“How can the same $@#& happen to the same guy twice?” *
I’m sure Joe’s feeling a little déjà vu, and rightly so. Only thing is, the last time he looked a hull breach in the eye he was hit by a wall of water, nearly drowned, and then swallowed whole by a WEREWHALE! But, this time might it actually be…stranger? What the heck is going on? Well, hang tight dear reader because…
NEXT WEEK Doc is on the CASE! Set your Internet dials to BELIEVE IT OR NOT, for a page that has to be seen to be believed! Seriously, use CAUTION and avoid consuming liquids while reading next week’s page, as the SPIT-TAKE quotient is ALARMINGLY high. So, be here in just 7 days when Joe and Doc have a close encounter that they very well might not walk away from! It all comes to a head next week so make sure to RSS, Like, or Follow.
In other news, the Daredevils where featured in a podcast by the fellas from Ancillary Characters. DDD is mentioned toward the end of the podcast – around the 50 minute mark – but make sure to listen to the whole thing as a lot of other great webcomics are reviewed, including our good pal Vince Dorse’s fantastic comic Untold Tales of Bigfoot. So, yeah, big thanks to the Ancillary Characters and Seth Breedlove in particular for the shout out. Glad you guys are digging the Daredevils!
Welp, that about wraps this bad-boy up for this week. But first, make sure to stop by the blog for the ever-exciting Sunday Bonus Lunch. Evin’s been using it as his private soapbox lately and has exposed the sordid inner workings of The ThreeOneFive. DRAMA!
Anyways, till next week!

*Props to anyone who recognized John McClane’s quote from Die Hard 2: Die Harder. If you think about it John McClane and Joe actually have a lot in common, other than McClane’s constant cursing and murdering, that is. Ha!
That’s gotta stink, just after they patch up all the little holes in their nice submarine, someone comes along and rudely punches another big one!
It’s a wonder they can get anyone to serve on military subs, after the way they are portrayed in popular fiction. You would think the bottom of the ocean would be littered with them.
I imagine it’s just like when you get your car washed and it rains the next day.
Deck seven? How big IS this thing?!?
Greetings Sgt. Howard,
A “standard” Gato Class submarine is 95 meters in length, has a 8.31 meter beam and displaces 2424 tons when submerged. The Custer is no different in these respects…
However, the Custer is also in NO WAY a “standard” Gato Class submarine.
The Custer can’t be a Gato class, as she has been sailing since sometime prior to 1937, and the Gato (first of her class) didn’t sail until mid 1941.
A privately funded V type is possible.
Of course, if you allow for time travel, a Gato class salvaged from the briny deeps in 2057, refurbished and upgraded, then sent back to 1920…..
The origins of the Custer are as enigmatic as the Captain at its helm.
All will be revealed in time.
Plastisized water. . how abyssmal. . .
Greetings Kaian,
Your theory concerning “plastisized water” is intriguing. I will be postulating my own theory on the matter next week…
And, I quite enjoyed your play on words – ABYSSmal – heh.
I suspect that is more or less water held by some sort of containment field, given the presence in the prior strip indicating ‘deep sea anglermen’ it is probable that this is their way of sending either a boarding party or an emissary. I’d bet a cordial hello by Morse code would have worked a bit better though.
Man, you are right on target, as usual, TKG. Well played…
