How nice the truck is a twinkies truck. Oh the teleporting part reminds me of ‘Jumper’.
I take it that eqcomics is based in the 21st century, so why is there so much talk of witchcraft?
Awesome as always Dan. I love the story in this one, the act of helping a stranger causes bigger problems, that would definitely be the luck of it. The last panel is awesome.
That’s what you get for helping strangers, for sure. This is why I don’t help old women cross the street. That’s the boy scouts’ job, and they can take whatever consequences there might be.
I did think about that, drewbie, but did you know that there are many places (especially small towns) in the USA where a four-way intersection is an assumed stop? It’s true! I remember a high school teacher of mine telling us how he though it was strange to see stop signs everywhere when he first moved to Missouri. FACT
Also, this is an appropriate theme for todays strip in light of this article from PopSci earlier this week. This article says that teleportation of energy has theoretically been proven possible.
By teleporting your car into another person’s body? Or just by teleporting yourself into their car and beating the sense out of them (while you unknowingly let your car run over an innocent troop of boyscouts.)
There goes my dictionary again, saying that teleporting and boyscouts aren’t real words. But it did offer “boyscout,” leading me to believe that there is no such thing as multiple boyscouts in one place.
It’ll always come back to bite you when you say anything along the lines of “This can’t possibly get worse.” I say “This can’t possibly get any better or more lucrative financially!” Because if the jinx works, I win!
This is another top-notch comic, Dan. I try to predict what you’re gonna do by the end, but you constantly juke me. I guess this teaches us to never try to alter the time flux, huh?
Exactly. If The Butterfly Effect and Back to the Future Trilogy taught us anything, it’s to leave the flow of time alone. Well, I guess it worked to their benefit in Back to the Future. Whatevs.
Does he weigh as much as a duck? Because then surely he has to be a witch.
Is the rabbit he’s standing on happen to be a Trojan horse of some kind? Just asking, because if so…….I need some coconuts to bang together in a clip clopping fashion.
This raises me a question for everybody, who, if any of you, has stepped into the twilight zone?… I did once, and it wasn’t exactly one of the most normal moments in my life,

yesterdays witchcraft, became yesterdays communist black lists, is today’s “You’re either with us or against us mentality on everything else.

If he’s still in the zone, those people may not be from the 21st century.
Hey Steph, if I see teleportation today, I’m assuming it’s witchcraft, that’s all I’m sayin!

I think that in an alternate universe, the man kept walking once he had teleported. The result from this would be he got run over anyways.
On an unrelated note, Firefox does not recognize the word “Teleported” in the standard dictionary…I’m gonna have to add that one.
I need to start updating my Firefox dictionary. It pains me to see dotted red lines under legitimate words.

I laughed at this strip, but on further inspection, I was bothered by the lack of a stop sign in panel 2.
I did think about that, drewbie, but did you know that there are many places (especially small towns) in the USA where a four-way intersection is an assumed stop? It’s true! I remember a high school teacher of mine telling us how he though it was strange to see stop signs everywhere when he first moved to Missouri. FACT

I didn’t know that. I wonder how many “assumed” stop signs I’ve run…..they should put u p a sign or something.

Nice! I suffer from extreme road rage, so teleportation someday would be fantasmo.

Hah, by teleporting from one place to another, to avoid driving altogether.

Remember no matter how bad you feel, you are probably going to feel worse. That last panel is a hoot. Loved the whole thing though.

Dan, this is awesome! I almost saw it coming, but not quite. I love this “Twilight Zone” run.
Thankya! Twilight Zone is one of the *maybe* five shows that I watch. I had to do this sometime.

Bunnies deserve it! They’re evil!
…and just because Nightcrawler looks like a demon doesn’t mean all teleporters are demonic!
Nightcrawler is my favorite of the X-characters. He should have his own movie.

Heh, time-freezing stopwatch. It reminds me of:
1. the movie “Clockstoppers”
2. one of Doraemon’s 22nd century gadgets
