Reality-ing, I suspect (as in, Claire gets a clue-by-four of reality upside the head).

Guest comic up. Anyone here read A Girl and Her Fed? Never heard of it before, but it looks interesting.

(Maybe this time around I'll actually pay attention to who's doing the guest strips so I can get more reading material, wouldn't that be smart)

Hanners looks somewhat like Hanners in the last panel, but completely wrong in the earlier ones. I'm not sure what's off about it, just...something's off. I do like the strip overall though.

I, personally, see little Hanners except for blonde.

I fricking love this strip. 2015-Butt. Lol

I think it is her body language, Hanners is generally much more guarded in her mannerisms ie the last panel but in the first panel her posture is kinda saying "hey look at me." Also she kinda looks like Dora in the second/third panels.

I have been reading it for a few years now, and highly recommend it. The artist work has expanded leaps and bounds over the early days. Both in the art and storytelling departments. With a lot of interesting characters. It falls considerably more on the 'weird' side of the 'real life, but stranger' scale than QC. But there is a lot of very dense, interesting and well put together world building.

They may initially be thought of as Gods, but will ultimately be greeted as senders of Butt Disease.

Future historians will refer to the Trojan Butt that heralded the 100 year Butt War.

Rereading my post, it came out a little condescending. Sorry about that.

Gods, all right. The kind you try to ignore, and hope they do the same.

A PETABYTE, of porn. A PETABYTE, of greatness.

In all seriousness, if alien lifeforms do look like us, that would be a great way of making first contact. But I wouldn't have let pintsize do the selection, there might be interspacial tentacle monsters and they might find that offensive.

Zebediah · « **Reply #20 on:** 15 Jun 2015, 07:48 »

Worse, they might not find it offensive.

"We've analyzed the video that the humans sent us, and it's all about mating behavior. Apparently humans use mating as a form of polite greeting."
"Well, that would be great if our anatomies weren't so different. First contact could be awkward."
"Then I think you should look at this video segment."
"Whoa, they're into tentacles? Set a course for Earth, maximum warp! This is one first contact mission I intend to lead myself!"

BenRG · « **Reply #21 on:** 15 Jun 2015, 07:54 »

Or outright find it disgusting.

"Yuck! That poor planet, infested by fleshy, squishy things obsessed with their reproductive bodily functions like that! In the name of galactic aesthetics, we need to glass the entire thing so there's no chance of more of that gooey filth contaminating other worlds!"

pwhodges · « **Reply #22 on:** 15 Jun 2015, 08:55 »

Not a lot of porn makes the link to reproduction apparent; it's a pretty big jump to assume that aliens would recognise it as such.

Nepiophage · « **Reply #23 on:** 15 Jun 2015, 09:36 »

I just thought I'd mention The Lunatic Republic by Compton Mackenzie, a sort-of-SF satirical novel about life on another planet where life is the same as on Earth but exaggerated. The people speak a kind of English but many words are different -- "rocket" means "fart." There is much hilarity when the visitors explain that they arrived on a rocket.

I'll let myself out.

Zach probably just saw yesterday's comic and was... inspired.

I hope the Voyage of the Butt Rocket continues, though.

The Internet makes it easy to collaborate (IBM and Microsoft told me so). The point is that it would be trivial these days for the guest artists to confer on-line and agree on a set arc.

katsmeat · « **Reply #31 on:** 16 Jun 2015, 03:30 »

For a moment I thought the chap with the hat was one of the townsfolk in Alice Grove.

Which would mean one of two things - the porn comes back after being in a big eliptical orbit out in the Oort cloud for the last 7000 years. Or Alice Grove is actually a rip-off of The Village.

It'd be awesome either way.

Lubricus · « **Reply #32 on:** 16 Jun 2015, 03:52 »

katsmeat, your post gave me an awesome idea for an RPG campaign: Create a reverse the Village situation, in which magic is used to give the impression of living in a high tech society... I've got to try that!

Zebediah · « **Reply #33 on:** 16 Jun 2015, 03:58 »

It's been done. After all, any sufficiently advanced magic is indistinguishable from technology.

osaka · « **Reply #34 on:** 16 Jun 2015, 06:48 »

Now let's go back to the point of this comic: Yes young boy, you can feel strange things about other boys. Just... don't touch the butt in public if you're not specifically allowed to touch the butt. Common courtesy.

Hmmmmmmmmmm. The comic is misnumbered as 2893 rather than 2983. It must have gone back in time.

I, too, am enjoying the ButtRocket saga.

cesium133 · « **Reply #38 on:** 16 Jun 2015, 14:37 »

According to Jeph's Twitter account, the ButtRocket Saga may continue into next week.

So, prediction for #3000: Jeph returns from the string of guest comics, with a comic depicting the ButtRocket landing on the moon.

I'd never heard of it either. I started an archive crawl yesterday: "Clear the bridge! Dive! Dive! Dive!" Aoogah! Aoogah!

Hanners must have come up with a total-conversion drive for Butt Rocket 1, since it has no room for propellant-tanks (like 99.9999% of fictional space-ships).

Damn. As pitiful as it sounds, I'm going to be wondering all day how Marten was going to describe Claire's butt! I'm guessing that it was complimentary but I really would like to know.

Meanwhile, Pintsize's life expectancy has been revised down to "over as of now"!
