (you can look that one up for your self). Instead of zany background antics, Karishad (amateur proctologist) and Tiger Arbelt (understudy for G*rf**ld) supply the filler silliness.

Daryl is playing Metal Gear Solid. Hence the exclamation point.

Re: 2013/08/30 - Prodding Along
D'awww Karishad is sooo adorable >3< *huggles karishad* silly foxy =P and yeah, the way in which Keene's nose beeped when kari poked it :3 and, did he touched daryl's butt? OuO anyway, it's always good to see karishad interacting with the rest of the cast, he and zach are my favorite (support?) characters.
Re: 2013/08/30 - Prodding Along
Seems to me that Karishad is still a little hopped up on sedatives from the last time he appeared in the comic.

I'm getting a bad feeling that this has something to do with Daryl owning a razor and shaving cream.
Re: 2013/08/30 - Prodding Along
I guess Keene should've taught Karishad more about electronics.
By the way, does Daryl hang out in the Milton mansion more than any of the wolves do?

This reminds me of kindergarden when you had to make instructions on how to make a pb&j sandwich and the teacher took all the instructions literally.

that wasn't the mansion, it was a strip mall down the road. If it was the mansion, it wouldn't have been a surprise when Keene was behind the war

Simply put he's trying to say that Daryl has a bare spot somewhere from shaving and that was where Karishad touched himDissension wrote:I'm not really sure what you're trying to say.Morris wrote:I'm getting a bad feeling that this has something to do with Daryl owning a razor and shaving cream.
It should be noted that we cannot be sure EXACTLY where Karishad touched him

From his reaction I'm pretty sure a good guess can be made where he poked him, having nothing to do with shaving.

If you read it top-to-bottom and then left-to-right (From ? to click-clacks to probably priceless vase to ! to steam and finally to *beep*), then it is quite clear why he was touching the steam, he was sterilizing his finger! (never-mind that he's doing that over today's lunch!)

*snorts* it wasn't his butt, it was the back of his knee! One doesn't have to bend that low to beep a wolf tush!
