| #481 - Step 1 | {{Comic 481}} {{Step 1}} / [[Kari Proctor and Dr. Eldritch are in the Mounthgate basement]]
/ Eldritch (yelling): WOW, look at this HUGE bowl of chicken nuggets! If only we had someone to help us eat them all!
/ Eldritch (still loud): Anyone?
/ [[a tentacle monster seems to want nuggets, but is ignored]] / Eldritch: Okay, that was a good idea, but he doesn't seem to be hiding here. There's no obvious signs of a struggle, so what's next?
/ Kari: We should assume that Zastro's got him?
/ Eldritch: I'm afraid so.
/ Kari: But HOW? / Eldritch: Hmmm. Trolls are notoriously resistant to sedatives and poisons. Zastro wouldn't want to fight him, so they might have surprised him in his sleep, or tricked him somehow, such as saying he could meet a favorite celebrity.
/ Kari: Darn that Jennifer Love Hewitt!
/ Eldritch: I doubt she's actually involved. / [[enter Brobot and Byron]]
/ Ping: Hey has anyone seen Trevor? I can't find him.
/ Eldritch: Um, no. He doesn't seem to be here.
/ Byron: So, we can have a shot at those nuggets? / {{One should always rule out Practical Jokes, first.}}

| #482 - Cyberism | {{Comic 482}} {{Cyberism}} / [[Kari Proctor, Byron, Ping, and Dr. Eldritch confab in the Mounthgate basement]] / Kari: I'm so sorry, Ping! We have bad news. Zastro has kidnapped Trevor, to exchange for you.
/ Ping: OH NO! Is he okay?
/ Eldritch: Probably. We'll learn more when the kidnappers contact us. / Ping: This is my fault. I should have gone back with Zastro when he came for me, and then none of this would have happened.
/ Eldritch: You're not to blame! It's the work of a mad scientist.
/ Ping: Technically, he's not mad, he just has a narcissistic personality disorder.
/ Eldritch: That's ALL? Poor guy. / Kari: Don't worry. Dr. Eldritch and I are figuring out a way to get him back.
/ Ping: Oh. No, thanks.
/ Eldritch: Of course. We'll... Wait. What?
/ Ping: I'll handle it. / [[enter curious gnome at Kari's feet]]
/ Ping: Unless you think robots aren't CAPABLE?
/ Eldritch: I can't believe you just played the cyber card.
/ Ping: Who just assumed that humans were the best ones to be in charge of this?
/ Eldritch: We... I... Oh, crap.
/ Ping: Apology accepted. / {{And don't try any of that "Flesh Beings' Burden" stuff.}}

| #483 - Cooperation | {{comic title= Cooperation }}
/ {{comic number= #483 }} / [[ Ping, Kari, Byron and Dr. Eldritch in the basement, discussing the kidnapping ]]
/ Dr. Eldritch: I suggest that we work together. I do have experience with kidnappings.
/ Ping: Really? How many people have you kidnapped? / Dr. Eldritch: Um, no. I meant that I've helped negotiate with archvillains and criminal masterminds who have taken hostages to further their nefarious plans.
/ Ping: Oh! I've never done this before. / Dr. Eldritch: If we collaborate, perhaps we can recover Trevor and defeat Zastro in a way that will keep him from coming after you ever again. And since you're a friend, I'll only charge half my usual rate.
/ Ping: That's fair!
/ Kari Proctor: No! That's COLD! / Dr. Eldritch: I was merely trying to inject some levity in the situation!
/ Ping: Really? It didn't register on my humor-recognition circuits.
/ Dr. Eldritch: Now THAT'S cold!
/ Kari: Hee! No, that's FAIR! / {{ Seriously, though, half-price IS a good deal.}} / {{Appearances:}} {{Kari}} {{Trevor}} {{Ping}} {{Dr. Eldritch}} http://askdreldritch.com/comic483.html |
| #484 - Bargain | {{Comic number = 484}}
/ {{Comic title = Bargain }} /
/ [[ Phone conversation between Dr. Eldritch and Dr. Zastro ]]
/ Dr. Zastro: Very well. In lieu of Brobot, I'll accept ONE MILLION DOLLARS!
