I just want to say that, in a recent page the Good Doctor jumped through a helicopter by ramping a motorcycle with rainbows and glitter on the sides off a cliff, slicing all the baddies inside to bits. The helicopter then exploded.
YOU SHOULD READ THIS COMIC.

One of the multi-issue sagas of Dr. McNinja is simply entitled "Punch Dracula".

This happens.

There is nothing further to be said.

It's the most radical webcomic in a radical land, at the very least.

@Dash_Stryker: Actually, Braak is using the patented self reply to create a sort of dramatic pause. It was all done for an amusing effect. Reply

And now that I've ruined that gag I'm off to tell a Kindergarten class all about Santa.

That open part on the back is going to give off a lot of body heat that the sensors will pick up. But if she can ninja in those heels, I guess she's REALLY good.

As I said before, it's nonsense like this that makes me long for the dystopic future where all your fashion decisions are made for you. Gimme Winston Smith's overalls! Reply

@Annalee Newitz: I can tolerate this mash-up of Victorian-era trends & sci-fi (though ninjas are real???) much more than I can Pride and Prejudice and Zombies... so that's something. Reply

So this is the fourth definition of "confound"?

The one where it's a synonym for "excite" or "entice"?

@92BuickLeSabre: i had no idea there was an official order for the definitions of confound. Reply

@tetracycloide: There's an official order for the definitions of anything.


(And by "anything," I mean both the word "anything" and the more general category that includes every definable word.) Reply

@92BuickLeSabre: really? by what rules is the order set? who wrote them? why don't all dictionaries follow them? Reply

If it's a ninja fashion show, how come we can see them? Also, ninjas typically wear black on black, sometimes with small bits of color. Unless they work for Cobra or are facing off with Power Rangers. Reply

Image of crashedpc - Wiedergänger crashedpc - Wiedergänger 02/05/09

@YourTechSupport: Technically, if I may be historically correct (i.e. pain in the ass), there was no evidence that ninjas actually wore all black outfits back in the feudal era. They most likely wore peasant clothes or samurai outfits.


We now return to your regularly scheduled ninja fantasy. Reply


Image of 92BuickLeSabre 92BuickLeSabre 02/05/09

@crashedpc: But of course. Because really, which is more deceptive?


"Oh, there is a peasant. I am not concerned at all."

"Oh, there is a person dressed in all black. Perhaps I should run like holy hell." Reply

@92BuickLeSabre: Reminds me of the Secret Service depictions you see in the movies...


"There is a hugely built man in a black suit and sunglasses surveying the premises. Uh..."


"There is a hugely built man in a raggedy plaid shirt and torn jeans with an earpiece. Uh..." Reply

@crashedpc: Actually, having observed many undercover NYPD officers on the NYC subway system, the actual range has always amazed me.


The two guys with handlebar mustaches and Yankees' hats on the Yankee Stadium subway platform? Pretty easy to spot.


The three people on the subway who had been on for a stop or two, then pulled out their badges to deal with a potentially confrontational subway rider. Holy Crap! Who knew I was riding with so many cops! Reply

Love the tags. I have to postulate that instead of ninja gear, however, it's bondage gear.


The bag is just unashamedly otaku. Reply

Agreed, but the 'SLICE LIKE A NINJA, CUT LIKE A RAZOR BLADE' one is missing.

@Belabras: Goddamnit it took me like 3 hours to get that out of my head. Now yet again it's going to go racing through my mind, cutting down swaths of brain cells in a malevolent attempt to make me buy 90's neon sweatpants. Reply
