Now the final frame is not the least bit ominous here. :P

Perhaps Monica's just getting used to things like this happening behind her back, only to make themselves prevalent a few months down the road.

Monica's internal monologue: "Mental note. Remember the term Jaguar Girl and something about portals. Avoid pointy things and anything Bud suggests until then."

Of course you're a super villain. The Crimson Mantis is the greatest super villain ever. That's the twist. Dr. Custard is actually the good guy.

So that must be why the Bumbling Bumblebee is so unhappy being her sidekick.

OOooH! what if what we all thought that what Monica was doing (instinctual self=preservation Poiting) was in reality her getting riddled with bullets for real, but she ended up using her own doorway to bring her self back every time? and part of the process is the healing of the wounds she had on her at the time... kinda like in DnD, when your guy gets resurrected, you end up with one hit point and otherwise in perfect health... she could have "died" multiple times with her willpower alone activating the doorway all unconsciously...

That, and being called Bumbling.

I don't know about dangling carrots. More like hanging one of those giant 16 ton Monty Python weights overhead with the rope ever so slowly starting to fray, would be seem more appropriate. ;)
There he goes. One of God's own prototypes. A high-powered mutant of some kind never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die.

Methinks M might not be quite as closed as she (and we) thought she was. As Shelly says "You are your own doorway". Or maybe the emphasis is on "your"?

The Sarge is going to have to finish this one off...

Seriously. "Think about it," but "let's not talk about that." That ain't just carrot-dangling, that's chain-yanking and button-pushing. It's a Rube Goldberg machine of apocalyptic interpersonal angst.

Good thing they're on a remote atoll.

Of course it's closed, M. Sealed tight. Never to be opened again. Right. Uh-huh. Nothing to worry about at all.

A humble offering...

Bumbling Bumblebee
*sung to "Tumbling Tumbleweeds"

The last hope of mankind
Saving the world in her mind
To my role I am resigned
Following along as the Bumbling Bumblebee

See them tumbling down
Custard cups litter the ground
Until there's no more to be found
Following along as the Bumbling Bumblebee

I know when they are all gone
She'll be moaning until the dawn

Stretched, her shimmering Dacron
Is pressed just to hold on
And I'm dressed like a moron
Following along as the Bumbling Bumblebee

If Paul doesn't drop an interlude on us. Flashback to Shelly and Phix. Or Shelly and Justin. Or Becky is getting Punk Yoga remodeled. The possibilities are endless!

Shelly sure is rocking the enigmatic Sphinx thing for all it's worth. Like grandmother , like granddaughter.

Wow, Bekka's OCD must be worse than I thought it was. Remodeling someone else's business is whacko... :shock:
