The cat should be facing us in panel 3 so we can see its beard and mustache.

facetious

Sabre raises a valid point.



How long before you make that edit, Sabre?

mare_imbrium

Is what Tycho's sporting going to be the style in fifteen or twenty years? I don't...I don't even know what to call that style other than "someone added a beard and mustache to a photo with a sharpie" style.

But why would a corpse have a beard and mustache?

I won't be making that edit.


And I was wondering if they were forward-looking and filmed the prequel trilogy with 3D cameras just in case 3D technology became better post-1997, but then I remembered they filmed the whole thing against a bluescreen so the 3D conversion should be trivial.

I totally have the Original Trilogy on VHS, laserdisc, etc... 8-)

I love the laserdisc Definitive Collection so much!

Artreus

He copy/pasted the first and third panel?

Don't think I've seen gabe do that too often.

SabreMau

Exactly.

And didn't the real cat die a while ago, or get put up for adoption, or something?

Also, did they ever release the prequel trilogy on laserdisc and Betamax? Just for goofy times?

It's sad that I'm really excited that Thomas Kemper is in this comic.

It's a subtle commentary on George Lucas.

Or maybe he was just running late.

Dark Raven X

Kemper! YES. Put Div in the Friday strip for a week of returning classics.

I don't really know if Rex Ready is considered a classic yet. I think he should be.

facetious

Also, Tycho's facial her is very distinguished. Of course, I would expect nothing less from such a gentleman and scholar.

mensch-o-matic

That is exactly the correct type of facial hair that Tycho would grow and I enjoy looking at it

Dubh

It only took Gabe whole time between those panels without shaving to get that sort of beard

I'm certain he's real proud of it

Well the third panel is intended to simply be a somewhat different occurence of the first panel, only "X" years later!

Thomas Kemper!

Bacon-BuTTy

This is hilarious.

Kagera

I'll always be a whore for a comic with a cute pet with it's tongue sticking out.

Ringo

Copy and paste panels?!?

WHAT DO I PAY YOU PEOPLE FOR?!

Squall

triumphant return of t kemper

Franko

I was hoping third panel cat would just be an empty rotting husk

aka my love life

I gotta side with Gabe on this one. I love Star Wars. My mom took me to see episode 6 when it originally released to theatres and I was only an infant. I grew up watching episode 4 on an old VHS that I'm sure my dad copied from the video rental place. I saw episodes 4-6 when they re-released them to the theatres in the 90s. I bought the widescreen VHS set. I saw episodes 1-3 during the midnight showings. I bought episode 1 on VHS and I have a piece of film that was included with it. I rebought episode 1 and then bought episodes 2 and 3 on DVD, and rebought episodes 4-6 on DVD.

I'm done.

I'm not buying the re-re-released original Star Wars movies on DVD. I'm not buying them on Bluray. I'm not going to go to the theatre to watch them in 3D.


(and for a hilarious review, go find the 70 minute Phantom Menace review and the 90 minute Attack of the Clones review)

Honk

The cat looks like a cat-bunny.

Darmak

I lost my shit when I noticed Tycho and Gabe had what looked like crayon beards.

Cameron_Talley

I have the original cuts on DVD. They may not be anamorphic Widescreen but my projector blows them up just fine.

Not spending another penny on Star Wars.

Except maybe the occasional Lego set.

basino

It looks like Gabe's hand is crushing the cat's body and the cat is passed out over his leg.

Langly

why would anyone pay to watch the Phantom Menace anyway?

I thought the same thing! We should be best friends

Henroid

3-D is ruining the cinema, I swear.

Jordanthehutt

Pretty sure the whole copy paste thing is the whole gag. They are in literally the exact same situation in 15 to 20 years.

Peccavi

Damn it, George Lucas

Let it go

I have purchased Star Wars twice - Original trilogy on VHS, and the 6-pack with the un-fucked theater versions.

Peter Ebel

I've watched Seven Samurai in theatres like 3 times. Gonna see it again in about two weeks.

I do not feel that the Phantom Menace warrants another viewing though.

Macro9

Is that cat blowing him?

I have Empire on DVD.

I don't really like the others that much. The upcoming BluRay release is annoying.

a: It's too expensive. And they know it and don't care.

b: I just want the original theatrical releases, touched up and remastered with none of that special edition bullshit CGI tacked on. That's all. I don't want anything else and they seem to make it so hard to acquire just that.
