Craiggers, I don’t know what sort of psychtropic drugs you used in college to allow your mind to come up with this stuff, but I’m damn sure glad you did them! And the time this must have taken…wow….
I didn’t realize there was so much detail in the black out panels. I only saw white dots on my lap top, but can see all the detail on my work computer. Oh, and the Pentagon looks great!
Not only the placement of the railings, but of the legs covering the dead guy’s piece.
Great edition. I laughed at magic carpets too. I also love the scary balloon girl’s heard popping up in the crowd. She’s so freaky!
Oh, I get it now. The racist comments were satire. And to think I was going to invite you to join the gay branch of the Aryan Brotherhood, The Log Cabin Aryans.
Enrico: I like the way her head pops up like that too!
Mark: Wait, where is Osiris?
Reinflation is just one of their powers. I’m thinking they just take a big inhale. I was going to have the “hot air balloon” deflate themselves by pushing out the helium, then sucking in regular air, but rather liked the quick one two punch of suddenly appearing the way they did in the end.
I’m only confused by one thing – how did they disassemble the balloon (made of “popped” inflatables last week), then repair and reassemble the army of inflatable goons in the space of a single “thwack”? That’s creepy.
But they weren’t popped. Only one of them was popped accidentally last time. They were just filled with helium and tied together. Granted, untying themselves, pushing out the helium and sucking in fresh air could be a bit time consuming, but I think THWACK just about covers it
Actually, THWACK is a scientific acronym which stands for Transitive Helium Wind-Air Coordination Kenosis. Or essentially the automatic transversion of helium to normal air.
Am I the only one to notice that Tam is the only woman to comment today? And that was four hours ago. Michelle, Michelle, Heather, Brunhilda, where are you?
It is a bit of a sausage fest today. And is it just me or do the balloon brigade of inflatables look like they are about to engage in a giant circle jerk in that last panel?
Mark: Agreed, I thought she looked fine and as soon as she opened her mouth to sing, it didn’t really matter. However, the “stylists” always have at them.
Damn, the one day I’m not on, you guys yammer away and I miss out.
Mark: Hope you enjoyed the wedding. Glad you are back.
My feet hurt. Too much shopping, not much buying. Why is it the same stores no matter where you go in the is world? What’s up with that? More of the same tomorrow. Sigh.
Nice! I like the animation. I missed that when I first viewed this post on my iPod. I am also impressed with the attention to detail. Keep the saga coming.
April 13th, 2009 at 6:13 am
Great animations! The “orifice” kills me! I also love the rather strategic railing placement. Oh and Magic Carpet made me totally snort!
April 13th, 2009 at 8:31 am
“Oh they’re white” hehehehehheheh…..
Craiggers, I don’t know what sort of psychtropic drugs you used in college to allow your mind to come up with this stuff, but I’m damn sure glad you did them! And the time this must have taken…wow….
HUGS…
April 13th, 2009 at 8:33 am
This is getting interesting.
April 13th, 2009 at 8:53 am
The Pentagon? Holy cow, they are not wasting any time. Brilliant as usual, but I’m dying to see more. Great job.
April 13th, 2009 at 9:10 am

April 13th, 2009 at 9:18 am
I’m glad you guys like it! I promise Super Viagra and Vagina girl will show up eventually.
Thanks for noticing john. I’m trying to take my time with these drawings and give them more detail than I have in the past.
April 13th, 2009 at 9:36 am
Magic carpets? Oh man, now there’s going to be a Fatwa against Puntabulous. Haven’t you learned anything from the Swedish?
April 13th, 2009 at 9:47 am
This is yet another awesome chapter!
I’m starting to get creeped out though. And I love that I’m getting creeped out!
April 13th, 2009 at 10:05 am
This is quickly turning into the most intriguing SV & VG stories yet…
April 13th, 2009 at 10:21 am

April 13th, 2009 at 10:34 am
Mark: Ah, yes, the Log Cabin Aryans…how would the flavor of my waffles survive without their syrup’s mapley goodness?
April 13th, 2009 at 10:35 am
And, no, “waffles” is not a euphemism…
April 13th, 2009 at 10:42 am
But syrup is????
April 13th, 2009 at 10:44 am
And I have 2 stupid questions. (Go Figure). What does the God Osiris have to do with frame 18. And how did the doll reinflate herself in frame 24?
April 13th, 2009 at 10:47 am
Sorry, I meant Ra not Osiris
April 13th, 2009 at 10:50 am
Dave S: I hope to keep up the intrigue!
Enrico: I like the way her head pops up like that too!
Mark: Wait, where is Osiris?

