2007-09-07: Catamaran (cyphertext)
Squeamish Ossifrage
The ghost is probably not saying anything sensible.
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 and Rabish purchase a haunted catamaran
Text transcript
Rabish: Are there any problems with the catamaran that we should know about before we buy it? Salesmonster: Uh... no? Rabid: Good thing the lake was recently blessed!! Ghost: IT BURNS!! Ghost: Ghosts, being vapourous, evaporate into weighty solids. Dr Quickly: "Dredged from the deep, a great artist carved me into the form I held in life." Carved from pure poltergranite?! It's sheer madness!! The fools!! Noel: This is the fourth time your plates have clattered messily to the floor!! Rabid: We're haunted by a boat!! Rabish: We're hungry and are not doing this on purpose!! Noel: GET OUT OF MY RESTAURANT YOU LYING SCUMS!! Rabish: What does the ghost say? How can we appease it?! Rabid: It says... it says... D OUOSVAVV M?! What the hell?!
