| GPF Archive: Friday, December 16, 2005 | Trish? Are you in here?
/ GAH! / What are you doing in here?
/ Hey! That's my PDA! How did you get that?
/ I-it's not what it looks like! / I'll bet it's not! What was she doing, Nick?
/ She was using the remote satellite access to tunnel into my home network. The link is still active... / She was trying to acces...the Mutex?
/ But... How did she even know about that? http://www.gpf-comics.com/d/20051216.html |
| GPF Archive: Saturday, December 17, 2005 | All right, Trish! I know you've ben lying to us! That whole "schizoprenia" bit was just a ruse. Why were you trying to access the Mutex? Where did you learn about it? / You fools! You have no idea what power you possess! Once my master obtains your secret, nothing can stop him from-- / VVMP / Oookay... who here saw that coming? http://www.gpf-comics.com/d/20051217.html |
| GPF Archive: Sunday, December 18, 2005 | [[A gaunt Trish is hooked up to the MUTEX and what appears to be life support]]
/ Shadowy figure 1: Remove her from the apparatus.
/ Shadowy figure 2: Yes, my Lord. / Shadowy figure 2: Bear in mind that she is very weak. Effectively, she has not used this body for months. Atrophy has claimed much of her bodily systems, and--
/ Shadowy figure 1: She is strong enough to listen. / Shadowy figure 1: You have failed me for the last time, Agent 2478.
/ Trish: M-Milord, I-I almost had it. If you could give me just a few more minutes... / Shadowy figure 1: I gave you nearly two and a half years! And you STILL did not reach your objective. My patience has limits.
/ Trish: I-I'll be more direct! Give me one more chance! / [[Armed and armored guards flank the shadowy figure]]
/ Shadowy figure 1: I've delayed my plans long enough due to your incompetence. Guards, give miss Marshall her severance package. / [[There is a bright flash in the background]]
/ Shadowy figure 1: And get a janitorial crew up here. You know how I hate tracking blood all over this expensive carpet. http://www.gpf-comics.com/d/20051218.html |
| GPF Archive: Monday, December 19, 2005 | [[Two Shadowy Figures in a badly lit setting]]
/ Figure 1:Was executing Marshall really neccessary, my liege? Training her was an expensive and time consuming process.
/ Figure 2:Then apparently we didn't spend nearly enough. / Figure 2: In fact, I should question _your_ effectiveness, General. She was hand-picked by _you_ for this assignment.
/ Figure 1: You know I live to serve, my lord. That mistake shall not be repeated. / Figure 2: At this juncture, we can't afford another such delay. We are already months behind schedule. Inform the duchess to commence emergency plan D. It's time for us to move to a more aggressive stance. / Figure 2: AND I THOUGHT I ORDERED SOMEONE TO REPLACE THESE @#*&% LIGHT FIXTURES!
/ Figure 1:You executed him this morning for not charging your toothbrush, sire. http://www.gpf-comics.com/d/20051219.html |
| GPF Archive: Tuesday, December 20, 2005 | Fooker: Well, we've looked everywhere, and there's still no sign of Trish.
/ Ki: I don't know which is worse: Trish mysteriously vanishing, or that I'm down another bridesmaid. / Patty: Ki, um... I've thought this over, and against my better judgement, I'll fill in. Of course, that means I'll be praying for Lori to get a ride or Trish to magically reappear...
/ Ki: Thanks, Patty. I think. / Nick: Well, there isn't much more we can do tonight. It's getting late, so we better hit the sack and get plenty of rest for a busy tomorrow.
/ Fooker: You're forgetting one thing, buddy. / Fooker and Sharon: BACHELOR PARTIES! http://www.gpf-comics.com/d/20051220.html |
| GPF Archive: Wednesday, December 21, 2005 | [[Fooker and Nick are walking up the stairs outside Nick's apartment, Dexter is standing by the car at the foot of the stairs.]]
/ Fooker: Hooboy! 3 AM! Bet that's the latest you're ever gotten home, eh, nick?
/ Nick: Heh, well, the latest in a long while. / Fooker: I'm bettin' there'll be folks kickin' themselves for missing out on that wild little shindig!
/ Nick: Wild? Somehow I doubt "Pizza, sodas and some DVDs" counts as wild. / [[Fooker and Nick have reached the door to Nick's apartment, Nick is inserting his key in the lock.]]
/ Fooker: Hey, I've got a reputation to uphold for anyone eavesdropping. Still, I know my Nickmeister, and I know you're not into crazy stag parties and such. I just wanted you to have one last night out with the boys. / [[Nick is opening the door to his apartment, a shadow of a person's head can be seen on the inside wall to the right of the door.]]
/ Nick: Well, I couldn't ask for a better bachelor party. Thanks again, and remind Dexter to lay off those Jedi fighting moves until he loses a few pounds. http://www.gpf-comics.com/d/20051221.html |

| GPF Archive: Friday, December 23, 2005 | [[Nick looks at Ki, who is dressed in lingerie]]
/ Nick: UM, THIS IS A SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT LOOK FOR YOU...
/ Ki: LIKE IT? I'VE BEEN READY TO /BUST/, WAITING TO SHOW IT TO YOU. / Nick: WELL, WE ONLY HAVE A FEW MORE HOURS UNTIL THE WEDDING, THEN WE'RE OFF ON OUR HONEYMOON. ARE YOU SURE YOU DON'T WANT TO WAIT UNTIL--
/ Ki: I'M /TIRED/ OF WAITING. / Ki: HOW ABOUT WE ELIMINATE THOSE WEDDING NIGHT JITTERS WITH AN EARLY MORNING HEAD START, HMM, STUD? WHO'S GOING TO COUNT A FEW LITTLE HOURS? / [[Ki holds Nick, putting her tongue in his ear.]]
/ Nick: I WAS TRYING TO, BUT FOR SOME REASON I SEEMED TO LOSE COUNT... http://www.gpf-comics.com/d/20051223.html |
| GPF Archive: Saturday, December 24, 2005 | [[Nick pushes Ki back and looks stern]]
/ Nick: Hold on, now. We made a promise to each other to wait until after we were married. We've waited this long, we can wait a few more hours. / [[Ki winks at Nick as she reaches for something]]
/ Ki: Easy, tiger. We can keep playing tease if you want. But I've got an idea to get around that technicality.
/ Nick: What do you mean? / [[Ki slams the Mutex helmet down on Nick's head.]]
/ < http://www.gpf-comics.com/d/20051224.html |
| GPF Archive: Sunday, December 25, 2005 | [[Nick has the Mutex helmet on, Ki has a remote in her hand.]]
/ Nick: Are you sure about this? The mutex isn't so much of a virtual reality machine anymore. The evidence points to it being an interdimensional transport now. / [[Ki is stroking Nick's chin.]]
/ Ki: Relax! I did a little configuring, and I've got us a little pocket universe all to ourselves. It's virtually the same thing.
/ Nick: How did you learn to --
/ Ki: I read your documentation.
/ Nick: Oh. / [[Nick is spreading his hands while Ki reaches for an obvious button.]]
/ Nick: Well, we should really get someone to monitor it from this side, like Fred usually does. We should-- / < http://www.gpf-comics.com/d/20051225.html |
| GPF Archive: Monday, December 26, 2005 | [[Yoshi fiddles with a bit of machinery]]
/ Yoshi: CRAP... I SCREWED IT UP AGAIN. DANG IT, YOSHI... WHY ARE YOU STILL DOING THIS? / [[Yoshi inspects a wrench]]
/ IT'S NOT LIKE YOU HAVEN'T LIED TO MOM AND DAD BEFORE. THAT "SENIOR PROJECT" WAS TURNED IN WEEKS AGO. YOU JUST WANTED TIME ALONE TO WORK ON THIS... / [[Yoshi looks at the machine in front of him]]
/ WHY ARE YOU STILL FASCINATED BY IT? S1R3N GAVE YOU THE PLANS TWO YEARS AGO. AND DESPITE "FBI" RAIDS AND HER INSISTENCE THAT YOU DESTROY IT, YOU KEEP TINKERING. / [[Yoshi prepares to plug in the machine]]
/ WEAPON. POWER SOURCE. I STILL DON'T KNOW EXACTLY WHAT IT DOES BUT THAT'S WHY I'M FINALLY GOING TO BOOT THIS BAD BOY UP. http://www.gpf-comics.com/d/20051226.html |
| GPF Archive: Tuesday, December 27, 2005 | Yoshi: http://www.gpf-comics.com/d/20051227.html |
| GPF Archive: Wednesday, December 28, 2005 | [[Smirking at his assembled computer network]] Yoshi: Heh... this is wicked! I've never seen code that complex compile so quickly! I've got my own juiced up server farm! Who needs Cray? / [[Walking away from the network]] Yoshi: Okay, so Nick's VR code compiles. Big whoop. I've got my old software interface I kludged together to hack his version, but it won't be the same without his hardware. / [[Rummaging through a pile of parts]] Yoshi: Hmm... I've got his specs. I wonder if I could cobble something together from my spare parts. I'll need some pretty advanced optics, but it COULD work... / [[Holding up a video camera]] Yoshi: Of course, if Dad didn't WANT me to tear apart his video camera, he should have remembered to take it to his daughter's wedding... http://www.gpf-comics.com/d/20051228.html |
| GPF Archive: Thursday, December 29, 2005 | Yoshi: There. A football helmet, a video camera, a bunch of spare computer parts, and a mile of firewire cable, and I've duplicated Nick's VR gear. At least, I think. / < http://www.gpf-comics.com/d/20051229.html |
| GPF Archive: Friday, December 30, 2005 | Yoshi: ACK! My hair's on Fire! Get it off! / < http://www.gpf-comics.com/d/20051230.html |
| GPF Archive: Saturday, December 31, 2005 | Yoshi: All digits and limbs accounted for, hair just smoldering . . . I seem to be okay . . .

/ Ki: GAH! I AM RUNNING _SO_ LATE! SHARON, ONE OF THESE DAYS. I'M GOING TO GET YOU BACK FOR KEEPING ME OUT LAST NIGHT! / Sharon: JUST THINK OF IT AS PREPARATION FOR TONIGHT. IT'S NOT LIKE YOU'LL BE GETTING ANY SLEEP...
/ Ki: POOR NICK IS GOING TO HAVE TO WAIT. I'LL BE CRANK CALLING YOU ALL NIGHT LONG. / Nicole: ISN'T THIS FUN, DWAYNE? IT KIND OF REMINDS ME OF OUR WEDDING...
/ Dwayne: I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS DAY FOR ALMOST SEVEN YEARS... / Fooker: FRED, I'VE CHECKED. THERE ARE NO PAPARAZZI ANYWHERE IN SIGHT.
/ Fred (under Fooker's hat): KEEP YOUR VOICE DOWN. YOU COULD USE THE "HAIR GEL." / Dexter: SHAVING CREAM, BALLOONS, STREAMERS, CANS, GLASS CHALK, CAN OF SARDINES...
/ Scott: INVENTORY FOR "DECORATING" NICK'S CAR?
/ Dexter: YEP! / Patty: OKAY, PATTY... YOU CAN DO THIS. IT'S JUST A WEDDING. IT'S NOT EVEN _YOURS_. SO WHAT ARE THE ODDS YOU'LL SCREW THIS ONE UP TOO? http://www.gpf-comics.com/d/20060101.html |
| GPF Archive: Monday, January 2, 2006 | Tim: Okay, last minute A/V checks all pass. We are making the final rounds. How are things going here?
/ Dexter: A-Okay / Scott: Everyone is accounted for exept master Nicholas. Have any of you seen him?
/ Dwayne: Not since the bachelor party. / Dexter: That's odd... He's not answering his phone. Maybe he's en route.
/ Fooker: Hold on, I'll try his cell phone... / Dwayne: He's not answering?
/ Fooker: Little guy's probably a bundle of nerves and forgot to turn it on. There's no need to panic... yet. http://www.gpf-comics.com/d/20060102.html |
| GPF Archive: Tuesday, January 3, 2006 | Fooker: [[Speaking with Scott and Tim]] "I'll keep trying to reach Nick. You guys go check on the girls. And, um, no mentioning the AWOL Groom, Okay?"
/ Scott: "Got it." / Scott: [[Walking with Tim]] "I hope Master Nicholas has not been held tardy by unforeseen circumstances..."
/ Tim: [[Looking at Patty who is sitting alone looking upset]] "Patty?" / Scott: [[Opens a door and ducks to miss a flying hair brush, hair pins and a roll of tissue]] "BY THE SOURCE!" / Sharon: [[Pops her head through the doorway, with a hair dryer falling through]] "Good Grief, Scott! You should know better than to enter a bridal construction zone without a hard hat!"
