Transcript:
Lars: How far could those two have gone? They're the only humans on the entire planet, so I should be able to pick up some kind of bio-signal... Jeffrey and Danae (out of frame): BELCH. Lars: Sigh... Ask and ye shall disgustingly receive. Meanwhile... But is it too late? Stay 'tooned!

They are humans after all, Lars.

Better hurry Lars, they might belch again.

Hey, a lot of the time we even disgust each other, let alone an intelligent alien
ozzimandius over 15 years ago
Well we are looking into the fate of some Toons……… so I’ld say that either would work……… infact since thisnt a radio I’ld say Tooned is likely even more corect smile
Superfrog over 15 years ago
Ok. I don’t belch , fart or do anything disgusting. I bio-signal.
Cool.

better hurry Lars. Two humans a male and a female lost in an entirely new ecosystem? Disaster can’t be far away.
wicky over 15 years ago
Get those two esp. danae back to earth for at least several hundered years, then, leave the female behind.

Hmmm, you mean those overgrown lizards don’t belch? Interesting.

Tooned indeed.

I play free safety, so I don’t ask to receive. Sometimes, I end up receiving anyway.

So the mystery maybe solved. Dinosaurs didn’t become extinct, they just migrated to another planet. & we think they had a brain the size of a walnut?

I guess you haven’t followed the story, Nozzi. Mars 3.5 is a twin planet in a synchronized orbit with Earth on the opposite side of the Sun. The difference is, they didn’t have an asteroid slam into them to wipe out the dinosaurs, so they continued on, where one of them evolved to a higher intelligence millions of years earlier than humans were able to on Earth, which is why they’re so much more advanced than us.
Now you’re caught up.

Lars, the alien in that sauceship looks for Danae and Jeffery to be rescued. They have good belching sensors that leads Lars to find them.

“tooned” (chuckle), now that Jeffrey and Danae have made their presence known, how long before someone tries to deport them as ecological hazard….

Mr Wiley, sir. excuse me but weren’t the dinos wiped out by bad executive decisions according to the story of Ele?
Trebor39 over 15 years ago
It’s possible the surviving reptiles evolved and became birds. And have you ever seen a snapping turtle? They’re truly prehistoric.

Superfrog, I had a girlfriend that didn’t bio-signal either. But her cat did…a lot!
lazygrazer over 15 years ago
I’m glad our planet was the one that got slammed by the astroid. Can’t imagine giving up my earthly belches in exchange for mere dinosaurs and UFOs.
Dutchboy1 over 15 years ago
Wow, those salsa, bean, and nacho cheese Doritos really do pack a punch. Lars better bring those two back home to earth before the dinosaurs on that planet go extinct also.

The big question for all the “young earth” folks is how Noah fit those dinosaurs on the Ark.
madKanga over 15 years ago
He didn’t - thats why they are extinct ;-)

I have to agree it’s sad. KF seems to have taken a RIAA style attitude to comics - fortunately they “only” represent roughly 1/3 of print strips …
As for Prince Valiant, it has always been “Sundays only” - essentially a never-ending illustrated novel published one page per week. Sadly it is no longer widely distributed, and further, many online print archives don’t include Sunday strips in any event.

So did we evolve from monkeys or did monkeys evolve from us? before you answer check out the downtown.

“many online print archives don’t include Sunday strips in any event.”
I’ve discovered that some don’t feature clickable links on the calendar, but that you can get the Sunday strips by changing the url of the Saturday date from “18” to “19” or whatever, then hitting “enter”. For example, I just got this “Crankshaft” strip from last Sunday to come up by following that procedure:

“On the Discovery Channel, I caught part of the “Wild Pacific” series. I learned that on an island near New Zealand, (I believe), there is a species of lizard-like reptiles that are essentially dinosaurs, albeit small ones.”
They’re called tuataras, and wild ones live on islands that belong to New Zealand, but are not the major ones (North Island and South Island) where most of the country’s people live. However, there is now a breeding population in a North Island wildlife sanctuary:
