#732: Don't you know anything about how a sea cucumber defends itself?

[Fifthfiend]

Brian Clevinger called me a lousy fucker.

It kinda hurt my feelings a little bit.

Also, there's a comic (http://www.nuklearpower.com/latest.php).

[Quickman X]

Now that I wasn't expecting. Major curve ball.
I love it.

[Regulus Tera]

The moment I read the title, the moment I knew it was going to be AWESOME! And it was.. it really was.

Brian Clevinger called me a lousy fucker.

Well, you are kinda lousy.. don't ban me!

[Anotherperson]

And here I thought all his blue magic was useless. Maybe we'll see some usage of the Goblin Punch later on as well.

That is, considering BM actually survives this.

[bass_virus]

That CANNOT be good for his digestive track.

[talse]

Only the most logical way possible? Clearly RM needs to consider the release-hundreds-of-venomous-snakes defense. It works great in the LA court system.

[Preturbed]

As well as for some in-flight entertainment.

[Mondt]

:( Poor BM.

I had to look up sea cucumbers on wiki.
XD

[+1 Name]

Only one word can describe this.
AWESOME!

[bananarama]

As well as for some in-flight entertainment.
As well as for some moments for Samuel L Jackson to be friggin awesome...oh wait...THAT'S ALL THE TIME!

Brian Clevinger called me a lousy fucker.

It kinda hurt my feelings a little bit.

Don't worry fifth! At least we love yo..oh wait ummm... At least your mom loves yo...oh wait hmmm... At least everybody doesn't hate you comple...oh wait...

Also I liked how showed BM in background in panels 4-5.:D

[bass_virus]

What i wanna know is how he convinced BM to actually use that spell.

[PyrosNine]

Oh....I went to wiki too....Poor BM and his oh so precious organs... But who knows? Maybe the sheer amount of bacteria in his odor will make those alternate sticky threads.....

Though as we do know, HLORF usually means BM"s using his Blue Magic ability, and it ain't the goblin punch.

Wonder if Brian will be nice, and let him learn mighty guard or something.

Wiki here (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sea_cucumbers).

[JoeCarnage]

What i wanna know is how he convinced BM to actually use that spell.

I was wondering the same thing. I now know to fear rage sea cucumbers though.

[netrider6]

Haha, wasn't until I read the forum that I remembered that that was the Sarda-blue-magic'd spell...

Logically, won't the turtle attack BM now, as it's naturaly prey?

Best line in the comic in a while: "So rage turtles are natural predators of rage sea cucumbers. Therefore: Black Mage."

For anyone who doesn't get the organ-coughing:
They have the peculiar adaptation of expelling first sticky threads, perhaps to incapacitate (http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/incapacitate) predators, and then their internal organs when startled by a potential predator. These organs can then be regrown.

[Satan's Onion]

Maybe it's an involuntary reaction to the presence of rage turtles :p ?

Y'know, quite possibly what the next comic needs is some Cousteau-esque narration.
"Observe, the weakened black mage, stripped of its one natural defense, its organ regurgitation; starved of oxygen because its lungs, they are now turned inside-out; its little tiny stabbing knives useless against the might of the massive rage turtle. The black mage knows now...that it is truly up merde creek."

Also:

Dawww...does oo need a hug?

[Hybrid]

That'll prolly lure Kracken into the vicinity. . .

That stuff HAS to smell.

[The Thrower of ICBMs]

In spite of everything else everyone has said about everything about this comic, I only noted one thing:

"THE KEY TO VICTORY".

I take it as a sign of just how much GaoGaiGar has affected Brian. (Hey, we GGG fanboys take our victories where we can...)

EDIT: Oh, and Satan's Onion? You're awesome. And we're all lucky to be alive.

[Siege]

I thought I was a mimmic because I thought I did the same thing as BM after seeing the last panel. Turns out I just blew out everything that was mindng it's own buisness in the space between my lungs and the rest of the world when I saw the last panel. Musn't laugh loudly at midnight in my home. :whee:

[Salookanana]

This wins the award for "Best joke nobody in the world saw coming". Also, RM is actually making plans that work. THE END IS NIGH!!!

[Long-Haired Narcissist]

Turtles On An Air-Sub...Coolest title ever.
I woulda went to see Snakes on a plane tonight but that damn snakes on a plane song and music video made me rethink it.

Don't worry fifth! At least we love yo..oh wait ummm... At least your mom loves yo...oh wait hmmm... At least everybody doesn't hate you comple...oh wait...
Well at least people who don't know our fiffy can't hate him.

[BlackMageFF1]

The comic lived up to the awesome name. Not only did it have a sig worth RM quote, but it also had the return of BM's ability to barf up his own insides

[Sterling_Silver]

Gotta wonder how they got BM into the torpedo tube/storage room, and how many healing spells RM used afterwards. Also, the last two times BM found himself looking at his guts spread in front of him, Sarda had to put him back together to get BM off his cave floor/lawn. Sarda's not here at the moment.

Actually, did Sarda fix BM the second time? I only remember the "Now get off my lawn." *runs off to check archives*

~Silver

Edit: The second time BM's guts were put back in could've been Sarda, could've been Red Mage; it happens between comics 689 & 690

[YF-23]

Poor BM! I cannot understand RM's logic, just because BM can shoot his innards out doesn't make him a Rage Sea Cucumber! But of course, that's RM I'm talking about, things aren't supposed to make sense. :p

Brian has said that BM has also gain the ability to put his innards back in.

