| Escape Phrase 86 | Jimothy: RARRRR!
/ [[The bars fade briefly where Jimothy is concentrating his power.]] / Jimothy: I don't get it. Please, try something.
/ Tsamantha: Okay. / [[A rainbow bursts out from her face, blurring and eventually passing out on top of the bars.]]
/ Tsamantha: I think it's working!! http://nameremoved.com/comics/150/ |
| Escape Phrase 87 | [[A shadowy figure sits at a drafting board. Earlier installments of the comic are pinned on the wall. The previous comic is on the drafting board.]]
/ Shadowy Figure: These dang kids! What do they think they're doing? I guess I better get "Doctor Quickly" to go talk to them and try to calm them down. / Dr Quickly: Wait, maybe I should have said that. http://nameremoved.com/comics/151/ |
| Escape Phrase 88 | Dr Quickly: Hey, kids.
/ Tsamantha: Wh... what ARE you?! / Dr Quickly: I'm Dr Quickly, of course. / Jimothy: But... you're that weird monster from his comics! From Dr Quickly's class handouts! / Dr Quickly: Yes, well. This is my TRUE FORM. Or, rather, what you know as "Dr Quickly" is merely one aspect of my TRUE FORM. / Dr Quickly: For I am... THE AUTHOR http://nameremoved.com/comics/152/ |
| Escape Phrase 89 | Dr Quickly: It's like in Cerebus, where he meets the author and all sorts of weirdness that is interesting occurs.
/ Tsamantha: I never read that.
/ Jimothy: In what? / Dr Quickly: Yeah... me neither. Nick told me about it. Anyway, that's not the point. This whole story existed to make some strange points about metafictional narratives. / Jimothy: Is this all just some terrible joke? You, the "Author"... and our POWERS... / Dr Quickly: No. I created you. The force of it made the four you faced. And here we are at the end of the story. Your story. http://nameremoved.com/comics/153/ |
| Escape Phrase 90 | Tsamantha: So what's going to happen to us?
/ Dr Quickly: A tragic blaze of glory. / Tsamantha: What? / Dr Quickly: You try to escape. Thing is, like I said, the story is almost over. http://nameremoved.com/comics/154/ |
| Escape Phrase 91 | Tsamantha: So what are we going to do?
/ Jimothy: IS there anything? / Jimothy: My powers don't work, yours don't... / Tsamantha: Yeah, but what if we sync them up?! CO-OPERATION! / Jimothy: A blaze of glory? Why not! The deck's stacked against us but we might as well play. / Jimothy: Let's see who's really writing this story -- us, or some weird triangle monster.
/ Tsamantha: Yeah! / Jimothy: Okay! On the count three -- one... two... http://nameremoved.com/comics/155/ |
| Escape Phrase 92 | [[Rabid is reading Escape Phrase volume 8]] http://nameremoved.com/comics/156/ |
| Escape Phrase 93 | [[Rabid is reading Escape Phrase volume 8. The blurb on the back reads: "THE END OF THE UNIVERSE... ? THE BEGINNING OF TIME... ? The thrilling conclusion to the award-winning comic saga by renowned inventor Dr German Quickly. In this final volume, Jimothy and Tsamantha confront OO, the last of the Fundamental Forces, in a terrifying and unpredictable battle. The fate of their diagetic system hangs in the balance!"]] http://nameremoved.com/comics/157/ |
| Escape Phrase 94 | [[Rabid is reading Volume 8 of Escape Phrase.]]
/ Dr Quickly: So what do you think?
/ Rabid: Well, it's a neat twist... / Rabid: But having the last few dozen pages blank instead of resolving anything is kind of a cop-out.
/ Dr Quickly: ?! / Dr Quickly: I did no such thing! Let me see that.

/ Rabid: HOW can this BE?! / Rabid: I brush my teeth dozens of times a day and eat nothing but flavourless nutrient wafers!
/ Rabid: Because I want to be futuristic. / Rabid: In fact, I spend most of my time in the bathroom, because it is brightly lit and well mirrored -- both attributes I associate with the future.
/ Rabish: Come with me. / Rabish: Your toothpaste is full of sugar! And these "flavourless nutrient wafers" are sweetened -- with SUGAR!!
/ Rabid: Ah! I thought they were too not flavourless. / Rabish: The putrescence of your rotting teeth is unpleasant! and oppressive! and reminds me of the unpleasant and oppressive things in our world right now. / Rabid: You mean like a science-fictional dystopia?
