2005-07-22: Tenser said the tensor / Meanwhile, in outer space...
Violence and concerns about violence
Ick! Brains everywhere. But mostly I'm worried that I've somehow swiped a punchline from Maakies... Meanwhile, in outer space, a misunderstanding leads to a burned mouth. I wonder if astronaut coffee tastes as incredibly bad as astronaut french fries, which once caused me to throw up on the T, returning from the science museum in Boston.
This comic is in the storyline:
- Old Comics
The site started with "cleaned up" comics from my old sketchbooks, which go back almost fifteen years. Eventually I ran out and had to come up with new things! That was a terrifying moment.
Text transcript
{{title text: Tenser said the tensor}}
[[Rabid waves his hands in agitation as Dr Quickly holds a gun to his head and closes his eyes.]]
Rabid: Oh my goodness, Doctor! What are you doing?
Dr Quickly: I have a most dreadfully annoying tune stuck in my head!!
Rabid: Killing yourself isn't the ans-- ACK!
<<BLAM!>>
[[Gore spouts from Dr Quickly's head.]]
Dr Quickly: I THINK IT WORKED!! LOOK INSIDE!!
[[An anthropomorphic musical note lies dead inside Dr Quickly's head.]]
Rabid: Oh! Yes, you got the tune point blank!
Dr Quickly: Hfff... hfff...
{{title text: Meanwhile, in outer space...}}
[[A magnificent space vista, the fires of a strange green sun, the swirl of a galaxy, and the rings of an alien planet. Inside a space ship, through the bubble-like windows, we see Rabish and Rabid.]]
Rabid: Instant 'space' coffee? But I like to drink my coffee SLOWLY!
Rabish: Silly boy! Why do you think we astronauts have been trained so rigorously to hold our breath so indefinitely long?
Rabid: Ohhhh...
Rabish: You drink it in an 'instant' but hold it in your mouth to savour as long as you like!
[[Rabid tries her suggestion...]]
<<SCALD!>>
