She has a point, you know. And Major Rucker is definitely taking all this pretty calmly. Or maybe he’s just very good at playing out rope in these situations…
Anyway, I got nothing to add this week. Work work work, that’s all there is from where I’m sitting. But hey, that’s all right. I like work.
See you all next week, folks!
“Colonel, a year ago, the possibility of us discussing a crisis over coffee would have been considered insanity. Days ago, we turned a DRZ border incident into an atomic war that burned up half the world. Then, a few days ago, that ‘machine’ of ours took over our electronic systems, cured one of my officers of radiation, and lead your people directly to our Command Post. Now, as of less than an hour ago, Mike has started showing signs of actual sentience, and you’re calling that insanity?”
…or do even some levels of insanity have their own limits?
I don’t think there is ANY limit to insanity. I’m living proof!
“[…] You know, we can… be all poetic and just lose our minds together.”
[or have our minds brutalised by red-MIKE]
BTW, I really like the dark green design of the Command Post Alpha’s furniture and interior. Very film-noir-esque. I guess that’s what you are aiming for, right?
Thank you! I was going for something that would have some variation in depth, but would bring the characters into high contrast. And also look kind of drab and Spartan, as befits an army base.
Do I sense classical dualism? The Blue-eyed Mike being calm and leveled safeguard, and the red-eye Mike exploiting a demon resting inside us?
Hmm, I wonder now if that’s the kind of robotic schisophrenia (however that is spelled), or Mike really has a “soul duality”…
The Schizoid Supertank? Interesting theory… One I’ll neither confirm nor deny. 😉
… I’m not ruling out the idea that’s Irish Coffee. If there was ever a time for it
Might be. I don’t watch them every minute, of course. 😉
Does Rucker like to drink? – Oh yes. – Does he drink too much? – Not for me to say.
He doesn’t always drink. But when he does, he drinks Dos Equis.
“For relaxing times, make it Suntory time.”.
Lost in Translation. What a great movie!
We never saw her mind get read did we?
Maybe. 😉
Can you read my mind Mr.Red bot?
“I’m sorry Dave I’m affraid I acn’t do that”
Dang computers, how do they work!
P.s. The TWC button doesn’t take me to the gate for 6-Comm, jut to the mainpage
Yeah, looks like something got screwed up when they redesigned their site. Of course, all the same comics remain at the top, as always.
Meh. I’m not too worried ’bout it. I’ll give them a few to sort it out, then just drop the banners if they don’t.
I’m intrigued by the difference in footwear between the Colonel and the Major. The Soviet is wearing a standard laced boot, but what’s the UN man wearing? Velcro? Some Back to the Future self adjuster?
They’re Velcro lace-covers. His boots lace beneath the flaps. It prevents snags getting in and out of armored vehicles, and on the crap they have nailed to the walls in their command post.
I think you’re the first person to notice that little thing!
I love all those little details, most of which I have yet to notice. 🙂
