The Watch Saga

Larlar · March 2003

If there's anything more obscure than the second comic, I can't think of it.

jerzakie · March 2003

Man, I never put that together, thats great!

Dog · March 2003

You know I love it.

Larlar · April 2003

I figured I'd put the newest installment in here. And I thought this saga died long ago...

Man, you beat me to it. The newest one, I have to say, is pretty brutal. I think it may get the award for "most violent PA strip," which is saying something. I guess it's not as funny if each one doesn't get more violent. So far the progression has been fists (offpanel) -> falling rock (only aftermath shown) -> can opener (somewhat provoked) -> shovel (totally unprovoked). What next? A Reservoir Dogs style torture scene?

mothman · April 2003

i think the next one should be a woodchipper ala fargo with the hand at the top... and then gabe goes oh shit and stops it and takes the watch off
tychos wrist and turns it back on....

Larlar · April 2003

It'd be nice just to have a random watch saga addition say, once every six months or something. So it doesn't get old, and we can laugh at anyone new who can't understand why a watch is funny.

mothman · April 2003

aye i dont want it to turn into

Hmm, I just stumbled over this case of "watch taunting", would that be considered part of the saga ?

crawdaddio · May 2003

I think the second comic in the saga had something to do with an earthquake that happened in real life.

Nah, that's not taunting... That's Tycho actually checking the watch because he's bored of standing there waiting for Gabe to think of something else to say...

...Maybe

:rotate:

But the mere presence of the precious must drive Gabe up the walls, and indeed the next owner change happens in the kitchen.

But then there's no violence in that strip, so it kinda breaks the flow.

Could be. There was a wicked earthquake in Olympia a couple years ago, which hit Seattle area pretty hard.

Shiosai · May 2003

I'm glad larlar did this and not The Geek. If it were The Geek, I would really start to worry about his archive fetish. Well done larlar!! I knew they were there but never thought about putting them together

Spanner · September 2004

It's ba-aaack:

Shiosai · September 2004

wow, has it really been over a year since the last one?

crazy

FyreWulff · September 2004

each one's from a different year.

also, note that each one is in a different style..

TDL · September 2004

It's my favorite continuity.

Darkseid · September 2004

How about the first post get updated, just to have it all in one post...

skyknyt · September 2004

Psh, YOU drag Larlar in here and make him do it.

Larlar · September 2004

Done and done.

Ever since the forum split, occasionally catching up with threads on this side of the fence is long and hard, but not a penis. Maaan.

Poker · June 2005

They are about due for the next installment. It seems they've done one a year since 1999.

futility · June 2005

then maybe it's just over

ElderCat · August 2005

Gabe and tycho Definitively stated this is part of the watch saga:

Szechuanosaurus · September 2005

A homage:

{By me}

Munkus Beaver · February 2006

The newest one.

Szechuanosaurus · February 2006

Teehee...I was going to do that.

Szechuanosaurus · February 2006

Oh shit...I think we've missed one...or there's a continuity fuckup. The last one was Gabe getting savaged by a dog...so Tycho should've had the watch already...

Bionic Monkey · February 2006

I just checked... it's a continuity fuck-up.

TDL · May 2006

This is by far my favorite continuity.

Legacy · May 2006

Yeah. I've always liked it.

Too bad they fucked it up.

S.S.Komik · February 2007

I don't really think it's a fuck-up. In all the other strips of the saga, we see The Watch changing owners. If we don't see it, it doesn't happen, like people dying in bad horror movies. Hence, after the dog episode, Gabe still has The Watch, as evidenced by the latest Watch-strip.
