funny joke,sure.
actually a ridiculous idea? not so much.
i propose question
How many times have you been flying when you thought to yourself "Shit, flying is awesome but goddamn it if right now i wouldnt kill to be 20,000 leagues under the sea with those bitching glow in the dark alien fishes from youtube."
and vice versa how many times have you been living the life aquatic when you thought to yourself "How i long for the embrace of my mother sky!"
why limit yourself? you CAN have both!
now sure Raven as a character has at times come across as "ditsy" but im pretty sure shes asian and if ANYONE can build a submacopter,lets face it...its those wiley aznz.

When Raven takes her idea to the Patent Office, she may find that the patent is held by the estates of three guys named Moe, Larry and Curly Joe. When I saw the submacopter sketch it reminded me of this 1963 Three Stooges movie that I saw as a child:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Three_Stooges_in_Orbit
The major difference was that their friend's invention also had tank treads making it a vehicle that could be sold to the Army, Navy and Air Force. If they could only stop bickering about who needs it the most.
And I realize that Jeph is probably too young to have ever seen this movie, so please don't construe this posting an accusation of plagiarism. Today's comic just reminded me of one of the many Saturday morning matinees that I enjoyed back when such things only cost 25 cents.

The Submacopter. Far inferior to the ROFLcopter. And it most definitely doesn't measure up to the PWNzer Tank.
-
If I remember correctly, Raven is Welsh, not Asian (where did you even get Asian from). And I doubt those rotors are very hydrodynamic, not to mention that submarines are heavy.
-
Yeah, I think it was Welsh.
As far as the submacopter goes, the weight could be partially offset by making the submarine smaller (maybe a one man scout ship type dealy?). Also, the rotor could retract when you hit water to reduce drag when you dive, or shift so that it's helping drive the submarine.

Raven's first name is Blodwyn, if you want confirmation.

Not that bad a name, actually:

Submacopter? Sorry Raven, pretty sure the Canadian Government beat you to it:

Hm, that's an antisubmarine chopper, it finds and either attacks by dropping depth-bombs or torpedo from the air or it radios for a surface ship to attack.
-
I've always been confused... When Raven went goth, why didn't she just change from "Blodwyn" to "Bloodwine" or something? She's that dumb?
-
HEY SHE LOOKED ASIAN TO ME. RELAX NERDZ

Hey, this is QC remember?? there are anthroPCs and space colonies. I think Raven should be successful with her invention (OK the plan she drew is really lame but I'll hold it down to liquor eheh). her father is an inventor, he could help her out.

I demans Submacopter t-shirts!

Imagine a world with submacopter...
The world may not be ready for such a world.
But F**K The submacopter is bad asss!
-
Isn't the entire purpose of a submarine to sneak around? How is that helped at all by making it fly so it can be easily seen and shot at?

I'm afraid that unfortunately, like most inventions, WAYNE INDUSTRIES DID IT FIRST

Blimpdozer is like, so inferior
But still so damn cool.

That it is, mate. That it is

Not that far-fetched, actually... here's a very recent report on DARPA's latest project:
http://news.cnet.com/8301-13639_3-10062038-42.html
Not sure where the Sea King came into the mix, but that does not go underwater. That said, it does have a special boat-type hull as the bottom half of its airframe, so it can float.
