I don't remember how Aorist came back to life last time either.

Lewis's Notes

Gotcha!

OK, I was going to save these for after the election, but I just can't hold back that long. Here are some AMAZING anagrams of the vice presidential candidates (well, anagrams of their names):

Sarah Plain

Joe In Bed

Lewis's Notes

Wow, Ben, way to politicize our comic.

Now we see the dangers inherent in having a Labor Day sale. If only someone had been there to warn Furniture Store Guy.

Lewis's Notes

LORD TERROR'S FURNITURE STORE IS ACTUALLY QUITE WELL ARRANGED, WITH THE MORE POPULAR ITEMS ON TOP OF THE PILE FOR EASIER ACCESS.

Do you like webcomics? If you answered "yes," you should check out Thinkin' Lincoln, a webcomic about history and some people from history; F Chords, a webcomic about music and some people who play music; and Dudley's Dungeon, a webcomic about NetHack and some ASCII characters from NetHack.

Lewis's Notes

I think that if there is one point about the plot readers are most likely to forget, it is that Liln and Jame are dating. I'm not entirely sure why this is, since basically everything in the strip revolves around their relationship (the proof of this is left as an exercise to the reader).

Lewis, aren't bugbears from Europe? Why would they be around Geography City?

Lewis's Notes

Geography City was originally founded by the Spanish, who inadvertently introduced the bugbear to California by not checking the undersides of their ships carefully enough.

Back then, the city was known as La Ciudad de Geografía.

Check out Aorist's reflection in York in panel three. This is what happens with metal actors.

Lewis's Notes

Ben is so good at scripting my comments, that I wanted to just let him do it all the time. Unfortunately, he wasn't a fan of that plan, so this is what you all get.

Abandoned by their camping groups! How will our heroes get out of this one?

Lewis's Notes

They're not just our heroes, Ben. They belong to the world.

Ben's Comments

This was actually filmed at a beach, not a desert.

Well, not filmed, really, but you get the idea.

Lewis's Notes

This script was inspired by my own trip to Joshua Tree, insofar as that involved desert camping. I had shelter and food, and protection from desert snakes.

That hill in the forest was actually more slippery than it looked. True story.

By the way, I'm back in California now, so the non-canonical strips of last week shouldn't need to continue.

Lewis's Notes

You may not be able to tell, but Panther is so confused by the forest that he is accidentally addressing his comments to the nearby acorn, which he is mistaking for Stephen.

Stratego pieces are always complaining. I hate them so much.

Lewis's Notes

Ben, what about your principle of universal friendship? The one that Pythagoras stole from you with his time machine?

Ben's Comments

These comments were totally written by Ben, and not Lewis. You can tell because I am going to talk about the photography. I used a camera.

I wrote Ben's comments today. -Lewis

Lewis's Notes

Hey, remember that one time, when this strip hadn't really broken the fourth wall? Well it still mostly hasn't, because of a little thing called 'strips outside the main continuity'. Or at least, that is what we are telling ourselves.

Ben's Comments

Blue Tiddlywink is referring to this strip

Lewis's Notes

I wanted this strip to be in-canon, but Ben was all "No, Lewis, this is not canon." Remember, when you have a collaborator, sometimes you have to compromise by not arbitrarily declaring things canon on a whim.

Ben's Comments

I am in Michigan, and it turns out that I suffer from a rare condition of being unable to write my own comments while in Michigan. That's ok, though, since I have to do more of the scripting on my own when Lewis is slacking off because he is moving apartments.

I wrote Ben's comments today. -Lewis

Lewis's Notes

I have no excuse for the lameness of my comments. If they were a horse, they'd obviously have to be shot.

I think you mean August, Ben.
