Ferris wheel of doom! And snuggles.
Wait a minute, ferris wheels repeat every few seconds…man that would get real annoying real fast even if the content of the ride actually is both educational and entertaining.
Welcome to the Thempark World guided tour of Ferris Wheels Through the Ages…

Aaaaaaaaaa
Didn’t know “Thempark” was so scary
I warned you about the ferrets. Didn’t I warn you about the ferrets? Come to think of it, I forgot to warn you about the ferrets. Silly me.
You ferret you
Holy mother of Disney, just what IS your avatar?
When it’s 1:30 in the morning, and you are both waiting on Housepets AND working on a Gears of War spoof, the idea to turn COG armor into DOG armor doesn’t seem so stupid. However, at 7 pm the next day…
This one better?
FAILVITAR STRIKES AGAIN!!!
Or not
You people be riding my comment.
Mhm.
*twitch twitch* Help… *twitch*
Elijah: it’s safer than riding the Underground Ferris Wheel.
This is an undergroun Ferris wheel that doesn’t go in a wheel– which makes it pretty much the best ride ever.
Eep! That’s even more of a jerk move than Pete’s ever pulled. XP
Can I has meaningless first comment? Or better, fourth comment?
Darn it. Second comment. That’s always the worst comment to make.
*hides in a dark corner with a crappy audio track and cries*
Commenting on the number of comments is discouraged, commenting on Fido having a legitimate reason to panic for once is encouraged.
Both are so true
That’s Bino in there, I’m pretty sure.
You can tell by the dog tag and the comic tag.
You can also tell because Fido is ripped and Joey is little with patch of dark fur over one eye.
If you want to get picky.
@Severedevil
Fido has a dark patch as well, over the greater visible eye in the above comic
King never did get to go walkies with Sasha…
It’s probably for the best. Dates set up whilst drunk almost never go well.
When does anything go well while one is under the influence?
Looney Tunes marathons.
Every time the coyote goes over the cliff, chug an orange soda.
I replaced orange soda with cola and I got sugar intoxication by the end of episode seven. Hee hee heeck. . .
How could you tell over the caffeine buzz?
Caffeine immunity.
Oh, man, I’m so sorry… I didn’t know…
It probably happened off
cameracomic.or that King wasn’t able to go due to certain cubs. .
Hey it could be worse. At least its not the “It’s a small world” song.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH (gasp) AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH (gasp) AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH
WHO INVENTED THAT SONG
btw thanks now it’s yet again STUCK IN MY HEAD
AAAAAAAAAAAAAH
IT BURNS! IT FREEZES! IT MELTS THE BRAIN!
indeed
A simple analogy of THAT song.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nl5gBJGnaXs&feature=search
Any questions?
How much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?
How many nuns could a nunchuck chuck if a nunchuck could chuck nuns?
IDK.
I’ll ask Chuck Norris for an answer to those questions.
I have a question…
Will this be on the test?
A woodchuck would chuck as much wood as a woodchuck could chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood.
Alternatively:
A woodchuck would chuck as much wood as a woodchuck would chuck if a woodchuck would chuck wood.
Even more obscure:
How many woodchucks would a woodchucking Chuck chuck if Chuck would chuck woodchucking woodchucks?
Woodchucking woodchuck chucking Chuck would chuck as many woodchucking woodchucks as woodchucking woodchuck chucking Chuck wood.
Try “The sixth sick sheik’s sixth sheep’s sick.”
Oh Expletive deleted…
(Deep Voice)
YESH!!!
Please note that we have added a consequence for failure. Any contact with the chamber floor will result in an ‘unsatisfactory’ mark on your official testing record, followed by death. Good luck!
MAKE IT STOP! MAKE IT STOP! IT’S LESS ANNOY THAT FLAPJACK SHOW!
You’re playing with fire… earworms can be serious business: “For most of us earworms are relatively untroubling. And if you are tempted to moan then just be thankful you’re not the 21-year-old described in a case report by Praharaj et al. (2009). This man had had music from Hindi films going around in his head against his will for between 2 and 45 minutes at a time, up to 35 times a day, for five years. Unfortunately even powerful drugs couldn’t stop the music.”
