Fish? Mendel? VR Mind probes?
posted Wednesday, December 29, 2004 - 01:25 AM (#23750)
Here are the links since the poll feature won't let me put them in this poll itself:

Since he got cracked [goats.com]

Since the red room [goats.com]

Since his crucifixion/asphyxiation [goats.com] and zombie juice [goats.com]

all along [goats.com]

Something [goats.com] else [goats.com] entirely [goats.com]

Oh, and of course the strip in question for the sake of posterity [goats.com].

And finally, are Space Wizards related to Space Mummy?

POLL: So how long do you think Fish has been in a VR environment?
 
71% (32) Since he got cracked
 
11% (5) Since the red room
 
6% (3) Since his crucifixtion/asphyxiation and Zombie Juice
 
4% (2) All along
 
6% (3) Something Else Entirely

I don't think we're ready - I'm assuming here based on the results - to delve so deep into the theoretical possibility that Fish has been in VR the whole time before getting whacked in the head with a tiny crowbar.

I was expecting a dream, but WOW! Way to go Jon, you certainly threw me for a loop.

...are Space Wizards related to Space Mummy?
Space Wizards would fight Space Mummy. I tried to find proof of this, but I can't read D&D boards forever. All I have is this [yahoo.com]. It's number 7. I figure it would be in space how it would be on "earth".

There were many hints, but the most important one was in the background of panel one here [goats.com].

And the bruise on Fish's eye in today's strip should answer Dynedain's question.

More answers coming tomorrow.

So, now we've gone from Fish = Jesus to Fish = Commander Riker?

Well, they do both have beards.

Eric weighs in [websnark.com] with a "what the fuck?"

Which is the response I was looking for.

You certainly got that from me but I think something doesn't fit. I'll have to wait to see what's coming first...

I think we're all missing the real question: Is Toothgnip working WITH Mendell? After all, he's the one who sent Fish to the Manhole, and he WAS gone for over a year. He could be under Mendell's control, or being bribed by him (maybe Mendell stole the Panties of Potency - we haven't seen Toothy with any females for a while), or he could've voluntarily joined forces with him.

And/Or, Bruce the Sleestak could be working with Mendell. Maybe Baio is in on it somehow too.

Questions upon questions...

Darn you, jon. This is not the first time when I have missed crucial plot points due to neglecting the backgrounds of your deceptively subtle and intricately detailed artwork; I will endeavor to make sure it is the last, however.

Though, the "hint" could have also alluded to another bit [goats.com] of goats history.

No insult intended, but please try not to make posts that purely serve to make you look completely fucking brainless.
