This was actually filmed at a beach, not a desert.

Well, not filmed, really, but you get the idea.

Lewis's Notes

This script was inspired by my own trip to Joshua Tree, insofar as that involved desert camping. I had shelter and food, and protection from desert snakes.

That hill in the forest was actually more slippery than it looked. True story.

By the way, I'm back in California now, so the non-canonical strips of last week shouldn't need to continue.

Lewis's Notes

You may not be able to tell, but Panther is so confused by the forest that he is accidentally addressing his comments to the nearby acorn, which he is mistaking for Stephen.

Stratego pieces are always complaining. I hate them so much.

Lewis's Notes

Ben, what about your principle of universal friendship? The one that Pythagoras stole from you with his time machine?

These comments were totally written by Ben, and not Lewis. You can tell because I am going to talk about the photography. I used a camera.

Lewis's Notes

Hey, remember that one time, when this strip hadn't really broken the fourth wall? Well it still mostly hasn't, because of a little thing called 'strips outside the main continuity'. Or at least, that is what we are telling ourselves.

Blue Tiddlywink is referring to this strip

Lewis's Notes

I wanted this strip to be in-canon, but Ben was all "No, Lewis, this is not canon." Remember, when you have a collaborator, sometimes you have to compromise by not arbitrarily declaring things canon on a whim.

Q: How many ghosts does it take to change a light bulb?

A: Boo!

I am in Michigan, and it turns out that I suffer from a rare condition of being unable to write my own comments while in Michigan. That's ok, though, since I have to do more of the scripting on my own when Lewis is slacking off because he is moving apartments.

Lewis's Notes

I have no excuse for the lameness of my comments. If they were a horse, they'd obviously have to be shot.

Happy September!!!!!

I think you mean August, Ben.

This is the last of the strips that I made in the San Diego hotel room.

Lewis's Notes

Contest: Explain why First Folio decided a barren desert was the best camping location.

Comic-Con was great fun this year. Came away with lots of books and other merchandise, as well as some food for thought for the next few months.

We wanted to share the con experience with you guys, and the best way to do that was to make this special comic.

Lewis's Notes

Today's comic was made by a process called dice-o-tronic image recycling and our patented silly-scripting technologies. We randomly selected four panels from the strip's archives, and created a non-canon strip from them, as a special comic-con treat. Hope you all enjoy it!

Ben's Comments

411redpiranha is named after Zee's girlfriend, not the other way around.

Lewis's Notes

If you want these comments to be funnier, Ben has to work faster at making the comic. (Note: Ben does the lion's share of the work in making the comic, which means Lewis does the lion's share of waiting around. Together, we form a powerful lion.)

Sam and Fuzzy has been pretty great lately. Don't you agree, Lewis?

Lewis's Notes

I'd like to remind people of our new Kingdom of Loathing guild, Terrified Islanders. I didn't even have an account there before the guild formed, but now I'm a level seven seal clubber. Now that's savings!

Ben's Comments

Terror Island has an in-game clan for Kingdom of Loathing now, called Terrified Islanders. If you're reading these comments, you're welcome to join. Or get whitelisted in so that you can switch back and forth between this and some other clan that you have more history with. With which you have more history.

Lewis's Notes

I am starting to do some apartment hunting this week. So if you are an apartment, look out!

Just a reminder: next week we're going to be in San Diego for the Comic-Con. We won't have a booth or merchandise, but if you happen to see me walking around and want to pay five bucks for a sketch, I'd be up for that.

Lewis's Notes

This has been on my mind a lot lately, so I'm just going to come right out and say it: I don't think operas count as real musicals.
