A lost opportunity for a STAR WARS Reference

UPDATE: For those of you interested in increasing your dose of Fishy goodness, head on out to your local comic book shop and snag a copy of Scott Kurtz’s PvP! Issue #38, from IMAGE Comics, just hit the stands and contains 4 and a half pages of guest strips I’ve contributed to Mr. Kurtz’s fine strip. EVERYONE need’s more ME in their lives, so run out and buy a copy NOW!!!!

And as for today’s strip, the line Dandy’s forgetting is, of course, “I’ve had just about enough of you! Go that way! You’ll be malfunctioning within a day, you nearsighted scrap pile!”

Just because I know the line by heart, doesn’t mean DANDY does.

“Lazer Sword” Duel

While I’ve done this kind of thing MORE than once, it’s always a hoot to draw. Now, there was a VERY similar virtual reality game at DisneyQuest called “Ride the Comix”, where you squatted on a little weird stool like the ones seen here with a handle that, in the game, was quite essentially a Light Saber. In said game, you didn’t duel other players, but rather in-game monsters and the like. It was REALLY fun, except that you had to hold down the button on your light saber to keep the blade up, and when you did so the handle VIBRATED… a LOT. Try keeping a tight grip on something vibrating intensly for three minutes. I thought my hand was going to explode, it hurt so much to keep that dang sword on.