Don’t worry it will pass. I should know, I’ve had annoying songs stuck in my head so much that I have grown an immunity to them, and all it cost me was my sanity…
First thoguht: hehehe rez is a wuss
Second thought; AUHHHGHGHGG not the narrated rides!
**rex
ugh I can’t type at 2:00…
I can type perfectly at 1 AM while watching TV. 8D(aka, not looking at the keyboard…like…typing blind…umm.. -_-)
Rex looks ugly in this strip 8D Poor thing
makes perfect sense to me only I can’t type at 8 am
Oh, I can type at any time. The legibility of said typing depends on the state I’m in. (i.e. distracted, nervous, excited, or sugar rush… wait, how’d that get in there?)
Could be worse. Freefall just introduced the concept of epic rap yodelling opera.
Yo! Yo! Can’t touch this!
Yodeley… yodeley… yodeleyihoo!
Yo! Yo! Can’t yodel this!
Yo to ho HO!
Yo to ho HO!
Oh, QWERTY… how far have you fallen…
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
lol I love the last panel that would be so annoying to listen to
yes it would
We Triede asking nicely.
WE WANT KING!!! WE WANT KING!!! WE WANT KING!!!
Forget him, who needs King when we have Rex who is noticably larger and less whiny than King.
Alright Boys. (Cracks Whip) Elwood needs to be taught a lesson,
right?
Forgot about the reply button for a second. Then I saw this and am glad I forgot.
WE LIKE REX
WE LIKE REX
Elwood seemed lonely
But I like Ike D:
But, Lupus, what about Mike?? D:
Did you forget him, too?
HEY I WAS JUST DEFENDING SOMEONE
As entertaining as King is there ARE other characters…when’s the last time Rex made an apperance anyway? I only seem to recall seeing him in color a few times, same with Sabrina in the last comic. Good to know they still exsist.
Inconceivable!
This is Housepets! not King Comix. Let’s let somebody else have a shot, hmm?
SCHOOL HASN”T STARTED YET!!!!! I”M NOT ALLOWED TO LEARN!!!!!!!!!
*in deep male voice*
NOO WAII
(portal reference >.>)
That would make sense to me, if I played portal.
I played portal, but I only got to test chamber 19 before I got distracted, so I still don’t get it.
According to teachers
EVERY DAY IS A NEW DAY TO LEARN
For me That’s an occasion to game
:3
Well, learning about gaming universes is still learning, right?
I think every time I log on to Bungie.net I’m learning…
i like that thinking.
*goes to learn about the splinter cell universe… by EXPERIENCE*
NO!!! I REFUSE TO LEARN!!! I don’t learn, I just figure out which way is the easiest way to remove Locusts
Don’t be hatin on a dog in Carmine armor
Just remember to keep your head down!
THE MORE YOU KNOW!***********************************************************
I wonder.. is that City ordinance for real. For some reason.. I can see it would be in this silly day and age XD
I would have thought that a guided tour would actually have to present the experiences somehow.
Perhaps it’s an audio track that talks about the virtual reality tour of diners that are named after famous ferris wheels that comes after the ride when you’re desperate to see anything at all?
The ferris wheel passes by light boards with pictures on them.
Oh man that IS evil!
That makes it a place of sneaking in SHIVERS
Rick: what’s the name of the underground ferris wheel? “All Night Diner” perhaps, or “Sushi Bar Novelty Buffet”?
“High School Cafeteria?”
Wheel of misfortune?
That doesn’t fit the theme-park-restaurant theme!
Oh I don’t know… considering some of the food those places sell…
Ah, less recursive, more annoying! The mayor is even more evil than I thought!
“Welcome to Team Fortress 2 Commentary. I’m Gabe Ne-”
Oh, wrong thing.
nice gravitar.
That’s been there for a while… unless Corodan changed it?
It’s still pretty nice.
twitch averted
King is probably:
A: hanging out with fox who is reading a book somewhere
B: not there because he wanted to avoid as much contact with other pets and fox is fussing to him about it
C: at the chinese buffet express wet fur event with a hose
But I’m leaning towards mostly C.
sorry for the double post but also:
‘let me out’
‘no’
quickly to the escape pod!!!
“The Escape Pod” is a salad bar!
Where the salad eats you.
