… and only now do I realise that Bubbles not only rose to the top but *of course* she became an admiral, because as a water cooler her expertise, her very *being* was in containing and dare I say ruling the waves.
A senator’s term lasts six years, and he was senator at the end of Narbonic, which was 16 years ago. So if he’s served continuously, this would be at least his third term.
The Thanksgiving dinner photo definitely hasn’t been taken yet, because it shows both Artie and Sergio. So at least some of those images are definitely still in the future.
Good point, especially seeing that the next (& final) strip is a chat between him & Helen whether it’s possible to foresee the future without a time machine.

Happy to revere.
Till was announced an ending,
So I’ll shout it now right here.
It’s a short time to the conclusion,
It’s a short time to go.
It’s a short time to the conclusion,
And the characters we know.
Goodbye, non-human creatures,
Farewell, censor swears.
It’s a short, short time to the conclusion,
But I’ll be right there.
Nick Zerhakker fell in love,
Married Ginny Lee.
Five years passed, they now have kids,
Right now two, soon three.
Jonah, Nera work for FOOT,
Bigger in two ways.
It’s left to wonder of the rest,
There’s hope in coming days.
It’s a long time to the conclusion,
It’s a long time to go.
It’s a long time to the conclusion,
And the characters we know.
Goodbye, non-human creatures,
Farewell, censor swears.
Seems it’s taking, like, forever,
But I’ll be right there.

Nera and Jonah have work now. They’re a bright shining light in the mirk, now. FOOT Network’s their place, and their non-human base…if Jonah is not a big jerk now.
Foot! I bet Zeta is the star reporter there.
I bet Zeta is the OWNER there. Or co-owner, at least. I could see Zeta and Foot being equals, but if one of them is the sidekick, it’d be Foot.
… and if anyone can side-kick, it’d be Foot.
Monday Nera said they were bringing their audience exclusive footage.
Good catch, and terrible play on words!
Could well be
…*Don’t* get me started on that re-election campaign. Just… don’t.
It was going great until the news channels started comparing the senator with King Kong.
Foot know that proper podiatric care almost as essential as critical media vocabulary. (DR. SMITH teach Foot well.)
“I don’t like podiatry. It’s all [makes sawing motions with arm] ee-ee-ee-ee-ee-ee-ka-thump!”
They always know when strange things are…afoot.
They were only hired to do the legwork.
Still, I think something doesn’t smell right.
That joke was corny, I feel like a heel.
You’re toeing the line with that one…
You’re really nailing these jokes.
“Arches eyebrow at the three foot punners”
I yardly think that’s called for.
@Aname Relax. It’ll be just this sole comic attracting such footnotes.
It’s callus to subject us to them.
As a sideline, FOOT runs a satirical news site called “The Bunion.”
An Achilles heal?
Moses supposes his toeses are roses but Moses supposes erroneously.
Wow, if you needed proof that this entire group are as Mad as the scientists depicted . . .
“FOOT: The News Network With Sole.”
I love the easter eggs being saved for last. This is brilliant.

FOOT!!!!! i mean if bubbles could climb the ladder! why not Foot!
Bubbles rose to the top.
You’re truly boiling over with puns today
It’s been simmering for a while.
… and only now do I realise that Bubbles not only rose to the top but *of course* she became an admiral, because as a water cooler her expertise, her very *being* was in containing and dare I say ruling the waves.
Hooray for the return of Foot!
I’d like to thank Shaenon and Jeff for answering my question about Foot: Good fan service!
Any relation between Senator Mongorsky and Mongor the Iguana-Man?
IIRC, one became the other at the end on Narbonic…

Somehow, even though I did occasionally do deep dives into “Narbonic,” I missed that completely till now. Thankyouthankyouthankyon…
Noproblemnoproblemnoprob…
I was thinking I recognized the name. Thanks for looking it up.
You’re welcome!
Oh dear, I feel the need for a complete Narbonic reread coming on. And me with so much on my to-read and to-reread lists already!
Ah, good ol’ Foot. Also, congrats to Senator Mongorsky. Question, is this his first term?
A senator’s term lasts six years, and he was senator at the end of Narbonic, which was 16 years ago. So if he’s served continuously, this would be at least his third term.
Could’a been appointed to fill out someone else’s term. Or could be out of office and still be called Senator.
We’re not sure how long after Dave’s dream the picture was taken. Has it been taken yet?
OK, in the Narboniverse, that is a fair point.
I figured it was his college days.
The Thanksgiving dinner photo definitely hasn’t been taken yet, because it shows both Artie and Sergio. So at least some of those images are definitely still in the future.

Foot and Friends?
So did the Foot Network buy out Grillo Parlante, or did they just dissolve that to take take those jobs?
Might just be subcontractors.
‘FOOT’-Always a step ahead of the competition!
Getting truth’s boots on before lies have a chance to circle the globe is easier when you only have one boot.
I just want to say these strips make me smile and brighten my day!
Federated Organization of Outstanding Telecasters could work, though.
