    Notice how Trudeau has subtly reversed the roles of Boopsie and Sam. Sam’s the adult now, Boopsie the child.

    “We of the planet Asulia . . . would never land on your stinking cesspool of a planet”You’re not fooling anyone, you Asulians! We know you landed again at the Giza pyramids to re-intialize your equipment.You Nephilim won’t get your appendages on the ‘daughters of men’ this time!

    I like how it is people who know NOTHING about physics who are the first to tell us about galactic synchronization beams, and so forth.

    history channel should cancel those show regarding doomsday, especially the ones that refer to 12/21/12. also, nat geo should cancel doomsday preppers. those shows have done more harm than good.

    People of Asulia, we of the Arquillian battle fleet have your space cruisers in our sights and WE lay claim to the Earth as we ordered the Nascar Lines .. er, Nazca lines.. well those lines you can only read from the air. We also know you caused the closure of the Twinkie production lines the Terrans used to raise their sugar conten in order to make the appropriate offerings to us. So back off. The Earth is ours.

    Sorry, babygirl. Glad you’ve got the stitches, though. Surgeons are much better now than they used to be — back in barbershop days.

    But it is the destiny of “intelligent” life to infect the universe. I just haven’t figured out whether we are a virus or the beginning of a cosmic nuclear reaction.

    Sam is definitely the adult in this strip; she has the squinty eye Trudeau draws on grownups. Boopsie has the wide eye that denotes her to be the child.

    “Never hurts to be prepared. So many ways our society could fall apart.”

    Got your crates of automatic assault rifles, your supply of high-capacity explosive-tipped ammo magazines, your war chests full of micro-nuke-tipped RPGs yet?

    It’s the Y2K thing all over again. Yesterday was all 19s (it’s a base twenty system, fingers and toes) and today it rolled over to …0000, the first day of Long Count 1. And the Mayans just added a digit or two when they calculated astronomical events after 2012, and did not need to reprogram anything. (Had they really thought the world would end, they would never have bothered!)

    Um folks the apocalypse was a distraction for the fiscal cliff. For starters you will lose $184 a month whether gov does nothing or comes up with a plan to take more from us.

    Well I don’t know about the planet Nibriu - the rest by Boopsie is accurate enough. ….. See…. those Mayans knew their stuff. Just no one bothered to hired the contractors to build the next calender.
