Kate: Wait, Petey, you see something glowing in there? What does it look like? Petey: I dunno... What sort of thing glows? Kate: Let's see... Fireflies glow. Is that what it is? Petey: Um... I guess so... Kate: Uhhh... Nuclear powered fireflies? Danae: OK... Now that would be cool!!

Oooooh, “Nuclear Powered Fireflies” do they have a tiny mushroom cloud when you swat ‘em?

Ah, the creek that runs blue/green like liquid draino. Not that Happy Camp is any worse off for it. High-light of that place is watching the bears eating at the dump.

Actually, wouldn’t that be hot?

There’s no danger in radioactivity. Just ask the cast and crew of *The Conqueror *. Oh, wait a minute, they’re all dead of cancer. RIP Duke.

It is so bright. It’s obvious that DocT’s Nuclear Coffee is the source here.

Someone could of just left the light on. Tom Bodett perhaps?

That’s a lot of light all of a sudden. Is Dad in there?

Hey… what about poor Petey?
All we want is…. squirrels, squirrels, squirrels,squirrels.

Or maybe someone forgot to turn off the light?

Oh no…laserflies!

It’s either Lars working on his propulsion system or my mother-in-law is cooking again!

Maybe somebody opened the trunk of a Buick 8

Hey DOC TOON, come over for coffee. You’ll never believe what we found. Don’t know if we can harness it during the day, but most of our posting is predawn anyways.
Don’t want to insult you but NUC COFFEE sucks rewarmed and my microwave door doesn’t quite close now.

Isn’t that the shed from some Stephen King novel???

Pity that the mining corporations (those who take the profits) didn’t have to clean up after themselves. When they’re done, just leave it for the citizens to pay, either through health problems or tax dollars.

It could be a 1964 Chevy Malabu driven by a lunatic government scientist, with Top Secret cargo in the trunk. Helping Hand Acceptance Corporation is offering a big reward for the car.

So, they finally built a shed around Area 51, but they forgot to post a guard to keep intruders out..
cleokaya over 14 years ago
Maybe the sun that has been absent in the PNW has been locked away in a shed since May.

Do “nuclear powered fireflies” have nuclear piles?
DolphinGirl78 over 14 years ago
Oh my…
Justice22 over 14 years ago
^ Hard to move the Sun from the PNW to Maine though. Lots of postage.
Wildmustang1262 over 14 years ago
Could be a NUCLEAR LASERBULB? NUCLEAR LASERFLIES? NUCLEAR FIREFLIES? WHAT ELSE do we think of since the light popped up much brighter. Poor Petey, he got scared hell of it. I hope he or she will not become a BLIND! :-/

The Locnar has returned to Earth.
MisngNOLA over 14 years ago
I’m with Sheik on this one.
lazygrazer over 14 years ago
Probably just some kids playing with the light-switch again…
Destiny23 over 14 years ago
Hope this firefly comes with a dimmer switch!
Jaroca2 over 14 years ago
What Carolina Girls said. It is Maine after all. Ayah!
We have’nt seen Captain Eddie in a while. Maybe he got “locked” in theyah by “mistake”?
Jaroca2 over 14 years ago
Cleokaya,
I live at a beach in the PNW. What is this thing of which you call Sun?
Please ‘enlighten’ us !!!
Quabaculta over 14 years ago
If there is a machine being powered by egg-crates of batteries…..RUN!!!!!

If anybody gets past the blasted late spammer - it can’t be cooincidence that in third the panel, the window looks like nothing more than a church window. Can it?
theherb95 over 14 years ago
Why a popup rated by Web of Trust as very poor in every category? Reflects poorly on gocomics doesn’t it.
JP Steve Premium Member over 14 years ago
At least we didn’t see an x-ray view of Petey!
pbarnrob over 14 years ago
^^Don’t see popups; Google [hosts file] for a good fix, and avoid all kinds of ads and malware…
