Re: X-Mas break 2016-12-23
I misread the title as 'X-Man Break".
I thought "What, a Marvel / WS crossover? Fan art of mutants? Something REALLY strange?" Then I reread it, and thought "Oh."

I'm sure Dietzel and Squirrel Girl would get along swimmingly.

Monday's update might be a little late if the news I'm getting from Weather.com are accurate about the snow and ice Iowa got over the weekend. Lots of car-wreck induced power outages.

You mean, after all this time of writing about and dealing with the paranormal, and he still uses electricity to produce his comic?Opus the Poet wrote:Monday's update might be a little late if the news I'm getting from Weather.com are accurate about the snow and ice Iowa got over the weekend.

Maybe Greg and Al need to pay him a visit, and set up his computer with an alternate power source...

I'm hoping that, by "Rabbit," which I noticed is capitalized, you are referring to the vehicle...
There is no such thing as a science experiment gone wrong.

Re: X-Mas break 2016-12-23
No. It was a Lanthian "device", which Al and Greg tried to analyze in Al's shop, in one fanfic. I will not state its actual purpose.Alkarii wrote:I'm hoping that, by "Rabbit," which I noticed is capitalized, you are referring to the vehicle...
Re: X-Mas break 2016-12-23
In this context, "Rabbit" refers to a nuclear-powered Lanthian artifact that was introduced in one of the fan-fiction stories. It was small, extremely powerful, quite unstable when discovered, could have melted down a city if Our Heroes had not gotten it under control, and was probably the least appropriate use of nuclear power for a technological device that has ever been invented in the history of the Universe.Alkarii wrote:I'm hoping that, by "Rabbit," which I noticed is capitalized, you are referring to the vehicle...

I dunno about nuclear, but the thingamajigs (black and white) certainly qualify as some sort of inappropriate use of some kind of technology...Dave wrote:In this context, "Rabbit" refers to a nuclear-powered Lanthian artifact that was introduced in one of the fan-fiction stories.

But it was 'impervious to bodily secretions'... that's not good enough?Dave wrote:In this context, "Rabbit" refers to a nuclear-powered Lanthian artifact that was introduced in one of the fan-fiction stories.
