Though, it's weird recognizing that the only reason that this is so entertaining is because it's just referencing things I'm familiar with. I guess that was supposed to be the same draw as the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen comics, though?

That's the entire drat point! There were dinos from the triassic, jurassic and cretaceous periods, and Ingen cloned the things and put them all together in the same environment without considering how they would interact with the modern world or each other. It's the most basic sci-fi message there is, all the way back to Mary Shelley. Hubris Gone Mad Comix.

Oh for gently caress's sake. Only Brooke would think that a grown-rear end adult would become utterly stupified and docile at seeing a naked woman.

I'm amazed he didn't have the soldiers going HOMMINA HOMMINA HOMMINA or have drooling foot-long tongues lolling out or something.

- At my cabin, the outhouse door got stuck and it took me a while before I could get back to sleep!
- So you wanted to get from the little boy's room to your bed?
- I wouldn't phrase it like that


There must be a way to make that pun work. Anyway, pikkula is a word for toilet, meaning more or less literally "a little place". Pikkulapsi means "a little child". Coincidentally pikkulasta means both "from the little place" and "a little child (obj.)". The reporter's original line was "so you yearned to get from the little place to your bed?"


- Next up, an educational movie "How to act when a snake bites"
- Always wear a life jacket


Käärmeen purressa can mean both "when a snake bites" and "in a snake's yacht" or sailboat or whatever that is.


Heimo as an aerobiologist:
- The birch is blossoming strongly in here, here and here
- Hi! This is our new employee from the States...


Birch is koivu. This strip wins the award for the most farfetched KKK joke I've ever seen :v:


Heimo's youth:
- It's easier to deal with my parents' complaints when I occasionally release myself on the pages of my diary
- Works better than writing


Heimo meant "release my emotions" but I guess that translation works well enough.

Closest I can think of is;

- So you're saying you spent a lot of time in the little boy's room last night?
- I wouldn't phrase it like that.

It's not the most amazing masterpiece in comics, therefore it sucks.

I like Lost Side, too. And yeah, we're a bunch of grownups who have read all this stuff so we're like, "Oh, he's just making references. That's not clever." But we're not the target audience. These stories are for junior high kids who maybe haven't read Kipling, or old African folk tales, or To Kill A Mockingbird. So maybe they read this and are like, "That Mr Toad is a weirdo. What's up with him? And that seal looks pretty cool." And they do some reading on their own to find out more. That's what this is for, and I think getting too sly with the reference would get in the way of that.

I agree! The plot of this arc is basically like a kid's action cartoon premise, but the literary references are cool, and the artwork's great. It's a clever story directed at adolescents, and to poke holes in it just to satisfy our jaded middle-aged sensibilities is missing the point.

As the bottom panel shows, this story doesn't really work as well when you replace besotted youths with grown-rear end adults.

I'm starting to miss torture-porn-Brooke, and that's not a good thing. This entire Romeo + Juliet thing has been incredibly boring since it started, especially following something as stupidly batshit as Piss Genie.
