page 376 – What’s behind box number one?
I’ve been complaining about my lack of buffer or unpolished pages for a while now, and I think it’s time to change things up. Let’s bring back that old favorite: COMPUTER PROBLEMS! Yes, once again technology has decided to take up arms in a valiant attempt to annoy me out of existence. In a move that’s less like Murphy’s Law going coming into effect and more like some spiteful demigod mocking my hubris, the external drive with all my backups is apparently toast (and it’s also where all my music was stored. CURSES) And that’s just the biggest problem…
So, yeah. That’s why this page is up so early, I just wanted to make sure I COULD get it online. Next, I’ll be burning the midnight oil to try and get as many additional pages finished and loaded before I inevitably have to ship the computer off to get taken apart AGAIN…
OH! But there’s a new voting incentive! THAT’S good, right?
(Historical Notes: There’s a strange, mysterious balance off just the right number of in-universe, in-joke and technobabble heavy signage and casual, needlessly hostile, leaning-on-the-fourth-wall signage that I haven’t figured put yet. This comic seems to go through long stretches of too much of one or too much of the other. Those labels on the box show that Far Out There was right in the midst of the latter at this point)
I have a feeling that Mad Scientists put those sorts of signs on every box they have, whether or not it has anything dangerous in it.
If your luggage appears too harmless, the other Mad Scientists might make fun of you.
…and they deliberately pack extra stuff they don’t even need JUST so it freaks out the security sensors and makes them look cool.
