Dr. Stick up the butt LOL

Sure he is winning all these petty games but honestly...what does he hope to REALLY get out of it.

You'll have to wait and seeeee

I guess so LOL

Also I think he is losing it considering the way he reacts to his plans meet with success. He best watch that mind of his...and that he doesn't lose it completely.

I think he may already have long before the labs XD

LOL

hahaha best strip ever

3rd time asking this, damn wall of fail. Is there a creeper in that lab?

I still don't play Minecraft, but I at least know what you're talking about. There isn't a creeper just lots of hissing Pai's and water sprinklers

haha nice. I loveee the expressions on this one

1) thats funny

2) good thing that match was able to light. it would have stucked if it didn't X3

Nine would have been SO DISAPPOINTED! His diabolical plan would have been foiled!

I want to see him fail now D: that be fun as a mini comic or as one the reader gets to choose what happens like in 's comic "Cruelty"

It'd just be a single panel though. Nine with a bent, scuffed match and an expression that clearly states 'FUCK MY LIFE' XD

well...I would think that would be kinda funny to see >.>

Dices face in the fifth panel is just awesome!! X'D

Damn, now I want to see Nine bust outa there with nothing but tinfoil and sodium. :/

I doubt he'd know what to do with either of those things, he'd just roll up the tinfoil into itty bitty balls and ping them off the back of Dice's head.

Nevermind; that would be way better! XD

The good Doctor will be taking his revenge some how :3

Durr face at the "clap clap clap" omg so cute XD

If I were Nine there'd be a bit more hurry in exiting...

AHAHAHAH! YES! Been waiting to see what Nine was gonna do with that and I must say.....I APPROVE 100%. That look on Dice's face was totally worth it. <3 <3 <3 Yay expressions. Hopefully soon to be no more (-_-)face.

Dice x Nine can't waaaaait!

Also, Dice so should have 'poofed'! That would have been so cute haha

Hehe, yes, this marks a bit of a departure from Dice's deadpan. It's still going to be there, but he's not entirely composed now :P
He only seems to poof when flustered/afraid etc., right now he's more angry than anything. And angry feathery men aren't intimidating really XD

haha, this is true and now i remember u saying that, still very cute tho ;)

The clapping reminds me of Donkey Kong XD Nine is the Donkey Kong to Dice's Diddy.

Great comic, I giggled!

In the stream it was mentioned that he looks like a seal. I laughed. He does.

I see it got your

*sunglasses*

Seal of Approval!


... I should probably be ashamed of myself right now :P

That's exactly what I thought when I looked at the panel.

"Arph! Arph! Arph!"

Give me my blanket! GIVE ME BACK MY BLUE BLANKET!

This page is AWESOME. Also, you mentioned The Producers and MacGyver in the same post. I think I love you

Hahahaha! look how pleased with himself Nine looks with his little smug face and grin in the last panal, made me laugh so hard, just epic! XD

Nine should have Cymbals in his happy clap panel.

Ahaha xD! You made my day, thanks so much XD

<_< Can I be Nine's six ? I can't help to think he is really hot xD!

Nine needs to save mr. Im starving to death. Im starting to worry about him.

Let me start by saying I'm a big fan of the strip and that I love the work so far even this strip.

But I'll also go ahead and go on a little rand about sprinkler systems and how they work. There seems to be some common misconceptions about how they work. I guess that most people don't know, but sprinklers can only go off when the small vial at the sprinkler head breaks. This only happens when the heat at that particular sprinkler head is above a certain temperature (or sometimes if the air in the line is too much) .. and then only that one sprinkler head goes off.

There is no central switch, computer or electronic mechanism to make sprinklers go off on their own, nor do all the sprinkler heads go off in a particular room unless the entire room is that hot. This whole system is designed to be fool proof and fail safe. No computers needed, Just put a bunch of pipe in a building with either air (Dry system) or water (wet systems old old systems) pressurizing the pipes then when you detect a drop in the pressure in the line, Open up the flow of water and the pipes will flood and then sprinkler will start sprinkling. The system will increase the coverage of the sprinklers as the fire spreads but only to the areas affected by fire.

I know not needed, but I've seen that trick in movies so many times It bugs me.

I actually know this, but only because an idiot in my dorm during first year of university decided it was a good idea to hang his clothes from one of these and broke the tube with his clothes hanger. Originally I was going to have Nine hold the match under the sprinkler, but given the size of the cage and length of his arm and just about everything else that would have looked awkward as hell. So instead I'm going with 'they live in a different world so perhaps their sprinklers work differently than our own.' >_> Ayup.