It’s the Jumangi ride…
Option D
… he drunk orange soda …
here comes hug man again!!!
C. Most definitely C.
combination of D&C?
Plausible. I want to see this.
I agree, very plausible, and I want to see this too.
everybody get wet WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
E. In a mascot suit at the ticket booth, snoozing, because there’s no ticket sales today.
In a mascot suit dressed as a human with stiff, rigid legs (on stilts)?
Abraham Lincoln suit!
Abraham Lincoln conducting the wet fur contest and drinking out of a large container of orange soda with an oversized novelty straw that allows him to drink while on large stilts!
Cue that music from the shower scene in Psycho…
It’s funny how they use chocolate syrup as blood during that scene lol!
I’ve Had WORSE
Rexy? Does Sasha have “lovey” nicknames for all the male canines in the area? She really gets around.
She’s just affectionate. They’re nicknames for the people she hangs out with.
I would like to hear Gilbert Godfried voice the educational voice over
Okay, that just upped the mad scientist laughter effect by two hundred percent.
The designers are cruel, cruel people.
Christopher Lloyd.
NO.
Ben Stein.
I would suggest Morgan Freeman to do the voice over but then the comedic value of the strip would be gone.
Frank Welker
Billy Mays (preferably before he died)
Leonard Nimoy
William… misplaced… dramatic pause… Shatner.
Garrison Keillor.
Actually, that’d probably make me want to take the ride.
Yes!
I always carry my MP3 player around. Thank god for the invention of the IPod if I were in their paws!!!
*Hears the audio track gasps and puts on head phones and plays Hot For Teacher* Phew that was close! -_-
Would you expect them to survive even with the mp3 if the volume of the narrator is at the sound barrier?
How would you hear anything at the sound barrier?
The iPaws… *nods*
heh nice….
Pure genius! It’s like the disney train!
I once rode on the “It’s a small world” ride. I went on the ride with an Asian kid and an African kid. After the ride, I saw that they had disappeared. They were never heard from again…
so that ride IS DOOMED
oh yeah poor you (next to an asian kid who’s parrents probably had a camera *shivers*)
shoulda made friends w/ de asian he maight be famous sumday -_-
The Horror! The Inhumanity!
THAT WHY THEY’RE PETS :3
ANIMAL CRUELITY!! D:
call gaia
See, that makes me think of cats threatening people with pool cues.
I like to differentiate between animal cruelty and cruelty towards animals.
NITPICKER… AWAY!
Don’t forget, these rides are intended for humans.
Awww, panel 3 bino looks so scared.
I wants to huggle him.
well at least it’s BETTER than wanting to hug the WOLF CUBBS
Ahem, it’s huggle. There is a slight difference, in that while most people hug, people like Sasha huggle. Toboe likes to huggle.
wut, huggles? AI WANT HUGGLES!!!
there’s a problem with huggling wolf cubs? I would! they’re so cute! =^_^=
THE WOLF CUBS?
THOSE BRAT KEEP THEM AWAY FROM ME
(remeber we still havnt after HIS hug experience)
remeber we still haven´t seen peanut after HIS hug experience
*shivers*
errm… Yes, we have.
The wolf cubs are the most huggleable after Tarot.
same to me
Did anybody else notice that one of the tags is “dry guided tour”?
You may now begin to fear.
Rick wins forevererestness forever for that
yeah
(don’t think of disneylands *its-a-small-world song*… idiot!!! )
Whatever you do, DON’T think of a purple rhinocerous dancing the macarena.
… in bed.
TO LATE
NOW SOME CLASSICAL MUSIC WITH IT AND MY BRAIN TOTALY GIVVES UP HGIUDRZUEWDZCCDUZCDUZCDUZCDUZCDUZCDUZWUXV
As the actress said to the bishop?
AAARRRGHHHH! XDDD
May God have mercy on your soul. oh man that’s awesome. thanks Rick!
They’ll need a “Ferris Wheel’s Day Off” after this…
I see what you did there…
NOTHING MAKES SENSE ANYMORE!!!
Nothing is awesome. I want to huggle nothing.
So Sasha is nothing? Makes sense
ai still want 2 huggle sasha
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Affirming_the_consequent
*Gives phonti a cookie*
…3, 4.
“tell me that you love me more.”
