Where'd It Go?
« 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 ...

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.

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.
