Hey wirthling -- when I read "A nation perplexed..." (http://www.lowpass.net/stripcreator/view.php?ID=3398), I laughed myself silly -- and that was before I saw my name. (I have a bad habit of reading panels out of order, or incompletely, the first time around.)

I hope you don't mind, but I've taken the liberty of advancing the plot:

http://www.lowpass.net/stripcreator/view.php?ID=3457

Your move. Feel free to put words in my mouth. :)

The what mentioned above is total fiction. Please don't take it seriously!

I went to your web site trying to figure out what the hell "All your base are belong to us" means and what it's all about. I still haven't got a clue. Did it come from lousy Japanese-English translations in a game? Actually, I think it might be funny if you continue not to explain what it means and just leave me perplexed...

I have some homework to do tonight, but I'll try to come up with a continuation of the theme later when I have more time...

"And Wirthling isn't worth the paper he isn't printed on."

OK, the homework can wait...

"And Wirthling isn't worth the paper he isn't printed on."

I can explain as much of the story as I know, but that's not a whole lot. I'm hoping I can work the explanation into the Committee Hearing, but I'm afraid it'll be heavy on explanation and light on humor. I'll give it some thought and hopefully post a couple more strips after dinner.

BTW, that Porky Pig thing was hysterical. :)

Really fun series, guys... and educational too! :)

Truly "All your base are belong to us" is a virulent meme...

Have to agree with Russ - great series. Please keep it up. :)

I'm off on a completely different tack here, but the idea stemmed from our lovable catch phrase.

Glad people like it.

Russ: thanks for the images; obviously we're getting plenty of use out of them. I'm a big Watchmen fan too.

Gabe: "Enlightenment" is one of my favorite strips. Nearly fell out of my chair laughing the first time I read it.

Here's a strip that I think has been begging to be written since the beginning....

Hahahaha! That's good stuff.

But can we really take the credit for any of this? We're just hanging on the coat-tails of that marvelous phrase. Where would we be without it?

Not really part of your series, but I couldn't resist the urge to add my three-panels' worth.

I don't see what's so inappropriate about the third panel. Looks perfectly normal to me. :P

I'm back, for now...

A nation perplexed: The truth is out there... by wirthling 2-05-01

Unconvinced by evil_d's explanation, the President asks for help from NSA cryptographers... After studying the phrase "All your base are belong to us," we have discovered several anagrams that may be of some significance... "Great boobs a-lull our NSA eye." "A lab to rub eel gel on your ass." "Grab beer, you loose anal slut!" "O go see us rub a lonely lab rat."...What do you think, Mr. President? I'm thinkin' maybe you boys need to get out of the lab a little more often...

---
"And Wirthling isn't worth the paper he isn't printed on."

Heh, that's great. Maybe we can spawn a whole new meme using base-anagrams.

This one isn't part of the series, but it uses the line. I liked the Goats characters so much that I went and read the whole archives of the strip. It took me three days, but I finished, and here's the result.

Here's another one that's not part of the series. It's sort of a response to DexX's comic, actually. ;)

All your base - sometimes it is appropriate by BigEvilDan 2-06-01

*sigh* The mad scientist business has been slow lately, and I can no longer afford to maintain my secret underground base. I'm a repo man from the Bank of Lowpass, and I'm here to let you know that all your base are belong to us. Ahh, it's nice to get my collection of priceless model bases out for some fresh air. I'm a mugger here to steal your collection. All your base are belong to us. How could you steal my math processing unit? Now I can no longer convert to binary or hexidecimal. All your base are belong to us!
