This strip is a riot. I don't know which one of the 6 boxes to choose as an avatar. I'd love to hear the conversation prior to this.

Keene - "What you're holding, is a tablet"
Karishad (perplexed) - "How do i swallow it?"
Keene - "You don't"
Karishad (concerned) - "IT GOES IN THE...."
Keene - "Not that kind of tablet! It's a small computer which was once the revolutionary answer to clunky underused libraries but has since reduced itself to a cheap I-Pad!"
Karishad - "Oh i see, question?"
Keene - "Yes"
Karishad - "Will I go blind?"
Keene - (walks away without answering)
Spike - "Seriously, a talking Dog is the weird thing about all this"

Me - "Not at all, the fact that you're a dog and not a lizard is much weirder"

Oh Karishad... :lol: This is why I love you. This is also the reason why I'd rather not have you live in my house... but it would be totally awesome if you live next door.
Heellooooooooo!! Anyone who wants to talk to me, please do. I get lonely sometimes and I get scared whenever I talk first...

Only Kari would misenterpret something like this.

(Also, Kari? Is he now a DigiDestined?)

Yep, I wondered the same thing -- I guess that's an indication we're paying attention. But obviously, this is a one-off.

Or is it?
Xane wrote:*giggles his ears off*
The laptop said "Press Escape" so Kari locked up the French coffee press before it was too late.
Having worked in IT for years, I get this one a lot. It used to be, "Press Return key," and the customer would call up complaining that their keyboard didn't have one of those (alternately, the Enter key, same issue).

In its later years, the old newspaper comic Bringing Up Father (oh, look it up) by George McManus had all kinds of crazy things going on in the background -- literally. We're talking, tiny burglars making good their escape -- from a painting on the wall. Readers would eagerly follow long story arcs that could last for more than a year, interspersed with one-shot strips. Rick follows a great tradition here; some of his story arcs are recurrent and may skip months or years before returning. I suppose the 'trope' is the Brick Joke made popular in George Herriman's Krazy Kat (you can look that one up for your self). Instead of zany background antics, Karishad (amateur proctologist) and Tiger Arbelt (understudy for G*rf**ld) supply the filler silliness.

Actually it's more like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KNJ1B_2b17s

Daryl is playing Metal Gear Solid. Hence the exclamation point.

Seems to me that Karishad is still a little hopped up on sedatives from the last time he appeared in the comic.

I'm getting a bad feeling that this has something to do with Daryl owning a razor and shaving cream.

I guess Keene should've taught Karishad more about electronics.

By the way, does Daryl hang out in the Milton mansion more than any of the wolves do?

that wasn't the mansion, it was a strip mall down the road. If it was the mansion, it wouldn't have been a surprise when Keene was behind the war

Simply put he's trying to say that Daryl has a bare spot somewhere from shaving and that was where Karishad touched him

It should be noted that we cannot be sure EXACTLY where Karishad touched him

From his reaction I'm pretty sure a good guess can be made where he poked him, having nothing to do with shaving. :P

If you read it top-to-bottom and then left-to-right (From ? to click-clacks to probably priceless vase to ! to steam and finally to *beep*), then it is quite clear why he was touching the steam, he was sterilizing his finger! :mrgreen: (never-mind that he's doing that over today's lunch!)
