What the…WHAT!?
Or, as Joe so eloquently exclaimed, “HOLY $#!&!”
I’ve been sitting here twirling my metaphorical VILLAIN MUSTACHE waiting for this moment to hit because I knew it would crack your collective heads wide-open – much the like the Bear Idol’s noggin on this very page – and now that the moment is here all I have to say is, “MUAHAHAHAHAHA!”
Is it so? Could it be? Would we DARE?! You MUST be here NEXT WEEK to find out! ‘Nuff said.
In other news, the funding portion of the DDD Kickstarter officially wrapped up as of last week. We not only hit our goal of $3000.00, but absolutely crushed it, topping out at $6657.00 – 221% over the mark. I never DREAMED that the campaign would be so successful, and on behalf of the entire team, once again, I’d like to extend a HUGE thank you to anyone who backed the project and/or helped spread the good word. We, quite literally, could not have done it without you!
As we speak, the elves at ThreeOneFive Ranch are hard at work putting together the comic and all the other swag from the Kickstarter. So, as things progress I’ll make sure to update y’all on the progress we’re making, and maybe give you sneak peeks of the cool stuff that’s a’ coming down the pike. For some of you they will be tantalizing glimpses at the awesome goodies that will soon be delivered direct to your doorstep. For others, hopefully, it is impotence to make sure you don’t miss out next time. HA!
Well, it’s been a long weekend. My sister got married, and I’m still recovering from the rager that Evin threw in his hotel room following the reception. Bathtub full of beer. Fireball. Pizza. All good things…
Anyways, till next week!
-Matt-
Is there any particular reason that we don’t get to the the chin of the mysterious villain, and that his teeth are hidden behin the mustache?
“Would we dare?” – Well, it’s right there in the name. And you are not in Norfolk, Virginia, any more. The island may be called Fajro Kajpereo, but in reality it’s (Vince) Gilligan’s Island.
“Is there any particular reason that we don’t get to the the chin of the mysterious villain, and that his teeth are hidden behind the mustache?”
Nope. Just the way the face showed up in the reflection of the blade.
And, am I detecting and X-Files reference in the second half of your comment, or missing the point completely?
The “You are not in … any more” part is a Wizard of Oz reference.
On the whole, it was supposed to be a Breaking Bad reference. But Vince did a lot of work with the X-Files beforehand, and many influences ran over into his own show.
So you are not too far off the mark.
In my opinion, Breaking Bad forms a watershed in both TV and storytelling history, but I’m sure that the X-Files – like other shows that I never watsched – was one of the harbingers of that change.
I watched some of Vince’s interviews and never heard him say it, but I’m quite sure he would agree that “he could pee far because he was standing on the shoulders of giants” (that, btw, is a Schlock Mercenary reference, itself referencing Sir Isaac Newton).
Now, if someone could help me get down from this high horse, please.
Well, well, well; it seems that Joe has found our mysteriously missing idol. And wouldn’t you know it, someone else is trying to destroy the evidence! $5 says it’s the same guy who tried to have Joe executed; any takers?
You’re on! (Though it’s really not fair since I KNOW what is coming next)
.. well.. Joe finally used regulation profanity, eh? Wonders never cease. And now some schmuck shattered the idol to get a … shive?… out of it? Ignorant goofball, I could sell him just about any knife ever produced… WAIT A MO- red hair and ‘stash? Is this McGinty’s kin?
McGinty’s kin…now THAT is an interesting theory!
Joe, go wash your mouth out with warm water and soap!
I think McGinty is still dead, he was just told the Idol was full of ancient Jamaican Rum, and being dead was not enough to stop him from having a drink or two…
That or he is back from the dead a wee bit or (like the Good Sgt. said) he has some look alike kin…
In the end that is no reason to cuss Joe!
I just had a thought.
What if McGinty was a sly old dog, and knew that he would return to the living if he was buried on the island?
They obviously have some secrets to keep (like the Mysterious Volcano Machine) but, being made Immortal by the island would possibly produce such a care free lifestyle in the natives…
I like this theory A LOT too.
It is akin to when Spock’s casket lands on the Genesis Planet and it ends up regenerating his cells and he is basically reborn. (Circa Star Trek 2 & 3).
I AM GROOT
