    Mojo powered temporal anomalies, anyone?

    Your timing is… exquisite, Shaenon.

    If some dude busted in through a wall on the back of a dragon to rescue me from a doomsday device and a murderous Dane, I’d kiss him, too….and I’m not even gay…until THAT happened!

      That’s enough to turn anyone gay—or straight, in my case.

    “All the fire exits lead to makeshift jazz clubs.”

    Only in skin horse would that be the most prosaic line spoken all week.

      Well she managed to sit on her own car, so she’s bound to.

        Unless that was another dragon. Maybe this dragon’s daughter.

          Perhaps it was gunning for cars because it was made of iron and needed to use the car as food… in which case that would be the iron dragon’s daughter.

          (sorry)

    Evacuate? To where? It’s a Doomsday device!?!

    I think it’s a local Doomsday device, not a worldwide one. Also, Chris has Mojo! The student has become a master!

    Best romantic backdrop for a kiss EVER. What? Raging flames and explosions are romantic!

      So true! There is beauty in the bellow of the blast; there is grandeur in the growling of the gale.

          Do those explosions include kisses? Or, do the kisses include explosions?!

      That kiss is very TRUE LIES, although the explosion is smaller.

    It’s seems like you’d only have to interrupt one, maybe 2-3 doomsday dominoes at most to break the doomsday scenario. Or hey, Apocalypse Kissing, that’s a good plan too.

      You’d be wrong. The domino chain has started and set of a cascade of reactions. The domino tiles themselves serve to time the various steps needed to focus the doomsday blast. If you mess with the timing, you just get a random explosions and radiation leaks.

        Should we be disturbed that you’re so familiar with the construction of doomsday devices?

          No. There is no need to panic!

          EVERYTHING IS FINE!

        FROM THE FUTURE- the silverfish have clearly proved me CORRECT by interrupting the chain! NEVER CHALLENGE MY DOMINO DOOMSDAY AUTHORITY AGAIN!! >: -)>

        @Claire: Maybe.

          Well, Shane, the silverfish army will have done more than interrupt one, maybe 2-3 doomsday domini, and there will have been explosions and radiation leaks all over the place.

    Assuming they have them, where do the fire exits in the makeshift jazz clubs exit to? Additional clubs?! Jazz club recursion!!

      I was assuming that was just Tigerlily Jones’ thematic way of blocking the exits.

      Every exit is an entrance.

      The fire exits in the jazz clubs lead back into the building.

      Given what just happened in Oakland, panel two hits a raw nerve.

        It’s really unfortunate timing. This strip was written weeks before the tragedy at the Ghost Ship club and is only now running.

    In panel one is Dr. Walske saying that stopping the dominoes is… impossible?

    Is ANYBODY seeing the hand with the megaphone in the background of the last panel, or am I the only one with eyes?

    • casimir
      December 17, 2016, 9:39 am | # | Reply

      I was also puzzled. It DOES look like a hand holding a megaphone, but I think it’s supposed to be the blender on its side. Maybe it has somehow become a hand-held temporal anomaly device.

    • codebracker

      My guess is that it’s a blender/gun of the doomsday device

    Like I said yesterday, Chris, 20 out of 10 for style. (Thumbs up)

    Am I the only one who thinks that Chris’s mouth or lips have migrated to his left cheek?

      I think that’s a chin line, to indicate the head tilt.

    In Shaenon’s World, do fire exits *ever* work right?

    If the domino chain ends that quickly, I would venture to say that the Dane is also lacking in joy. (Or sufficient dominoes. Which I guess would lead to a lack of joy…)
