But that could just be me.

Ooooh! And the Lemm-O action figure comes with removeable hand and a six pack of hand juice!

On another note: is it just me, or is there starting to be less dialogue than there used to be? I don’t mean that in a bad way, and there’s still just as much going on in each panel; it just seems like there’s less and less being said, and more being shown. Maybe it’s just me though. I’m gonna go grab some Aric-O’s before I head out…

New! If you mail in 10 box-tops of Aric-O’s by next month, you get a FREE Lemm-O ACTION FIGURE!!
ACTION!!!!

:P

Aric, though? Now he’s a weirdo ;P

Also, the shadows in Canvas behave strangely…Lemmo’s shadow is below him in the 1st and 3rd panels, while the window (yes, I will now acknowledge the lamp/windows to be windows now) is away and behind him.
The shadows are indiscernable in the 2nd panel, so I won’t comment on them.

Judging by the feet, Aric and Lemmo are running (they have both feet off the ground) while the cookie is walking (both feet on the ground clearest in frame 3).

That or we’re all getting way, WAY to into this comic.

Also, Cookiecarrier who carried cookies against their will is now (presumably) being carried against HIS will.

3 things can be possibly learned from this.
1: Conspiracists get doublepunishment, relative to cookie-carriers. and
2: Cookie law has some punishments in the form of “eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth”, as seen as Cookiecarrier now being carried.
and
3: Carrying cookies seem to be taboo in cookie culture. This is evidenced by (1) by prisoners being forced to carry dummy-cookies (flour sacks) or actual cookies (in Conspiracyguy’s case), and (2) being imprisoned for carrying cookies against their will (in Cookiecarrier’s case).

Anyway, WOO! Great strip guys, this one was hilarious.
As usual.

I have my own theories, but I’ll hold them close until the next strip.

Oh, who am I kidding? here’s what I think:

Eric and Lemmo are going faster than the cookie doods.. why do I say this? Because the cookie carrying the cookie carrying the (I’m going to call it) flour has both his feet in contact with the belt while Lemmo is clearly taking longer, presumably faster strides–both feet are off the belt at the same time (if only briefly).

I think that Hedwerx got it right that the punishment for carrying a cookie against his will is to carry a surrogate (which is rather amusing hehe).

I think that the wanna-be over-thrower has to carry another cookie for 2 reasons: 1) it’s just as hard (if not harder) as carrying the flour. 2) by carrying the cookie who carried cookies against their will, he’s taking away the ability of that cookie to actually carry anything, let alone another cookie. (since he’s not moving of his own accord)

Or it could just be an amusing way to get more characters in scene ;)

Aric and Lemmo have probbly been given more to carry since they’re bigger and also have the stigma of not being cookies.

Been reading from the start, first post though. Brilliant stuff! makes me look forward to Monday and Thursday.

And is it just me? or is denying to give help to the king bring about a harsher punishment than trying to overthrow the king? If the number of surrogate cookies is an indicator of harshness, by cookie standards.
