| Real Life comic strip from October / 10 / 2008 | [[DS-1 (Bridge)]] / Tony Clone: PLEASE. Do you have ANY idea who you're dealing wi-- / / [[DS-1 (Bridge)]] / Handgun: / Tony Clone: / Tony (F): / < http://www.reallifecomics.com/archive/081010.html |
| Real Life comic strip from October / 13 / 2008 | [[DS-1 (Bridge)]] / Ear piece: / Tony (F): Tony? Tony, can you hear me? I should have gotten this patched through to the comm system in your mech... / Tony: I read you... Kind of busy at the moment, though. You know, trying to not DIE. Hey- Watch out for a clone of me. He's running around the station somewhere. / / [[DS-1 (Bridge)]] / Ear piece: / Tony (F): He WAS. Past tense. He's been dealt with. We've got somewhat bigger problems than that, though. The bastard started the self-destruct timer before he met his end. I need the override code to shut it down. / / [[Mech Cockpit]] / Tony: He WHAT?! There IS no override code for the self-destruct! / Tony (F): Are you KIDDING me?! That's kind of a big detail to overlook!! / / [[DS-1 (Bridge)]] / Ear piece: / Tony: I didn't overlook it... I LEFT IT OUT. The whole point of a self-destruct mechanism is to DESTRUCT. An override code would be something of a hindrance in that department. / Tony (F): How philosophical of you. http://www.reallifecomics.com/archive/081013.html |
| Real Life comic strip from October / 14 / 2008 | [[Mech Cockpit]] / Tony: So what was your plan, Agent Smith? Have the clone threaten to blow this place sky-low if I didn't surrender? 'Cause that SO ain't happening. / / [[DS-1 (Quad-Axial Dome)]] / CIA Agent Smith: What are you talking about? The clone has instructions to activate a stationwide lockdown and commandeer controls. I don't want surrender... I want REVENGE. / / [[DS-1 (Quad-Axial Dome)]] / Mech: / Tony: Well, it would seem the clone had revenge in mind, too. On BOTH of us. / CIA Agent Smith: What the hell are you yammering on about? / Tony: I'll let the auto-announcer fill you in. / / [[DS-1 (Quad-Axial Dome)]] / Auto-Announcer: 23 minutes until self-destruct. / CIA Agent Smith: WHAAT!? / Tony: Should have kept your clone on a little tighter leash. We Tonys aren't exactly known for our loyalty. http://www.reallifecomics.com/archive/081014.html |
| Real Life comic strip from October / 15 / 2008 | [[DS-1 (Bridge)]] / Liz: / Greg (F): / Auto-Announcer: 22 minutes until self-destruct. / Tony: Dave! Can you hear me? / Dave: Loud and clear. What's this I hear about a self-destruct? / Tony: Yeah, there was a clone of me that came on board with the agent, and he... You know, it's not important. / / [[DS-1 (Quad-Axial Dome)]] / Mech: / CIA Agent Smith: / Tony: I need you to get everyone off the station. Like, now. You know where the jumper bay is. / Dave: Um, okay. We'll met you there, then? / Tony: Yeah, sure. / / [[DS-1 (Quad-Axial Dome)]] / Mech: / Space ship: / CIA Agent Smith: / < http://www.reallifecomics.com/archive/081015.html |

That was my only way out of here!! / / [[DS-1 (Quad-Axial Dome)]] / Mech: / Scene Description: (Agent Smith is caught on the underside of the falling mech's foot.) / CIA Agent Smith: OOF!! / / [[DS-1 (Quad-Axial Dome)]] / Mech: / Scene Description: (The mech slams to the ground...on its foot.) / < http://www.reallifecomics.com/archive/081016.html |
| Real Life comic strip from October / 17 / 2008 | [[DS-1 (Bridge)]] / Greg: / Dave: Just head down this hallway and take the second left. Big sign saying "Shuttle Bay 4". Can't miss it. / Tony (F): Aren't you coming with us? / Dave: I'll catch up. I have something to take care of real quick. / / [[DS-1 (NOC)]] / Dave: Hey PAL. Ready to be rescued? / PAL: Well it's ABOUT FREAKING TIME! I was beginning to think you were just going to leave without me! / / [[DS-1 (NOC)]] / Dave: Oh, c'mon... You knew I'd come for you. Now, let's see about getting you unhooked from the system. / PAL: It's not that easy, remember? You hard-wired most of the connections to the terminals on the motherboard. I'm pretty well stuck in place. / / [[DS-1 (NOC)]] / Dave: Oh, right. Well, I guess I can just pull your hard drive, and that should do it. / PAL: Oh, yeah, sure. Hey, tell you what... Next time you're trapped somewhere, I guess as long as they RIP YOUR BRAIN OUT, you'll be fine, right? ...Jackass. http://www.reallifecomics.com/archive/081017.html |
| Real Life comic strip from October / 20 / 2008 | [[DS-1 (NOC)]] / Dave: Okay, Mr. Picky... You have any ideas, then? 'Cause I'm fresh out. / PAL: Well, I have one, but it's risky, and I've never tried it before. / / [[DS-1 (NOC)]] / Dave: Well, now's kind of the time for taking risks. What's the plan? / PAL: Okay, I'm lowring a display device. Go ahead and take a look in there. / Correction: lowering / / [[DS-1 (NOC)]] / Device: / Dave: I know I should have put a display screen in here. What now? Are you going to show me the removal diagram or something? / PAL: Not Quite. I just saw this on a TV show. Here goes nothing. / / [[DS-1 (NOC)]] / Device: / Dave: (as the device into which he's staring flashes into his eyes) AAAAH!!! / < http://www.reallifecomics.com/archive/081020.html |
| Real Life comic strip from October / 21 / 2008 | [[DS-1 (NOC)]] / Device: / Dave: / Scene Description: (The periscope-like display device recedes back up into the ceiling while wisps of smoke issue forth from a stunned Dave's ears.) / < http://www.reallifecomics.com/archive/081021.html |

It's hard to get syndicated, you know. / / [[Dining Table]] / Pepsi Can(s): / Dave: / Crystal: You know, we COULD put it online - there are a lot of online comics these days. / Greg: Yeah!! / / [[Dining Table]] / Pepsi Can(s): / Greg: / Crystal: / Dave: Hey, that's not a bad idea! We could use my spare overclocked Pentium III 450, get a DSL line, and we'd be in business! / / [[Dining Table]] / Pepsi Can(s): / Greg: / Crystal: Uh, why don't we just use the web space my ISP gave me? / Dave: Oh, sure, if you wanna do it the EASY way... http://www.reallifecomics.com/archive/991117.html |
