It’s Luigi!
“that’s MAMA LUIGI to you!” XD
“THATS PRIVATE Elliot to you, 7Ance!”
It’s Lance. X( can’t you tell? Lance was taken. maybe I can change it.
Seven Ance. err, doesnt look like Lance to me. OH YOU MEAN LIKE ITS A UPSIDEDOWN L….
Upside down L? So he’s Walance, then?
(I’d have posted to PrivateElliot’s, but the “reply” was removed somehow.)
Wouldn’t it be Tance with 7ance?
Lance = 1ance
Just saying. . .
How about “Fur-de-Lance”?
Worse. It’s Weegee.
Not Waluigi?
Why does nobody pay attention to Lu-WEEGEE?
MR. BIGGLESWORTH YAAAAYYYY XD
With a metal bucket on his furry head lol XD
Why must I laugh so very hard at that?
Dont worry i laughed to Death too XD
Wow thanks for ruining the surprise. i was neck deep in conspiracy theories leading me to the possibility of it either being Weegee, Mr Bigglesworth or Mecha-Hitler!
The announcer was a Mr. Bigglesworth, so your conspiracy theories are safe.
but which bigglesworth is it?
Ghahahaha
Rex racer
No that’s Racer X, who is secretly Speed’s older brother who ran away several years ago secretly.
And as a diehard NASCAR fan I love this strip.
I should do something to you for correcting me, but I am a kind and gentle Carmine.
It was a joke. If you want actual corrections go back to the last strip’s comments where I called Bino “Fido.”
STILL we chastise you for your errors!
Allow the chastisation to begin!!!
Oh, the shame! The SHAME! Wail! Moan! Lament!
Yes!!! ALL THE SHAME!!!
In this corner, weighing in at a mere ONE-hundred and twenty POUNDS we have Elwood Blutarky.
And IN THE OTHER CORNER we have the MASTER of DISASTER, HE who BRINGS the PAIN, UNRELENTIIIIIIIIIIING… SHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAME!!
LET’S GET READY TO RUUUUUMBLEEEEEEE!!!!!
oops, that should be “SHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAME!!”
In honor of my new announcer avatar, and whatnot.
*KOs shame with one mighty punch*
I get paid to watch sports, I have no shame.
But what’s this? Joker out of nowhere with the STEEL CHAIR!!!
Go Karts! Think Joey’s there?
I’m there. does that count?
well that depends r u joey or sumhow related?
points to Gravatar
hmmm… touche
NATANI!!!
I’m sensing a cyclic nature to your avatars…
and just wut dus dis cycle sugest
Well, you had that one avatar before this one, then Natani, then another one, then another one, then back to the first, now back to Natani, so I’m guessing that you move from one avatar to the next in a predetermined order.
Possibly.
OHSNAP THEIR BACK. HOLY CRAP I AM BACK
Haha thats win… much much win
who is that mysterious racer?
I don’t know. Lets Ask him Mr. Bigglesworth, err i mean MYSTERIOUS RACER SIR,
lol i bet his full name is Ray Sir Bee
ha haha haha…
just let that sink in… i’ll be over there…
I… wait… wha… OH! I see what you did there!
*grin of childish glee*
Took me a moment… a moment I am ashamed of…
either only a few people got this… or it’s to stupid for most to reply to…
Or it took them this long to look at it.
You are very punny sir I3
Some say he can hock a hairball faster than a Dodge Viper goes 0-60 and that the sand in his litterbox is of course taken from the gravel trap at the Nurburgring. All we know is he’s called Racer B.
Pet Racer!!!
What’s that about?
Speed racer! GO SPEED RACER!
Accurate even to the car number.
Now, which is more fun – being the announcer or being one of the drivers?
Driving is more fun as long as it’s not a shut-out.
The Rick has spoken. I would rather announce, since i would crash a bunch,
Not a Bumper Cars fan I take it?
Nah, i wub bumper cars, but only if they have turbo boosters with two 50cal machine guns on them. What only me?
I just dream big a hoist a rocket launcher onto the roof
I stopped riding bumper cars after I lifted one of the ground from a high-speed collision. The face of the *ehem* arrogant kid on the lifted car was priceless though.
If you don’t mind me asking:
How does one go “high speed” with bumper cars? Unless you were going in a beeline straight for the kid, one end to the other?
