BALONK!
on August 20, 2019 at 12:01 amThere’s no way the title of this strip wasn’t gonna be BALONK!.
I was establishing here that Ultra Car and her pals needed to, like, become better over time, against their (in my childhood) rival Monkey Master, rather than just spanking him out of the gate. Also: Oh no! Danny! Stakes! Pay me $100 again!
In my mind, though, you know, of course, Danny/Joe/Ultra Car would go on to train and become better and eventually best Monkey Master. In my mind. However! Ultra Car joined the cast of Shortpacked! in a few years, and all that got kinda tossed down the drain. Oh well! Sorry, Ultra Car. You don’t even join in at the Big Wedding Fight At The End.
My Big Fat Geek Wedding (Fight)
I’ve had story lines I’ve either forgotten about or cut for plot conflicts, and that always made me sad… forgotten, sure, I could go back and write later, except that I told myself once I finished a book I wouldn’t pull a George Lucas (until I finished at least MOST of the rest of the books… I mean why rewrite the first two when I have FIVE unfinished)
Actually, that reminds me. DOES the Monkey Master plot ever resolve? I remember practically everyone/thing else coming back at some point, either here or in Shortpacked!, but… yeah, I cannot for the life of me remember what happened to MM.
No spoilers, pls, for others who are reading for the first time. Just a yes/no will suffice.
Yes.
Cool. **looks forward to that**
I can’t tell what Panel Two is supposed to be. Ultra Car? Part of MM?
Ultra Car after MM drops her.
AH. Thank you.
And before Machete rips her door off. Good job, Machete; that had to have hurt at least as much as getting dropped.
So I’m assuming this is why Ultra Car has a different car chassis when she appears later in Shortpacked.
But she does get to be Spider-Car, she’s got that going for her.
Dammit, Danny, why are you HERE
Way to Dan it up
He must have got the taste for action after destroying the martian mothership.
Either that or he just happened to be riding somewhere with Joe when the call came through.