/ Dr. Eldritch: Get real. The parts to entirely rebuild him would cost maybe seventy thousand. Fifty, if you're a smart shopper.
/ Dr. Zastro: Shouldn't I be compensated for my time? / Dr. Eldritch: Ha. You wouldn't have thrown away the plans. Unless you're a total moron, so most of the work is soldering.
/ Dr. Eldritch: And you'll make your henchpersons do that. Look, I can scrape together ninety thousand dollars, but that's it.
/ Dr. Zastro: I couldn't accept less than ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND!
/ Dr. Eldritch: Deal. / [[ In Dr. Eldritchs office ]]
/ Ping: Well, it's nearly all of what I've left from my first novel, but if it gets Trevor back, and Zastro will leave me alone, it's worth it.
/ Kari Proctor: How did you know you could buy him off?
/ Dr. Eldritch: Well, what's the one thing a scientist wants most?
/ Ping: Funding! / Kari: I thought it was getting revenge on everyone who laughed at him.
/ Dr. Eldritch: Sure, but that's hard to do on a tight budget.
/ Ping: And the federal vengeance grants go quick. / {{ And it's easy to apply with the National Science Foundation's ''They-Will-Rue-The-Day Grant'' short form. }} / {{Appearances:}} {{Kari}} {{Dr. Eldritch}} {{Dr. Zastro}} {{Ping}} http://askdreldritch.com/comic484.html |
| #485 - Transport | {{Comic 485}} {{Transport}} / [[Kari Proctor and Dr. Eldritch in the Mounthgate driveway]]
/ Kari: Such a manly vehicle! I may swoon.
/ Eldritch: Don't laugh. It gets great gas mileage. And you should see the crash-test ratings. / [[on the misty road]]
/ Kari: So does it have hidden machine guns, night vision displays and ejector seats?
/ Eldritch: It's mostly standard; air bags, a/c, cloaking device, all-wheel drive...
/ Kari: Wait, cloaking device? Where? / Eldritch: Flip that switch.

| #486 - Trevorigin 1 | {{Comic 486}} {{Trevorigin 1}} / Kari: We're driving to Hillsboro? I'm bored already.
/ Eldritch: Yes. We could play a game. I'm thinking of a number between 1 and 218,473. Inclusive. / Kari:8?
/ Eldritch: No.
/ Kari: 141,224?
/ Eldritch: No.
/ Kari: Still bored. Tell me how you met Trevor. / Eldritch: Ah, now that's a story! Normally trolls raise their young for several years, teaching them how to be trolls. Nobody knows the details, but somehow, Trevor was separated from his mother. In this situation, most baby creatures would perish, but he was found by a human couple. / [[a tiny Trevor hides behind a tree]]
/ Trevor's Mum: Oh, he's cute!
/ Trevor's Da: In a scary way.
/ Trevor's Mum: I think he's lost. Can we keep him?
/ Trevor's Da: I don't know...
/ Trevor's Mum: PLEASE! How much trouble could he be? / {{That's almost as bad as saying "I'm sure there's nobody lurking in that abandoned asylum!"}} http://askdreldritch.com/comic486.html |
| #487 - Trevorigin 2 | {{Comic 487}} {{Trevorigin 2}} / [[Kari Proctor and Dr. Eldritch continue their frame tale]]
/ Eldritch: Luckily, the couple didn't have children, or young Trevor might have eaten them.
/ Kari: Seriously?
/ Eldritch: All trolls are only children, eventually.
/ Kari: Ick. / [[a bathtub]]
/ Eldritch: But the kindly couple raised him as their own.
/ Trevor: Ba!
/ Trevor's Mum: Yes, bath!
/ Trevor: No, I prefer "Ba!" / [[on the interstate]]
/ Eldritch: Instead of being trained to live like a solitary predator, he got used to being around people. But he was still a troll, and grew big, ate a lot, and became dangerous. His parents didn't know to find a troll rescue groups, so they did what people do when they have a wild animal for a pet that they can no longer manage. / [[into the woods]]
/ Trevor: So we're camping here? Hey! Where are you going? If you're getting ice cream, I want some!
