"You only live once" is not a sentiment I tend to associate with Narbonic plot developments. I count up to 8 times in the storyline that people violate that statement, depending on what you accept as the same bout of living.

Indeed, Dave's followup comment (see you next week!) is even funnier.

tune: "More than a woman," Barry Gibb, Robin Gibb & Maurice Gibb (The Bee Gees, Saturday Night Fever, 1977)
Apologies if this bit of cheesy disco detritus becomes an earworm. I like a lot of disco, but this song embodies everything detestable about the genre (and the movie). On the other hand, it scanned so well.

Zeta, I know you very well
You seem more like me every day
I never really looked before
But I see you in a new way

I think Dana knew it too
And I guess you must suspect
I don't know how it can be true
But our helices intersect

How did mad science bring you to this place
My sister from another mom
I see it in your eyes, your ears and your face

She's some kind of gerbil
Some kind of gerbil, oh yeah
Some kind of gerbil (ooh, ooh, ooh)
Some kind of gerbil, oh yeah

I used to always get sick when reading in the car too. It sucked, because nothing else has ever held my attention like reading, so car trips were always totally boring for me.

Ed: Sounds like Nick’s writing it, and is annoyed.

Today's strip, re-written as a Mad Lib, taking words from other comic titles:

DAVE: Laundromat's gassed up. I got the slingshots some Mad Libs at the --

ARTIE: Dave, may I pack shortly to you for a stick?

ZETA: Fuzzy? *sigh* The only thing more inexplicable than being shifted about, is being shifted about by arcades.

MADBOT: Can you do us a non-adventure?

tune: "Bad blood," Neil Sedaka

We stopped on the way to Canada
After beating down a bug 'bout the size of Omaha
On finding the Madbloods with time on their hands
I found them the perfect game, there on the magazine stand

Mad (Mad) Libs (Libs)
The 'bots are playing games
They need an adjective and some proper names
Mad (Mad) bloods (bloods)
Will think of funny words
It's like a jammie party full of android nerds

Nar bon nar bon n-n-n-nar bon bon
Nar bon nar bon n-n-n-nar bon bon
Nar bon nar bon n-n-n-nar bon bon
Mad Libs, I'm talking 'bout Mad Libs

Nar bon nar bon n-n-n-nar bon bon
Nar bon nar bon n-n-n-nar bon bon
Nar bon nar bon n-n-n-nar bon bon
Madbloods, I'm occupying Madbloods
