what we need ... science
« on: October 08, 2004, 04:53:21 pm »
Odd request. I started reading the strip about a week ago, and I was looking through the shirts for sale and fell in love with "What we need more of . . .is science." I bought it but I cannot find what story arc it's from, and frankly, its weird getting a shirt that I don't "get" fully.  I love the shirt on its own merits...mostly I'm just curious. Could any of you waste five minutes of your day and perhaps point me to the right story arc/date?

Oh, just a snazzy catchphrase. That's cool.  Thanks.

It is as you say.

One of the charms of the strip is the distinctive voices the characters have.  Their phrase constructions are as unique to them as Invader Zim's semi-random syllabic emphasis is to umm.. Zim.  The slogan has the same sound to it that Beef's in-strip shirts have.  "It is impossible to have a good day." etc.  There was also a Songfight contest with Achwood's science slogan.

indeed.  i think onstadt's ability to have so many distinct voices, and especially now with the blogs, is impressive and distinctive itself.  so many webcomics' characters all sound very alike.
