Worlds of Peril 13: Homeworld

Drat. Since my SP membership ran out, and I can't afford another SP year right now, I'm going to have to rejoin as a Preemie. Pass that crack pipe, would you?

Nice Jon. I love the color fade in the sky towards the horizon. The grass looks almost windswept. Well worth the wait.

In Response to jferg (#25739):

Jferg, I've extended your Premium subscription until April. Just because I'm late with the strips is no reason for you to miss out on what you paid for. Let me know if you have any problems accessing the Sunday strips.

Behold Jon, the Nice Guy. If I were in New York, I'd buy him a beer.

In Response to jon (#25752):

Oh, thanks! I do plan on re-subscribing soon anyway, but it's much-appreciated. Next time I'm in NYC, whenever that may be, I owe you a beer or three.

With a chop, chop here and a . . .

In Response to ShutUpEJ (#25755):

and to jferg,

The correct statement here is :

When I am in New York, I will buy Jon some [1] beers.

[1] Were some is any number greater then one, but less then the number of beers required to induce coma [2]

[2] You cannot buy Phillip some beers, where some is in the upper range of its possible values.

 

I think Jebediah's constant cigar-chomping and gun-toting is getting sort of campy. Maybe beneath the shaved head and the fancy facial hair he's actually a big cuddly softy. I like the way you draw his little tassle. And this week, i have the same haircut as he does.

One of the cool things about Worlds of Peril (so far-- perhaps this will all be different after further plot developments) is the way it leaves certain possibilities open to the reader's imagination: possibilities that it might tie together a variety of loose story threads and could even potentially explain connections between Space Wizards [goats.com], Crab City [goats.com], and giant flaming cyborgs [goats.com] (which are coincidentally one of my favorite varieties of cyborg).

In Response to Teledildonix (#25817):

Flaming cyborgs as in actually on fire? Or flaming cyborgs as in flaming "Queer Eye For the Straight Android" gay cyborgs?

In Response to ShutUpEJ (#25819):

Auburn, tawny, and russet anthropomorphic mechanoids. There's some other kind?

In Response to ShutUpEJ (#25819):

Flaming cyborgs as in actually on fire? Or flaming cyborgs as in flaming "Queer Eye For the Straight Android" gay cyborgs?
There's only one way to find out for sure.

And that way is the way that involves becoming a Premium member.

Enhance your memberness!

Though even Premium members don't know about said flaming cyborg's love life. Perhaps he heads down to the Manhole for potluck night...if he's male. Which is hard to say.

In Response to Llamarama (#25841):

if he's male. Which is hard to say.

I dunno...

"If he's male" seems pretty easy to say to me...

In Response to zamphir (#25863):

It's got to be tougher if you're a giant flaming cyborg potato, though. Which isn't what I was saying at first and is rather circular. But is nonetheless true.

He seemed to have pretty good diction.

In Response to zamphir (#25946):

And I respect him for that.

Probably none of my business, but generally the convention here is we surround the previous quote with <em> tags rather than putting in the greater than sign.

Remember, the mnemonic song:

Remember kids
If you're going to be replyin',
<em>brace the posters words
Don't impale them with a greater than sign
(guitar solo)

In Response to Deathalicious (#25983):

Don't forget the bridge:

The other convention
is to use apostrophe's when implying possession.

In Response to Deathalicious (#25983):

As a historical note, I've always used italics, not emphasis.

In Response to deerboy (#25988):

Oh, like Strong Bad's song:

If you want a possessive, it's just I-T-S,
But if you wanna make it a contraction then it's I-T-apostrophe-S... scalawag.

I can do that. Thanks for the heads up.

Is there an MP3 on the mnemonic song? It's pretty catchy.

In Response to zamphir (#25995):

Italics <i></i> have been deprecated in favor of emphasis <em></em> in the ongoing abstraction of HTML so that there can be "better" compliance with CSS, and alternative HTML viewers (ie. those for the deaf, or other displays unlike the general desktop workstation).

In Response to Dynedain (#26040):

So if is the new , what is used for ?