/ [[Scott looks up shaken.]] http://www.gpf-comics.com/d/20060103.html |
| GPF Archive: Wednesday, January 4, 2006 | Scott: Pardon my instrusion, milady. I was sent by Master Barker to inquire as to progress of the bridal preperations. / Sharon: Well, fortunately, everyone is dressed now. We're just putting the finishing touches on Ki. We should be ready in a few more minutes. / Scott: Whoa... / Sharon: That's the reaction we were going for.
/ Scott: Master Nicholas is a very lucky man... http://www.gpf-comics.com/d/20060104.html |
| GPF Archive: Thursday, January 5, 2006 | Tim: Hey, Patty! That gown is very flattering on you! Is everyone set? We've got about an hour. / [[Tim walks up to Patty, who's startled]]
/ Tim: Patty, are you okay?
/ Patty: AH! WHA-? WHO?! / Tim: I'm sorry, didn't mean to startle you. It's just you were out here, while all the other girls are--
/ Patty: I'm fine, Tim. Just peachy. Now leave me alone. / [[Patty walks away leaving Tim with a concerned look]]
/ Tim: But you seemed--
/ Patty: I said I'm fine. Don't make me reverse your digestive tract. http://www.gpf-comics.com/d/20060105.html |
| General Protection Fault--The Comic Strip | Patty (thinking): I do NOT cry. I am INCAPABLE of crying. I am NOT going to let this affect me. I'm here to help, not wallow in my past. / Patty (thinking): I need to get some fresh air, some sort of outlet. Got to get my mind off of all this so I can concentrate...
/ [[Dexter bursts out of a nearby doorway carrying a cell phone, breaking her train of thought]]
/ Dexter: Hey Patty! You look great! / Patty (screaming): COMPLIMENT ME AGAIN AND I'LL SHOVE THAT CELL PHONE UP ONE NOSTRIL AND OUT THE OTHER! / [[Patty looks dishevelled after screaming at Dexter, who is now partially hiding behind the door]]
/ Patty:Wow... T-that really helped. I feel a bit better. Thanks, Dex.
/ Dexter (shyly): G-glad to be of help http://www.gpf-comics.com/d/20060106.html |
| General Protection Fault--The Comic Strip | Dwayne: Have you been able to reach Nick yet?
/ Fooker: Nope. Just to make sure, I'm gonna run by his apartment. Be back in a few. / Sydney: Daddy! How do me an' Perseffome look?
/ Dwayne: Very pretty! The best flower girls ever! / Persephone: Mr. Duncan, you should see Ki! She's absolutely gorgeous! If I had tear ducts, I'd cry!
/ Dwayne: Well, you girls will give her a run for her money. / Nicole: I'm not sure about that. You haven't seen Ki yet.
/ Dwayne: Well, my opinion's biased, but there's one bridesmaid I've had my eye on. http://www.gpf-comics.com/d/20060107.html |
| General Protection Fault--The Comic Strip | [[ Ki, dressed for her wedding, looks at herself in a mirror; Sharon stands behind her, smiling. ]] / Ki: Well... How do I look? / Sharon: Absolutely gorgeous. Nick is going to be falling all over himself when he sees you.
/ Ki: He better not. I'll need him to keep _me_ steady. / Sharon: Getting nervous? Cold feet?
/ Ki: Nervous, yes. Cold feet, no. I know this is the right step for us, but it's a big one. I just hope I'll make him as happy as he makes me. / Sharon: I can't think of a couple who deserve each other more than you two. You're like Apache on Linux: a perfect combination.
/ Ki: Sharon, you always know the right things to say. http://www.gpf-comics.com/d/20060108.html |
| General Protection Fault--The Comic Strip | [[Dwayne stands with his wife Nicole and their daughter Sydney; Dwayne is in a tux, Nicole in a bridesmaid's dress, and Sydney in a flower girl's dress. Tim comes up to them.]]
/ Tim: People are starting to show up. I thought Ki's brother was going to help be an usher.
/ Dwayne: He is. Has he not shown up yet? / Tim: No, and neither has Nick. Fooker's not back from looking for him either.
/ Dwayne: Can you and Scott handle the guests for now?
/ Tim: Sure. / [[Tim has left.]]
