There is a US 202 that goes through some northeast states, but I'm not sure if that classifies as a true "Interstate."

Carillo operates out of the Valley of the Sun, or he used to, so probably AZ 202.

edit: Chandler isn't really parallel but I can imagine scenarios.

Ban WD from this thread immediately before they rape thread saints Tove Jansson and Jackel Rod!

I don't follow this very closely but are these artists actually drawing WD or is Zakour just aping their style and pretending? Because if this is a question of actual guest artists, then it cannot be sacrilege or anything like that.

If Zakour is doing this all himself then its just really, really sad and pathetic.

Oh Hil. You don't want to go Alternate Universe. You want to go Expanded Universe. That lets you build on your core canon in a quasi-canonical way while also giving you an out to ditch the EU continuity at a later date

Basically, none of those assholes had any reason to fly back to the loving midwest to watch an old movie serial together, let alone go on a quest to find the star of that serial and offer him a job that they have absolutely no ability to give him.

Hey, Baituck understands the interwebs. If you can kickstart a movie theater you can kickstart a movie, and if you can kickstart a movie you can decide how it's cast even if someone else owns the IP.

The same way Crankshaft can take place ten years prior to Funky Winkerbean while simultaneously sharing identical technology standards: Batiuk is a hack.
Look, that's very simple. Crankshaft takes place in the present.

Funky Winkerbean takes place 10 years later, in the present.

I don't understand what the problem is. :confused:

I spent so long trying to figure out which of the other two it was, because I knew it couldn't be the one that looked exactly like the perpetrator. That's some Slylock Fox poo poo, Dick Danger is supposed to be on a whole other level!

Bleeker the Rechargeable Dog
Bleeker is a robot babysitter. That is the purpose for which he was designed and built. And he hates it and is terrible at it. He looks forward to shutting off to recharge because it's time not spent with Skip. Karl is a vacuum cleaner that doesn't enjoy cleaning, he just has what a human would consider a mental illness, a pathological hate for dirt and untidiness. When he's not in a state of rage at the world's imperfections, he lives in fear of his own obsolescence. Refurb is the only happy robot, because either by accident or design, he has been effectively lobotomised, turned into a useless idiot kept alive to amuse his owner. This is a comedy.

Let's not forget that that Skip has a serious case of "Urkel Syndrome" going on. IE: he's so annoying his own family doesn't want to spend time with him.

This last panel is fun because it has a bunch of guy's trademarks that he' struggling to fit all in one panel. Like...he HAS to put the support troop aid mug in there, but he ALSO has to put in fritzi's breasts, but he ALSO has to put down his signature and a bowl of frosted flakes! The solution: squish fritzi's torso such that her head is now as wide as her entire torso, devote a full half of the panel to cereal.
