2006-11-17: Hot In Here (Bluth, 1997)
WHAT
Dr Quickly thought it would be fun to put on a play of his favourite movie (?!).
There's a little subtle Hungarian traditional music humour in that last panel for you guys.
This comic is in the storyline:
- Variations
A long-running series, maybe the crux of the site. Reader submits a suggestion, and I draw three comics based on that suggestion. Originally all three had to start the same, but it evolved.
Text transcript
Rabid: HOW is it so HOT in here?! Rabish: Bleargh! Rabish: Oh no! The palace is on fire!! Rabid: The ANTI-SOCIALISTS did it, just to be jerks! We must FLEE!! <<hubbub hubbub>> Dr Quickly: Eh? It seems the Royal Family all perished -- save the young princess who fled the fledgling "So-What-viet Union"... Noel Mauvais: Is this where I'm supposed to shew up and say something sinister? Dr Quickly: Rasputin! You sly dog, you! Noel Mauvais: What? <<pop!>> Noel Mauvais: Anastasia! Return to your rightful place as Queen! Or Tsarina! The Antisocialists have all gone back to their bedrooms to sulk, and the empire is yours!! Rabish: So are you supposed to be Rasputin or the Dowager Empress? Dr Quickly: Well, Wikipedia says "Meanwhile, Bartok (having left Rasputin during the Final Showdown), happy to see Anastasia and Dimitri together, does a little jig." Rabot: But jigs are Irish. Shouldn't I dance an ugros?