/ Nicole: Nick hasn't arrived yet? Does Ki know?
/ Dwayne: Not yet. We didn't want to worry her. Fooker should be back soon with some answers. / Nicole: What about Mr. Oshiro? Do you think he might know why Yoshi isn't here yet?
/ Mr. Oshiro[[in foreground, looking extremely angry]]: He does not, but he is sure the boy will *wish* he did his homework on time... http://www.gpf-comics.com/d/20060109.html |
| GPF Archive: Tuesday, January 10, 2006 | [[Dwayne, Nicole, Scott, Dexter, and Patty are in a discussion]]
/ Dwayne: We can function without Yoshi. But not without a groom. Has anyone heard from Fooker yet?
/ Dexter: Nope. I'll give him a ring. / [[Sharon peeks out from the bridal changing room]]
/ Sharon: We're all set. How's everything else?
/ Nicole: We're ready, minus a couple notable exceptions. / [[Dexter is dialing his cell phone]]
/ Sharon: Exceptions? Aren't we cutting things down to the wire?
/ Dexter: Fooker's not answering his cell. I'll try Nick's again. / [[A silhouette of Fooker appears in the doorway. Fooker appears to be holding something]]
/ Fooker: Don't bother. http://www.gpf-comics.com/d/20060110.html |
| General Protection Fault--The Comic Strip | [[ Fooker enters the room. Dwayne, Scott, Dexter, and Patty look at him. ]]
/ Dwayne: What do you mean by "Don't bother?" Where's Nick?
/ Fooker: He's not coming. / Scott: Not coming? It's his wedding day!
/ Patty: Where is he? Did he leave that note?
/ Dexter: Should we tell Ki? / [[ Ki enters the room. All turn to look at her.]]
/ Ki: Should we tell Ki _what_? / [[ Fooker is mostly out of the panel, but his left hand and arm are visible, holding out an envelope to Ki, who reaches for it. ]]
/ Fooker: I'm sorry... http://www.gpf-comics.com/d/20060111.html |
| General Protection Fault--The Comic Strip | [[We are shown the typewritten letter]] My dearest Ki, It is with a heavy heart that I write this. While I love you with every fiber of my being, I'm afraid I can't go through with the wedding. It's too complicated to explain in such a simple letter, but I must leave now. I don't know when I'll be back, but I promise I will try to contact you soon. / Ki: I-I don't believe it...
/ Patty: I'm sorry, Ki. I don't know what to say that can help... / [[Ki crumples up the letter]]
/ Ki: No, I don't *believe* this. Nick would *never* write a load of garbage like this. *Something's* happened, but I know my Nick well enough to know he wouldn't do *this* to me. / Ki: Fooker? Do you agree?
/ Fooker: Absoposilutely. Thought the exact same thing. Nick's vanished, and I'll bet it was against his free will. http://www.gpf-comics.com/d/20060112.html |
| General Protection Fault--The Comic Strip | Dwayne: Do you REALLY think Nick has somehow been abducted?
/ Ki: Do you REALLY think the Nick we all know ould leave me at the alter? / Fooker: It does look like his signature, though. A little handwriting analysis could answer that for sure.
/ Sharon: Was there any other evidence? / Fooker: His door was locked. No sign of forced entry. His tux and suitcases were still ready to go. I found the note on the table, so whoever left it expected us to find it. / Patty: Um, not to interrupt Sherlock Holmes, but what are we going to do with the couple hundred guests waiting in the sanctuary? http://www.gpf-comics.com/d/20060113.html |
| General Protection Fault--The Comic Strip | [[Fooker, Ki and Dwayne are discussing what should be done about the wedding]]
/ Dwayne: Patty's right. We can't just leave all those guests waiting. I'll inform the parents, then come up with some way to break the news.
/ Ki: Thanks, Dwayne. / Ki: Fooker, can you reach some of your "contacts" who might be able to help investigate?
/ Fooker: Already called. They're on their way as we speak. / [[Ki, Fooker and Dexter look shocked as they see someone enter. Patty does not. Dwayne isn't in the shot.]]
/ Mysterious voice: Good. Your "Friends" are going to come in handy.
/ Ki: Oh my God... / [[Trudy enters, supported by Yoshi]]
/ Trudy: We're going to need all the help we can get. http://www.gpf-comics.com/d/20060114.html |
