Did that line about the pit bull, lipstick, and running for Vice President remind anyone else of recent events?

I’m pretty horrified that anyone would keep gerbils in an aquarium less than a fifth full of wood shavings. Peat, people (if you can’t get them proper desert soil), and a lot of it! They’re *burrowing* animals, not damn hamsters!(there also doesn’t seem to be much to chew in there, but that’s probably just because they already chewed it all up.)

I can’t find those guys on the Sporepedia, sadly… they probably got wiped when they instituted purging.

There is some other neat stuff related to narbonic, though! Link to a search for everything taged ‘narbonic’: http://tinyurl.com/narbonic-spore

(It’s tinyurled ’cause the search links are CRAZY long)

If the Spore ur-gerbils invaded, <i>I'd</i> capitulate quickly. I'm scared of them.

There've been a number of strips already that illustrate this, but while I'm thinking of it, I love the way the charcaters' eyes roll up to try to see Artie when he's talking if he's sitting on their head.

In that last photo, Artie the non-ur-gerbil is staring in horror at the electric razor, realising that somewhere in the near future, Mad Science is going to happen to him.

"Pit bull owners may take offense at having their dogs compared to Mell, but in fact later in the strip Mell does put on lipstick and run for Vice President."
Well played!