Take to the open space where people are not runninng on, get an accomplice who would bump boost you with a bumper car spin and take advantage of any natural incline of the track.
@ PrivateEliiot: That would be the coolest game ever, as log as the machine gun was full of paint balls
Same here
but crashin iz fun as long as u don’t die or get huwrt
STOP STALKING WEIRD. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND. We need a Sonic Id Furreh translator.
translation: But crashing is fun as long as you don’t die or get hurt.
THERE HAPPY?! >:(
yes i am happy. Thank you for caring
i probly can translate what sonic says since i can speak bad grammer and 1337 ;D
OK soooo manix will now be mai new translator fer does uv u who aren’t smart enough to figure out wut ai said :3
You realize you just offended pretty much every non-gamer, non-texting, and non-1337 person out there, right?
WHICH isn’t actually THAT many people…
Ahem.
One must be wiling to accept the possibility that some members of this literary community are not enamored with the fashionable use of deliberate misspelling and strategic replacement of letters with numbers that has become traditional (if such a new practice can be dignified with the term ‘tradition’) among those young ladies and gentlemen in question.
Speaking english is preferred in the comments.
yes but speakin english iz no fun
I know two and a half languages! It’s always fun to talk at people with words they can’t understand.
: P
I’m fluent in English and Rubbish, and I can make myself incomprehended in Gibberish when necessary. Ewe jest after reed de tart lawed, Ann eats play NASA no son yerf ace!
and as long as you don’t get the turtle kart.
I would have to say announcing that would be more fun. Chug of orange soda everytime you have to say Bigglesworth
You are too late… The AUTHOR HAS SPOKEN!
Now, if it is more fun to drive, we are left with why this Mr Bigglesworth is not doing so! Do glasses disqualifty him, or is this Mr Bigglesworth the only one with glasses because none of the rest of them want to admit that they need them, and thus they are not qualified to be the announcer?
They only have so many karts on the track
Ah, derailing rampant speculation with cold talking-animal comic-strip reality.
My apologies for driving off with one of the so many karts.
I took number 38
Lol the Bigglesworths how unexpected
Yup That’s HP for ya expect the unexpected! ” Thanks Rick
When you expect the unexpected the only unexpected thing is… the expected!
Which is the unexpected, thus making you still unable to expect the unexpected due to not expecting the expected that should have been expected.
Are you making a new email address for every reply?
Now that you mention it, no. Just one for every ten or so replies. . . No. . I think each time I liked an avie. . probably. . No. . Fine, *sigh* Yes.
At least that avie fits your grumbling.
Aye aye, sorry for grumbling. Had to program 4 programs, prepare a presentation, write 3 final papers and I’m currently finishing a pseudo-contract to which I say “FEH!”.
Feh is good. I enjoy saying “feh”. Scott Adams, however, encourages one to exercise ones scruples in cases like these, simply because “scruples” is so much fun to say. Go ahead, try it. “Scruples”. What fun!
Where’s THIS avatar from? I’m curious.
Umm, Hypergenesis’s, that is.
But if you accepted the expected unexpected as being expected, then the accepted expecting of the unexpected expected would be unexpecting the accepted expection of the unexpected expection. Thus causeing your entire point to contrdict itself.
Unless, of course, you simply say that anything could happen.
Fall of the Pridelands – Yeah I Only Read It Ironically, {05/01/09} Panel 3
The C language standard explicitly states that in certain cases anything can happen. For example:
“In short, you can’t use sizeof() on a structure whose elements haven’t been defined, and if you do, demons may fly out of your nose.” – John F Woods in comp.std.c
Go, B-Racer! GO!
But you could’ve gotten daisy in again!
But don’t you see? The mysterious Racer B is…in reality…DAISY!
DUN DUN DUUUUNNN!
LE GASP.
butz musterious racer b isn’t smailing or haz black fur
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand you killed the joke.
Oh, I dunno. She could have a really, really, really good catsuit. Then she could be lumped in with joey’s creepy friends!
Daisy has a face-morphing catsuit?? D:
And when you got multiples of them, you can honestly pull that off.
Go speed go! =D
lol, at the Speed Racer nod.
OHH! AHH! Mysterious racer B who do you think that is HMMMM?
Do my eyes deceive me, or does Racer B have a helmet on while his helmet is under his arm?
