    White Castle? Yeah, I’d go for the rats.

      whats the one (not white castle) that operates in the southeast and makes the little square burgers?

      They are wicked cheap and every single location (that I’ve seen) has been a tiny building about the size of a large pickup truck (F350 non towing non construction people must be overcompensating for something?)

        Krystal. I lived next door to one when I lived in Huntsville, Alabama. Couldn’t get the smell off of the room let alone my clothes.

        I believe they’re called “Krystal.” I understand they’re comparable (like Hydrox vs Oreo), but haven’t determined if they’re accepted as payment by automated toll collection machines like genuine sliders are.

      Isn’t it one and the same?

      This reminds me of a joke…

      Q: Why do White Castle burgers have five holes in them?
      A: Because it takes five shots to kill the rat.

      Actually, it appears that in this reality White Castle burgers are both significantly larger and round.

        To let the steam through so the bun steams while the patty is frying.

        Sorry, engineer. 🙂

          I know, I’ve seen it done (on YouTube and in real life). It also alleviates the need for flipping.

          Reality isn’t as funny (or in this case appropriate).

          Not just that, but to let the juices through so it doesn’t need to be flipped mid-cook.

    Seems somebody’s not overly fond of White Castle

      I you are fond at all of White Castle, you are overly fond.

    Why is Sergio’s last speech bubble gray? Is that significant somehow?

      I think that’s supposed to indicate that he is muttering sotto voice to Ozma.

      ‘Cause she’s eating a White Castle burger right there.

    Didn’t he just get finished calling alt-Sergio an idiot for doing exactly that?

      Yep! They are the same person after all, they have similar tendencies to ‘it’s stupid but I gotta’

    Is he asking for information, or just for confirmation?

    Even if someone has stolen Tip’s rat jerky now, someone’s bound to have a large supply of rats in a city of mad scientists.

    Sergio wants to do something dangerous because it’s there, but why would Tip?

      Maybe alt-tip is sweet on Sergio?

      And sure they may have lab rats. But do YOU think any of these people has heard the words ‘control group’?

      Some Mad Scientists use gerbils instead of rats, at least in the “regular” Narbonic universe.

      No “Rat in a Box” franchises left in the East?

    Hold on here… alt-Tip is female, and accordingly on the wrong side of the Female-Rage plague… but the “branch” doesn’t happen until Colma?

      I wondered about that. I think the point is that Colma is where the differences went from “interesting” to “apocalyptic”.

      Mental Mouse: The Rage plague could have been a Colma thing, as Director England seemed familiar with it at http://skin-horse.com/comic/getting-all-this/ . No idea what mopping up a virus means to a guy who goes to work in a short sleeved shirt, though.

    White Castle square burgers are designed as a grease sponge. So even if they taste good to you, your arteries are screaming in fear of it. Wait that”s not screaming. It’s the sound of them closing from the chloresterol 😀

    “I think we should go there.” Tourists, ho!

    Called the road trip. Although, Sergio might want to study the tapes first, just to determine what his counterpart did, just so he knows what not to do this time.

    By the way, calling the Biomass a “writhing mass of pure horror” is chillingly Lovecraftian. I love it. Thanks, Authors!

    Some people swear by White Castle, or at least used to. Now I see a lot more swearing AT White Castle.

    I mean… we’re all aware the biomass is probably Unity, right? You know, she probably straight up juiced the dead cypress while high on brains and is now ruling like a vengeful god? Is that a thing? I feel like that’s a thing.

    I haven’t been to a White Castle in 30 years but wolfing down 15 or 20 sliders was great after a night on the town.

    Hopefully St. Charlie’s mysterious propulsion mechanism still works, Boston to California is a hell of a long way.
