Nothing says revenge like Khan in Star Trek II. I know, it’s an old saying, but come on, who says it better than Khan? Bingo, man! KHAN!! will also get you served much faster at a restaurant if you don’t’ get thrown out first. Safety tip from you’re ol’ Uncle Byron.
😀
Having done this once or twice. All you can really hope for is that they’re so smashed that they won’t remember it…otherwise, hangover revenge is likely.
Love it, truly do.
Khan’s best line for me – “Time is a luxury you do not have.”
And if Ranger Two is Bud, is Ranger One Jeff (or Bud horsing around even more?) I just want to get it right for putting into the search engine over at WordOwl.

Er, it’s, uh, “KHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN”.
Welcome Harlequin! Cool nick-name! Yes, I learned to run as fast as I could after incidents similar to this. Luckily, I was a pretty fast runner in those days…
🙂
RE: WordOwl… It’s the other way around. Think of when the astronauts talk to Mission Control… they start off with “Houston, we have a problem.” They start the communication by identifying who they’re directing the transmission to. Thus, Bud is Ranger-One and Jeff is Ranger-Two.
RE: Canuck-Errant… Yep, rinse and repeat as you fade into the echoes of space!
🙂
“Khan – I’m laughing at the superior intellect.”
Okay, I’m such a f**king moron sometimes! Even my SPELL CHECKER was saying “Hey, old man, you spelled Khan wrong!” Thank you Canuck-Errant for pointing out this very embarrassing and very irritating boo-boo!
I got rushed yesterday as a client’s freakin’ PC self-destructed and I arrived to find out that the “back-ups” of the data they had been making were on the same drive where the original data was stored, thus NO DATA AT ALL when the system drive explodes. Oops. So, add to that snow during rush hour and it amounted to me rushing a bit to get this comic done.
Oh, just to remind me of my mistake, I left the URL alone, so forever the comic’s URL will be spelled wrong. 🙂
Sweet, wet revenge. Shame about the doobie though.
Ricardo Montalbán was just an awesome villain. Even when he was a space-hippy.
Best use of Web 2.0. Ever.

Man, was Shatner ever “acting” in that scene as he yelled “Khaaaan!!” Those eyes say it all. Of course, since he’s talking on a communicator, where exactly IS he looking? The caterer’s sandwich bar probably…
“From hell’s heart, I stab at thee. For hate’s sake, I spit my last breath at thee.” – Kahn Noonien Singh
BTW – Love this comic! Got a buddy @ work hooked on it.
And the art gets better and better as the days roll by… 🙂
(And not only because of the excellent Robyn. The first-person perspective is really great! The details on clothes and objects, the shading…first class!)
The ACME at the slingshot…heheheh!
And the “TCH” really make me laugh. 😀
Thanks Lord_Beavis! (Great handle, man) Spread the word and ye shall receive… a Laurel & Hardy handshake! (Thank you for that Mel Brooks!)
RE: ferabreu… The “TCH” part was the hardest part about this one. Simplest sounds are the hardest to “write” out. I love sound effects and think Bill Cosby used them to great effect in his act, but spell them out… man, what a pain in the arse.
I mean, how do you spell out the little static noise you hear when you kick in a walkie-talkie? Where’s the comic strip artist bible for that one! (I’m sure there is one, but damned if I know)
BUT I digress! Thank you very much for enjoying the comic! I can have a really crappy day and always enjoy my work and reader comments for 1977 to cheer me up! Very cool, man!
🙂
OH, one more Khan quote…. “Let them eat static!”
I laughed out loud at that line the first time I heard it. Love it!
Keep ’em comin’ folks… 😛
Of course, some of us remember Ricardo Montalbán Pitching cars in commercials! Have a few on Tape from some old Monday night Football games. Luv this strip, look forward to the song references(Quote from my oldest “Why does this LP say 78 RPM?”) and the Short term Memory destroyer (mothers words for weed) situations. Were we really that laid-back and carefree? My youngest can’t fathom a world without IM and IPods!(in the background saying “and text and starbucks and …….”). No worries though, my oldest(23) listens to my Ted Nugent and BTO CD’s, so he has some taste.
Till next strip!

Hey! I just wanted to say a special thank you for bringing back the original theme and quote… the weed leaf and the “life, one toke at a time”. It has made me really happy! This is such a great comic, it doesn’t need any changes! I’m going to tell all my friends about this comic… they’ll love it!
Oh yeah, and LOVE the Christmas-y guitar!
Now the next strip, that’s the one I’m waiting for. 😀
Rader_geek: Who, of our era, can forget Montalbán selling Chrysler Cordobas and fine Corinthian Leather! Now, those were commercials!
Yes, many “youth” today are amazed how we survived with ONLY like 4 or 5 TV channels (PBS and UHF) or that houses even had ANTENNAS back then. That recording albums on cassette for the car stereo was our i-Pod! Oh, Sony Walkman was our hero for portable Hi-Fi! It was a carefree time and I think its time we, as a country, actually took a moment, shut everything off and took a long hit on a good joint for one minute. I think the world economy would rebound simply from everyone getting the munchies!
Wow, I can see the headlines now…
Hey, thanks for being a fan and thank you for your comments! It keeps me truckin’, so to speak!
😀
RE Carey: Yeah, I couldn’t get rid of the original logo, just made me happy too.
Spreading the word is fantastic! That’s what it is all about!
Thanks for reading, man! (I love the guitar header too! Makes me wanna play again!)
🙂
RE Ebenzer: AND you shall have it too my friend! 😀
heh revenge is best served cold(or wet)no worries about the doobie though itll dry out soon
heheh awesome comic.
Also, you shold totally play again 😀
If I had the cash, I’d get a new bass and amp… I so want to play again now that I’m “reliving” my past via the comic. They were fun times indeed…
😛
