-ckstar Farms was potentially my fault. One of my email addresses back then was darkstar@

Probably easiest to just describe Bun-bun as omnicidal.

Huh, now I kinda want to make a comic with giant gerbils too. I wonder if it would be a better idea than the planet-hopping ex-post-apoc-gang with the 300 year old alien tag-along and no universal translator…

“I grew up in northeast Ohio, of course.”

You have my deepest condolences.
You appear to be none the worse for it, however.

I agree with Michael that Thursday’s(?) strip wasn’t cuttable. It is a worthy addition, not only establishing Mell’s age, but giving Helen some character development, acknowledging Dave’s place in the social dynamic, and breaking the fourth wall. What more could a strip entry need?

I have to say, the primitive shading on the bar has a kind of class rarely seen in webcomics nowadays. Or anywhere.

Friday's Comic: Aha!

And this episode validates the usage of the "ur-" prefix in "ur-gerbil", which is something I'd been wondering about at this point.

The phrase "the mighty gerbils prehistoric Man hunted and feared" makes me think of the Sandman story "A Dream of a Thousand Cats."

This is MY comic! A friend of mine and I traded Narbonic strips for christmas and this fine piece of original art on high quality bristol board sits mounted nicely in my house. I’m the envy of all the mad-scientist’s on my block. Thanks Narbonic!

Friday's Comic: The phrase "net.funnies" has catapaulted the nerdiness of this fledgling webcomic even further into the stratosphere.

What isn't told in the news article is that two of the mutant gerbils escape alive, and will re-enter the story in about two years. (I wonder, did our omniscient author forsee even these events at this point?)

Fourth-wall dialogue running total: 7.
