Wow, rangers? Someone’s been inhaling a bit to much of Toxsick his trippy fumes. Why would the power rangers do something about it? They are having their own drug party right now. High as the explosion reached, thinking they are fighting evil and shit.
I just love the expressions of our villians as they make a run for it and their awesome screaming.
And now what has been the educational value of the past few days everybody? That you should never shoot at your own companions? Never hold a grudge agains someone who is to drugged to notice the world around them? To alway’s bring a clean pair of undies in case you are chased by a group of peacefull bloodthirsty murderous hippies? Close but no. The lesson is, NEVER become a supervillain with an extinct flying dino suit. Despite the fact that you can fly you will end up on the bottom of the pile of villains and not even be able to outfly a group of killer hippies.
Still, everyone knows that the way to survive a group of mega high hippies who want to tear the flesh from your bones all you have to do is call out ‘Free vegetarian pizza’s over at the shady dude with long hair!’ Should get rid of most of them by default. I mean, everyone likes pizza and now even the vegetarians are happy. And it would take them ages to check all the shady dudes with long hair.
Ya said a mouthful, Dawn! Now let’s see if we can get to the root of your theories:
The rangers who go to Burning Man are not the super-sentai variety, although I think that would be pretty damned hilarious if that was the case!
All of your assessments about staying away from drugs and hippies are right on the mark…but you know kids these days. Tell them not to do something and zooop! They go right out and do it! Let the little ankle-biters learn the truth for themselves.
Would a vegetarian eat a pizza with pineapple on it? Because that’s just really yucky (to me, anyway). If you want to get people’s hopes up with shouts of free pizza, then reveal to them a tomato-sauce pie covered in vile pineapple slices, then congratulations, YOU ARE EVIL!
I’ve completely forgotten what my point was, but there you have it. Now it’s time to go get some pizza (the non-icky variety, thankyew!).
Flower Power and Love and stuff is all very well, but the SMDL has to find out everything can only be stressed so far. 😀
Just finished reading through the archives. When I found this gorgeous comic the other day it was love on first sight – something like that at any rate. Keep up the good work!
Welcome to the loony bin, Paul, and thank you for commenting! As you can see from today’s reader thread, everyone is in a funny mood (must be Wacky Wednesday), so take comfort in knowing that you are still the sanest one here for the time being.
I will most certainly keep up the comics if there are always crazy readers following (because if I stop they’ll kill me).
By the way, not that I want to presume to give you ideas, but do you know what would be hilarious and topical? A Breaking Bad parody featuring Toxsick as the TV series gets closer to completion!
I have yet to see Breaking Bad, but my girlfriend watches it. I could have her guide me through it, but I’m a tad reluctant when it comes to shows she picks out (it’s hard to trust someone after they’ve subjected you to ‘House of Lies’).
I have to be careful about making snarky comments to her. Whenever she makes a snarky remark towards me, I hum the Jaws theme and say something like, “Look, in the water! Its a Great White Snark!”.
When engaged in the ‘Stooge Run’ manouver (IE fleeing for your life from a mob), there are keys to success. Number one, eyes front. Don’t worry about them behind you….. you’ll hear them, you don’t need to look, and if you tilt your head you are going to stray left or right and might trip over something. Point two, keep an eye for anything that might trip up the people behind you and try to beeline for it. If they can’t see it past you you can hopefully catch more with it. Corners are your friend as well if you can find any. It’s best to wear shoes with good grips, if you have the ability. Cannonballing a window can deter pursuers or at least slow them down, but you have to be careful doing it. And in a flat run scenario, don’t worry! There’s tricks for that too. Breathe in through your nose and out through your mouth for maximum efficiency, keep your strides even, and lean your body forward if possible to prevent faster opposition snaring your shirt or hair.
Remember, a crowd has each other to trip over. You only have you or a couple pals. A not-bad idea is to fan out some to stay clear of each other’s running paths. Splitting up can be useful, but remember, then you’re on your own if you’re not the long distance runner type and you get caught! An absolute must is to break line of sight with your pursuers…… they will quickly get frustrated. Oh, and if you happen upon good , obvious hiding places (A warehouse or trainyard, for example), it can be a much better idea to run right through……. most mobs will assume you’ve hidden to catch your breath and stop to search for you.
“I can’t outrun the bear, but I can outrun YOU.” -the punchline of an anecdote hat I’m sure everyone has heard.
Once again, masterful advice from our friend Lady Jenn on what to do in a truly awful scenario. I hope you other readers have been keeping notes on these tidbits of advice she leaves every now and then: when the apocalypse comes, who are you going to take advice from? The loonies, dat’s who!
I have never been in a situation where I was chased with colleagues (I have been pursued alone, of course), but it’s a tad reassuring having that “we’re all in this together” mentality…even if it means you’ll all end up beaten and dead.
I have to confess I don’t know what they build the “Man” out of these days. The photo reference I was working from almost looked like it was made from fluorescent lights or something.
The crowd is made because these outsider villains burned down the Man before they got the chance to do it. That’s all.
As your friendly neighborhood BM info guide, yes, the Man is made out of wood, then fitted with neon so it looks cool and stuffed with grease/oil soaked rags for better burning… 🙂
Also, there was a year when someone tried to burn the Man down early, it was quite interesting to hear everyone’s reactions to it….
‘BM info guide’…it took me a moment to realize that BM stood for ‘Burning Man’ and not…something else that is commonly abbreviated as BM.
Never mind. I’m just really curious now who that ‘premature burner’ was; it almost sounds like something that a pesky kid sibling would do. Heck, maybe there ARE some bratty kids at the festival pulling Bart Simpson-stunts like that!
Pies?!
(Woobwoobwoobwoob…)
That just makes me think of the Three Stooges short, ‘Spook Louder’, and the mysterious pie-thrower.
Moe: “Who threw those pies?!”
Curly: “WHO threw those pies…?”
It was the narrator, of course!

“Give me the tools!”
“What tools?”
“…the tools we’ve been using for the last ten years!”
“Ooohhhh, THOSE tools!”
By the way, not that I want to presume to give you ideas, but do you know what would be hilarious and topical? A Breaking Bad parody featuring Toxsick as the TV series gets closer to completion!
I have yet to see Breaking Bad, but my girlfriend watches it. I could have her guide me through it, but I’m a tad reluctant when it comes to shows she picks out (it’s hard to trust someone after they’ve subjected you to ‘House of Lies’).
“A very fitting name for that series you showed, because you told me it was GOOD!”
I have to be careful about making snarky comments to her. Whenever she makes a snarky remark towards me, I hum the Jaws theme and say something like, “Look, in the water! Its a Great White Snark!”.
I love that someone on stilts is chasing them.
We’ll see how far she gets before she trips over someone and lands face-first on top of the fleeing bad guys. KERPLAT!
Wait a minute, where is Hypnausea?? Do I want to know? Hmm.. actually, a little bit, yes.
I would just say it’s left to the reader’s imagination…but my readers seem to have very sick imaginations!
Well, so does Hypnausea.

Beaten, dead, but not alone! Ah, friendship!
So, they were not supposed to set the wooden man on fire? Who was the man they DID have to set on fire?

Even when there are no real rules, some joker’s got to break ’em to ruin it for everyone, don’t they?
You’d think Burning Man would be the perfect place for rule-breakers! Hypocrites, allavem!
