Weather or not!!! HA HA
This is another Summer of Keith suggestion: "An army officer is demoted for ambiguous reasons"
I like it!
It really is way too hot today. I could hardly drink my coffee.
This comic is in the following storylines:
- 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. - Summer of Keith
Good old Keith! I used his suggestions, and only his suggestions, for comics all summer long. It was a pretty nice summer.
This comic includes the contribution:
- Keith Prestwich suggested: An army officer is demoted for ambiguous reasons
Text transcript
Dr Quickly: You are hereby demoted because of, uh, reasons!! Rabid: Say WHAT?! [[Rabid puts on a disgusting mask.]] Rabid: Is it because of my sexual deviance? Dr Quickly: Nope! We are all pretty kinky here! Rabid: Is it because of my slack laziness? Dr Quickly: Nope! Laziness is a virtue! Rabid: Is it because of that time I drove a tank into your gut? Dr Quickly: Nope -- it relieved a gas! [[Rabid imagines the scene...]] Dr Quickly: UFF Rabid: Is it because it is so hot out you cannot think correctly? Dr Quickly: Quite possibly!! [[Meanwhile, my charred corpse, at my desk, trying to draw a comic, is labelled "TRUE STORY!!"]] [[In the Arctic, with the Aurora in the background.]] Dr Quickly: I now promote you to ULTRA CHIEFTAN for relocating us to a more pleasant environment. Rabid: Hurrah!
