    I don't think that's a human thing. Might be a Florida thing, though.

    I often talk of the "distance" of an alternate universe to this one. Obviously it isn't physical linear distance, more like a measure of how much events occurred differently. Like I might say "The universe where I became a teacher instead of a software developer isn't far from this one". Meaning it could have easily happened that way, not much would need to be different.

    The universe in the comic is *very* far away.

    Can't be that far

    If you go far enough you end up back where you started

    Well, that would describe me as well, and I wasn't confused. I was too ignorant to be confused. I just thought they were randomly talking about alternate realities and it made it into the script.

    I just figured it was just a weird setting for a comic, to make a surreal joke. Kinda like when they hatched out of alien cocoons while talking about EA's mascot characters.

    ditto that, I haven't started Loki because I am waiting for all 6 episodes to be out.

    Considering the title, I have to post this.

    To be honest this holds up without context

    Multiversal Gabe and Tycho! I am here for this shit. :biggrin:

    Reminds me of that stupid ST:Voyager episode where Tom Paris gets turned into a small Axolotl-type creature.
    If the universe is infinite in and of itself, then you don't even need a multiverse for every potential possibility to play itself out. :)

    Ooh, right. The thing that happened in Loki.

    Now I get it.

    Yeah, my guess had been that in Florida an actual human had crawled out of a storm drain and bit someone.

    I forgot how amazing lady Tycho's hair was

    Not everybody watches the same stuff, you know?

    I mean, it's fine to make a comic that references Loki -- and the comic does work without context -- but for the commentary that usually explains the comic to say that there's context and then not provide it? That's just cruel.

    I think that's just Florida Man, the most aggressive Human.

    Without context, i thought the comic was reacting to a news story or something. I then wondered if we where talking about a actual guy eating a actual baby or a baby alligator, (which for the gators would just be the default when saying "a baby"), or something else entirely, but i was not to willing to look it up and find out.

    On a side note:female Gabe and Tycho's hair are more fabulous than they have any rights to.

    For the record, Lady Gabe and Tycho have their own names" Gabbie and Tyche.

    Coincidentally there was an incident in florida involving a guy killing an alligator.
