The left his laser sword with him. No need to jump to shapeshifter-based conclusions when “cut the metal, pushed the metal back into place” explanations will do. Occam’s Laser, if you will.
Not a good idea, not until someone checks it for unexpected chemicals. He may have dipped it in a clear toxin that needs to be breathed in once ignited.
Then again, burning it might release an audible message that wafts on the smoke. This is that kind of universe.
Now, the question is, is that a “I am leaving this webcomic with style” feather, or a “I may have been foiled this time, but will return to destroy you all” feather? In other words, the Dane may be cool, but is he “recurring character” cool?
If you look back at the shelf, the last can which hadn’t fallen would have been right in front of where the feather was found.
The Dane didn’t turn the laser sword into a teleportation device, he turned those cans and their contents into a teleportation device. Now that’s genuine mad science…
Maybe none of this is the Dane’s doing. Maybe he fell through a trap door in the basement, along with the rest of the junk in the freezer. In which case, Phillips will be showing him his trick any minute now.
I just can’t see him leaving here without his motorbike.
Don’t push her on this one, Chris. If she reconsiders liking clowns, she might reconsider dating you.
Arty not the only shapeshifter? Or just a dramatic Sign?
YES! Everyone’s favorite character, the mynah, is back again for the first time! He stared reality in the face until reality blinked!
For all I know, this is in fact the case. He was delivered Helen and Dave, after all.
seams a bit far fetched but hey, if calib and the hamsters are anything to go by ANYONE can change drastically.

It appears to be outside the doorframe but still in the path of the closing door here: http://skin-horse.com/comic/the-front-desk-3/
Hard to tell, really, but I think the implication was that if he’d had the sword, he would have immediately cut his way out and sought revenge.
And he either took all those cans and boxes he fell into with him or he ate it all first, including the actual cans and boxes.
I told them that the freezer doean’t need secret passageways, but did they listen?
Isn’t it obvious what’s going on here?
He disassembled the laser sword to use the spare parts to turn the freezer into a one-shot teleportation device!
It says a lot about this story that that’s a fairly likely explanation…
You know it’s 2016 when the murder clowns are even invading your webcomics.
Pennywise?
Wasn’t Scamander supposed to catch it?
Smacks of Space Station 13, no?
HONK!
*shoves Urlace into the fridge and locks it*
We have more than enough murder clowns in webcomics already.
Yeah, okay, that’s *vaguely* cool. I still think the Dane is overrated, dinosaur assassinations or no.
Mojoportation – the Dane’s got the Mojo, and he’s narcissistic enough not to need a partner.
Ooooor he has a GF somewhere and she just happens to be in a hot tub
If Mr. The Dane left a single feather behind, does that mean he’s really a bird?
A little flighty maybe . . .
I think it’s a Dresden Files reference.
Could you be more specific? I don’t remember any of Harry’s foes leaving behind feathers.
burn the feather, just in cae
Good plan. Leaving a feather behind may mean that the Dane is actually a feather.
Not a good idea, not until someone checks it for unexpected chemicals. He may have dipped it in a clear toxin that needs to be breathed in once ignited.

Nah. Burnin’ feathers be stanky.

Or maybe the feather was in there to begin with.
If you look back at the shelf, the last can which hadn’t fallen would have been right in front of where the feather was found.

Panel one. Hamlet.
The Melancholy Dane or Alas Poor Yorick?
So either The Dane has a very impressive if somewhat garish calling card, or he’s a crow with a human disguise.
