Every normal man must be tempted at times to spit upon his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.

All right, I’ll admit it.  I have a little bit of ‘Rule of Cool’ going on here.  The end of the chapter is approaching, and I could spend more time laying the ground work for Dahnai’s escape.  But since we have a ticking clock going on, I think the pacing works better if we get straight to the NARWHAL SURFING AWAY FROM A NUCLEAR EXPLOSION and drop the exposition afterwards. Don’t you?  🙂

    My new favourite way of escaping a nuclear explosion

  2. Ryan says:

    Looks like you’ve one-upped the exploding horses scenario.

  3. Remus Shepherd says:

    An explosion like that would take a whole lot of horses.

  4. NJB says:

    I wasn’t aware that narwhals made effective radiation shielding.

  5. Zarpaulus says:

    Lots of blubber.

    Wonder where she’s headed, the Arctic Circle?

  6. DanielLC says:

    Shouldn’t the tusk be further to the left?

  7. Ming the Merciless says:

    “Shielding”? why? they’re already at a safe distance…Nuke’s powers are not unlimited.

    And for nuking all whales, the new potentate with a wig would need thousands of warheads.

    Since whales are protected, they proliferate and the seas are lousy with them.

  8. Ming the Merciless says:

    The tusks are canines…Narwhals often have two and are the only threats to Orcas.

  9. Remus Shepherd says:

    “And for nuking all whales, the new potentate with a wig would need thousands of warheads.”

    Or a zillion horses…

  10. --jt-- says:

    Whales gotta be _at_least_ as good as kitchen refridgerators.

  11. watching says:

    I love this comic, Where else can you find a story that has an Anthro dog escaping a nuclear explosion in a cybernetic narwhal?

  12. Moxie Man says:

    Ah, jt, is the narwhale lead lined like that refrigerator supposedly was? 🙂 I hope not, else, it’s not going to float/swim very well.

  13. --jt-- says:

    Hmmm….
    Forgot about the lead lining. Only saw the film once.

  14. Nynaeve says:

    Suddenly, Jedi of the Sea takes on new meaning, surfing on the wake of a nuclear explosion…thank you Weebls and thank you creator!

  15. Moxie Man says:

    jt: once here too. Once was painful enough.

  16. --jt-- says:

    “An explosion like that would take a whole lot of horses.”

    Naw. Just some fissilable material instead of C-4.

  17. --jt-- says:

    MM: XD

    If it’s midnight, he may be about to be baconed.
