The Battleship

The Battleship

Mr. Stinky’s metal chassis first appeared when he took a little trip to outer space back in strip 21. Today, it seems Flying Man has decided to procure his friend’s gold by force.

What do you guys think about the backstory links I’ve started doing? I have enough strips now that I can’t really expect everyone to remember (or have read) every last one of them. I figured it would be a nice touch to link to the relevant bits. I’ll probably go back through the archives and add it to every blog post when I get the chance.

    Damn, Flying Man should join the Navy if he can do that.

  2. Mum says:

    I like the links. You know how my memory can be. :)

  3. At first I was like: What? Then I went to the links. Then I was like: LOL

    Mr. Stinky will just make more gold I’m sure

    ???

  6. Ian says:

    TG, there should be no confusion. Clearly a sunken ship has been plundered.

  7. G says:

    Flying man is a pirate?

    Flying pirates are the best idea ever.

    I never knew our fuzzy flying friend was so greedy! Just another adjective to the list, I suppose…

  9. L.B. says:

    What does FM need with gold? Just because it’s shiny?

  10. Ian says:

    He wants it because Mr. Stinky has it. Mr. Stinky, on the other hand, is more likely to destroy something because someone else has it.

    Whoa. That was rad. I can’t believe you are at strip 81 already! It seemed like just yesterday that Mr.Stinky was not a turd.

  12. Ian says:

    I know, doesn’t it? Time is really flying by for me. Soon, it’ll be 100 strips. That’s a big milestone.

  13. SPEEDTIGER says:

    Boy mr sticky must be crying on the inside(seriously he has pores from the rock and roll episode.)

  14. Ian says:

    He most certainly is.

  15. Air says:

    Browsing through specific comics are too tedious. do you have plans for an archive page?

  16. Ian says:

    I need to work on the format of the archive, Air – currently, it’s just a big scroll of almost-full-size comics, a month at a time. But there is a calendar on the left.

    How can flying man be able to breath underwater.

  18. [...] first went undersea back in strip 81. Now, Mr. Stinky’s chassis is patched up, and he and Flying Man appear to be on better [...]

  19. LazybonesX says:

    The links are good. I mean, I’ve only just read all these over about two days, but even I have trouble– no offence meant, because its one of the cool things about this strip, but the continuity is hard to keep track of!

  20. Ian says:

    I hear what you’re saying, LBX – and it’s a tough line to ride, honestly. I love continuity gags, and I want the strip to be “rich” for regular viewers, but I also want it to be accessible to newcomers. Currently, it’s not very newcomer-friendly. I’m still sorting out how to fix that.
