Distances
So Dr Quickly messed up converting leagues to kilometres: he accidentally converted to decimetres instead. And instead of ending up in Milton, or Ajax, Rabid ended up on the Moon.
Also, the last panel? The judge is totally lying.
This comic is in the storyline:
- Variations

This comic includes the contribution:
- Sceya suggested: Something about DANGEROUS SHOES
Text transcript
Dr Quickly: Seven league boots! An artifact of folk mythology given true existence by my engineering ingenuity!! Try 'em out!! Rabid: Seven leagues... so I should end up in, like, Milton? Dr Quickly: That sounds about right. Be sure to lace them up tight!! <<BOIL!>> Dr Quickly: I must have made a mistake in my calculations! It was an accident!! Copmonster: Save it for the judge, buddy. Dr Quickly: I must have made a mistake in my calculations! It was an accident!! Ultrarobojudge: YOU BUILT ME TO BE THE PERFECT JUDGE... SO THERE IS NO IRONY THAT YOU NOW FACE ME AS A VERY GUILTY MURDERER BECAUSE I HAVE NO BIAS. Dr Quickly: I put the agreed-upon large amount of cash in your bag here. Ultrarobojudge: I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHO YOU ARE... Dr Quickly: Okay, well, thanks.
