- Larisa: I had a dream about us last night.
- Landon: Okay.
- Larisa: And you did something very stupid that made me really mad. I want you to promise me that you’ll never do such a thing in real life.
- Landon: Okay, what is it?
- Larisa: When the time monster lashes out with its razor tentacles, don’t run away like a chicken, attack it with your flamethrower!
- Landon: Okay… I promise.
- Larisa: Every boy should know how to behave in such a situation!
The time monster… She doesn’t wanna be old? Oh Larisa, you know it well!
Larisa, that’s ridiculous.
That way, you’ll just be stuck with flaming razor tentacles attacking you. What Landon should do first is chop off the tentacles, than burn them with the flamethrower until they stop moving. Do keep an eye out on the monster, though, he’ll most likely regenerate his missing limbs before you know it.
Larisa and her flamethrowers… It never makes me bored 😀
I’ve seen enough movies and videogames to know that anything with tentacles requires a young man with a beard with a flamethrower to finish the job. Larisa should’ve asked him to grow the beard as well.
I am thinking about Larisa… You know, she and her parent have russian names… They were born in USA or Russia? Can Larisa speak russian? Does Novil know it at all? 🙂
I just want to know everything possible about that beautiful being. 😉
Landon! It’s been a while, kid. Good to see ya.
LANDON: Wh-what if I don’t have a flamethrower, though?
LARISA: There’s a time monster with razor tentacles on the loose. How do you not have a flamethrower! Seriously, Landon, I can’t believe you’re a Boy Scout. You’re never going to get a monster merit badge at this rate!
LANDON: But I’m not a Boy Scout.
LARISA: Well, then you should join so you can learn how to be prepared.
Wait. Landon and Larissa, and Landon is the one expected to have a flamethrower?
Landon could make a flamethrower, using a lighter and a spray box. Easy to carry and doesn’t seem weird to other people
@ Petah-Petah:
But that’s why he has the flamethrower. When the tentacles are chopped off, he can cauterize them with a blast of fire, preventing them from regrowing.
Not the sort of dream I’d have thought Larissa would have about him! 😉
Time monster? Tentacles? Larissa, have you been reading Jinky Coronado’s Banzai Girl again? If you start wearing miniskirts, those comic books are going straight into the attic.
Is this the metaphor for your relationship Larissa?
I mean you leave your old boyfriend (the footbal boy) because he’s an uncaring jerk. Maybe deep down in your heart you want someone who willing to carry the torch (heh) with you in happiness and suffering? Or in this case a flamethrower?
This is why Larissa is hands down my favourite character xD
@ Petah-Petah:
Telling Larissa that some monsters may be resistant to fire is tempting fate in the worst kind of way. 😉
To Cloud: Remember, the flamethrower will only serve as a distraction. Don’t wait for the time monster to charge Landon – he will panic! Get in close with the thermic lance and cauterise those tentacles and pseudopods at the root. You’re the only one with the necessary skill. Don’t let me down.
To Sandra: Don’t look at me like that, Sandra. You have to use the Voltsuit as the ancients intended – vertical dive, straight from above, drive the probes directly into its brainstem. And tell Woo to assume his vaporous form so he won’t get hurt.
Ivan: Yes, yes, I know. (grabs dusty canvas, points) Dark matter lances here, here and here, then stand well back. *sigh* I had the time monster dream too when I was about your age. Couldn’t rest until I got it down on canvas. It hasn’t come true, though. (chucks canvas back) Hasn’t sold, either.
To be fair, that is a situation everyone must be familiar with XD
Larisa’s face in panel 3 is supposed to say “I’m Serious!” But it truly screams “DAT ASS!”
I don’t think I’ll ever ask anyone what they dreamed again!
Larisa would be voiced by Cherami Leigh. Too obvious?
How in Kord’s name are you supposed to respond to that?
Of course, “attack it with a flamethrower” is Larisa’s default answer to ALL of life’s problems.
