Sort of odd... I had been drawing omegas all over my sketchbook yesterday-  I have a dorky teenage obcession with it and I just sort of had it stuck in my head... so props to Onstad for the mind-reading and what not.

I hope we have a week of impossible Tetris soon. I'm loving them.
Or even better, we could have a week of impossible games...
No, I don't know either... It's early...

I reckon button 4 has to be Malibu and Coke, and it turns out Mr Bear has a nasty secret. Well, that being the nasty secret.
I don't think he'd have a NO2 kit on his car.

I think that a Right-hand drive Cooper Mini with an NO2 kit would be excellent! I vote for that. Although the doily cannon is pretty excellent, too.

Switch 1: Shoots out tacks/nails like in cartoons when Mr. Bear is feeling especially mean.

Switch 2: Shoots out spare tires in case he feels guilty.  Which he will.

Okay, kids.  I'm laying down the law.  

no more "first post!" posts

What the hell, people?  This is not /.  If you have something to say about the comic, fine.  But please don't make it into a "who can stay up latest and refresh Onstad's page the most times" contest.


Eep!  I hope I'm not implied here.  
Honestly I was joking about the 'not being first forever' thing ..hah.
Usually I'm just up late and when I send the email off to my mom concerning the comic, I come here to see if there's a new topic and if not, I post it with the same comment I make to mom ..all innocent really :)

Oh yeah, The Guest went and googled Ardbeg for mom; I was amused that Michael Jackson was in the definition; I don't know...
Proof: Founded 1815 ; Operating Status: mothballed 1996; reopening soon.  The distillery may have is origins as far back as 1794 [and was reputedly originally the hideout of smugglers]. It was definitely operating by 1817.  It is a fine example of a traditional malt distillery, and most handsome.  After a short period of closure it reopened in 1989, to the delight of enthusiasts for Islay malts. Its own maltings, which had a distinctive design, did not reopen.

That's a different Michael Jackson.  It's a pretty common name.

Indeed. Controller of BBC2, now heading up Universal in the US - Michael Jackson number 3...

Doomglobe, I had a game that was much the same concept as Welltris, called Blockout, on one of my first computers... I think the 486.  It was brutal, but I dont know if it was ever that bad.

Sorry - can I use the noobie excuse?  Guess I have an advantage being on this side of the Atlantic.  But I've got one so I'll be happy forever.  And from now on will endeavour to provide erudite and witty comments or discussion on this fine strip.


Promise.  :yinyang:

Eh, don't sweat it.  That was more of a general "this is getting out of hand" sort of post rather than a smackdown.  Trust me, when the smack is laid down, you will be more than aware...  :twisted:

Oh, and...welcome aboard.

The impossible Tetris game...that's just the kind of day dreaming I have on a long stressful car drive, by myself in the middle of the night. Just thinking up abstract impossible situations....and stuff....

In computer science, the big omega represents a cap on the complexity of a problem, no instance of a problem is more complicated than the omega function.
