Well, Jonah Yu and Nera identified the “shadow President,” and trailed him to the building and then to the car. They said “he,” but they didn’t say “Mr. Green.” (Though I’d certainly believe it if it was him.)
First the long distance communication Nera had with Jonah while he was falling towards the ground, and now an Osprey is going to chase and eat a flying rocket car. I would say that’s impossible, but I’ll settle for impossible to draw.
I love how Jonah just mentally acknowledges Sweetheart then continues regardless – just another tick on his “weird or impossible things that have happened to me” tally.
huh… does the occurrence of a DEM tend to break 4th wall? perhaps beyond… as there appears to have been some kind of break within and between the minds of the artists …
Reminds me of a Twain short story, where he put the protagonists into an impossible position . . . , and then realized this, apologized to the readers, and stopped right there.
Ahem!. And we now return you to a previous alternate reality, primarily for the jaring transition. Disorientation is approved “fun” so enjoy it. (that was not a request.)
The easy way out of this problem is to have Nick to argue that what Jonah is asking for is āFARMING impossibleā, which it is unless Mr. Greenās rocket car is much slower and less maneuverable than the V-22. Then, Nick could use his bleeding edge sensors to follow Mr. Green at a safe distance and the team could rescue Nera on the ground.
Well, Nick was developed for the Air Force, and can reach speeds approaching mach 1 (might not be able to go faster, since his body is not pressurised). Whereas anything much over 150mph would tear that car to pieces, mainly because of its complete lack of aerodynamics.
Oh, by the way…I’m sure most of us thought Shaenon wrote this and not Jeff. The swear-filter-substitutes are always so much cleverer when Shaenon writes.
I really hope that the script for this actually includes Shaenon breaking the fourth wall as she doesn’t know how to draw the loading-ramp/rocket-car intersection.
But KITT entered the truck willingly. Unless Nick has a tractor beam, or for some reason Mr. Green is willing, it may be a little tough to get the car into the cargo hold, especially if the loading ramp is in the rear of the aircraft.
Of course, Mr. Green may in fact decide that it’s time to share at least a small portion of his plan — probably just enough of it to throw them off. Especially considering the fact that it was a couple of unemployed kids who identified him and tracked him down.
On the plus side, he may also offer the kids a job. It would be less problematic than making civilians disappear.
So, when do the original Robins go on sale?
And when is Robin going to start his own comic strip?
Might have to wait a couple more years for that one, but by the look of his drawing, maybe not too long.
How much? And is he past the terrible twos?
Born in mid-2014, so three.
It’s always a pleasure to see them breaking the 4th wall. [waves] Hallo!
This almost guarantees that it’s not Mr. Green driving that car.
Dr. Lee, mayhaps?
Doubtful, since they know Dr. Lee, and also since they announced the driver’s impending arrival by saying “He‘s coming”.
Good point, that.
I suppose that means he at least looks like Dr. Ao..
Although he could always be a drone…
Or Ira.
Shit, they’re gonna have to set up a whole new mysterious Big Bad soon, aren’t they?
Well, Jonah Yu and Nera identified the “shadow President,” and trailed him to the building and then to the car. They said “he,” but they didn’t say “Mr. Green.” (Though I’d certainly believe it if it was him.)
How about this strip, where Jonah says “my partner’s been kidnapped by Mr. Green!”

And Robin wins the internet today! š
Clearly Robin should draw the next bit! š

Hah! You said “impossible!”
awgiedawgie: Take care. The last person who said that was thrown into a dungeon.
When was that?
Last Thursday night.
I died there.
Okay, I’ve officially overdosed on my daily allowance of cute…
I love how Jonah just mentally acknowledges Sweetheart then continues regardless – just another tick on his “weird or impossible things that have happened to me” tally.
No, that’s just his “weird or impossible things that have happened to me today” tally. It doesn’t get added to the master list ’til he gets home.
He doesn’t merely acknowledge, she’s the one he’s addressing in panel one, intuitively recognizing the one “in charge”.
Looks more like a long-necked gryphon with the head of a ninja…
huh… does the occurrence of a DEM tend to break 4th wall? perhaps beyond… as there appears to have been some kind of break within and between the minds of the artists …
I think somebody should break it to Jonah Yu that climbing inside somebody’s car trunk and hiding there isn’t quite kidnapping…
Reminds me of a Twain short story, where he put the protagonists into an impossible position . . . , and then realized this, apologized to the readers, and stopped right there.
Can’t think of it off-hand. One that does end something like that is ” ‘Thou Art the Man!’ ” but I don’t recall an apology to the readers.
https://nebushumor.wordpress.com/2014/03/05/mark-twain-awful-terrible-medieval-romance/ does not directly apologize, but comes close. I’m trying to remember the story in which each character he’s done with, drowns.

“Kidnapped” is maybe not the right word here…
True. But between “kidnapped” and “riding in his trunk”, which one creates the greater sense of urgency?
And a very good airplane it is, Robin!
Oh, by the way…I’m sure most of us thought Shaenon wrote this and not Jeff. The swear-filter-substitutes are always so much cleverer when Shaenon writes.
And then there’s the comment on Thursday from one “andrewfarago” that said it’s one of his scripts.
I really hope that the script for this actually includes Shaenon breaking the fourth wall as she doesn’t know how to draw the loading-ramp/rocket-car intersection.
Think “KITT entering the Knight truck”…
But KITT entered the truck willingly. Unless Nick has a tractor beam, or for some reason Mr. Green is willing, it may be a little tough to get the car into the cargo hold, especially if the loading ramp is in the rear of the aircraft.

That’s a good airplane, sprout! Keep drawing (^-^)
Is that an airplane with feathered wings?
Robin is a genius artist.