Out of Eggs? FLAMETHROWER!
Plumbing Problem? FLAMETHROWER!
National Debt? FLAMETHROWER!
@ Nick/Tyrong:
Yes Dear You are right.
‘Go not gently into that good night…’
Cherami Leigh as Larisa. Too obvious casting choice?
Well, why settle for a flamethrower if you can get a .50 Cal MG with Explosive Incendiary Ammo in your dreams?
Larissa is dreaming about tentacles? I’ve always wanted to know what goes on in her head. I don’t anymore.
@ Lockhart77:
Whoa, whoa, slow down there man! Baby steps. The flamethrower first, THEN you introduce Landon to the MG when he’s comfortable enough for higher firepower. I mean, geez, Larissa doesn’t want to scare the man away!
@ Brian:
It never hurts to have TWO flamethrowers! (You know…In case you use one up and/or the other person is incapacitated).
@ Brian:
After all, when it comes to fire, more is ALWAYS better, right?

Everyone is expected to have flamethrower…
however I myself would prefer a plasma rifle. Better heat to area of target ratio delivered. And well it generaly could be considered “flame”
Nick/Tyrong wrote:
Easy… “would you teach me how to use one?” But generaly to make an extremly short range flamethrover there is an easy way how to do one… most “sprays” (hair colors, disnfectactans) are flamable.
So with a bit of training you can ignite it using a lighter. (It was either in Blood or in Shadow warrior video game (I am simply not sure, hardly as iconic as doom)) Tried it, it works. but general sugestion is not to use it when can looses the pressure.
Pitty Landon is too young to know this classic 😀
@ Petah-Petah:
No, no, no! You SHOOT the tentacles. Once the core opens, THEN you bust out the flamethrower and go crazy. Just remember to use bombs wisely, and always do a barrel roll.
LarissaxFlamethrower or LarissaxLandon – which ship is more OTP?
If you have a flamethrower, you better darn use it boy!
@ James Rye:
Silly James! The answer is LarissaxLandon with a flamethrower! 😉

Oh soory… missed yours when making mine comment 😀
t-t-tentacles??????…Oh mind…why?!?!??!?!?!?!
@ Extraintelligence:
Do I spot a Greek mythology reference?
Don’t forget, Landon, if the monster puts on some wax wings and begins to fly away, the heat from the flamethrower might send it plummeting into the ocean. If people looking at it turn into stone, use your shield as a mirror. If it goes into a labyrinth, remember to bring some thread, which is infinitely better than breadcrumbs as a method to keep you from getting lost.
Yeah, my boyfriend and I have the conversations all the time. This is the first guy that didn’t stare at me like an idiot with my random fantasy-based outbursts came up.
Larissa and I sure know how to pick ’em ;D Landon’s a sweetie ^_^
And afterthought Landon… dont keep using the same word over again “Okay”. And I think Larisa may enjoy a bit of challege… think of another way how to attack the tentacle monster 😀
Fine! Is she going to chip in for the gas to use that flamethrower??? 😛
“Hey lady – it was YOUR dream, not mine!!”
I can see this conversation happening to me
so, now you guys know.
to save your relationship: use protection, Buy a flamethrower.
Food for thought, what does Santa get the pyromaniac who has been bad for Christmas?
Landon, do not shrink away from this. this is an opportunity. your girlfriend is know saying that you have express permission to carry a homemade flame thrower with you on all dates.
also you need to start carrying a bottle of axe spray and a lighter at all times.
@ GameCobra:
or a Japanese school girl nuf said cause i dont want to go x rated
@ shinyblue:
A fire extinguisher.
So they ARE still going out. And she gives him some of the weirdest and most semi-sensible advice ever. XD
Oh yeah, and her face in the third panel reminds me of that Jackie Chan thing that has him saying “Wait…WHAT!? Y U no make sense?” XD
