    ….I’m somewhat worried that Sergio is lying to them again. Why would this world have a cure for the Cypress, instead of more things to help kill it?

      Because Darth Unity ate ALL the brains.

      Possibly a last-minute attempt to counteract the fall of civilization. Perhaps that pink stuff they used on it happened to put the Cypress in a state of murderous torpor rather than kill it?

    Jackalope. The OTHER OTHER white meat. Good thing that reality doesn’t have Basselopes. Breathed might sue.

      Bad news- what do you think they feed the jackalopes?

      A couple of years before YSH folded, I knew it was coming. They started making the roasted chicken blander- instead of being better than (some) sex, it was no better than modern KFC. I’ve looked for ages for the ca. 1980 recipe; no luck.

      Jackalope is dark meat

      I thought people were the other other white meat

    Civilization has fallen, but the York Steak House is still open for business? ^_^

      It’s getting better… “I think I’ll go for a little walk!”

      Day14: The Wasteland continues to be an inhospitable nightmare. Radiation is at all time highs. Wild mutant wolves rule the night. Tried mounting a gecko, break it in as a steed. Damn thing keeps stopping to sun itself.

      But the York still stands. As long as it holds strong, I think I can too.

        How desperate has someone gotta be to mount a gecko?

          I don’t know, but that must be some big gecko.

            Likely it wouldn’t be easy to ride around like a horse, either.

    Wait, this is the universe where Unity bombs the cypress?

    He says “your handling,” ignoring that (a) it was their other selves that were there, not them, and (b) his other self was there, too.

    York Steak House still exists in OUR universe!

    Who says this comic is set in our universe. Have you met any talking dogs lately?

    I’d sure miss easy to find dark chocolate, and toilet paper, if civilization fell. Then again, we wouldn’t have presidential ‘debates’ to ignore, either.

    They also only accept payment in brains.

    Serge, amigo, just as a FYI, next time tell that last detail first, ‘kay?

    I’m calling it now. In the mirror universe, after many hard decisions, U.N.I.T.Y. decided the only way to keep the peace was to take over herself. Now, permanently in smart mode using the Brain-O-Mats, she rules over the Earth as goddess-empress of zombiekind. Those few humans that haven’t been eaten or converted now huddle in underground bunkers built by Anasigma. They spend their days harvesting specially created fungi and tending giant rat swarms for food and dreading that time of day when their overlords, using rapidly deteriorating speakers from the before-time, shout “I Told You So!!!!” at their underlings.

    The cure for the swamp? A way of neutralizing the plant zombies, developed far too late against the hordes. Some samples still exist in what remains of Anasigma’s above-ground labs. Hopefully the axolotls have left for greener pastures.

    Anybody know where to find the filename story?

    I check it every few weeks and http://www.ci-n.com/~jcampbel/skinhorse.txt appears to be down – and has been at least 3 days.

    Wait, wait, do they only serve jackalope meat, or are they racist and only serve food to jackalopes? Do they put up a sign reading “no horns, no cottontail, no service” or “nonalopes need not apply?”
