Hey, it’s still Thursday here : )
Of everyone in that strip, gotta say I like woo the best, sat there with the bat lol
*Whisper at the door: ‘Seven days’.
@ Robert S:
Totally agree, Woo looks awesome.
Captain:
Shields up!
Red Alert!
Activate the LAVA MOAT!
Officer: Lava moat not responding!
Captain: Go to manual!
Officer: Manual is not responding!
Captain (hitting ship-wide intercom) Attention all hands! Prepare to repel the enemy! Break out…the melee weapons!
Some poor red shirted smuck-Ah crap! I got the bat!
(can’t wait to see what happens!)
@ Crestlinger:
so they’re going back in time a week to make sure they finish the lava moat?
@ Leomon:
This schmuck could have worse, he could have get stuck with the chain!
Please tell me they’re at least going to check who’s at the door before attacking. You know, on the off chance that its actually someone who does not intend harm, like, I dunno, Hitomi?
@ Chanton:
I don’t know. At least a chain has more reach than a bat.
Wait, no one gonna ask the important question?
Is it A.M. or P.M. ?
I will predict that
It will be a zone inspector with hefty fine and thus fulfilling the “bad things”.
I mean there are stories where trying to prevent a prophecy ended up fulfilling it, like Oedipus (the infamous tragedy of a son who unwittingly killed his dad and married his mom) and Perseus (though because of his evil grandfather died in a sporting accident that Perseus was in).
@ t209:
All that hell, just because his parents couldn’t wait to see how he turned out, like everyone else.
Also, because he had a serious case of road rage.
@Novil: I’m sorry, but I can’t help but point out that you forgot to color Tyson’s skin.
Judging from the support beams under the clock, it looks like it’s a clock tower, and since it’s against a black background, it’s probably the morning. Also, shouldn’t Cloud be there to? He can use a sword to, and Sandra is his girlfriend.
Lava moat?
@ Zaphod Beeblebrox:
Wild guess here, but maybe Cloud was forced to stay home by his parents with the condition that Ye Thuza would be protecting the Norths.
I’m betting on it being the salesman from Vault-Tec.
Calling it now. This is 8:37AM, it’s going to be a false alarm, and Hitomi is at the door. Then comes the long waiting for 8:37PM.
Regardless of whatever it may be Sandra has Woo with a baseball bat, Ye Thuza with a katana, and Richard with Dad protecting his child powers all guarding her. She should hopefully be fine.
I bet on Hitomi. Or a false alarm and Hitomi at PM. When do planes from Japan typically arrive on the East coast? Early morning or afternoon?
@ GardeBlaze:
Considering that mysterious ringing phone with someone’s face glyph on it and all, it’s Hitomi, wondering why nobody answered the phone and came to get her at the airport…
At this point, everybody is going to feel trolled if it is NOT Hitomi…
Wait, the chimney stops short of the roof? That’s a serious fire hazard!
@ Zaphod Beeblebrox:
That’s not a clock on a tower, it’s a grandfather clock – you can see the pendulum hanging and the reflections on the class in front of it.
I like Woo with baseball bat! 🙂
In the heat if it all, we have forgotten a key point- he said her life would be changed, and they are ASSUMING it’ll be bad because 2020, but it could be good.
@ All-Purpose Guru:
Lava moat? 🙁
Unus Annus UNUS ANNUS
@ t209:
Whatever you say about Oedipus, you have to admit he loved his mother. Tom Lehrer
Let’s assume it is Hitomi at the door. We’ll ignore how she got past the moat.
(All anime characters can easily leap 10 meters vertically.)
That would certainly qualify as a “life-changing event”.
Richard would be happy. And Sandra would be happy — to see Richard happy.
But would Sandra herself see a stepmother as a plus or minus? We know she idolizes her real mother and might be more than a bit resentful of a “replacement”.
And where did Yuna find the “rare Princess Mononoke action figures” to fuel her fusion generator?
She said they were virtually unobtainable back when she was looking for something to enter in the Science Fair.
But Lava moat!
Cat girl time?
@ Mark:
I’m fairly certain a fusion generator wasn’t used for the lava moat@ Robert S:
@ alanaktion:
@ Hegel Marx:
Yeah, Woo with a baseball bat is great.
@ drgnbyte:
OK, yeah, I see it now. Although, judging from the amount of light in panel 2, I still think it’s morning. By the way, in panel 2, the moat’s not finished.
This will be the most awkward “Girlfriend meets the family” ever!
I think it’s Hitomi, coming from Japan
@ Zaphod Beeblebrox:
Compare for yourself;

That’s definitely a fusion generator. You surely don’t think she’s getting all that energy from her fraction-of-a-watt perpetual motion machine.
I’m surprised Cloud isn’t there with a sword of his own.
Waiting on the building permit is always such a pain
@ Mark:
Sorry, that last comment was an accident.@ Mark:
Yeah, OK, your right.
I’m not gonna lie, this is kind of making me think of the saga of Channel Awesome – specifically, the bit where their former COO had been making aggressive overtures toward one of the women on their site, and rather than go to the police, they brought her to a “safehouse” and guarded her. The group who escorted her there was described as “…A group of guys with baseball bats and a sword”.

Such is the terrible fate of Sandra: forced to live the rest of her teenaged years without a lava moat.
It is one thing to choose not to have a lava moat. That can be respected. Thought bonkers of, but respected.
But to be denied a lava moat? There is no word in Elvish, Entish, or the tongues of Men for such sacrilege.
I’m getting Don’t Escape 4 vibes here. It’s a pixel art game about setting up defenses against a disaster you already know in advance through a premonition. If you’re a first timer you likely will end up with incomplete defenses as you run out of time, like the incomplete lava moat in this strip.
So who’s ringin’?
It is a real thrill for me to see Ye Thuza with a weapon.
@ civiltongue:
Now, we want to see her using it . . . but not on Hitomi, of course.

Looks like some instances of whitewashing are just caused by the negligence of both the artist and the writer.
Fixed.
Where on earth did Woo get a coon-sized baseball bat?
