on January 8, 2018 at 12:01 amChapter: The Seventh Power
Characters: Alisin Oberf, Jackie Thomas, Meighan McDowell, Rikk Oberf, Rumiko Tanaka, Shanna Cochran, that poor RVer, Will Erixon
Location: Utah somewhere
rikk’s got so much dirt on his weenus now
HEY T WHAT UP
That poor RVer.
The last alternate timeline the Fans wandered into was a hellish dystopia run by out-of-control law enforcement and Big Pharma, so it’s hard to argue they shouldn’t have some paranoia. Still, I probably should have had more of the cast express some doubts about the morality of this course of action, the way one of them will in the next installment. No matter how Rikk tries to dress it up here, it’s a screw-someone-before-we-get-screwed mentality that shows how PTSD has tainted him.
And that punchline… UMMMMM… is probably best viewed as a relic of a time when it was still considered surprising and subversive even to acknowledge such tastes. Monty Python’s “Lumberjack” sketch hasn’t aged all that well for me, either.
…oh, oh, i see, i always thought Poor RVer just had lots of girlfriends
welp!
Ah
I thought the RV guy had stolen some family’s RV idk ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I thought he was a serial killer keeping their undergarments as trophies.
That was my first thought as well x)
I thought it was a shipping van for a clothing store, or a moving van.
I’d always just assumed dude kept souvenirs.
Y’know, Rikk, you could try asking questions.
I think I’ve watched too much of shows like Criminal Minds or something. My first thought when I read the last panel was that RV guy was a serial killer who keeps women’s underwear as trophies. I’m kinda disturbed by my own imagination sometimes.
I don’t even watch those shows and jumped right to the same conclusion. I guess that’s worse?
Same
Ditto

Yeah, it’s kind of unlikely that he’d be the same bra size as even one of the Fans cast, let alone all of them.
And now, for the rest of this crossover, I’m going to be assuming that most of them are wearing very uncomfortable underwear. Yikes.
iiiiiiiiiiii had always assumed this rver was some kind of serial killer
where were the women all these clothes belonged to
I think that would make it more like the beginning of the lumberjack sketch, which is much better anyway.
I was thinking serial killer too. And about how hard it seems to be to find a fitting bra even in a well-stocked store. 😉
Did the gun belong to Meighan? I don’t think any of the others had clothes with enough storage space.
It looked like Shanna only lost her clothes below the waist. A shoulder holster under her jacket would work just fine.
I’m just gonna say, I’m trans and I still love the lumberjack sketch. I can understand why it might be viewed with a different lens today, but from my perspective it more celebrates the crossdressing narrator at the expense of his narrow-minded companions rather than making fun of him.
But again, mileage may vary, so if someone else doesn’t see it that way, I get it.
How much assortment is there typically in such a collection like that guy has?
Five women looking for underwear, five very diverse body types.
prolly not eager to return anything that doesn’t fit
(also some of them stretch)
This has been FASCINATING.
Is the first panel positing that Shanna is hiding behind a signpost? I know she’s thin, but…
I never noticed that before. A bit Looney Tunes.
I am alarmed at how many people went to serial killer for explanation. As for why he would have so many different sizes, a few thoughts. First, sizing for women’s clothing is downright malicious and I wouldn’t be surprised if every one of them wears some form of size 2. Leading to second thought, women pretty much have to try on every article of clothing in the store to see if it actually fits or not. Something he can’t do so he winds up with a lot of things that are the wrong size.
