    For once Dunwoody got something right. While he wasn’t able to save people on the Hindenburg he did at least save the passengers on the Titanic. I’d call that at least a partial win.

      Well, until the flaming hull of the Hindenburg fell onto the Titanic, burning the boat and all of its passengers alive, that is…

      • iamlegion

         But the iceberg would cancel out the burning Hindenburg, wouldn’t it?

          Ah… but they left that back at the 14th of April, 1912, in the North Atlantic.

            At least he didn’t take them to Florida.

        It wouldn’t be too bad. The thing about Hydrogen is that even though it’s very flammable, it’s also much lighter than air (which is of course why it’s used) so it burns very quickly and spectacularly, but moves up as it’s doing so. In fact, almost twice as many people survived the disaster than were killed by it (no consolation to the dead folk, but still).  So my thinking is that while dropping a whole lot of aluminum on top of the Titanic would probably be pretty nasty for the people on the top deck or two, most of the fire would have been burned out, and of course the ship wouldn’t really sink after that, so it’s not too bad.  I mean, it’s not the best place to send the ship, if you have the choice, but I can certainly think of worse.

    I foresee a Super-fun-pak supercomic team-up featuring Phil Collins and the Ghost of James Caan. Though I’m not sure why.

    • Sparg

      Begin with Phil Collins stuck at a toll booth.  Yeah, I can see it!

  • wysinwyg

    I think Mr. Doctor, Jr. should get his own spin off.

  • franko

    “rock superstar phil collins” = best line in the whole thing.

    • carsonic

       Thank you for that.

    Hey, I’ve got a great idea for a post-modernist alternative spoof of one of these comics. I’ll call it “Slappy & Gonko & Cat-Atomic & Bluggo the Pink Narwhal & Mannix’s Lapel & Amanda the Sassy Disney Channel Teen & Zintazrsi & Bluggo’s Daughter Who Is A Lefty & Max A. Million & Hi & The Vague Feeling That What You Ordered Won’t Be Enough To Eat & Homeboyz & Diggity Dogg The Dog Who Likes Falafel & Mr. Doctor, Jr. & Muggi Minus Slappy & Gonko & Cat-Atomic & Bluggo the Pink Narwhal & Mannix’s Lapel & Amanda the Sassy Disney Channel Teen & Zintazrsi & Bluggo’s Daughter Who Is A Lefty & Max A.

    Loving the meta-commentary.

     I am tempted to make “Godwin’s Law Through History” into an avatar photo.  If only my head was 3x wider.

  • Henrik Jonsson

    “Diggity Dogg the Dog Who Likes Falafel” sounds like an amazing character.

    • petz79

       What about Bluggo the pink narwhal and his lefty daughter?

  • marktrail

    Nice to see that my cousin the international woodlands detective finally got his own strip.