0.o I believe u r correct! =O
mabeh der gluvs :3
Day r gluvz. Nu dout-bout it.
That’s a feat only achievable by Master Cheif!
But Mr. PYschojoker, Biggles pulled it off. He is, The Master Chief.
What was the point of mispelling psycho? My tag isn’t mispelled. And if he is Cheif, where’s Arbiter?
he took out all the other carts for chief!
That makes complete logical sense
That’s Master Chief PETTY OFFICER to you, psycho!
Er, that’s a mask dude.
your face is a mask. Okay sorry about the
awesomefail insult. But you might be right.Oh yeah? Well my mask is a FACE! So THERE!
So under your mask is… another mask?
“Peter Sellers: The Mask Behind the Mask”
And under that mask is ANOTHER mask, which is painted to look like my face.
And under that is fake mustache.
If your face is a mask, that means you’re a ferret. Or a raccoon.
or a kamen.
or in Western terms a power ranger or a masked rider.
Heck, superheroes even fit that bill. . .
except superman, his real identity is a mask. . .
Clark Kent! Clark Kent! Can’t supervillans who can find the rarest of all rare materials/weapons not see through glasses!?
Kamen just means “mask”.
Exactly!
(The other one never did come out. =( Moderated)
Wait, your face is a mask because you’re a mask?
Put your analyst on danger money, baby.
Well if that’s what you look like, and that’s the only way you can appear. Then that must be your face, if seen from the front.
But then, how do you reach the pedals?
The earstraps! Flexible yet durable.
Your string of avatars is perfect for carrying on a conversation!
And you pop in like a reporter carrying out a man-in-the-street interview, just to add spice to the mix!
[Would you believe a ferret-in-the-street interview?]
If I can believe those plastic people with prewritten scripts in the Great Plastic Screen, formerly Great Plastic Tube, then I guess believing a ferret-in-the-street would be a very big improvement.
Besides, ferret or cat or man aside, there’s the glasses factor. Glasses people are smart. I think. . .
Hello, we’re doing a sentient-organism-on-the-street interview!
Where do YOU stand on the giant crossbow versus catapult as a method of transportation issue?
Also: cargo, jeans, or laderhosen?
Stay tuned, folks, because at some point in the near future, we may have a surprise interview with someone in this very room! We also may NOT have that interview! You’ll just have to lurk and find out!
Yo
dawgkat, I herd u liek helmets…… so we gave you a helmet to put over your helmet so you can protect you head’s protection
But what about that helmet?? D:
No one cares, dawg
go pet racer, go pet racer, go pet racer GOOO
GO GO BIGGLES GO GO BIGGLES.
Ah, References.
YELLOW CAR! (it’s a game)
Yellow buggy punch no punch back!
and the croud goes wild..
…yay.
Okay, so I must wonder two things.
1. Is that Mr. Bigglesworth actually a Mr.? And
2. What is the name of the Go-Cart track?
Did anyone else notice that this is the third time the Go-Carts have been mentioned in the strips? Perhaps Rick is trying to tell us what he wants for Christmas, hmm?
All of them are named with the prefix Mr. Even the Females. What do you expect? They are owned by a crazy cat lady.
well his b-day iz actually closer
ENGLISH.
well, his birth-day is actually closer
above was a joke. But who is this HIS. whose birthday are you talking about.
weeeeelll abuv anubis said “Did anyone else notice that this is the third time the Go-Carts have been mentioned in the strips? Perhaps Rick is trying to tell us what he wants for Christmas, hmm?”
then ai said “well, his b-day iz closer”
Ah, okay. Makes Sense.
good
ENGRISH is better. Iz like a code, no? +, u can cre8 cer10 wurdz ^ that dun even ex!s7.
Engrish. Can you speak it?
The name of the go-cart track is “Sushi Bar”.
That would make the green stuff that looks like grass wasabi.
Watch out for the tako musubi, it’s slippery.
So you think that’s actually egg roll #9?
Actual sushi themed cars, that would be awesome.
Dibs on the tekka-maki!
Toro sushi for me.
I’ll just take the California roll….
