If I had actually bet any money on today's comic I'd have lost all of it
The site layout changed too, besides the convention message

If I had actually bet any money on today's comic I'd have lost all of it Probability is X over N, and when N has as many values as were chasing down Smitty, it is best to hedge your bets.  |

Hmm, yes... Hard to argue with this. ;D ...but someone always will.  Unseen bonus panel: Octopus bumps into Jones down at the bottom. Why not? Who knows where she likes to go for a stroll? |

in light of the current discussions...
i couldn't help thinking, "hmm, yes... yes. this makes a lot more sense!"
was pretty much my reaction when it occured to me that maybe i was gay.
(don't read too much into this, it was just a stray thought)

(don't read too much into this, it was just a stray thought)  The octopus is a metaphor for Kat/Paz! GENIOUSE! Seriously though, was it born in the forest? How has it never been to the ocean before? |

Seriously though, was it born in the forest? How has it never been to the ocean before? i think the original question meant how did it come to be in the forest on that page. like is it from a family of air dwelling octopi or what? |

I hope the next chapter features Doctor Disaster, that's been like 20 chapters since we last saw him!

This page is probably my favorite page. Go, little octopus! Go and be free! I hope the next chapter features Doctor Disaster, that's been like 20 chapters since we last saw him! YES. Everyone could use a little more Doctor in their life, why not now? |

Smitty advised him to jump of a cliff? No. Smitty advised told him he should be in an ocean. |

what?! what happened to my other arms then?? i feel cheated. It is up to you to choose the answer you think fits best. - You had this panic attack before you finished counting them. Please calm down and try again.
- You belong to a species of octopi who for some utterly inexplicable reason don't grow all the arms at once, so if at first the count is <8, just wait.
- You may need more time to count them properly.
- Some humans cut them off, as a part of an evil plot to convince you you're not an octopus.
- They're right in front of you, but some humans convinced you it's not so, as a part of an evil plot to convince you you're not an octopus. Don't trust the human science.
- Right behind you!
- They're woven in plaits, so there are 8, but it looks like there are only 2.

That chickcharney got him trapped in "Luck -> More Luck" positive feedback loop until he had to run, right? It's not like this could have some really weird consequences? ;D |