April 13th, 2009 at 10:54 am
I meant Ra the Egyptian Sun God. You don’t see it?
April 13th, 2009 at 10:57 am
Mark: LOL! I totally see Ra!
April 13th, 2009 at 10:57 am
Mark: That’s supposed to be a lamp. But I immediately thought of the Saturday morning Isis show.
April 13th, 2009 at 10:58 am
I wish I could reinflate myself with a big inhale!
Crossed the line??
You put the thought in my head!
April 13th, 2009 at 10:59 am
John: Thank Ra I’m not the only one.
April 13th, 2009 at 11:00 am
Dave S: I loved Linda Carter in that show.
April 13th, 2009 at 11:02 am
Wait a minute, wrong show, I tink.
April 13th, 2009 at 11:03 am
Mark: It was Joanna Cameron. Totally crushing on her as an 8-year-old.
April 13th, 2009 at 11:03 am
Hottest librarian *ever*…
April 13th, 2009 at 11:06 am
I had Isis confused with Wonder Woman. It was soo long ago, memory fading.
April 13th, 2009 at 11:07 am
Let’s not forget the silhouette of Anubis, who pulls the plug on the doll before she goes into the Pentagon.
Seriously, that hand was one of the hardest things to get right this entry.
April 13th, 2009 at 11:12 am
Craig: It was well worth the effort! This whole thing looks top-notch.
What a great name for a band: Pink Anubis
Sounds kinda dirty…
April 13th, 2009 at 11:15 am
Craig: The hand totally has the silhouette of a Jackyl. I thought I was imagining this but now…..I wonder.
April 13th, 2009 at 11:16 am
Dave S: Had to look it up to remember but now i do: CLICK HERE
Pink Jackyl???
April 13th, 2009 at 11:25 am
Isis was a total hotty as was Wonder Woman (Linda Carter) I also liked Electra Woman and Dyna Girl: CLICK HERE
Pink Anubis totally sounds like band name. Or a vibrator.
April 13th, 2009 at 11:30 am
john: And don’t forget about Ark II and Dr. Shrinker!
April 13th, 2009 at 11:36 am
I had a crush on Jimmy from HR Puffinstuff. It’s a wonder I turned into the straight, womanizer I am today.
April 13th, 2009 at 11:55 am
I gotta take the rental back now, I bet Craig wishes I had stayed in Beaver. UGH!!!
April 13th, 2009 at 12:00 pm

April 13th, 2009 at 12:03 pm
Jere: Science! Or Magic! I haven’t decided yet.
But they weren’t popped. Only one of them was popped accidentally last time. They were just filled with helium and tied together. Granted, untying themselves, pushing out the helium and sucking in fresh air could be a bit time consuming, but I think THWACK just about covers it
April 13th, 2009 at 12:44 pm
Actually, THWACK is a scientific acronym which stands for Transitive Helium Wind-Air Coordination Kenosis. Or essentially the automatic transversion of helium to normal air.
April 13th, 2009 at 12:45 pm
I’m mean, c’mon, Jere — as if Craig would overlook something like that…
April 13th, 2009 at 12:48 pm
THWAK!: It’s a technical term.
Dav S.: I didn’t remember either of those shows!
April 13th, 2009 at 12:53 pm
Dave S: How about TMTOYH? JK, LY!
April 13th, 2009 at 12:54 pm
You never cease to AMZ me!
April 13th, 2009 at 1:02 pm
Am I the only one to notice that Tam is the only woman to comment today? And that was four hours ago. Michelle, Michelle, Heather, Brunhilda, where are you?
April 13th, 2009 at 1:03 pm
“Transitive Helium Wind-Air Coordination Kenosis”
I’m impressed Dave S!
April 13th, 2009 at 1:43 pm