What song is that? Now it’s stuck in my head.
You mean it used to make sense?
“Nothing is better, nothing is best.
Take heed of this, and get plenty rest.”
lol
I wonder if they’ll try to claw their way out.
Just like my dog does when he really wants to go outside.
Looks like Bino is in the last panel.
Sasha knows she’s goofy. So she’s not really goofy, she’s just drawn that way.
Is this a reference to what I think it is?
NO! Not PATTYCAKE!
Yes.
Is it just me who imagines Rex’s voice as sounding exactly like Sgt. Hatred from The Venture Brothers?
I do now that you mention it.
Do you imagine Peanut to sound like Dog from “Catdog”?
To be honest I imagine it more like Dean from the Venture Brothers
Does that make Tarot Trianna?
or perhaps grape…
lol Triana’s voice definitely fits Grape better XD
See? Tunnel of Love. ;P
“And remember, this is ME you’re talking to.” x3
the horror the horror this is worse than going thought the trials of Jigsaw.
building ferris wheel underground: 1,000,000 dollar
audio track: 50 dollar
the sound of Bino sceaming: priceless
>:)
i have to admit, that would be pretty bad, unless you like history….and err…ferris wheels
come on everyone like ferris wheel
I guess I’m not part o everybody.
Me neither. I’ve never been on one.
I’m not scared of heights, so much as I’m scared of falling FROM heights.
Ledges… Don’t even get me STARTED on ledges…
*shiver*
How about glass-bottomed structures? (Ex. the Grand Canyon Skywalk).
I have a hard time with the glass elevator on the Space Needle. I can only assume the Grand Canyon would be worse.
Me too.
I’ve never been one to trust glass too.
Go cardboard!
Dull really. After all, most of the point of a Ferris Wheel is the view around you, looking down at everything, and getting a bit of cool breeze high above everyone else.
It’s not like a roller coaster in the dark, where you’re constantly being surprised.
Perhaps the Ferrets have attached the required educational material to the most pointless rides, so that as few people as possible will be bothered?
though I wonder if the underground scenery is like a night view?
yes, an occasional board of light would pass by but this is a theme-park themed theme park.
The underground might be the lost graveyard of ferris wheels. OoO
Peanut looks like he entered comatose during the ride.
Here’s a picture.
what kind of inhumane creature would make that audio track? TT_TT
A ferret. Duh.
Or a dead mouse tied to a stick . . .
Snack time!
wut abbooouuuttt….. squirril taide 2 ah stick? :3
It could be worst. It could be “A Small Ferris Wheel After All”.
love the mouse over caption for this one xD
The alt text gives a very grim tale of how long the ride might be.
What is the alt text? Reading from my iPod!
City Ordinance 611B, BY ORDER OF THE MAYOR all profit-based recreational parks, buildings and sites must have no less than five percent of their facilities devoted to educational content. May God have mercy on your soul.
I dub thee, large park ride, as “The Labyrinth of Love
of Ferris Wheels”.
Its dangerous to go alone…
dangerous indeed….. if ur unloved an u go alone in deh “ride” den u coud become self-conscious if u arn’t alreadeh. hmmm wonder if Rex became self-conscious?
curious thought… and I love the pic you have there… Dusk of Faux Pas, another good comic.
Wonder if the pair will survive with thier sanities intact…. Roll for mental save.
Bino: 4
Sasha: 6
DM: both failed you go neurotic.
How would you tell if they failed?
the DM was using the 10’s dice?
I was wondering why Sasha seemed to have changed color, then realized they’re not in an open gondola… there’s tinted plastic about the capsule.
Of course, if the gondola was open then there might be more than a few casualties at the end of the day.
must comment with LOL. Made me laugh. I’ve gotten good at laughing VERY quietly at work now.
So you would be LOQing?
That might be a correct acronym to use. But I think LQ out sound better.
allow me to quote Demitri Martin:
“LQTM – Laughing quietly to myself”
My brother would suggest LUB for Laughing Under Breath. =)
Rex scared of teh dark noooooooez dat cant beh cuz if it were true ten it would also beh true dat Rex sings songs an bakes cookies around Christmas time… oh wait weh saw hem do dat so den if Rexxie does do dat den he mus beh afraid of teh dark too.
