2009-10-28: IKEA Ancestors (Lengijarn Mestrbein)
A most terrible fate
When resurrected into the body of a distant ancestor, it's always a good idea to pig out at a bistro. You can skip the horse meat I guess if you feel that way but are you really going to have that dried-out demi poulet à l'estragon instead?
There is a "bonus comic" to read about the kitchen staff behind the scenes of today's comic if you vote at Top Web Comics.
This comic is in the storyline:
- 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.
This comic includes the contribution:
- JLJ suggested: Rabish and Rabid are at IKEA shopping furniture(big step in relationship?) when Rabid discovers furniture made of the fossilated bones of his nordic ancestors.