(sings) ♩♬ “I wish they all could be… California rolls!” ♪♬
Welcome, to the Hotel California…
Mysterious Racer B is in the tags. Will he/she/it show up more then once? ONLY TIEM WILL TELL
That’s probably just part of the gag. This is a clever one, it’s one of the Mr. Bigglesworths but Rick deliberately shows it’s not the recognizable one with glasses. We know what the secret identity looks like, we know who is he/she is but we have absolutely no idea which one it actually is which only increases the humor.
Awesome
Great Kitsune. I have no doubt in my mind that Mysterious Racer B is Great Kitsune.
wut.
Yes.
This.
Is..
Sparta!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No.
This! Is! MADNESS! I am LOST!
THIS! IS! MADNESS! YOU! CANNOT RACE IN THIS RACE!
MADNESS? NO! THIS! IS! NASCAR!
Wow, reply malfunction.
.noitcnuflam ylper ,woW
Watch out for racer P!
It appears that Mysterious Racer P is trying to run Mysterious Racer K off the road! But wait! Mysterious Racer T Is coming to the rescue! Mysterious Racers T, G, K and B have boxed in Mysterious Racer P!
The Mysterious Racer Race looks to be all buy over folks! Oh, would you look at that! Mysterious Racer M has taken Mysterious Racer G’s place in the box, leaving Mysterious Racer G free to take the lead, AND THE FINISH LINE!
WHAT an AMAZING finish, people! The Final Round of the Mysterious Racer Grand Prix has ended with Racer G in first, followed by Racer T in second, and, out of nowhere, MYSTERIOUS RACER S HAS ROCKETED IN FRONT OF RACER P AND TAKEN THIRD PLACE!!
UNBELIEVABLE! YOU COULDN’T MAKE THIS STUFF UP, FOLKS!
But of course, you did!
I love how announcers in cartoons will always, without fail, at some point say something along the line of, ” You can’t MAKE this stuff up!”
haha. this one was great. my question is: who is the announcer?
No, ask why he’s alone.
or why he/she is wearing glasses.
No, Ask Hypergenesis which comic he got his Hoey Avatar from.
Fall of the Pridelands – “and Now, You Can Never Unsee It” {3/25/09}
Panel 1
aah, okay. Thanks.
Haha, I just went to the strip and noticed that his “coffee” cup says “I can’t believe it’s not chocolate”.
I have to admit, I lol’d.
Rick,
Thank you.
I love Mario Kart, but seriously. Thank you.
why the thanking?
why not to thank?
For sparing us (me) of the Mario Kart joke.
If only this comic were animated, you could make the mouth movements awful to drive home the speed racer joke.
IF i had a tablet… i do have flash… Ehhh
I have a tablet, but I don’t know how to use Flash (I’ve tried, and it just gets me all confuzzled).
I’m sensing the beginning of a beautiful Internet-friendship…
Hey, you stole ilovehousepets line. He said that to MEEE FIRST
I know he did. I’m sensing the beginning of somebody ELSE’S beautiful Internet-friendship, though.
I thought Rick had animated the occasional strip.
…when?!?
Great Googly Moogly, I don’t know!
I did?!
I guess I was misremembrifying.
Great Zot, what a blunder!
Simply be grateful that your shame be not nearly as bad as confusing Bino with Fido.
: P
Am I dragging that out too much? Probably… Oh well.
o___o
Unbeknownst to Bigglesworth, racer B is actually his/her older brother/sister, Bigglesworth, who ran away from home many years ago after he/she had a falling out with Pops because he/she crashed the Mach 1, the first racing car Pops ever built.
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh O_O
OMG! I laughed so hard I had to go outside!
In the middle of the night?
Yep! I work the graveyard shift, my co-workers are often treated to hidious cackling laughter comming from my office at first break due to this comic strip…they all think i’m bonkers or something lol!
You sure they’re not right?
Trigger Catch-22!
Actually they ARE right, they just don’t know it yet
ai’m 2 tired ai’m goin to bed good night mai peeps -_-
*sigh* no1 ever say good naight 2 meh anymor
Hey, comment thread is for the comic, not idle chatter and such.
Yeh, we don’t worship idles here!
Inquiring minds want to know, why are you such a responsible moderator?
But before you answer that one, this reporter has a personal question: Pronouns. Where do you stand on them?
You can’t stand on pronouns, they’re small and pointy.
HOW MYSTERIOUS!!!
WHO IS HE(/she)?
