Ed: You can't go wrong when you stick with the classics. Like Narbonic itself. By the way, if Artie is Data, then Dana gets to be Lore. See, it works.

Artie could have been Data, except that Artie *doesn't* want to be human.

Yet.

BTW, nice job Kay (hey, that could be a song lyric itself)

I know it's been used a lot, but we seem to be on a cartoon theme song kick here ...

(TUNE: Theme to "Underdog")

This demon who became a man,
He owed a debt, so turned and ran!
'Most any fiend is better than
This wimp, so we must make a plan
For Caliban! Caliban!
Caliban! Caliban!

Data's Dave and Worf is Mell now!
Hope we don't end up in Hell now!
Caliban ... (oo-oo-oo-oo ...)
Caliban, Caliban!

Saturday:

"...so we all die at midnight." is one of the more hilarious staff meeting summations in this webcomic's run. (But then, this is actually only the 6th meeting strip so far.)

Helen just can't get any of her human workers to take any bit of this story arc seriously.

tune: Roger Ramjet theme (Yankee Doodle, if you're a stickler. Hey, a filk of a filk!)

Helen Narbon is Picard
David thinks he's Data
Mell is Worf, that one's not hard
She'll prove it to you later

Caliban is Q this time
A demon who's now human
Artie's fast and sharp, like Data
David's Number Two, man

Dave is Riker, it's so clear
His own ship declining
Not a leader 'til the day when
He'll turn into Khan Singh

"They're flying into the World Trade Center," muttered an old man. "What for, I wonder. It can't be to buy postage stamps!"

I dunno; I don't really see much of a connection. (Beyond both being the triumphs of bloody-handed terrorists, anyway.)

@Jonathan: wow, it works in the forum, too.

The english lurker finds this highly amusing.

(TUNE: "He Is An Englishman", Gilbert & Sullivan)

When Caliban starts speaking,
With culture he is reeking,
Like a proud and proper Brit!
Like a bloody limey git!

He sounds just like a Tommy!
A proper poncy pommie!
Like a BBC 2 skit!
Like a bloody limey git!

And when to Hell he's back sent,
He'll scream with proper accent!
He'll complain and have a fit,
Like a bloody limey git!

In red-hot chains he's writhin',
And he'll quote from Monty Python!
Like an upper-class Brit twit!
Like a blo-o-dy-y li-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-mey git!
