This is my third cameo. I was a resident of Colma being inerviewed about the zombies in “My Brother Sam Is Dead” (http://skin-horse.com/comic/right-while/), then I was a punchy denizen of the alternate universe in “Looking Glass Land” (http://skin-horse.com/comic/him/). These may be the high points of my existence.
Is this a new trend in “Skin Horse,” or a perk for a Patreon contribution? (Y’know, far as I know, there isn’t a picture of me online—maybe there is and I don’t know about it.)
I remember walking past the adult theater next door one day years ago and there were ping pong balls all over the parking lot. Each one was in a plastic bag that had “Honeysuckle loves your balls” written on it. Mayhaps Captain Beyond wishes to meet Ms. Divine.
Reading Wikipedia about her it seems I caught her act at The Aquarius (my buddy operated the lights) the day before she was arrested. She was funny more than anything else. She had a sense of humour about herself.
It seems as though the Captain Beyond effect is beginning to wear off. He’s worrying about balls even after Reynard describes this as what they’re supposed to do.
Press the button, check for visible messages and/or robots inside, use the stairs to check any other floors where there are signs of life. Don’t let the door close on you as anything could happen then.
Close, she’s going to win the irradiator, and on the way out of Annex One, she’ll find the temporal anomaly she had been looking for in the first place and actually give it to the Department of Irradiation in the first place.
If Chris is this far into his funky new persona, how is the irresistible vision Tigerlily Jones of the planet Lovetron going to hit him? Maybe hard . . .
Have a tumblered, numbered ping-pong,
Just to get in Annex One.
You can see the lottery
Makes entrance fair and fun.
Have a tumblered, numbered ping-pong,
And when you step up inside,
Greet the teams that have their dreams,
And take it all in stride.
Oh, no, you’ll undergo
A contest juggernaut.
Mad science lurks within,
Give it your best shot!
Have a tumblered, numbered ping pong,
And in case you don’t agree,
Unencumbered have a tumblered numbered
Ping-pong,
On me!
…Dark and groovy doesn’t sound half bad, actually.
OK, I can’t remember the gray haired lady with glasses. Who is she? I’m sure she has been in the comic before.
That’s Manifesta, who is actually one of the people who usually posts here, or their ID picture, at least.
I’m beginning to suspect she’s going to win by sheer accident.

(I take it back. There *is* one picture of me online that I can find with Google Image Search.)
Robert, the fan cameos in stories like “Railway Children” and this one are Kickstarter bonus tier rewards, not Patreon ones. Thanks for asking!
Glad to find out. Not that I want one.
By the way, does this mean Kay-the-Character will be appearing further in the continuity? One can hope.
As I recall, the Kay character was a real bad-ass.
Well, I didn’t think it was Kay, but Jeff isn’t denying it so … I guess it is.

Did the filename story just end?
Briefly interrupted, never fear.

Somebody throw a bucket of water on Captain Beyond and bring him back to, well, what passes for reality around Annex One…
Anyone ever read “Bio of a Space Tyrant”? Decently good read
The second panel must be the underlying theme for all comic strip artists.
…or rather, dictum.
she’s going to win the irradiator and use it for something sane like curing cancer isn’t she?
Close, she’s going to win the irradiator, and on the way out of Annex One, she’ll find the temporal anomaly she had been looking for in the first place and actually give it to the Department of Irradiation in the first place.
I find myself expecting EVERY ping pong ball to say 1 on it.
If you hold it just right and squint, then it says 7.

Nice! I especially like the line “Unencumbered have a tumblered numbered…”
Thank you. These internal rhyme things always present a challenge…