April 13th, 2009 at 1:57 pm
john: Well, duh! Why do you think they have those looks on their faces?
April 13th, 2009 at 1:58 pm
Forget about Shirley Bassey and The Borg Queen, I have a new love. Her name is Susan Boyle and you can see her here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9lp0IWv8QZY
As soon as I can get a pic for gravatar…I will be Susan Boyle. Love Her.
April 13th, 2009 at 2:11 pm
Mark: I caught her this weekend and was totally blown away. That was the perfect song for her voice.
I think when we see her next she will have had her hair did and her eyebrows threaded.
April 13th, 2009 at 2:17 pm
John: I hope not, I love her just the way she is.
April 13th, 2009 at 2:20 pm
Mark: Agreed, I thought she looked fine and as soon as she opened her mouth to sing, it didn’t really matter. However, the “stylists” always have at them.
April 13th, 2009 at 2:21 pm
Anyone who was teased about their appearance when they were young will understand, she is the true Cinderella. She is beautiful just the way she is.
April 13th, 2009 at 2:26 pm
John: I hope you’re wrong, but I fear you’re right
April 13th, 2009 at 2:28 pm
I wanted to BE Isis. It’s a wonder I turned into the straight, womanizer I am today.
What, sausage fests are bad things?
And instead of big inhales, I prefer big exhales…from cute Asians with hairthings. (think about it…..)
HUGS….
April 13th, 2009 at 2:42 pm
Okay, Polt’s, like, totally talking over my head…
April 13th, 2009 at 2:44 pm
Polt: You’re a lot closer to the straight womanizer than me
And I was just planning a VA sausage fest for my home town. Damn, I guess it’s not happening. Big exhale..(not the good kind)
But I may be moving to Beaver county, so all’s not lost.
April 13th, 2009 at 3:05 pm
LOL, I read VA sausage fest as Vienna Sausage Fest.
April 13th, 2009 at 3:07 pm
Mark, i DID have a date with a woman this weekend, so hey, who knows?
And I’d think that moving to Beaver PA would be the epitome of all being lost.
HUGS…
April 13th, 2009 at 4:19 pm
Damn, the one day I’m not on, you guys yammer away and I miss out.
Mark: Hope you enjoyed the wedding. Glad you are back.
My feet hurt. Too much shopping, not much buying. Why is it the same stores no matter where you go in the is world? What’s up with that? More of the same tomorrow. Sigh.
April 13th, 2009 at 5:19 pm
I’m here! Busy day at work doing all the stuff I thought I’d get done over the long weekend but hardly touched, and this is the first I’ve been on.
This is great. Craig, I think your drawings have gotten more complicated than they used to be. (Even little things, like the balloons getting closer.)
April 13th, 2009 at 6:25 pm
Couldn’t pass up a sausage fest.
Very intriguing, Craig. Super job on the dark panels. And the blow up doll’s back entrance (yikes) – great attention to detail. Can’t wait for more.
Oh Mighty Isis, Electra Woman, Dr. Shrinker, PufnStuf… You guys are taking me back.
April 13th, 2009 at 8:50 pm
“Dr Shrinker”?
Clearly I missed some key aspect of western child culture….
“Dr Shrinker” sounds like they are either a proctologist (treating ‘roids), or the ultimate Arch Villain to confront Super Viagra.
April 13th, 2009 at 9:40 pm
Nice! I like the animation. I missed that when I first viewed this post on my iPod. I am also impressed with the attention to detail. Keep the saga coming.
April 13th, 2009 at 10:55 pm
All the attention to detail is so it’ll make an easier transition to graphic novel when I’m all done
April 13th, 2009 at 11:01 pm
Just watched the Susan Boyle video. It was amazing. Brought a tear to my eye.
