I misread “might snuggle us” as “might smuggle” us. Which… well, honestly one would probably follow from the other anyway :p.

In reply to Tetra Valent (4_valent). I thought was that they'd somehow gotten one of Mell's lines.

Pick a hot cartonist you forgot to draw elsewhere and claim it's her.

The ganache is one of the finest offhand lines in the strip. It really points out what the rest of the world is dealing with when they try to approach the Sane Study of Mad Science.

@jwgh: You're right, that scene also wasn't in the MST3k version. I guess it would have been too serious and un-riffable, what with actually being a pivotal moment of clarity for that film.

The original misspelling of "ganache" in today's strip sticks out in my mind because I'd been struggling to remember how the heck to spell that very word at that time too! (since I had very recently gotten into truffle-making - was this strip around the same time as the Good Eats about truffles?) I thought it was "ginosh" or something.

If it causes cavities, would that be ganacheing of teeth?

Nice save, hamsters. He didn't even realize you evaded the question.

Saturday:

I'm assuming the half-mile layer is measured by diameter and not depth, because no way is that island more than eight-tenths of a kilometre tall.

There's a spelling panache joke in there somewhere, but I ain't gettin' it right now...

I always kinda figured she made the pretense so that the Metalunans wouldn’t be able to…um, exploit their relationship, in some undefined way? …I got nothin’.Maybe it was to keep the Professor from thinking too much about being stuck on an island with Ginger and Mary-Ann…and four hangers-on.
