Transcript:
Jason: What's going on? I'm 10 feet tall and blue! And my hair has a long braid with a USB connector on the end! I wonder what would happen if I plugged it in that computer...It's like our minds are one! I can speak its language! This is awesome! Ooo-it wants me to write some object-oriented code... Jason: I had that "Javatar" dream again last night. Peter: You say that like I'm supposed to be jealous.

“Javatar” LOL… 3D for geeks!

“Java tar”, sounds like my coffee after being on the burner to long.

Will Jason be inspired to create Handwavium®, the cheep artificial room-temperature superconductor?
Rakkav almost 15 years ago
Yes, once he finds a sufficient supply of unobtanium.
Not having seen Avatar - heresy! - I have no idea yet what they call whatever it is they’re fighting over. (Before anyone spoils the plot for me here, I’ll see if Wikipedia or some other source has the spoilers.)

Once again, Jason shoves the Nerd-o-meter needle into the red.
Johanan: what they’re fighting over … I think they’re called “Oscars.”

‘Sun Microsystems’; not to be confused with
‘Lunatic Software’, an entirely different software
company, with a stong emphasis on ‘different’.

Blue skin? Blue Avatar group? Smurfistan? There got all the REALLY old jokes out of the way. Jason loves singing the blues. Oops.

Handwavium®?
I thought that the blue folks were all about Unobtainium.
Rakkav almost 15 years ago
“Unobtanium” is an old, old joke of itself, long predating Avatar. I had no idea - until looking up the Wikipedia article on the film - that Mr. Cameron et al. actually dared to use the word.

Love this strip! Mr. Amend, please reconsider bringing it back as a daily strip. It does what a comic strip is supposed to do, make you laugh! :D
Rakkav almost 15 years ago
Well, he had to get Valentine’s Day out of the way first…things do pile up.
javashaman almost 15 years ago
I totally had that dream last night.

Hey Jason… y’know what other, umm, “interface” the Na’vi use that little “USB connector” for?
Tomorrow night, Ellen enters your dreams…
EWWWWWWW!

Furienna: Keep in mind, these strips have to be done about six weeks in advance. I don’t know if Bill Amend has to do it like that, since he has 1/7th the workload of everyone else, but it does explain why he may not have gotten to it earlier.