/ < http://askdreldritch.com/comic487.html |
| #488 - Trevorigin 3 | ((Comic 488)) ((Trevorigin 3)) / [[Kari Proctor and Dr. Eldritch on interstate]]
/ Eldritch: Perhaps people thing they're being kind, but abandoning a wild pet is usually a death sentence from starvation, or at the fangs and claws of a predator that the pet has no skills against. Fortunately, trolls are tough.
/ Kari: And willing to eat carrion.
/ Eldritch: Yes. That does help. / [[a cave, in the woods]]
/ Eldritch: He did find some other trolls, but they're solitary by nature.
/ Trevor: Hey, you got cable?
/ < http://askdreldritch.com/comic488.html |
| #489 - Trevorigin 4 | {{Comic 489)) ((Trevorigin 4)) / [[Kari Proctor and Dr. Eldritch continue their economy car hero's journey]] / Kari: So he moved in and you two immediately became friends?
/ Eldritch: No! Not at first, anyway. I was expecting a typical antisocial troll. Trever wanted to be BUDDIES. / [[Trevor and Eldritch in the laundry room]]
/ Trevor: And the captain says, "That's your day in the barrel!" HAHAHAHAHA! See, it's funny because the SAILOR...
/ Eldritch: Yeah, I got it. / [[Trevor and Eldritch in the bathroom]]
/ Trevor: Whatcha doing?
/ Eldritch: Showering.
/ Trevor: Need help?
/ Eldritch: No! / [[night, in a bed in a finished, non-dungeony part of the basement]]
/ Eldritch: I kept sending him back to the basement, but he'd get bored.
/ Trevor: I spy something that starts with N!
/ Eldritch: I'm TRYING to SLEEP!
/ Trevor: Wrong! It's "No Television!" / {{That could also stand for "No Pizza".}} http://askdreldritch.com/comic489.html |
| #490 - Trevorigin 5 | ((Comic 490}} {{Trevorigin 5}} / [[Kari Proctor and Dr. Eldritch in heavy traffic]]
/ Eldritch: Then one day, two assassins arrived. I'd foiled the plans of an Evil Genius, who had those two on retainer, to target anyone who thwarted him... / [[a finished portion of the Eldritch's basement]]
/ Eldritch: They'd heard that I had a troll, so they came in through the basement, with a four-gauge elephant gun, to take him out first. Trevor, however, was on the top story, where he could watch TV without me knowing. / [[at the doorway of a office]]
/ Eldritch: When they didn't find him, they assumed that I'd just spread the rumor to scare people off. They then turned their attentions to me. / Kari: Didn't Trevor sense them and attack?
/ Eldritch: Well, he was going to the bathroom in the attic.
/ Kari: You had a bathroom in the attic?
/ Eldritch: No.
/ Kari: Then how could he...oh.
/ Eldritch: Yeah. / {{I think we've established that trolls aren't fussy.}} http://askdreldritch.com/comic490.html |
| #491 - Trevorigin 6 | {{Comic 491}} {{Trevorigin 6}} / [[Kari Proctor and Dr. Eldritch on the interstate]]
/ Kari: You LET them sneak up on you?
/ Eldritch: I admit that having a troll for security made me a bit overconfident. Even so, I did get off the first shots... / [[Assailants and Dr. Eldritch in office doorway]]
/ Eldritch: ...but it was a brief firefight. I took a round in the leg, and had to drop through the floor to get away. / [[reverse pan, a home gym]]
/ Eldritch: My landing was... less than graceful. I added a twisted ankle and a concussion to my injuries, which stunned me long enough for the assassins to close in. / [[Kari and Eldritch on the interstate]]
/ Eldritch: We're almost there, I should probably finish after...
/ Kari: AUGH! No cliffhangers!
/ Eldritch: Okay! So... are pale unattractive gums holding you back?
