what happens if they don’t walk left or right, what about forward or back, or up it would appear in this strip that they have been moved to a 2d world yet Lemmo was walking forward somewhat in the beginning of this, and I’m going to assume that due to all the stretch marks that the universe is going to be expanding again, but since it seems to be at it’s peak of stretching that it may rip, but in this strip, it’s moderately thick and unfolding which could suggest that both of their minds effect the universe rapidly. Now as for what happened to the other characters and what events are yet to unfold is a mystery

So there’s an end to the universe now? Cool. Now what?

Or that the universe not looping feels normal. Which also makes sense.

By: Shirasong

Shirasong — Sat, 10 Jul 2010 06:21:44 +0000

Oh, and by the way, I’m pretty sure Aric is saying “that feels more normal” because being wrong feels normal to him, not that seeing Lemmo get hurt felt normal. Because that would be just sad. (if true)

And here I am, silly me, trying to figure out who Walter is in this story. I feel like he is somehow going to have something to do with Lemmo and Aric. Anyone have any ideas?

Oh no will our young adventurers ever go back to their whimsical cookie battles and mist people with explosive penguins and enourmous flying bugs with golden shovels and people who regret being named and cute little foxes with juice machines that regenerate body parts and wierd but helpful robots that like to coalesce

Darn, there goes my theory of them being stuck in the tiny bit of space between dimensions where quantum theory is no longer a theory.

“Whoops. I was wrong. That feels more normal.”

is Aric just being mean and enjoying Lemmo being in pain, or has he gained new powers (if the theory that Lemmo and Aric are the Gods of the universe is correct).

Sadness? THIS IS BLANK IT
And it looks like our protagonists have been in some cyndrical rock unfurling and twisting in a black void of darkness?
IT’S A TRAP OF THE COOKIES AND PERCILES VAN MUGGET!!!
and there should be more events happening in these panels than walking and outdated figurative language

Also all you guys are great story analyzers espcially Renee, Socksbot, and CheetahBoy7 !!!

Heh. Spoonerisms made me think of someone I’m very fond of that I miss terribly.

And she’ll probably never read this.

Sadness.

Why are you people obsessing over spelling? I mean who cares if “the ‘öe’ is funny looking”?

I know, I’m a hypocrite but still.

By: NoriMori

NoriMori — Thu, 08 Jul 2010 15:56:43 +0000

@Renee

Except “Crystal” wouldn’t yield “Whistle”, it would yield “Whisttle” (with the T pronounced), which as far as I know isn’t a word. Still funny as hell though. XD

And I didn’t look at the title until you pointed it out…yeah the “öe” is funny-lookin’… But the only reason I know that “ö” and “oe” are interchangeable is because of the name “Amon Göth” (from “Schindler’s List”). In the movie it’s spelled “Goeth”.

Anywho: Is it just me, or is their universe getting smaller? Maybe that’s the reason for the wrinkles? Are they stretch-marks from the super-fast shrinking?

I think we’re seeing their dreams.

First we watched Aric’s sequence, revealing his inner interpretation of his relationship with Lemmo, how lemmo made aric feel.

Now we are seeing how aric makes lemmo feel.

They’re going to be SO surly with each other when they wake up.

By: Renee

Renee — Thu, 08 Jul 2010 13:59:15 +0000

Also, not typo: spoonerism! ^_^

“I broke the CRYSTAL on my WATCH” yields “I broke the WHISTLE on my CROTCH”. (That one was actually in one of my linguistic books)

Spoonerisms are fun.

It’s weird because just before I read this strip I was actually thinking about how time and space loop around eachother on our own universe.

By: Renee

Renee — Thu, 08 Jul 2010 13:50:30 +0000

Hey, Ringworld! Sorta. :)

If you’re gonna spell Moebius with an ö, you don’t need the ‘e’. the ‘oe’ combination denotes the ‘ö’ sound, though English speakers like to pretend it makes the ‘ay’ sound, for some reason.

There’s everyone’s German lesson for the day.

Wait, he said “Dosh Garn”…
Typo?

cheetaboy7 — Thu, 08 Jul 2010 12:59:54 +0000

This reminds me of when I was in elementery school and the universe was explained. Though there should be an end at some point we cant help also thinking, “Well what comes after that?”. It looks here like they created a wrinkle in time (or the universe).

Also kudos for not having bad language.

Interestingly, Aric and Lemmo’s role reversal from the end of the previous story arc seems to be keeping up – originally Lemmo was the one who just went with the flow and was right about things – he’d try something just because, it would work, and then Aric would try it and fail. (Ie: walking on water – perhaps he failed because he questioned it too much?) Now Lemmo’s started questioning things, Aric’s decided to just go with it, and as a result, Aric is doing things that Lemmo is unable to duplicate.

Also, neat representation of 4D space – the people inside of the 3D subset think they’re looking in a straight line from inside, but from the outside you can see it curving around. Maybe this is also the reason for all of the cracks?

@Ryan more like refurling if you look at the sequence

By: Ryan

It’s unfurling!

This to me looks like a win for the canvas theory but I can still believe in my epic dream theory
