I wonder if Lemmo will rush over and help Aric out of his make-shift stocks before he falls and does a faceplant. If he does, he better start moving now, and quickly.
“anxious jr. the third.” best. name. ever. I love the lat panel, but what’s with aric’s face? is that an “AH HA!” face or more of a “HOLY S*** I’M GONNA FACEPLANT AND IT’S GONNA HURT!” face?
Squishing between the boards was an interesting (if sickening) solution to this problem. Sadly, the problem had more components than he knew. Nevertheless, while it ended badly in classic Aric style, it was a very Lemmo solution. I wonder if they’re gonna solidify. They may not, which would leave us with this new superpower to ponder.
I’m looking at the whole “they aren’t quite solid” thing and wondering if they are going to have to stand on each others’ shoulders to reach something, Aric of course having to stand on top, only to squish Lemmo, then Lemmo stands on Aric just fine due to his previously-displayed walk-on-liquid abilities.
Thats great. Aric forgot how to go with the flow again and now hes going to face plant. lol. Mr. Booming Voice is certainly being annoying though… Just get on with it!!
@Aric Well, I used “see” as a very unprecise term. It’s more like, I want to see where the story goes next, or something. I dunno. It’s too hot to think and I feel like I’m about to acheive a gelatinous state much like Aric and Lemmo.
Also, if he’s the third anxious jr, who’s the first and second?
Clearly Mr. Loud Voice is speaking through an intercom. Clearly. Thus, the being talking could be a stick of celery and still sound like a robot due to a low-quality microphone and speaker. Clearly.
Mr. Anxious Jr. the Third. Hahahaha. I’m gonna remember that one. This comic made me laugh quite a bit. Aric’s & Lemmo’s expressions are priceless in that last panel.
I’m thinking the glimmering light which can be seen thru the cracks of the box might be a clue to what’s outside… Perhaps something similar to the glimmering hamlet people? (maybe the unnamed lady is trying to help them out)
Oh Aric…don’t you know you’re supposed to actually listen to the disembodied voice unless it mentions death, torture or experiments? It’s the only way to unravel the riddle without being the first red shirt down.

Bad things happen in this universe when people are named.
August 5th, 2010 at 3:18 am
So…. The board is sentient?
August 5th, 2010 at 4:10 am
While the whole ooze-thing is totally awesome, part of me is just like “get on with it already! I want to see who’s shouting!”
Also, i see wut u did thar with the title.
August 5th, 2010 at 6:57 am
You think you’re going to find out who is shouting. That’s adorable.

it’s a “OH GOD I’M STARING INTO THE BOTTOMLESS PIT OF HELL” face

What if aric was turned solid again while he was still in the board, and they have to go to the shovel beam again, restarting the whole process again!
August 5th, 2010 at 11:18 am
If that side of the box is indeed falling, than what is on the other side? Is it more box or something far worse?
Also, I like the font for the “squeeze” effect. I’m sure Mr. Anxious Jr. the Third would be proud.

Aric : Horray
Lemmo : Yeah!
Aric in the third panel : Oh No!
*SMASH*
August 5th, 2010 at 2:39 pm
Fourth Panel I mean
August 5th, 2010 at 6:46 pm
I believe it’s a robot shouting cause of the font

“Oh, you think you want out, don’t you?” I’m pretty sure that means that robot voice knows what’s going on outside.
August 7th, 2010 at 8:39 pm
Aha! I have it! The box IS the voice. Race of sentient box people, totally it.

Despite all his rage he is still just a rat in a cage.
Or a putty man in a wooden box, but that’s beside the point.
August 9th, 2010 at 1:19 am
Still think it’s the penguins, they were always kind of a-holes
August 10th, 2010 at 8:40 am
Hahahahahaha love this comic!
November 26th, 2010 at 10:30 pm
jeez that wooden box has got some attitude!
July 28th, 2011 at 11:43 am
WHO IS THE VOICE! THIS IS STILL NOT EXPLAINED!!!

I see what you did there Mr. Aric. Well played, well played. Still, my curiosity is insatiable.