Trust you to find a scary picture in Faux Pas.
I love it!
Not her scariest…
Dusk could do worse.
D:
You read housepets AND faux paws?!?!
I saw your avi!!
Dusk! I iz a n00bz!
I know just a little misstake I’ve been reading through the series for
Like the fiftieth time. I love it.
@ puddy
omg puddy ur… avie is … uh *still starin at ur avie* uh… um it’s a-awesum
It’s from http://www.ozfoxes.com/fauxpas.htm … which is a great strip.
Actually, I think it was more of a rude comment by Bino, being Bino, as Rex was actually terrified by the dry guided tour than the dark.
Like running out of a river and being called hydrophobic when there were actually piranhas in the water.
It could have been worse… they could have gotten stuck on its a small world for about a hour with the same track going at disney world!!!! the horror!!! Or they could have gotte stuck on… was it the house of progress with the guy talking about hos ice box over and over and over and over…..
Whyyy!!!
New avatar his name’s Vinny the cat!
Is this better?
SAVE SASHA AND BINO!!!!!!
OR JUST SASHA!!! XD
WIN !!!
also i agree … bino could learn a few things
Well, at least it sounds partway interesting…
…
…though roller coasters through the ages sounds like a much better subject…
The Swedish military coasters from the beginning of the 30 years war were amazing, especially after the Swiss battle clowns adopted them to transport their pie ballistas.
http://www.theweebsite.com/garb/norris3/n3_p07a.html
[typical Swiss battle clown]
Its a small world after all, its a small world after all…
Nooooo!
[hums chocobo racing music]
Is that Mogri Forest I hear?
Quickly! To the link!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sujtfe7Tsro
Or better yet! To this one!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cB-r0lZdnkQ
I don’t think it’s working, you need to sing louder. I’ll sing back-up.
IT’S A SMALL WORLD AFTER ALL!!!!!
IT’S A SMALL WORLD AFTER ALL!!!!!
*hit by crossbow bolt*
I REGRET NOTHING!!!
*dies*
And he wouldn’t have been able to even scream out that if you would have only used one my patented “bolts of live squid”.
Maidavme =)
at least it’s not playing “It’s a small world..” lol
try gettig stuck on the ride for a hour…
It would be permanently drilled into your brain
…and secured tightly in place with 9″ rivets
. . . with hot glue.
Even hearing it once gets it drilled in your brain
It can’t be as bad as Justin Bieber, unless Justin Bieber is actually in there.
That would be MUCH worse…
I agree, it would be suicidally inducing….Wait did I say that right?
ai dunno, but ai want justin bieber to jump off de aiffle tower ¬_¬
It’s Justin Bieber’s voice on the audio soundtract, with back-lit images brought to you courtesy of the folks who designed the “It’s a Small World” ride.
lol.
*Reads alt text*
Darned City Regulations!!! x_x
Ferris Wheels with snuggles… I wanna try :3
*wai* *2*
MUAHAAHA!
I used to have this old video as a kid that showed me how they made theme parks.
THAT was rad.
The terror of repeating education!!!!! O_O”
BTW what could they possibly see on an underground ride, are there shows or stuff? (Yeah I know it’s for snuggels, but besides that… now I sound stupid. XP)
As Rick has mentioned, the ferris wheel passes by light boards with pictures on them.
So the question-answer to your question is how big are these boards and what do they contain.
Oooh… interesting, thx for the info, but now I can’t get my mind off of what those pics are. XD
You can go and check Argent’s posts below, the ferret’s got an iron will to be going through the ride for quite a number of times.
It’s fascinating. I’d never heard of the Maori Battle Clowns and their Haka-Ha-Ha war dance before.
Just how many times have you been riding that wheel?
It’s lonely work, me and my orange soda and a whole lot of aspirin, but someone’s gotta do it.
Permanent braindamage is too high of a price even for such great knowlage…
So go and take those pills with soda somethin more safe… like on a construction site. X3
*hic*
I thought the Guided Tour of Ferris Wheels Through the Ages was the name of the wave pool.
as you exit to your right you will see a lawyer with a contract for you.
“Here we have the bamboo and silk wheel from the Fun Park of Emperor Bozhou, of the Honk dynasty. This wheel was known to have collapsed on two occasions, but it was rebuilt by the Ritual Clowns each time. A ride on it was one of the trials required for employment in the Fun Bureaucracy.