How about it detects smoke.

plus its a world of phoenix and dragon shapeshifters ... I'm pretty sure we can spare the technicalities on sprinkler systems ...

Yeah, like I prefaced, it's not a complaint, I like the cartoon and sometimes good stories need plot-hole devices. I just had to mention it because well it's a pet peeve of mine. I still very much love the work. Lets see here, it's possible that the paper contained traces of his blood and a sensor in the roof detected the blood particulate in the smoke and as a result thought there was a biohazard incident and set off a chemical shower system for disinfection. Yeah ... that's a decent plot-hole. Still Love the work, keep it up.

--Trapa

I understand these pet peeves. Mine is cigarette + gasoline = explosion. In Hollywood it always LOOKS cool when the hero eviscerates his nemesis by taking one last drag on his cigarette before dropping it in the puddle that leads straight to said nemesis, but in reality the heat of the end of a lit cigarette isn't enough to ignite gasoline and it would just go out 8\ Forensics class taught me this and now a lot of explosion scenes are ruined.

I like this rand... er, rant. It's much better than Zorbo's rant: "FIRE SPRINKLERS DO NOT WORK THAT WAY! GOODNIGHT!"

Aw crap. I meant Morbo, not Zorbo. *hangs his head in shame and burns his Futurama fan card*

hahaaa ^^ Funzie! More of these

at least his jokes are harmless it snot like he blew soemthign up or any thign i mean after all he sertainly has been hideing alot of stuff

Something I've been wondering. Why are the Insurgi keeping these draconians? I know it's supposed to be for "research" but so far all we've seen are them getting sedated and fed glop. Are they getting experimented on between pages? Are we ever going to see any of it?

Patiencccccce.

So is Dice bothered by water in general or is it just being put in a tub or pool?

He's only actually AFRAID of large-ish bodies of water (or being submerged in it). Showers aren't scary, but when you're fully dressed in work attire going about your daily routines, it's a bit of a nasty shock to be suddenly swimming in your soaked clothes and all because one of your test subjects is misbehaving, not because there's any real threat... XP

I dunno, if I were in his position I'd figure even if he /did/ escape, they'd grab him again.
Might as well have fun with what he has :P

Don't do it D8
A) the water is disgusting. The stuff that comes out of our taps is at least filtered, but the stuff that comes out of those sprinklers is DIRTY.
B) water damage is intense. My dorm had about eighteen fans in every hallway to try and dry out the water so it didn't a) rot away the drywall or wood in the building and b) didn't grow mould.
I figure you're not really serious anyway but I thought I'd share my nasty experience with sprinklers :P

I just imagined Nine going "HYUK HYUK HYUK" as he clapped with glee.

Goodness, sickness really messes you up. ;-;

He's the type who might say 'hyuk hyuk' as a joke XP

He comes off as so innocent and simple minded on this page that his mischievousness can almost be compared to that of a monkey's ... which is fitting for his GINORMOUS size XD ... it's almost imp-like ... haha very awesome nonetheless

also ... "Now I'm in pain and I'm wet and I'm still hysterical!" "Now you're making me hysterical!" :D

It's a bit of a contradiction, his innocence and child-like sense of humour... considering he murdered someone in cold blood in the prologue. XP

yea it is but it does work though :P which I totally like :3 ... he's innocent and mischievous but get on his wrong side and he goes blind with rage sorta thing :P

I wouldn't say it was a 'blind with rage' sorta thing ;) but you'll see

obviously (or it is now) there's a purpose ... purposefully revengeful? :P

No one has quite guessed Nine's motives yet, which is reassuring to me :)

hahaha not even enough clues have been given to make a good guess ... at least I don't think there have been any good clues ... hmmm either way it makes for a great cliffhanger/plot twist or w.e. :)

LOL! *clap clap clap clap*

yeah for criminal mischief

XD I think the daily shots of tranq and the other junk is seriously messing with Nine's mind... the poor dear.

I lol'd so hard xD

Did he not have a name before this?

HA HA HA you all wet!

Smoke doesn't set off sprinkler heads! D:<
Head does! I work with fire systems! D:<

How old is Nine actually? He seems very childish

I knew it. Give someone bored a way to make fire, and the possibilities are endless.

"I'm WET. I'm HYSTERICAL and I'm WET!"

Oh, that movie..Gene Wilder was wonderful in that, and I must say that Matthew Broderick did the same part justice :3

ANYWAY, this comic is wonderful, I'm still trying to catch up!