Scenario 1: It’s Mr. Bigglesworth disguised as Racer B in an attempt to stop some sort of crazy conspiracy taking place within the world of auto racing.
Scenario 2: It’s Fox disguised as Mr. Bigglesworth disguised as Racer B in an attempt to stop some sort of crazy conspiracy taking place within the world of auto racing.
Scenario 3: Coop went to Disney World.
Nah. Fox is pretty much anti-cat things. Also remember the pridelands story arc when peanut tries to explain his preference to bino and the group.
More likely, it’s one of the bigglesworth’s tired of being called bigglesworth and is going rebellious individual. The owner is more likely going to probably have to get different name tags at some point or other.
Scenario 3: *Theme Park World!!! The happiest place on Earth, on Earth!!! Unless you’re Coop accompanied by mr.kat.
FALCON PAWNCH!
weren’t you trapped in a ferris wheel or something?
well you know there are ways to escape o_O
http://www.housepetscomic.com/2008/06/30/okay-fine-some-escape/
yes, there are, Grape xD
Wow, there were only five comments on that strip. I guess Housepets has gathered a lot more readers over time.
It surely did, but I wonder what % of the comments are made by the six most talkative commentators.
My oh my, gravatar / email fail.
Btw, I see you’ve gotten yourself a second gravatar as well.
A third as well! But yeah, a lot of the comments nowadays are made by just a few people.
please press the big red shiny button to launch the ejective seat
so THAT`S why I went in this tour *bleeb wooooooosh* WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
that could be a Mario Kart joke in some, vague way…
(hint: unlockable in Mario Kart Wii)
It’s probably Joey in his newest catsuit.
but no1 can replicate ah Mr.Bigglesworth D:
yet, der r so meni uv dem…
Victoly is his!
Mr. Bigglesworth, panel 3.
This arc is a veritable goldmine of large-mouthed avatar material.
Y’know, I may not be able to tell if it’s a boy or a girl, but what the heck. NEW AVATAR YAY!
I remember seeing like 3 episodes of the original speed racer when I was little. There was one with a guy who only rode a horse because his son died in a car crash, and he had his henchmen cut everybody’s brake lines, and then they cut his daughter’s car’s brake lines, and speed racer saved her.
And there was one that involvel him getting stuck in a swamp.
I watched probably half of the whole thing when I was little, can’t remember anything except for the super traction tire armor, the jumping car, the monkey with matching boy, and the grand prix that always came to me as round three.
I liked wacky races batter. . .
I think you’re my new best friend on the Internet.
You could have done both rick, by making racer B win by using a blue shell :V
Or a Bullet Bi(gg)l(esworth)
or Bullet B. . .
ahhh anti-climactic reply joke
Oh man this definitely brings me back. I remember watching that show 15 yrs ago when I was just a kid. Looking at this reference makes me smile just thinking about it. Thanks Rick for that brief walk down memory line.
But where is King?
There, in the background, next to Waldo!
You’re going to get Ilove(insert) here started again
That would be a great bumper sticker for our DBA.
I LOVE INSERT;
The semicolon is important.
He iz Racer B of course!
Whoa, nice costume. Joey must be jealous.
who is Racer B secret id?
unbeknown to Mr. Bigglesworth, racer B is actually Mr. Bigglesworth, Mr. Bigglesworth’s long lost older brother who Mr. Bigglesworth believes died in a freak racing accident.
Guess who it is… GHOST NAPPA!
DBZA FTW
I just reviewed the map (see: http://www.housepetscomic.com/2010/08/09/you-are-here-but-not-all-there/) and I noticed that the Go Kart Track (Sushi Bar?) was not there!
Upper right, in blue.
Isn’t that the Resto-Coaster?
It passes against the path so it must be a rail attraction, or are the carts actually free to roam around the park?
Oh, wait they are. Silly me, I was riding one all along.
It tries to include the end-parenthesis in the URL, dunno why.
http://www.housepetscomic.com/2010/08/09/you-are-here-but-not-all-there/
It’s because a drunk ferret was typing on the keyboard. He forgot the ” ” before the “)” and since close parenthesis are allowed in urls, the page now thinks the drunk wanted to put it there as well. I guess the ferret got programming hangover that he forgot not everything had parenthesis set recognition.
You know, with the Bigglesworths, that’s actually a legitimate question. Sure, we all know it’s *one* of them, but which one?
