Probably the teleporter’s locked on Dave, not so much because of his DNA, but because it’s a product of his mad genius…

In reply to Leon Arnott (l). Yes, he can--the moon's gravity is one-sixth that of Earth, giving him John Carter-like strength and leaping ability.

In reply to Justin Kane (avatarjk137).

Well, I’ve been known to use “starkers” from time to time, even before I discovered Steampunk. I guess I just watched to much Brit telly as a kid… (Yes, I’m American, not that you could tell by my accent. -_^)

In reply to So It Begins (soitbegins). I'm sure that Andrew says the same about Helen's creator. ^_^

Artie's vision problems get discussed in an upcoming strip. Basically, Dave's eyes don't seem weak to him because his vision as a gerbil is even worse.

It's been pointed out to me that both Narbonic and Skin Horse feature male nudity this week. This is because I am awesome.

Bipedal locomotion is still not my strongest suit, and I've been human for 25 years (and one day).

Terry Pratchett discusses the same bilateral monocular vision through the medium of cows. He theorizes that it drives the cows barking mad, which fits with my experiences of cows.

Re: Artie’s vision – it’s probably so disturbing just having two eyes that point the same direction (binocular predator vision vice bilateral monocular prey vision) that focus is the least of his worries. One of the rewards for actually reading Moby Dick is Melville’s musing on what it must be like to have two separate fields of vision.

(TUNE: "I Believe I Can Fly", R. Kelly)

I didn't think a rescue would take long,
So I said, "What could possibly go wrong?"
And that invoked the Famous Last Words trope,
So now I stagger, stumble, fall, and grope ...

What made me sore was
I hit the floor, 'cause
Instead of four paws,
I've got no forepaws!

I don't think I can walk,
Every step is a stumbling block ...
I know I must be an amusing sight,
Putting left foot in front of right ...
And for sure, I can't run
While Mell is swiping Madblood's neutron gun!
Being biped's a crock!
I don't think I can walk!
