So in the last strip I mentioned Kroggs in the alt-text, but of course none of you knew what they were. Here’s the explanation.
I needed the extra panel for the previous sequence, so this strip has a missing panel (and the previous one has one extra) (this one needs to have one missing is because these are both halves of the same full page for the printed books).

-Picknar drove a van-like vehicle out onto the ramp. Lasper, walking out, said, “Well, kroggs are tough, one of the only rain-of-acid-impermeable creatures on the planet, but that sleeping drug should keep it unconscious for a couple of days.” Knox asked, “‘Should’?” Picknar got out of the vehicle and said “Okay, let’s load it up.” Looking at the vehicle, Knox said, “I still can’t believe this whole vehicle is made of non-metallic minerals. Just rock. It makes me feel like Fred Flintstone.” Rodrigo said, “You look more like Barney Rubble.” Gerek drove a forklift out and proceeded to use it to life the Krogg up on top of the vehicle. Knox said to Rodrigo, “I’m pretending I didn’t hear that.” Rodrigo replied, “In that case, I’m pretending I repeated myself to make sure you did.”

In awe at the size of this lad. Absolute unit.
This time they’re throwing the bus under the scapegoat.
Very good comment!
“Okay, let’s say someone DOES drive up with a krogg as an umbrella. They’ll still need a Bollyck to get past our lasers. How likely is that?”
Knox is being silly. Barney is clearly the looker of the two.
But to get the fruity taste he’ll have to trick Fred.
Which Barney did in a Robot Chicken skit. Wound up killing Fred and then wound up hung for the murder (and then the killing spree of the witnesses).
That sounds awful!
Dark.
“Metallic” has two Ls. Just want the print edition to be perfect! ^_^
@Nomi, huh, so it does. Thank you! Fixed! 🙂
I can’t even envision how all this is going to play out, but any time that Krogg wakes up, things are suddenly going to get going in a BIG way.
I am figuring that an acid-proof vehicle would be made of plastic like polyethylene which has virtually no electronic bonding sites and is therefor immune to acid. I don’t see how “stone” is any different from “metallic stone” where pH is concerned.
