Title: Where'd It Go?
Post by: mike837go on 24 Jun 2011, 06:06
Has anyone been keeping track of where the Espressosaurus has gotten to?

It wound up in White Board on the same day it disappeared from QC. Along with a can of diet soda.

Any other sightings? Or will proof of Nessie be easier to find?

Since it faded from Whiteboard's lab, I'm guessing its 96,763 seconds = 1612.7166... minutes = 26.878611... hours are up.  It'll be back in CoD next time we see it. 

Just in time for the morning shift after the big date.

Due to a miscalculation on Raven't part, it will reappear wherever Marten is at that moment and displace/destroy some portion of his anatomy in the process.

That's cold. 


Or hot, depending on the state of the espresso.

Wouldn't it be cool if this became a Thing in webcomics and the dinosaur kept teleporting in and out of different comics? It would seem like a natural part of the Girl Genius world, for example.

... And Espressosaurus II reappears -- either in CoD or in the gallery owned by the guy who commissioned it -- and promptly dispenses ...

Was it Jupiter or Saturn. Sources (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2001:_A_Space_Odyssey_%28film%29#Jupiter_Mission) disagree (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2001:_A_Space_Odyssey_%28novel%29#Plot_summary).
Title: Re: Where'd It Go?
Post by: DSL on 28 Jun 2011, 20:26
Prefer Saturn/Iapetus myself, but it's 1 1/2 movies vs. one book, and then Sir Arthur used Jupiter from then on, in "2010," "2061" and "3001." Dangit.
Title: Re: Where'd It Go?
Post by: akronnick on 28 Jun 2011, 20:43
Or as it is spelled in the book (at least my copy, a paper back from the late '60s) Japetus.
Title: Re: Where'd It Go?
Post by: DSL on 28 Jun 2011, 21:00
Yep, Sir Arthur used the J. In those wiki articles you linked, there's a section about I vs. J. No wonder Ol' Red Eye went meshuganah.
Say, there's an espressosaurus stuck in the antenna-pointing thingy. You better go outside the ship and fix it.

Nice, except they're not both tyrannosauruseseses! The second version was more like an apatosaurus or something like that.

Also, you said the couple purchased the original. While I'm not sure what happened to the original, 1648 (http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1648) clearly indicates that the new one was created for the studio.

I fixed it though.

I like how Mr. Gallery Man is relatively nonchalant about the sudden appearance of Espressosaurus II, but is concerned about what might happen next. Apparently this sort of thing happens all the time in the QCVerse. Little robots running around? Psssht. That's nothin'.
