Ka-Whump! (11-21-03)
« on: November 21, 2003, 12:37:10 pm »
Will it never end? I mean, not only does this give Nice Pete a chance to catch up with Philippe, but that van's looking a little shaky. Having to right that thing with just a little otter mouth is going to be no small feat. And Philippe has some pretty small feet.

I bet Philippe misses the days when he could just hang out, standing on drum machine instruction manuals.

Strip.

Oh god!

Such a terribly terribly harrowing storyline!
The art continues to amaze me though.  It's funny how the alt-text maintains the more traditional achewood mood even when the comics themselves do not.

If there's a second "Ka-Wump" then that suggests that the axel of the rear wheels was close enough to the ground to collide with Philippe's poor victim - so by that time the front wheels should have stabalised.  I don't think there's much chance that the van will tumble.

That said - who knows how the physics of such an incident would play out when the only ballast in the van (other than it's own chassis) is an otter in a bumblebee suit?

Will the terror of this wild adventure ever end?

Ye gods.  Hitting a full-grown deer with your car is usually almost as bad for the car as it is for the deer.  If the van can keep going after that, without at least a busted windshield, then it's some sort of killer van from hell.

Which is not unreasonable, since it's Nice Pete's van.

Phillipe is probably going to pull over and have a good cry because he killed a deer. Poor little guy's been exposed to a lot of death recently (assuming the buck is dead, natch).

I'm afraid the deer's rack will get caught in the van's undercarriage.

There is basically no way Philippe is not going to end up crying and crying and crying. Maybe that's how Ray'll find him.

Burning question of the day: was this a deer with a capacity for thought? Are we about to see a deer ambulance, all employing the principle of bounding instead of rolling?

Maybe the dear is a carboard cutout, like one of the kind that would be used in a hunting quick draw contest thing, or like the ones used in police training to get the cop to shoot at baddies and not at goodies. the Kawump was from the mechanism..??  Kawump.. reminds me of a game I used to play on my TI-994a called hunt the wumpus... damn that wumpus and the slime pits!!

Rumblestrip and the bounding ambulance were so funny I almost forgot about how weird the permanent alt-text is.

This is what Philippe gets fro driving with no headlights on. I hope he's learned his lesson.

This is how I totaled my husband's car last year.  Except I wasn't driving with my mouth, and my feet do reach the pedals.  And I wasn't wearing a bumblebee suit and wingtips.  And I was driving a Ford Tarus, not an Econoline van.  And I was on a four-lane road with a median 3 miles from downtown, not a two-lane back road in Threadville.  Also I am not a five year old otter.  

But other than that it was exactly the same.

That, added to Rumblestrip made my day!
Although, I mean, it shouldn't be amusing that both a deer, and a car died, but, well... you just have a way with words!

Man, I remember hitting a big doe once.  At first I felt bad, not having killed anything bigger than a bug.  Then I took a look at my car and started kicking the fuck out of it's corpse.

P.S. By the time the game warden got there, someone stole the carcass.
