A curious turn of events, but one must wonder if this is a rescue, or simply another random twist.
Lacking anything better, I choose to presume robo-Aric has returned to investigate the circumstances surrounding the tracking device placed in his wig/hair/nanoassembly plant that’s fueled by dead skin cells.
I’m guessing its the cookie co-conspirators coming to comfort their cookie comrades and to continue creating chaos in the kingdom. Or, you know, maybe not. Whatever. I do wonder if its related to Pericles’ encounter in the…erm…wilderness as it were…
@ Stick Figure Chicken: No, it’s not.
For one, it’s a cylindrical solid, not a bag, and if you look at comic “Refugee” closely, Pericles has a black/gray/red-colored bag.
The muscle isn’t to bright is he? When a loud metal cieling vent falls to floor and you’re around, do you look at the vent or the where it came from? I don’t think it could be the penguins, because they would have fallen with the thing.
@TheBananaFish, Neither! You jump back and get a view of both the vent AND where it came from! Plus, that makes it impossible for giant red tubs coming down and smacking you in the head.
I just went back through the archives, studying the changes in Lemmo’s art style, and I’ve noticed that Lemmo’s little beard has grown smaller over the comics.
Anyone else noticed this?
@Midoriko – So it’s basically just a cardboard box and you wrote time machine on the side in sharpie?
@Daniel – Ah of course! I would be in trouble were I in that cookie’s predicament. Obviously, your tactical skills far outway my own. And as to Lemmo’s chin hair, I think we discussed the length of his hair spikes and that they seem to be growing. Maybe the hair on his head is taking from the hair on his face? Or maybe (now stay with me here; this could sound a little radical) the artists’ skills are growing and changing as time passes?.. Nah! His hair is stealing from his chin.
@TheBananaFish on Me – Yeah, I play horror stories in my mind (and it doesn’t hurt to regularly duel) and have come up with a lot of things like that to save my skin.
Oh, and yes, of course. It’s DEFINITELY stealing from his chin. Although…his chin didn’t have a lot of hair to begin with…
If you look at the SUPER small tuft of hair Lemmo has as hair in the third comic, and then the huge lance-like weapon he has on his head today, I’d think that the chin hair couldn’t nearly supply for all of it.
Then again, perhaps the chin hair is growing very fast.
@Ziggy Stardust – Lol, I never thought of that. First the L-Block, then the O-Block. I wonder what’s next…

LOOK OUT, COOKIE MAN!!!

October 1st, 2009 at 12:33 am
Oh, Its going to be a long weekend….
October 1st, 2009 at 12:41 am
It looks a little like a cookie jar. I have no clue what it is.
October 1st, 2009 at 1:24 am
This is going to make some crumbs.
Mmmmm, cookie crumbs….
October 1st, 2009 at 1:25 am
Cookie Jar Attack GO!
October 1st, 2009 at 2:18 am
It looks like a rescue attempt, but by whom? Misty?
October 1st, 2009 at 2:39 am
Not unless she turned solid.
Pericles? Socks?
Penguins?????

Isn’t that the bag Pericles had slung over his shoulder?
October 1st, 2009 at 7:41 am
Greyryder is right this is going to be a long weekend till we can see who is coming to save them. I wonder if it rains milk in the the cookie land.

It could represent the appearance of a revolutionary element in cookie society… insurgents who flout Cookie Law (the King will hear of this!).
I’d also like to make some comment about how jarring this will be to the cookie guard, but, yanno…

I had not. Perhaps beards grow backward here.
I assume you were searching for analogous red objects and came up empty?
October 1st, 2009 at 10:50 am
Nah, I was just going through the archives for a third time for the heck of it.
October 1st, 2009 at 11:13 am
The title is perfect! And so is the expression on the cookie’s face! And… and I MUST KNOW WHAT HAPPENS NEXT!
*builds time machine* To Monday!
October 1st, 2009 at 1:41 pm
What is that thing?
October 1st, 2009 at 1:43 pm
and… could I hitch a ride to monday, Midoriko?
October 1st, 2009 at 3:23 pm
See ya on Monday, Midoriko.
October 1st, 2009 at 6:02 pm
Sadly, the time machine only moves at one second per second.
October 1st, 2009 at 9:50 pm
Misty to the rescue? =D

Are they playing bloody Tetris now?
