I know this is serious but man I love that last panel. “Expository dialogue and a feeling you’re being watched from a distance of inches away” just killed me.
Also I wonder what the movie was.
Of course they can’t call it a MegaVirus because that’s the beings Servo and company fought on one of my guilty pleasure fan vices, SUPERHUMAN SAMURAI SYBER-SQUAD.
I wonder if the combined diseases merged into a “Lionvoltronitis” strain or a “Vehiclevoltronitis” strain. In any case, I dunno, this is obviously foul play. Feddyg? A *traitor* working for Feddyg??
And by the way, there goes another mention of an awesome adventure we didn’t got to read ¬.¬
*points to his own eyes with index and middle fingers and then points to the writer and the artist with those same fingers*
Or the Hand could be behind this.
Finding a cure for some Super-duper-Bizarro virus would be good PR.
Least better than the previous stuff they’ve been up to.
@Don’t Bother
I had to go back and look. I had thought it had looked more like a stage show when that strip came out but Shanna does call it a movie. *shrug* I still hope he accepted more than one part.
I’m getting an Elite Beat Agents vibe from that last panel. Is Jared about to cry “HAAAAAAAALLLLPPP!”? If Friday’s update includes a troupe of dancing men in black to keep Jared on track to contain this outbreak, I’ll be a happy man.
I don’t know if this is my mind taking a horribly low-brow approach to what’s going on, or if this was completely intended….
It’s ‘Voltritis’, like Voltron, of course.
Matching the diseases with the corresponding colored lions, that means
Black Eyed Penis syndrome = Black Lion.
Keith, the pilot of the black lion would always end the ‘form Voltron’ sequence with…
@Moebius, there’s a four-year period in Fans history that’s pretty much FULL of adventures you didn’t get to read: Rikk joined AEGIS not very long after the events of “The Ways The World Ends,” and he and Rumy had set up their training program after about the end of the first year. I feel like it’s fun to let you imagine the stories we can’t show even as we go through the ones we can. And it’d be unrealistic to expect the pace of crises to slow down during that time.
You know, I want to make more witty comments, yet some primal part of me only wants to put up comments reading “PEEEEEEENIS”. I won’t fall to such animalistic urges, however. Poor Buhzim, though. We lost him.
” I feel like it’s fun to let you imagine the stories we can’t show, even as we go through the ones we can. ”
funny, because what I feel is like when my “friends” talk about that super awesome party I never knew about.
I guess it`s just this feeling of entitlement that comes from having read this guys adventures for so many years. I feel cheated :P.
But I guess I cant complain. I’m having fun reading comics for free. Thanks anyway T.
Lets the plague spread.
Guys, the “REDACTED” thing isn’t that weird. At least, not in the various works of T Campbell. I just finished an archive binge on Penny and Aggie, and he did that all the tiiiiime.
The ‘1 of ?’ and ‘2 of REDACTED’ is just T-speak for “I haven’t finished the script for this whole sequence, so I’m not sure how many strips it will take yet” =)

The one where he played Seinfeld, probably.
That bad a containment breach, someone must have been lion down on the job…
Well so long as they don’t got Captain Trips stored in there, I’m good.

As long as eyes stay off the penis, I don’t think there’s much to worry about.
Now, if you start being able to view the world through your genitalia, that’s the time to panic.
The coincidence of it happening when Jared is there is kind of suspicious. Just a bit.

Well, we know Robeast-ussin (Robitussin) won’t lick this virus.
What?! *Someone* had to go there.
PENIS
… will form the head.
yes Buhzim, we all got it.
Is that someone hanging themselves in the far corner of the second panel?
@Taospark: Holy! You’re right. Well, now I feel kinda bad about the smart @ss comment I made.
Fun fact: I was an extra in a deleted scene from Contagion. At least I got to be in the same room as Laurence Fishbourne!

Or, to put it another way, “nyah, nyah.”

I didn’t pick up on it until the second read through, but I love that Jarad is communicating through his own glasses.
Also, the background details on Panel 2. Yeouch, things are not going well, are they? It’s gotten downright Dead Islandish over there.
“Black-eyed PENIS syndrome”?
“2 of REDACTED….”?
Okay, now you’re just screwing with us. Where’s the real update?

Quick, someone call Wil Wheaton. He’s got to tell Jared not to be a dick. ( “But Wil… I Am!” “Jared, that’s just the Black Eyed Penis talking…”)
I don’t even want to contemplate the symptoms of “Black-Eyed Penis”.

What is this? There are no females in the facility at all? Females aren’t smart enough to work there or what?
On the contrary. Females are too smart to work in a facility that contains every nasty virus and bacteria known to mankind.
