This may be a dumb thing, but I really dislike the idea that this time traveler, given no other influence on the timeline, has to do a bunch of work to get things "right." Like, the idea that in a vacuum, without the time traveler's interference, the events wouldn't happen "as they should." There's no evil time traveler or the time traveler's own mistakes loving things up (in this case he lost his time travel device, but we haven't seen that being a source of problems) so to me that says what was "supposed" to happen isn't whatever the time traveler is guiding things to. This time traveler isn't helping, they're a malevolent force that is changing things to suit their narrative.

Their holy book had some confusing and contradictory passages, so he's come back to ensure they're not in it. Saves on schisms.

Unfortunately last chapter of the book described this meeting and got it classified under "Science Fiction" instead of "Inspirational Biographies", resulting in a billion-dollar blockbuster franchise loosely based on the concept, but no lasting societal effects after the fourth film bombed. Les, did, however, get a "Best Visual Effects" and a "Best Musical Score" Oscar out of it, though.

And here he is, telling her his whole time traveler story as part of her book interview, insuring that the main part of the timeline he was supposedly there to protect is all about him rather than the banalities of small town existence or whatever.

Is "Terrior" meant to be some weird portmanteau of "terrier" and "warrior"?

Everyone has their own strips that just disgust them on a visceral reaction level, and mine is Pondus. That art is actively repellant, it's intentionally ugly, I despise it.

Posting that much Pondus in a row is a war crime. When I DJ'd at the college radio station, we had to do at least one EBS break at day, and they'd invariably leave it for the last three shifts, any of which I was usually stuck with, so...after 40-years: (5-seconds dead air) (PoC's best boring Announcer Voice. I tried to channel Gary Owens): "This is a test of the Emergency Broadcast System. This is only a test." Play <tone> / <triple tone> (that part was on a cart) "This is a test of the Emergency Broadcast System. Broadcasters in your area, in voluntary cooperation with the FCC along with Federal, State, and local authorities, have developed this system to keep you informed in the event of an emergency. Had this been an actual emergency, the attention signal you just heard would be followed by news, directions, or other official information. This is only a test" The only time I ever heard an EBS that wasn't a test was when Three Mile Island scrammed.

On UFC last night a thing happened which we hadn't seen before Which reminded me of a place where I had seen something like that before Medenmath posted:Vintage Valiant (Jul. 03, 1938) Fun fact: the guy on the losing end of both is Norwegian. But I went back to the beginning of Vintage Val to read the few from before I started following it, which was I think when Val and Gawain were sent on the false quest which was actually a scheme to ransom Gawain. I can't believe that you only started posting them two years ago! It feels like I've been reading along with them forever, in the best possible way. Thanks for posting it; It's consistently one of my favourite things to read. Also I love the grotesqueness of Pondus. It's the uncanny flat ones like Intelligent Life which are repulsive to me.
