Hello Darkness, My Old Friend – Chapter 9, Act 1, Strip 48

This is far from the first time that Snuka’s friends have left him dangling in some form or other, but it’s a lot more stressful than the usual scenario.

Of course the Professor has assured Snuka that there is no danger at all, since he would be covering him with the tranquilizer dart gun…and he has a youthful set of eyes again, so theoretically he should be back to being a crack shot, like he was the first time he was young.

But natural reflexes care little for such academic assurances, and Snuka’s brain still felt that the emission of a bit of stress hormones is appropriate in any kind of situation where a set of razor-sharp teeth are being propelled straight toward your crotch.

Of course the hind legs of the various crocodilians weren’t as strong as those of the raptor, so they didn’t get nearly as close to Snuka’s family jewels…which is probably why he rates those heart attacks as ‘unnecessary’. But the last one was absolutely called for!

All in all, though, a nice piece of science gotten done. Great work!

More on Thursday.

  1. Poor Snuka. He doesn’t want to end up back in the Netherlands of the Force via bloodloss from THERE.

    1. Yeah, he’d actually like to avoid going back to the Netherlands of the Force in any case…but he’s been particularly protective of his crotch ever since the Gouda incident.
