I'm concerned we're taking too long to find the Flutonic Reactor, and will be on the point of finding it, when we realise it's Tuesday and approaching rewatch time, go back to the hotel to use their free wi-fi and the mad scientist escapes.
Vote Og.

Love the detail Huggy, the reverse text colours for conversation in the dark, and the torch beams. Thanks! The torch beams are actually very easy to make. I just put a black layer at 65% opacity in front and then cut out the beams. Very simple and yet very effective. But the colour choices for those 'injury stars' in the last panel are <chef's kiss>! Thanks again, although I just pick some random colours from the palette. That said, I usually seem to end up with 1/3 of primary colours and 2/3 of weird shades. The secret is probably in that mix. |

It's probably where he keeps all his salt. A gestalt sea devil???? Good ideas, but I went for something different. |

"Do you think these are the remains from horrible medical experiments?" "Worse! - Brussell sprouts!" I was thinking along these lines first but then abandoned the idea because I already did the Brussel sprouts gag in episode 128. That was probably a mistake. Not only is the Brussel sprouts punchline much better - I also wouldn't have had to draw all these different kinds of preserved. Just one jar of BS, copied multiple times - would have saved me a lot of work. |

I started seeing the three dots on the teleport as eyes, and now I can't help see the green teleport as a cute three-eyed robot with claw hands in the air, standing on its side, just waiting to flip down and zoom away. |

The baddie knows who they are! (It makes sense because he's planned the whole flutonic reactor heist, but it's scary when some head honcho bad guy calls you by name.) Also: real weapons! "Watch out, TT! They've got Lugers!" "That's awful! I'm sure it was lagers we asked for." |

Mr Yes is losing his audience. He needs to step it up with his evil-overlord monologue. Maybe he should have scattered prawn-cocktail pringles and ads for a cloning service outside his house to distract the intruders ;) |

Now that we're facing the Diabolical Mastermind, any chance that Mrs Peel could turn up to rescue us, wearing only the top half of a Robin Hood costume, and her underwear as the bottom half: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SNmkj...NmkjwAWuiM Vote Og.

Good point! Og to the rescue then! Dr Yes doesn't have any hands, so he's going to drown in his own nuclear reactor, because he can't lift himself out when Og charges him into it with his horns.

That's life with a cockatoo. Random screaming (and other things) for no reason. He will answer the Kaiju when we are watching Godzilla movies, and he absolutely had a scale 10 freakout during the Romulan Witch massacre in Picard. . . Cockatoo? What Cockatoo? I don't see a Cockatoo! |
