And this, dear food processing industry, is exactly why you shouldn’t change the formula of your products!
Also, every Pearls Before Swine reader should have known from the start that a character named Tommy won’t see the end of a story arc alive. Disregard this, I’m stupid.
- Roger Brown: Very good. Now I can finally finish my work on the new Crunchies formula!
- Lloyd Parker: You changed the formula of the best cereal of all time?!!
- Roger Brown: That’s correct!
- Lloyd Parker: … And I thought Tommy was the bad guy in this story!
- Lloyd Parker: Die, fiend, die!
- Roger Brown: Wait, no!!
- Roger Brown: ARGH!!
- Sandy South: Uh-oh.

Actually, part of my really wants Qoo to turn around and use it on Hit-some-people-around, or whatever his name is. Having a Volcano God in his pocket and a Raccoon Goddess who holds him in high esteem seems like the perfect setup to attain World Domination.
Qoo: “As your new ruler, I demand the ground that I walk upon be carpeted by bubble wrap. Sure, it’ll take me ages to walk anywhere, but who cares? It’s bubble wrap!”
I just noticed that the hat was meant to disable brainwave manipulation. xD
While Every Power Rangers fan should have expected him to be the most awesome thing in the comic. 😛
If we’re just going by the name of course.
And THAT… is how you get rid of the characters you don’t need anymore.
“Preciousssss,,,,”
(Remember: Smeagol jumped!)
It would be pretty hilarious if the story ark ended right here, and was never mentioned again. Just have Sandra shrug, then go home and start eating a different brand of cereal
That’s just German for “The, Bart, The” :3

But anyone would have suggested that in his place.
And it just keeps on coming!
Three sacrifices for the price of one!
Arise now and we’ll even throw in a raccoon and a teenager!
Volcano is standing by!
I’m pretty sure that in Pearls Before Swine it’s Timmy that is a death sentence, not Tommy.
Got to say, don’t like the way this ended up. Should of just been Tommy that died.
@ 1oldbear:
So long as she keeps it away from Larisa.
STILL not as weird as that Noodle Incident.
@ Petah-Petah:
LOL ok now thats funny
well I guess Roger is tying up some loose ends
Was this whole story arc written in one cocaine fueled night?
Looks like they… trilby in wubble.
One crazy, one serial killer, and one cereal killer down. Burn baby burn! Too bad Larisa didn’t get to see it. Now run before the god of war blows up the mountain so show his appreciation for a triple sacrifice.
All I can really say about this is WTF?
Totally just jumped the shark….
“Disregard this, I’m stupid.”
*Hugs* Nah. You just changed the i for an o, Timmy for Tommy. Totally reasonable mistake.

Of course, you could just go back and edit all the strips to be Timmy, then delete or edit all the comments referring to the non-existent Tommy. 😀
So, unless I’ve missed someone (entirely possible), we’ve just seen the first deaths in this series. Unless there is an incoming MacGuffin, of course.

It depends on whether you count deaths that we didn’t directly see. In the ‘Larisa Selfie’ storyline, an entire mass of people (presumably numbering in the hundreds or thousands) were compressed into a black hole. And in a much earlier strip, We saw some dissidents about to be executed by a tyrannical government; With no indication of any superheroes swooping in to save the day.
I just love the Fzzzzz sound effect of the sacrifices hitting the molten lava, while Sandra and Woo watch.
Sandra is horrified. Woo mildly troubled.
And then RMMMB, the sound effect of a demon God arising from the volcano.
Looking forward to seeing Sandra and Woo’s reaction to the the return of a demon God.
If this weren’t a dream or somesuch, as Qoo I’d zap Sandy with the BWM just to make her forget what happened that day. Sure, it’d be an underhanded thing to do, but I can only hope such an action would be vindicated in the future by a Sandra North who lives in happy ignorance of the day she was kidnapped and saw three people fall to their deaths in a volcano inhabited by a resident god demanding a sacrifice.
Or, like, Novil can call in Doctor Woo. “Time can be rewritten!”
And to think that all this started over a box of cereal.

I am talking about visible deaths, which is why I mention a MacGuffin/ McGuffin, because while we may think they died, they might have just been knocked out on a rock ledge and the ‘uh-oh’ is more of a “how are we going to save these fools now that the volcano is erupting?”
Yikes…I really hope Sandra doesn’t get mentally scarred from this. I mean, humour aside, she’s been kidnapped, ordered to jump into a volcano, and then seen three men fall to their deaths into said volcano. Pretty violent, to say the least…
@ Brian:
This reminds me of the “Zorro curse”, in the series, if someone discovered his secret identity, was bound to die by the end of the episode.
you know, a strip or two back, people were commenting on lloyd’s shirt…
is tha red robot from diesel sweeties?
Two virgins and one GodBanger.
That’s probably enough.
