And, um… crap. I just realized. Did I actually forget to post Wednesday’s strip? I know I’ve been in transition back to Albuquerque from South America, but really, that’s surprising. Or I’m surprised. I mean, a handful of times in my career online I’ve posted “hey, I didn’t get it done, sorry,” but this might be the first time I’ve ever just fully forgotten. Hrm. Um. Anyhow. Transitions hopefully. Sorry. Eeek! :-/

Looking at Audri, Thoos said, “You’re drunk, and in my body.” Audri replied, “Yoush look f’milyer. Dosh I know yew?” Pointing at the first-aid bot dressed as a butler with no pants, Knox said, “Gah! Little butler man! With no pants!” The first-aid bot dressed as a butler with no pants said, “I’m a first-aid bot forcibly costumed in the body of a little human butler man. And yes, ahem, with no pants!” Grinning, Rodrigo said, “I’m loving these gals already.” With an “alley-oop,” Knox and Thoos moved Val onto a floating stretcher. With both Audri and Val on floating stretchers, they made their way back to their ships. Audri was yelling, “Gerrrrrekkkk!” Rodrigo said, “Yes, we were going to ask you about him. And about the entire homeless population of Clentity.” Audri yelled, “They went intahhh zee haht starrrrrrr! Murrrrderrrrred!” Shocked, Picknar said, “Holy shit. What?!” Rodrigo commented, “Remind me to never visit Clentity again.”

Wait until you hear what else they’ve been doing in your bodies.

“And we thought THOOS was entitled.”
“HEY!!!”
.
“That dong is distracting.”
“The bells’ or the butler’s?”
Yes…
Th’ best-laid plans o’ mice an’ men gang aft agley. It happens. Hope your transition back was smooth and produced no other rough shakes, Christopher. Speaking of transitions… I can’t yet figure out which of the four is going to have the hardest time a) Accepting the alien body now sprawled/standing in front of them, b) Deciding how best to switch back even if they can get their hands on the transfer device and c) Where such re-transference needs to take place. This was, after all, an interstellar disjointing. Does the distance have to be replicated? How’d it happen in the first place, anyway?? Where’s the doc???
Thank you, Pete! And yeah, I’m finding the playing out of it interesting, hope you do to! 🙂
Invigoratingly so. I love problems that aren’t mine to solve. The pile in front of Audri and Val and Thoos and Picknar is quite dazzling. I can’t begin to figure out how to start. Or even who’s going to argue more.
Well, at least they’re all finally together, that’s something. Now, after getting Val-in-Picknar fixed up, they just need to find the mad scientist who did this to them in the first place and get everybody back the right body’s again! Oh, and report what the people of Clentity did to their homeless to the G.O.B. They can do something about that, right?
