02/03/09 [PF #54] - Well, at least he's taking it well.

[Jairus]

Might as well start this. If you want me to change it to match Friday's date, I can do so.

Seriously, how hard is it to say "You're an android now?" Either than that... well, the thread header kind of sums up my feelings regarding Dorcan's reaction. And those double panels on his chest remind me of... crud. I can't remember the name of the anime. I wanna say "Guyver," but I'm not sure. Anyway, the panels opening on his chest reminds me of that. Yeah, deep, I know. And... yeah, he seems to have become a lot more buff since he died. For some reason, I'm vaguely reminded of this little adventure. Except a lot more PG. I can imagine Daryil saying something like "You know, if he's going to be immortal, you might as well make him buff!"

Oh, and glad that you're feeling better, Bro.

If you've been in SAIA for 450 years and have no clue what "android" means because Beings were still using wooden carts to travel when you went in, it can be a bit tricky...

As for the chest, it was supposed to be a single panel, but Ren wanted two.  IIRC it was a reference to some anime, but since there's hundreds of those and I only know the name of 3-4 of them, I can't help you there.
Ironically, although it doesn't match the original text, it does almost match the early concept art for Dorcan as drawn by Cameron.

And... yeah, he seems to have become a lot more buff since he died.

I was wondering whether anyone would pick that up as a glitch in the artwork.  I never did work out what I'd say if that happened.

For some reason, I'm vaguely reminded of this little adventure. Except a lot more PG.

Bizarrely, Gabriel's Thoughts posted almost exactly the same joke after the original story was published.  He didn't illustrate it though.

Yep, I wanted his chest to open up that way to resemble the "Guyver". ..Except some "Mega Smasher" jokes in the future..

And... yeah, he seems to have become a lot more buff since he died.

He's got upgrades.

[Jack McSlay]

wow, what do they have 3 guitars in a lab for?

When they are not reviving the dead in that lab, they are recording music there.

..But actually, I'll leave it to Tape to answer.

Pretty much.  I'm still dithering as to whether it's an actual working studio, or just where they store things and repair them.

**EDIT**
I've updated Niall's profile slightly.

I'm just saying you could have been more... y'know generous. 

...

I'm talking about his *gets hauled in by pg police*

[AmigaDragon]

They'll be reviving the Grateful Dead next.

[Brunhidden]

or they could be doing the Dr. Steel thing and trying to take over the world with an all robot rock band.... or they would if the robots wouldn't keep missing notes and freak out when trying to do a flare


i really dig dorcans pants, they look comfy

Ask Ren about that.  Personally, I think they look like they're going to fall down or something.

Actually, they remind me of Bengahl's:

You gave me a Bad Idea™.. To the Badmobile!

I walked right into that one, didn't I?

Yes. Yes, you did.

[Sofox]

I wanna say "Guyver," but I'm not sure.

You know, I thought the exact same Animé when I saw that panel, the exact same scene. It's funnier because I barely make any effort to watch anything Animé (outside of Studio Ghibli) and certainly not something obscure like that, but I just happened to watch the pilot of that cartoon in a friends house back when I went to school long before I even knew what Animé was. (He lived near a specialty video rental store you see).

Anyway, nice strip Tape. It's nice not having another character going through a panic trip through this thing. Joshua was the king of panic and we don't need another contender.

That's not to say that Dorcan is panic-free, but yes, he's a lot more collected about it than Joshua, who had an almost permanent D-face.

[Ren Gaulen]

Joshua was the king of panic and we don't need another contender.

..That reminds me that we will have the queen of panic as well at some point..

[Tapewolf]

..That reminds me that we will have the queen of panic as well at some point..

Now I'm confused.  The primary female character is Keaton and she doesn't panic that much.  Actually, most of the female characters in this are calculating and difficult to faze...

She was panicking rather much when around Daryil.

[Tapewolf]

She was panicking rather much when around Daryil.

True, but that's about the only time she does.  Usually she causes the panic...

... which would make her the Queen of Panic, in another sort of fashion...

[Pagan]

Sounds like a fun relationship.

Have a lollipop.

By becoming one with the lollipops, I no longer fear the lollipops.

[llearch n'n'daCorna]

I must not Lollipop.
Lollipop is the mind-sucker.
Lollipop is the little stick with the knob on the top that brings total satisfaction.
I will face my lollipop. I will let it pass into me and through me.
And when it has gone past, I will drop the stick into the bin.
Where the lollipop has gone, there will be nothing.
Only I will remain.

... until the next one.

  -- The Litany Against Lollipop, not to be confused with the similar Litany Against Loli.

[Pagan]

There's a Litany Against Loli?

[llearch n'n'daCorna]

It's not so much Against, as more sort of Falling Into...

[Mao]

There's a Litany Against Loli?

Lolicon.

[Tapewolf]

Oh crap, I forgot to credit llearch again.  Sorry, dude.

[llearch n'n'daCorna]

Hehehehehe.

I'll live. ;-]
