Ah, here’s a change of scene for you. I also promised you cheesecake, didn’t I?
What, you say that Grace Jones and Lucy Liu don’t meet your notion of beautiful women? Sorry about that. They sure as hell match mine. 🙂
We’ll just have a handful of pages of women trading blows before we get back to Jacob and crew…and by then you’ll know how they connect if you haven’t guessed it already. Stay tuned.

Roger voiceover: Meanwhile, a fateful meeting was happening in Dakar, Senegal. 'The Gateway to Africa'. We're all lucky that Zoey found this security footage.
Ambassador Caera Tu-ying: Senator Pakawa, thank you for the opportunity to talk.
Senator Msaka Pakawa: Please, Ambassador Tu-ying, call me Msaka. What can I do for you?
Tu-ying: It's about the secession bill. We asked your office for help...
Msaka: ...and they wisely refused. Senegal has always been welcoming of immigrants. Our genetic diversity saved us during the plagues. But we don't give away sections of the country to refugees.
Tu-ying: There are over four milion displaced Chinese in Dakar alone.
Msaka: I sympathize with you and the loss of your homeland. But you're not taking part of my country. Brazil is just across the tunnel. I could speak with them...

I’m glad this was a “talkie” strip, because I’d read the transcript long before the image loaded… (it still hasn’t)
your motion tweens are kinda hard to follor. i guess thats the point.
Well, I’m trying to use them sparingly. Not happy with them myself. I’ll have to look into other ways to convey extremely fast motion.
The image loads fine for me from both work and home. I’m paying for some top-of-the-line hosting, so if there’s any trouble it’s probably a temporary internet blip. Just check the page again later in the day. If you have consistent problems let me know and I’ll ask my host about it.
Nothing wrong with pictures on this continent…however, if you’re in Dakar…must be these Chinese hackers again…(they got to fuzz up the info and pics of the invasion…)!
Gotta get one of these mechanic’s mirror on a stick
to peek under the car before stepping in…
Hey Ming, if I was leaving you a present under your car I can guarantee you would need a hands on inspection to find it. Of course finding it would be as bad as not finding it. Mwahahaha.
Ah! But there is vaayz to make sure that installing a “present” is even more hazardous as not finding it…
A curious episode indeed, in view of the present events occurring in these parts as we speak…
Back to the “vaayz”…you seen in Jo’burg these cars shooting a fireball of propane at whoever get too close to said car…just one of many tricks.
Yep. I’m thinking in a world where 3/4 of the population has died due to bioengineering or related cause, trying to lay your hands on a stranger might just get you self-defense’d.
Yay! Women who dont have a Boxers nose!
Boxer’s nose…
Inuits have stubby noses, while Innus have imposing ones, check Chief Iron Tail on the Buffalo nickel.
So it mean Girii had some Indian ancestors and got in plenty of bar fights…Yay! More action to come!
ooooohhhhhhhh. I know nothing of the Inuit. Just looks like a big girl with Rockys nose to me. Thanks for explaining.
Yeah, I don’t expect people to catch a lot of the subtle crap I stick in the comic. But Girii’s nose was intentional. I didn’t know the difference between Inuit and Innu, though — thanks, Ming. Learn something every day…
