![[0379] Abducted](/comics/2012-05-24-0379-abducted.jpg "[0379] Abducted")
The first strip featuring Cloud in 2012! This one is definitely in my personal top 10 list of Sandra and Woo strips.
- Alien #1: Fine, run away. Your loss!
- Alien #2: I told you from the start we should try it in Kansas. The people there are always happy about an abduction.
- Banner: CONGRATULATIONS! 1000th alien abductee
- Book: The Theory of Everything – Now available in English!
- Medicine: Panacea – Family size package

Obviously, these aliens haven’t got the best abduction tech. 🙂
I could make a joke about anal probing. I could…but I feel bad about it.
Oh, Cloud is back!
Yeah it’s cloud! I was missing him 😉 The Theory of Everything? I’ve gotta get one of those! I wonder if they have a copy at the library…
Looks like a small UNS battleplate (Re Schlock Mercenary)
These wouldn’t be the same kinds of aliens that “watched” Sandra before, would it? http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2009/04/02/0047-threat-of-divorce/
“Congratulations” is mis-spelled. Eh! What can you expect from aliens.
I love how you can kind of make out what the second alien is saying just by looking at the alien text…especially how “Kansas” is translated as a rough map of the state. ^_^
Did (*) originally say something including the words “your lucky day”?
I don’t think they counted on Cloud’s extensive hazard situation training.
@ Frank:
No, those aliens had a different ship. Then again it could be their civilization has its own nation states with different types of space vehicles.
@ Renia: 42
Are those 1 kilogram gold bars? By my calculations, using a density of 19.30 grams per cubic centimeter, those bars should have a volume of only 52 cubic centimeters, which is equivalent to a cube of gold 3.7 centimeters on each side.
But anyway, yay to see Cloud again! It’s been too long. And of course they have to pick the guy with the fastest feet in town …
Er… being from Kansas, I can directly refute the alien hypothesis. @_@ All wrong. ALL wrong.
I too am from Kansas. I also ALWAYS carry some form of firearm.
IF THE F***ING ALIENS TRY TO ABDUCT ME, THEY WILL GET A .45 IN THE,…. whatever is the most embarrassing and lethal spot.
Absolutely hilarious! =)=) Thanks, you made my day =)
@ Gilhelmi: Remind me never to tick you off…..
Loki in Stargate was significantly more efficient 😀
@ Gilhelmi:
the glodunarity lobe?
@ Neutrino:
They couldn’t get it all on the banner. The printer charges five kronigs a letter you know.
@ Neospector:
Not if they advertised it as free cancer screenings for people lacking medical coverage. Was half expecting to see that instead of the panacea.
Do my eyes play tricks on me, or are we seeing a slightly older version of Cloud here? If so, I think it’s wonderful indeed!
and to think, the only price he would have to pay is mild anal probing.
@ Random Guy:
Particularly as they had to have it and the book made with universal memetic lettering that changes in the reader’s mind to whatever script is most readable to them. That’s stuff’s hellaspensive.
(go on, click the german flag up top 😉
@ Alexander B:
No no, that’s only if they’re planning on installing a 40ft satellite dish in there
@ Roci:
Unlike the Simpsons, the characters do seem to be very slowly growing up. Compare the current versions against the early strips to see it most particularly…
Ooh, unpleasant thought attack. How long do Raccoons live? And Squirrels, Foxes?
@ C.W. Roden:
Or like human civilisation, they might just have different types of vehicles for different reasons, including reasons so trivial as aesthetic preference.
@ MaxBrains:
A 1kg gold ingot is about the size of a smartphone:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Goldkey_logo_removed.jpg
So those bars are probably in the 20-25kg range.
How about we just play-pretend that it’s some kind of alien marking that would translate, if it was written in the same memetic script as the banner, to “50lbs”? 🙂
They should have made an introduction via direct mail:
“Dear Mrs Williams,
In exchange for a deep physical exam (inc. anl. prbg.), we of the Bureau of Native Abductions offer your son Cloud the following supernatural combat enhancements: –
* Massively enhanced senses (neko transformation optional).
* “Bullet time” effect.
* Danger sense.
[…]
…In addition, he will receive a copy of the Theory of Everything (English language edition), a family sized pack of Panacea, the universal remedy, and a big freaking sword. That glows.
If you choose to accept this unmissable offer, please have your son located outside your urban limits at dusk tomorrow, preferably facing west.
Regards, Your friendly local BNA representative.
p.s. We are able to offer a two-for-one deal regarding companions/sidekicks/Significant Others etc.”
Ye Thuza: Cloud, why don’t you take Sandra out for a walk in the woods tomorrow? I hear there’s going to be a lovely sunset.
Don’t worry Cloud, your not missing much. “How To Serve Man” is a cook book!
That family-sized box of “Panacea” appears to have a large quantity of very small people.
Maybe that is what they translated “family sized” to mean…
Triangular on the outside, round on the inside?
Also, they might be able to aim their tractor beam better if they were to have a view port in the floor.
Haha, if we knew in advance what happens at an alien abduction…^^
There’s no way there’s no strings attached to this whole deal.
OH MY GOD!!!!!! THEY HAVE PANACEA!!!!
Nevermind that the other 999 were deatomized and Made into those prizes.
If that’s cloud they’re dealing with, I doubt they should expect to stay in the air much longer.
Is it just me, or does that look suspiciously like the USAF alien-tech ship from season 1 of the X-Files?
When I saw the spacecraft, I was reminded of a similar-looking one in Red’s Planet that was doing the abduction thing…
@ teezoen:
As a fellow Kansan, I concur!
I don’t think we’re in Kansas anymore.
Somewhere over Topeka…
Actually it is probably a good thing they didn’t pick him up. We’ve seen what he can do with a PLASTIC KNIFE. Imagine what he’d do once inside with his pocket knife when he thinks he’s in real danger……
@ Ajedi32: hahaha nice. I suppose that will do
Outstandiing work and very funny
By the way, your website is kind of messed up right now:
https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-Nzpzqg06xvs/T77FMEa55BI/AAAAAAAAAJY/NncNLZPGPi0/s640/Messed.gif
Everything is on the right hand side of the page.
This is possibly the most unusual and yet the best alien abduction “plot” I have ever seen! 😀
I don’t think Cloud is old enough and smart enough to appreciate a Theory of Everything. Maybe after he’s taken some college-level physics courses.
“Congratulation Mr. Cloud! you got all these prizes and of course an anal probing!”
*TARDIS appears, The Doctor emerges*
Not to worry! These aliens are FRAUDS! OBSERVE!
The gold and jewels? FAKE!
The Panacea? SUGAR WATER!
The Theory of Everything? SECOND-HAND COPY OF HITCHHIKERS GUIDE TO THE GALAXY!
As you can see, this was merely a tactic to lull their “guest” into a false sense of security while they led him to whatever unspeakable things they had planned…provided they could actually catch him, of course…bravo, by the way, Cloud. You’ll do great things some day! Trust me, I know!
*goes back into TARDIS, disappears*
