That is so awesome! So is that an actual event that happened earlier in the story? The one with the hand on his head and Lemmo yelling “Holy Crap!” and all? Love how that’s all been tied together!
Oh yeah! There was a flying object the last time this happened, to. It was a bug both times (metaphorically speaking) :)
Instead of assuming this is some kind of a time loop, maybe this is somehow a new Lemmo and Aric. After all, Socks is now a turtle. Maybe the two new characters picked different names?
Stream of conscience: maybe there is also a bug flying over that will somehow stop Aric’s fall (rise?).
I love the parallelism. Almost the same, but not quite. I seem to remember Aric got most of his clothes off shortly after this point the first time through. I wonder what Marina thinks of apparel theater.
@MarshmallowRadiation If that’s the case, then are there a bunch of shovel beams? We’ve always considered it to be just one, and it was the only real landmark. The idea that it might not have been the first one is almost scary, though it does explain how a civilisation was created in a few minutes around the beam (they had been there for much longer), and why the shovel was a different colour when Van Mudgett had it.
It’s an alternate dimension! There isn’t a bug, they’re wearing different shirts, and the fox is a turtle! And I think the alternate Lemmo has his old hat.
Most likely, nearly every event is repeated an infinite number of times with slight differences. It’s quite likely if every Aric and Lemmo is exactly the same, and only their clothes are different.
This leads me to wonder whether the Aric and Lemmo we know are both the same ones we met in the beginning, or if one of them is a completely different Aric or Lemmo

It’s a loop!!

Apparently the “go-anywhere tube” was also a “go-anywhen tube.”
Was Marina’s “what is time” comment foreshadowing? Who knows!

Mirror universe!

Why doesn’t everyone have goatees?

Wait, what?
What in the where what now?
November 28th, 2011 at 4:13 am
… what?
November 28th, 2011 at 7:38 am
there is so much that is different from the commic before where Aric got his head hand burned off. like how socks is now a turtle? and their shirts.
November 28th, 2011 at 7:44 am
Yay alternate Aric and Lemmo get a tortoise friend, awesome :).
November 28th, 2011 at 8:19 am
Omgomgomg whaaaaat the f***????
I was so confused until the last two panels. Now I get it and I’m just like “HOLY CRAP.”
November 28th, 2011 at 9:56 am
…What is this I don’t even.
November 28th, 2011 at 10:06 am
Holy crap indeed.

haha! I missed the really surreal aspect to this comic. It’s back!
November 28th, 2011 at 11:24 am
Now THAT is comedy gold.
November 28th, 2011 at 2:39 pm
I had to go back and read the comic all the way through again to remember all the different parts of today’s comic.
November 28th, 2011 at 3:11 pm
Mind blown…. Brains, everywhere.
Also, I’m pretty sure robo-puppet took control of Aric.
November 28th, 2011 at 4:28 pm
Now the parasox and the turtle shall join forces and take over the comic with their adorable awesomeness!!!
November 28th, 2011 at 5:07 pm
Turtle! Yay!
November 28th, 2011 at 5:42 pm
I am loving how the turtle is jumping just like the parasox in the last frame.
November 28th, 2011 at 8:31 pm
Uhhhhhh, how do they know it’s a shovel?
November 28th, 2011 at 8:58 pm
The world is spawning more Lemmos and Arics. This is delightfully odd.
I wonder if everything happens twice.
November 28th, 2011 at 9:33 pm
….Turtle…. Lemmovest…?
November 29th, 2011 at 12:04 am
It’s the same, but different…

@Canada maybe it’s a new shovel beam that the new Aric and Lemmo created, not the old one.
November 29th, 2011 at 10:26 am
Regardless, THIS should be interesting.

Mind blown o.O also lol at the turtle version of sox
November 30th, 2011 at 5:32 am
Maybe they ARE in a sort-of-repeating universe after all?
November 30th, 2011 at 6:53 am
It’s an alternate dimension! There isn’t a bug, they’re wearing different shirts, and the fox is a turtle! And I think the alternate Lemmo has his old hat.
November 30th, 2011 at 5:01 pm
Hey, “Aric”‘s shoes are missing, the turtle is probably shoes in this dimension.
November 30th, 2011 at 9:25 pm
Maybe they’re twins with very similar predicaments. But how did alternate Aric get the hand on his head? The hand juice machine broke.
December 1st, 2011 at 5:12 pm
This comic is the best :D
December 2nd, 2011 at 8:23 am
mind=blown
December 3rd, 2011 at 2:48 am
We have come full circle. Will we be revisiting hand-juice soon?
December 4th, 2011 at 8:08 pm
So…? It loops alternate realities or something? Because it’s the same but different…? *confused*
December 4th, 2011 at 10:32 pm
apparrently confusion in this comic is good. it keeps your brain active enough to kinda sorta know what the heck is going on.
December 17th, 2011 at 8:33 am
Hmm. Different shirts and a turtle instead of a fox.
Omg. Paraturtles later!

I think the double aric and lemmo are the dopplegangers from earlier
