I believe Celia compromised the situation, actually–if she calls the police, how exactly would she then acquire the treasure map again? I’m sure they would take it away from him, so she would end up getting no money at all.
Then again, the man dangling through the ceiling (I’m guessing over an obvious pit of carnivorous reptiles) has to be smart enough to point that out to her.
Oh, I don’t think she’s actually going to do it. She was probably just trying to hold over his head the fact that she’s the one with “the power” and thus he should do whatever she wants.
If I was picking mission names I’d have “Operation Tasty Frog” and “Operation Squeaky Toy Apocalypse”, or “Operation Obscure Saxophone” and “Operation Squeamish Mendicant”.
No, no, flame check, too. Let’s not forget, if there are any flammable materials in that “unfinished storage” (which there are bound to be some), then any flatulence may cause it to erupt…
If there’s something already on fire, it could make his… uh… gas catch sparks, and these sparks could catch the flammable material. Voilá: “instant” fire.
Let’s just hope the Olypmic Torch isn’t stored in there… that thing NEVER goes out, unless it’s to light the cauldron – then again, who knows how much fuel is stored in that thing? It keeps burning even after they light the cauldron, right?
If I went crawling up above the ceiling tiles in my basement… let’s just say that, first of all, I’d be very impressed if the bars that hold the tiles in place could support a 170 lbs guy, but I’m pretty sure that the ceiling tiles wouldn’t be able to do the same – one foot with half my weight on it would break the thing in at least two pieces, and I’m not even sure how I’d be standing up in the first place! Has anybody actually taken a look at how much room there is between those and the actual ceiling? In my basement, there’s a likely chance I could hunch over and fit (provided the tiles were thick enough for that), because whatever smarty designed the place decided to cover 3/4 of the only window down there – and that thing is underneath our deck in the back, anyway!
I must say that they’re confusing to anybody who’s never played a Metal Gear Solid game before, other than a short demo for PSP (that’s me!). So yeah, make sure you’ve played at least the first three, maybe the spinoffs, I dunno.
I see.
could the unfinished storage hold a treasure inside?
this must be the simplest page yet
just eye balls and a set of legs
hey, legs are hard to draw! and eyeballs, even harder! And getting expressions when all you have is a pair of eyeballs is harder still!
On the other hand, we’ve just had a Spot (superdog) strip, and you know what that means: “The artist needs a break from art (again)”
Thomas = Fail
Which rhymes with the word “Jail”.
And Mail!
@JB
And bail!
:sing:
Get back, write braille
Get jailed, jump bail
Join the army, if you fail…
…now who’s old or obscure enough to know what that’s from?
i am!
*googles
Get back, write braille
Get jailed, jump bail
Join the army, if you fail*
Subterranean Homesick Blues by bob dylan!
p.s. fist comment! love the comic, Rick!
I feel so… easy to animate!
seems like we’ll be seeing Fido, Spo, and the K9 crew very soon
…..or perhaps the wolf pack, since they seem to be on security duty
I can say nothing at this point except XD!
It’s a good thing that you’re typing, then.
The ferrets were still working on their secret passages– why else would they want pneumatic tubes?
If he would have just learned to compromise, his operation might not have been…compromised?

On a side note, first time posty. ^^
Oh, I don’t think she’s actually going to do it. She was probably just trying to hold over his head the fact that she’s the one with “the power” and thus he should do whatever she wants.
or she’s stupid
>_>
Nah, she’s the “perfectly rational human being,” remember?
Oh, boy. This going to get very tough very fast for him, but very entertaining for us. ^w^
Operation impending doom :3
I told you not to let Dubya pick your secret mission names!
And if that fails, we have Operation Impending Doom 2.
We hope, will be a success.
If I was picking mission names I’d have “Operation Tasty Frog” and “Operation Squeaky Toy Apocalypse”, or “Operation Obscure Saxophone” and “Operation Squeamish Mendicant”.
I cannot argue with those!
Well he’s bound to bump into half a dozen secret unfinished storages just by walking too.
“Couldn’t sleep, thought I’d head over and measure up the space for some new pneumatic tube designs…”.
HOLY JEBUS THAT SCARED ME (Jebus a joke from the simpsons)
I saw the legs and thought he got hung or something.
Now that wouldn’t give Rick’s comic a PG rating would it? =D
me 2!
Hahaha !!!!
I almost feel sorry for him…
Did someone already mention that Thamos forgot to bring a flashlight or a glow-in-the-dark wristwatch? I bet Sly Cooper wouldn’t forget.
HA
Sly cooper rocks.
Then again, he’s a raccoon….he wouldn’t need those…
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA stupid criminals. =D
I’d go with the possibility of it being unfinished storage
Hiimdaisy <3
Alert! Blue Spy in the unfinished storage!
flame check plz
spy check – I mean… *Facepalm*
No, no, flame check, too. Let’s not forget, if there are any flammable materials in that “unfinished storage” (which there are bound to be some), then any flatulence may cause it to erupt…
Hold it in, Thomas!
The flammables wouldn’t explode via farting. Unless he farted out sparks… I image he could jump-start a car like that! =D
If there’s something already on fire, it could make his… uh… gas catch sparks, and these sparks could catch the flammable material. Voilá: “instant” fire.
@Frank
That would be considered “biological” warfare.
yeah, but if there’s something in there already on fire in there, wouldn’t that flame have caught said flammables on fire with out any fart’s help?
ooooooo… burned
^ bad pun ^
You know, one of the things I love about this comic is the complete frankness of the interrupting sentences the characters always seem to have ready.
Such as…
SHUT UP YOU GET NOTHING
Who needs the ferrets to run a “Home Alone” scenario? It seems that our two thieves are doing just that by themselves. And doing it well.
Just wait until he pulls a Joe Pesci and sets his hair on fire. x3
Let’s just hope the Olypmic Torch isn’t stored in there… that thing NEVER goes out, unless it’s to light the cauldron – then again, who knows how much fuel is stored in that thing? It keeps burning even after they light the cauldron, right?
PS How’d I start talking about the Olympics?…
X__X
Well, the situation’s just getting better and better!
For us, the readers I mean.
Hey, wait… what happened to his turtleneck? And where did he get that white coat? Or is that his cell-phone carrier? Or pieces off a wall?
It would seem to be ceiling stuff.
If the next strip features Thomas kicking to try and get free, there better be a Herbie Hancock reference somewhere.
I have no idea what’s happening in the last panel
He fell througth the ceiling plaster, and is just sort of…
hanging around.
If I went crawling up above the ceiling tiles in my basement… let’s just say that, first of all, I’d be very impressed if the bars that hold the tiles in place could support a 170 lbs guy, but I’m pretty sure that the ceiling tiles wouldn’t be able to do the same – one foot with half my weight on it would break the thing in at least two pieces, and I’m not even sure how I’d be standing up in the first place!

Huh, I was just reading hiimdaisy’s Metal Gear Solid Comics (look at the alt text).
I must say that they’re confusing to anybody who’s never played a Metal Gear Solid game before, other than a short demo for PSP (that’s me!). So yeah, make sure you’ve played at least the first three, maybe the spinoffs, I dunno.
Hmm, since my earlier comment seems to have gone missing, next time I will try to refrain from aggressive language and unintentional spoi— *PUNCH*
