It’s fun to sail a ship that’s flying,
And sail the skies of St. Charlie.
To find the shore and stand up for
Mad science goals of inquiry.
It can be secretive endurance.
They’ll mad experiment with a touch of glee.
It’s all for the database,
And maybe for the human race.
They’re sailing from the skies of St. Charlie.

Jonah Yu hoped for St. Charlie show-up. A flying ship once down would go up. But the group now in toto showed up for the photo. Time’s short, and there’s still threads to sew up.
What’s this about curing the cure?!?
Once you can turn bacon into a pig, you can uncure anything!
What! No cured/uncured bacon jokes?
Where are the real commenters?
There’s only one and Tiff Hudson made it. (and brilliantly so).
The Mad Tech Support Guy managed to escape being cured. https://skin-horse.com/comic/to-sit-still/
And Walske. https://skin-horse.com/comic/id-kind-of/
Ruby (and maybe her husband) went on the saucer.
Why, that’s impossible!
At this point, he probably knows you’re just baiting him.
Mayyyyyyybe?
Is there any reason to think he cares whether its bait or not?
Well, by this time frame Helen has probably already invented the cure v2, with a more personal goal this time, so…
Eh, nothing wrong with good footage Jonah! It’ll give your story a wider audience. 🙂
To borrow from the Foglios, “Well, sure. Who doesn’t like a big dirigible?”
There is host of bad jokes I could make here.
But, I have too much integrity. (And survival instinct)
A bad joke about dirigibles would go over like a lead zeppelin.
[rimshot]
and sink like the titanic on any hidden berg.
It could be there. It could be invisible.
With a flamethrower.
Gentle Persuasion?
And a huge dangling zombie-buzzsawing thing
I hope Debbi got decured and is now firmly back in the world of ridiculous hair and phones the size of bricks.
Amen.
“Forward … To the Past!”, the bonus story in volume 6, addresses at least part of this question.
I can see Jonah and Nera showing their press passes. “Press!” “Press!” “Pull!”
The algorithm prefers flying ships
I prefer flying ships
Therefore I am the algorithm.
That’s about as logical as anything else in St. Charlie.
After the Macarena incident, everybody knew that Al Gore had no rhythm.
Ouch, ouch, ouch, damn!
That one was too painful for just a single response…
I am the walrus*.
*Call. The. Poliiiiiiice…

And once again integrity gives way to pure profit.

If this was all written back in 2007, I have to wonder what was the stand-in for “the algorithm” at the time
Try SSDD. (NSFW)
What the hey?! Wrong day!
Praise be the Algorithm!
