2007-08-22: Picnic Failure (salt)
Delicious disaster
I do have the world end catastrophically quite often but I think this is the first time I've set the entire atmosphere on fire.
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: Rabid's picnic lunch goes awry - but only he is to blame. "If only I'd know things would turn out so unexpectedly!"
Text transcript
Rabid: If only I'd known things would turn out so unexpectedly! Rabid: Ants at a picnic is one thing -- but these innumerable SLUGS!! Rabish: And the cold chicken isn't salted and you brought no salt. Which I mention also because of the relevance to the slugs. Rabid: Well... fair enough. But I did bring some Dr Quickly Brand Salt-Flavoured Powdered Flavour Powder... in an official branded baggie!! Rabish: It says "Not for use on slugs"... <<salt!>> Rabid: I'm sure that's just something to appease the saline traditionalist lobby. [[A huge fire.]] Dr Quickly: Well it's a good thing I was down in my carefully sealed oxygenation chamber when the entire atmosphere inexplicably burned off. But this chicken I brought for lunch lacks... zest.
