2007-08-10: Grotto (snake)
Anniversary
This is comic 300. But it got derailed from the celebration into a parable about the creation of Post-It Notes.
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: Newlyweds discover a strange grotto
Text transcript
Rabid: What a beautiful place for our honeymoon! Rabish: Hoy, a strange illumination from that grotto!! Rabish: Why, it's a gigantic birthday cake!! Rabid: Neat! [[The cake is labelled "HAPPY 300TH BIRTHDAY NAME REMOVED"]] Rabid: What a stupid name! We should ruin this stupidly named person's birthday by eating their entire cake. Rabish: Come quick! It was a trap! The cake was poisoned with glue!! Dr Quickly: I'm tempted to stand by and teach you both a lesson about how cakelifting is an immoral practice akin to theft, but I'm in a generous mood and will assist you with this poisonous snake. Rabid: Sucking the glue out of my system with a snake sure saved my bacon!! Dr Quickly: You haven't any bacon, you ridiculous fool. Now leave me, as this snake is exhibiting some curious and unexpected properties upon exposure to such high levels of sticky-paste. Rabot: My workplace would be so disorganized if it weren't for Dr Quickly Brand Adhesive Vipers!!