“The short-lived Honk reign was cut short by the Serious Rebellion, the Fun Park was destroyed by fireworks, and Bozhou’s red nose was ground to powder and scattered over its ashes.”
I lol’d. Well, it was kind of a snicker, I guess, but I suppose it counts.
It was funny.
Added it to my blog. Top hit for “Emperor Bozhou” in Google.
The amazing thing, really, is that there WERE any other hits.
You deserve it, Bino.
Sasha, panel 1.
Win
“This wheel was to have been built by Archimedes at the command of the king of Syracuse, but it was converted into a defensive engine during the Roman invasion. Cicero claims that it was captured intact and shipped to the Circus Ludicrus outside the Emperor’s Summer Retreat near the Roman city of Florence, but there is no contemporary confirmation of this story.
“Leonardo da Vinci is said to have spent several years attempting to recreate this wheel during his residence in Florence, due to the popular tales about its abilities: it was supposed to be able to cloud minds, raise the dead, and reverse baldness, but of course later pictures of the great inventor clearly demonstrate that he can not have been successful in this endeavor.”
“During the Derp period after the collapse of the tower of Babel, Ferris Wheels where frequently seen among the great cities of the Feral Crescent. Ur, Um, Huh, and Duh needed great building projects to show off their growing prowess in the new languages (which still had simple, quaint names like “Huh”, “Hurr”, and “What you say?”). Obviously the traditional works like towers and pyramids were considered to risky, so theme parks blossomed among the towns and villages.
“The primitive state of irrigation obviously made waterslides and wave pools impossible, but the engineers who survived the Babel disaster were able to quickly improvise Ferris wheels and drop towers from their memories of cranes and scaffolds.”
ferret say what?
Is that a name of one of the cities? Or is it like What?
There’s debate over whether “Anchor What?” was part of a city-state amusement complex, or a religious training facility like those found in Central America. Traditionally it was said to have been founded by a lost vessel from the great Queng-Hohoho flotilla of military and merchant clowns from the Honk reign, but Whattish historians now argue that the Risible Emperor was inspired by their ancestors instead.
The name, of course, refers to a classic Whattish practical joke involving a rubber anchor.
So we’re going to see the what?
I don’t know.
third base!
“The ferris wheels and other rides of Precolumbian Central America did not long survive the coming of the Europeans, and only their elaborate foundations remain. These were no amusement parks, instead the rides were tests of courage and skill, with spiked logs and huge stone balls released onto the tracks of their wooden coasters in praise of Hahahapocthli and Ticklecoatl, the feather boa.”
Fascinating. Do some people disagree whether or not these ancient tests were made or introduced by aliens?
You mean those great stone balls? They were obviously originally volcanic in origin, produced by geode-like crystallization around a seed, and only a small number were actually finished to trophy quality for the emperors and high priests. The average WeisGei or NyukNyuk monk had nothing more than a common boulder to show for their death-defying ride.
“The wave driven Armadillol was an Ancient Spanish Ferris Wheel which was originally designed as an automatic sea salt extractor. Its base frame is a paddled wheel with the paddles aligned 90 degrees off the usual paddle wheel design. Using hoisted pumice slabs the wheel collects sea water and dries it during its 2-hour cycle. On the way down, the salt is collected by people called shakers who shook the light slabs of the freshly-made salt. One time, one of these shakers got caught in the rising wheel and due to his acrophobia, he was unable to jump from the three-foot fall to the sea. Despite his bewildering fear, he claimed that it was the best 2 hours of his life and even went for another round. The inventor found that converting the wheel for recreational purpose would earn him more in a day than a year of selling sea-salt and he promptly did so.”
“An interview with the inventor’s descendants gave light on the mysterious name of the wheel. From his diary a record said that one summer day, while resting near the river, an armadillo accidentally grasped a branch as it was curling up and rolled into the river afterwards, only to get the branch stuck in between some large river rocks. The armadillo continued rolling in the water to which the inventor replied ‘LOL’.”
Is Sasha ever _not_ adorable?
I don’t think so
It’s the end of civilization as we know it!!
Quick! Save the Comic!
