I was, in fact, totally expecting Mr. Green to escape on some sort of flying conveyance, such as a hot air balloon. I’ll admit that I had forgotten about the flying platform, though.
I like this. Thanks: I have few alternatives in my leaky mind, mostly. Thanks very much. The wonderful team here provides great Geriatric Upbringing and Advancement. Onward.
You are correct. Green appears to be in the same style hover craft that the bad guys used in Fraudulent Volcano. But Benton Quest did make the more stylish family-style hovercraft as well as the air-propelled jet packs. http://www.technovelgy.com/graphics/content12/quest-hovercraft.jpg
Reminds me a little of the ones you saw once in a while in “Dick Tracy,” but I haven’t seen them lately—after their supply of replacement parts from the Moon were cut off, they must have gone out of service.
David B: I opine the ‘four-dimensional bump-em car’ factor influences many. See that ‘Stop sign’ down at the corner? Steady, dependable solid ground, sometimes even THERE it doesn’t work. YES! I want such vehicle, too. We could meet down town(avoiding the overhead electricity’s zillions of volts) and quaff and literally fly high. Literally, too. These are civilized days.
Motorcycle engines produce power enough. Ducted fans are old tech. Elon’s club could have. But then, there’s all that overhead electricity.Caveat Emptor, but I would entertain a contract,,,,,
Just go buy one. Search [jb10 jetpack].
The jb10 is just to limit the query otherwise you get electronic hardware. These things have been available for years with multiple sources. Ain’t exactly cheap.
All I know is the Hoverboards they introduced a few years ago had problems with the batteries catching fire. They reintroduced them more recently, maybe they’ve solved the problem.
So Ira, on the platform has hopped it. And the Anasig-Mibs haven’t stopped it. But Panini lays low, so the jetpack can blow—now they’re sorry the dinosaur dropped it.
At this point, I’m going to bet this joke wasn’t part of the original script and Shaenon only added it because people kept asking for the dinosaur in the comments
They ain’t ‘jet packs’ but if anybody wants, BUY Mooney Aircraft. I will work the
rest of my life there for a buck a year until the company is profitable….and aircraft
privileges.
They are the hottest personal aircraft available on our planet. Yes, I would ALSO
spread a couple of cats around, get in commo, and using phone/vid/plus proceed to
meet EVERYONE in the world. Maybe sell a few. Hundred.Thousand.
Slickest personal wings in the world.And practice
turning their acrobatic numbers into lightning ambassadors of peace. Yup.
Well to be fair I think they wanted to kill the dinosaur earlier, man they’re stupid.
Gotta admit, this subverted all our expectations! 😉

Stupid Department of Jetpack Suppression….
not to worry – I am sure he is merely riding the platform to the hot-air balloon.
Everyone eventually forgets about the flying platform
Annnnnndddddd… that would be a big “no” on the dino helping out, here.
Reminds me of some of the dogs we’ve had.
I lived with (can one ever claim to ‘own’?) a cat who would sit and watch a mouse eating from her food bowl.
Next strip: the dinosaur brings down the platform by the power of its MIND.
Great! Just great! The _one_ flying platform that hasn’t been suppressed. This is going to affect the department’s budget review.
Well of course Panini is ignoring Green, he’s not wearing a hat.
Methinks Panini grew accustomed to Tip’s chapeau indulgences. 😉
…Y’know, I feel like at least one of these mooks is voiced by Patrick Warburton.
Brock Samson: “Aw, come ON! This is getting STUPID!”
The guards were recruited from the comments section.
The thing I find hilarious is that this was definitely written before the last one went up, and it predicted the reaction exactly.
It just also remembered that pets don’t care and henchmen shoot like stormtroopers.
Of course he shoots like a stormtrooper. He’s not even looking where he’s shooting.
That arm belongs to the goon in back, not the one in front.
If it was Unity, I’d believe you, but the goon in back has a dark-skinned face, so I doubt he has a light-skinned hand.
(unless there was a colouring error)
Then again, with those glasses on, neither one of them can see where they’re shooting.
+1, sir. (Collapses laughing)
They need the Department of Jetpack Suppression to suppress him.
With jetpacks!
Is he licensed to fly that thing?

Those leaves Panini is chewing on must be pretty good stuff.
So, it’s apparent to me that Dr. Benton Quest has been a scientist in the employ of A-Sig
I think it actually was the bad guys who cruised around in updated Hillercraft.

Woops. Mistaken again. Quest and Bannon stole that hovercraft from pirates.

bergerjacques, I don’t think I ever knew Dr. Quest’s first name – thank you!
But that begs the question: why don’t we see updated Hiller platforms using modern drone tech in garages across the country?

Either way, well played, Shaenon, well played
This is why dinosaurs went extinct.
Question: Where is Ari Green going?
Hidden lair with henchmen, swivel chairs, a cat or two,
and more than the normal number of death traps and lasers.
In other words “Home”.