/ Kari: AND NO COMMERCIALS! / {{Wait...I don't have attractive gums?}} http://askdreldritch.com/comic491.html |
| #492 - Trevorigin 7 | {{Comic 492}} {{Trevorigin 7}} / [[Trevor and assailants at the door of home gym]]
/ Eldritch: That's when Trevor arrived. He may be a bit of a goofball at times, but his instincts are excellent. / [[Kari Proctor and Dr. Eldritch on the interstate]]
/ Eldritch: Trevor was tremendously helpful during my recovery. As he nursed me back to health, I realized that I enjoyed having him around. Plus, he had saved my life. I don't forget that.
/ Kari: When I first moved in, I thought he was your pet. / Eldritch: HA! Not hardly. I'd say I went from being his employer to being his friend. I'd be devastated if anything happened to him. But wait, I wasn't quite done... / [[Trevor and Dr. Eldritch in living room]]
/ Eldritch: Even as we were becoming friends, however, we still differed on what counts as a special treat for dinner.
/ Trevor: You hungry for possum or skunk? / {{No? But they're Free Range!}} http://askdreldritch.com/comic492.html |
| #493 - Insurance | {{Comic 493}} {{Insurance}} / [[Kari Proctor and Dr. Eldritch in front of Dr. Zastro's hideout]]
/ Eldritch: By the way, I'm bringing an explosive device with a deadman switch so it will detonate if I'm killed or knocked unconscious.
/ Kari: But it's a fake, right?
/ Eldritch: No, it's real.
/ Kari: WHAT!?! Why do you need that? Isn't this just a simple swap?
/ Eldritch: Sure, but Zastro won't respect us if we're not serious. You can wait in the car, if you want. / Kari: Is there anything we do that DOESN'T have the risk of sudden death?
/ Eldritch: Not much. Didn't I explain all this to you before? / Kari:I thought you were just trying to talk me out of being your apprentice.
/ Eldritch: Well, yes, that too. / {{Statistically, the drive here was more dangerous.}} http://askdreldritch.com/comic493.html |
| #494 - Henchpersons | {{Comic 494}} {{Henchpersons}} / [[Dr. Eldritch and Kari Proctor are on Dr. Zastro's front porch]]

| #496 - Showdown | {{Comic 496}} {{Showdown}} / [[Kari Proctor, Dr. Eldritch, and Dr. Zastro in Zastro's inner sanctum]]
/ Zastro: So, you have made it past my minions.
/ Eldritch: Yeah. Look, as a professional courtesy, could we just make the swap with a minimum of the ritual posturing?
/ Zastro: But YOU"RE holding an explosive device with a deadman switch.
/ Eldritch: For insurance. / Zastro: Anti-deflagration force-field.
/ Eldritch: Forcefield disruptor watch.
/ Zastro: You're bluffing.

| #497 - Trade | {{Comic 497}} {{Trade}} / [[Dr. Zastro, Dr. Eldritch, and Kari Proctor in Zastro's inner sanctum]]
/ Zastro: The troll is in the back room. I don't see how you can afford to feed him.
/ Eldritch: Burglars, mostly.
/ Zastro: Oh, right. Very good. / Kari: That's it? THAT'S your final showdown? Seems pretty anti-climactic to me.
/ Eldritch: What, we should have a fistfight or something?
/ Zastro: HAHAHA! How pedestrian! / Eldritch: Honestly, I wouldn't mind punching you a few times.
/ Zastro: Yeah, but if we wrap this up now, I can still make my painting class.
/ Eldritch: Oils or acrylics?
/ Zastro: Watercolors, actually. I prefer the subtlety.
/ Eldritch: Nice. / Eldritch: I suppose it would feel more complete if your fortress collapsed on the way out.
/ Zastro: Only if I can collect on the insurance.
/ Eldritch and Zastro: HAHAHAHAHA!

/ Trevor: But I'm in the middle of a video game!
/ Eldritch: Bring it with you. We'll consider it a gift from Zastro for the inconvenience.
/ Trevor: Cool! / Trevor: It's really great! You're in this city, and you get assignments, and you earn points for carrying them out.
/ Kari: What kind of assignments? / Trevor: Doing favors for people! Like giving friends a ride to the airport, or bringing soup to your granny when she's sick. Plus, you get bonus points for doing nice things on the way, like holding doors or leaving a good tip, or even just saying "please" and "thank you". / [[the front of Zastro's hideout]]