[Sky Warrior Bob]

The thing I wonder, is if BM's new ability allows him to regrow anything that was damaged/lost when his organs are outside his body like that.

I also dread this comic's title, since it implies so much wrongness. Of course, one would have to assume that the turtle is male, it wasn't attacking the air-sub per say & genetic material of that kind counts as a turtles. But otherwise, just sick & wrong.

SWB
And yes, I did feel the need to share my pain when I thought of that.

[Fifthfiend]

Okay, but if he starts popping adamantium claws out of his knuckles, I am the hell out of here.

[Red Dragon 50]

BM's had it with those motherf**kin rage turtles on his motherf**kin airsub.

[Corporate Evil]

Okay, but if he starts popping adamantium claws out of his knuckles, I am the hell out of here.

So would everyone else. Imagine BM with those claws, hell, those things should be able to kill Fighter.

[Seran]

Red Mage has shown us brilliance! Let us all commemorate this day by watching the events unfold in some sick though sinister way! Which might take a while. Hopefully Black Mage does not drown.

Brilliance, I say!

[Selfish]

Fack, Brian.

Running, screaming, with scissors?
Poor Black Mage pukking out his guts again, with the ol`sea cucumber thing, and Fighter still no where to be found.

Just for this, I hope BM gets something especially NICE happen to him.

Not only that, but I hope that I stop laughing MY guts out.

Brilliant as always, man.

edit - ya, if I were Black Mage I`d make sure that Red Mage didn`t wake up the next day.

[PCD]

...Holy shit.
That was the freakin LAST thing I expected. Fuggin' AWESOME.
But now that I think of it... Why would BM even do that? I mean, it's RIDICULOUSLY painful for him, AND it entices the turtle to attack him. So why would he...?

Oh, right. Comedy trumps logic. Almost forgot for a second...

(Yay for SoaP!)

[Nayno]

Didn't someone mention in an earlier thread that BM would probably need to use his Expelliguts spell to fend off some enemy? They must have because I knew what was going to happen the moment RM mentioned sea cucumbers.

I wonder, though. Is BM just going to keep regrowing his organs until the Rage Sea Turtle has feasted in full? Or is he a decoy? Because, like... isn't the predator supposed to eat the prey? There's no way a sea cucumber could defeat a sea turtle by puking its guts out, after all.

[Mesden]

I...I understand now.

Sarda...he...he cast the spell "Make BM attack like a Sea Cucumber"

It's because he's omniscious and actually decided to help the Light Warriors.

Amazing, Sarda is sheerly amazing in his precaution! (And topical use of his punishment!)

[Corporate Evil]

The turtle must have been so vile, BM reverted to throwing up his organs.

But underwater? Everything he eats now will taste like the sea.

[Daimo Mac, The Blue Light of Hope]

When I saw the words Sea Cucumber, I knew that the comic would hit a level of awesomeness, never to be surpassed.

[Elbozaburnin2]

Great comic with a great title, as soon as BM learned how to puke his guts out i figured it had to have some use later on

[excelfanboy]

okay when Sarda got BM's guts back in him he casta spell so BM learned THAT spell as well so he can recover his lost guts!

[Flarecobra]

To be honest, I'm not that impressed by it. I know comiady trumps continuality, but this seemed a little too out of place to be funny. Seems to me it was more of a "Shut up the ones who keep asking for whatever" comic.

[BlackMageFF1]

It was the best movie you, I, or anyone else has ever seen.
I couldn't have put it better myself.

(There is no news post discussion as far as I know so I just put it here)

[BB]

they 'breathe' by drawing water in through the anus and then expelling it.

...

Please tell me the gut-spewing is the only part of the sea cucumber BM is copying.

[Amake]

I'm still doubting BM's load of innards will actually hurt the turtle. Maybe it'll be disgusted to death?

Ah, it was a great day when Sarda devised the spell that made Black mage, and Only Black mage, regurgitate everything inside him even if it's nailed down and on fire. Great for all the BM-sadists in the world. :E

[darkie]

Has anyone else notice the colours of the RM's texts? From 434 (http://www.nuklearpower.com/daily.php?date=040626)and NOW? OMFG!

Btw.... GREAT COMIC. The last panels were the BEST! XDDDD

yeah alot of people have, they have whole topic going on it here

http://forum.nuklearpower.com/showthread.php?t=15004

[Waylander]

I could feel it coming the the air!! Now im thinking that the turtle is just going to eat BM's guts along with BM and then BM will kill it from the inside cos thats about the only use for having his guts spilled.

[willyolio]

oh, that was awesome. and i was the first one to mention sea cucumbers when BM learned the spell! woot!

[Truce]

An interesting note. Thief shares the same text box as Chancellor Usurper. (http://www.nuklearpower.com/daily.php?date=030322)

[byrd]

duh their elves. thousands of years of inbreeding makes em all sound alike. any that was hilarious and HLORF is now my new favirote sound.

[Truce]

...I wish I could find someway to argue that byrd, but I can't.

Damn elves.

[The_Pixel_Judge]

Now how did BM let that happen to himself?

Good comic made me snicker.

[Skit]

Not quite. Thief's text box has a darker outline.

[Salookanana]

The first time I read the comic title I didn't read it in the same way one reads "SNAKES ON A PLANE!" I saw it more like....

Turtles on an Air-sub! TURLE POWER!!!!


Does that mean my nerdness is out of tune?