RACER B!
Lawl.
A moment ago I was washing my face when I realized I looked like Racer B (without the pose).
Just got out of the bathroom and still laughing ridiculously to myself.
Hilarious and ironic.
Is it sad that I nearly fell out of my chair when I saw that?
Guys it’s not mr.bigglesworth. its actually max i a mr.bigglesworth costume!
No, I think MRB is a girl Mr. Bigglesworth. The only girl Mr. Bigglesworth. =P
hmmm posible… very possible…
it could also be joey and his amazing Siamese fur suit!!!
After my comment on reaching the pedals… I wondered… are these special small cars sized for cats?
Why worry about cats when you can worry about us ferrets? *hic*
1. There’s no ferret in this strip.
2. If I was going to waste time worrying about ferrets I’d never have time for anything but worrying.
1. Good Point
2. Be sure to stock up on orange soda.
A pint of prevention is better than a pound of cure, but what better way to cure than a gallon of orange soda?
Emperor Bozhou should really guest star in HP. Hee hee hee. . .
geeky bigglesworth is cute!
But wait! Someone has just knocked out Racer B with a Red Shell!
But unknown to Red Shell chucker, Racer B has already crossed the finish line and is now hogging the screen of infinite confetti. Driving leisurely as the other racers raced around the track hoping for their place-rank to change.
besides racer B was holding a banana peel behind him so the red shell crisis was avarted!!!
Will Racer B’s true identity ever be revealed?!?
Stay Tuned!!!
I love this comic. I truly do. Is there anything more to be said?
Personally, I believe this is my new favorite strip out of this comic. It’s hysterical to those that understand the references x3
“It Was Either This Or A Mario Kart Joke”
Either way, the joke pwns. Such confusion, such epicness, such mystery!! XD
Ummm well never played Mario kart, but also never saw… What’s this from again? That Speed racer thing right? Never saw that one as well and I say both are equally funny as hell. I just love these “Too obvious to tell others who it is without feeling ashamed for being so obvious.” moments. X3
well ifts not bigglesworth than how bout Joey… er i mean de cat dat looks like joey……?
Oh, that one cat with the spot over its eye?
yeah…. it is joey after all way back when somebody introduced joey only his cat self with the spot over his eye to Grape…….
I forgot the little, um, whatever you put at the end of a comment that isn’t really sarcastic but which is kind of… I don’t know the right word.
‘Twas but a jest, m’dear.
temherte slaq
dont know wat to call it either…… hmmm guess sarcasim fits….?
Something like “(?)”, do you mean? Hm, it’s not quite sarcastic… sort of humouring the person with a question that doesn’t need an answer… Rhetorical?
But yeah, maybe it is Jo-I mean, that other cat with a spot over his eye. (Wasn’t he… could have sworn he was orange last time I saw him… must be my bad memory…)
I just noticed, he’s wearing my glasses!
Hey cool!
You “Borrowed” Them!
Here’s photographic proof I had those glasses in 2007!
http://www.sluniverse.com/pics/pic.aspx?id=139865
Actually, I made them in 2005, but that’s the oldest pic in Snapzilla that shows them.
Wow speed racer references ftw
impressive work
Okay, I’m going to take a wild guess and say it’s Bigglesworth
It’s mr.bigglesworth who is racer B.
Honestly… What do you say to this comic? O_O
I like this webcomic and plain on comeing back every update. …. it is AWESOME……
well, its not a human…
…are you suurrre?
yep, it looks more like blarbbal the undescribably purple blob of purple-ness
Ha! But you HAVE described it with the word “Purple”, thus making it only mostly-undescribable!
obivously, Rick did draw a picture of him xP
???
nope, definitely not
Clearly it’s The Stig who’s…well actually we’re not sure if he’s human either.
I’d call for a F-Zero joke, but “Bigglesworth Punch” Sounds choppy… DARN YOU OLD WOMAN WHO OWNS THEM!
I was chasing a train of thought, and got to Tiger Punch, which led to Tiger Uppercut, and there would have been more but the train tracks ended at a cliff.
its Mr. Biglesworth
Weird.
I found this to be incredibly amusing.
But, why…?
“Do not try to bend the comic for that is impossible. Instead, simply try to realize the truth.”
“What truth?”
