Horizon Observatory visit

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.

What gruesome discoveries will our intrepid heroes make in the cellar of the mad scientist's lair...


A gestalt sea devil????

And it's a completely different Canadian named Vanessa anyway. Not the one you're thinking of.


That's my uncle Roger.

Well, 'our' Vanessa likes to blur the lines between identities herself:

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.

Good ideas, but I went for something different.

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.

In case you ever wondered about the one-way plane ticket:

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!

Definitely a tube (or 2) of Prawn Cocktail Pringles please!!
Cold! You don't know the meaning of the word cold!
Cold is when you have ice on the INSIDE of your window!!

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:

While Mrs. Peel is indeed looking lovely, her costume might not look as effective in the heads-only style of this strip.

And speaking of costumes like Mrs. Peel's:

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.
Vote Og.

YOU HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE START UP PROCEDURES IN THE CORRECT ORDER!!😀
I look behind me, what do I see? A pair of golden wings seem to be attached to me.

Excellent foreshadowing, Huggy Smile That bottom lead is unplugged in the prior strips as well (yes, I scrolled back and checked Wink )

With the plans of the Diabolical Mastermind in tatters, it must nearly be time for us to visit the nearest pub. Cool
Vote Og.

How about if we fill up that big funnel thing that Huggy has drawn in the background?

Sounds like a plan. However, it's not over yet.

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.
