I've gotten a few emails from folks looking for the strips in which Phillip makes a snack of the Lord Almighty. They're not in the archive. Those events took place during the Contains One Space Battle minicomic. Read it for free!
Oh, very well, Moderator, I'll explain it.
"I have further been told," said the cat, "that you can also transform yourself into the smallest of animals, for example, a rat or a mouse. But I can scarcely believe that. I must admit to you that I think that that would be quite impossible."[1] Charles Perrault, "The Master Cat; or, Puss in Boots [pitt.edu]", in Stories or Tales from Times Past; or, Tales of Mother Goose [pitt.edu] (1697)."Impossible!" cried the ogre. "You shall see!"
He immediately changed himself into a mouse and began to run about the floor. As soon as the cat saw this, he fell upon him and ate him up. [1]
I had to have read that wrong. I'm sure you didn't just answer yourself. Please tell me that I was just seeing things. Please?
No, I didn't answer myself. A Moderator gave me a -1 Incoherent downmod for the post. That doesn't bother me in the slightest, but I thought it worth explaining the reference. Subsequent Moderators upmodded it.
If none of that makes sense to you, have a look at the Forum FAQ [goats.com].
Not that there's anything wrong with talking to one's self, of course.
I am duly chastised and now also well read on the faq. thanks muchly.
No need to feel chastised; it was a reasonable newbie question. Welcome to the Goats Forums. By the way, there is a size limit on sigs, and yours seems to be cut off in midsentence. Which makes it quite interesting, actually.
Maybe you should link said free comic in the comic notes for this strip (or perhaps one of the previous recent ones alluding to the culinary deicide). It could be all "As seen in Iss. N, -Ed.", which is sometimes overdone as a joketrope, but this would 1) actually be in earnest and 2) you haevn't really used that joke before AFAIK.
...In an unrelated aside, mine english centers seem to be broken this morning. I blame ale.
It's already been added to the notes, although without your clever phrasing.
