“If Pac-Man had affected us as kids, we’d all be running around in dark rooms, munching pills and listening to repetitive electronic music.” — Marcus Brigstocke

Run, run, as fast as you can, run now!

They really Pac ’em in there.

Hide in Supplies—that’s where the spare spleens are.

The trick is in getting to the infirmary without running into Pac-Man.

Who used all the power ups? It’s weak. Poke it with a stick and pop it.

Wakka-wakka-wakka…

Not a good time to be wearing a blue top.

W. C reminds me of when Jack Paar hosted The Tonight Show.

Well there goes another spleen.

I wonder of Pac Man eats spleens?

run!

Back in the day Pac Man was my girlfriends favorite game, the only one she would play. When I asked her why she said "Where else can I get eaten 3 times for a quarter? :P

The Awful Yellow Things from Outer Space!

At first glance I thought the room in the lower left read “Powder Room” and wondered why it was so large.

So did Winky just come out of the closet? Maybe he better go back in.

Today’s comics must not be worth comment. Because I just got comments to comments I made last summer???

I remember a scene a lot like this from “Alien.” What a flick! Scared the bejabers out of me. And I wished I could’ve been in that escape pod with the ship’s cat and Sigourney Weaver in her panties. . .

Where’s Ms. Pac-Man?

Funny, but about 40 years late.

Pretty sure that is a map of Illinois and the white dot is a working stiff and the “pac man” is the ‘tax man’.

Funny, only tokenly relevant story: At the time I got married, I worked at a music store. Willie Nelson released a much-awaited album, and the manager ordered about 200 copies. HOWEVER, someone at the record company screwed up and instead put LPs of PACMAN FEVER, a novelty record featuring (horrendously bad) songs about various video games, into the Nelson sleeves. The comments we got when these ere brought back for refunds were…colorful. About on the par with the HEAVY METAL soundtrack cassette mess, which was nearly as good. An even more bizarre factory slip-up.

I’m guessing that they don’t get much done in that lab.

Sometime I would like to see the full directory, including the Bridge, the Starboard, and Dr. Mel’s lab.

Lots of offices.

My sister made a deal with her husband – every time he put a quarter in a Pac-Man machine, he had to give her a quarter. Bought herself a new wardrobe.

Hide in closet.

That would make those signs in the Mall more fun.

Protect your spleen Winkie

Pac-Man is now a Space Invader. It looks like a version of Clue.

I think Rickard is a Brit … “W.C.”

“My spleen!”…
