I think that since my mom was so anti-that scene made it easier for me to get past it.

You're right. It was mega-nasty. It was dogshit.

Was a sock really the best thing they could find to represent the ding dang worm?

nobody has a tacklebox with a rubber worm they could borrow?

It's a pretty gross scene. I don't think I'd want to emulate it any more truly, either.

Panel 3 for the goal. Those are in my top six last words.

the reason I like this strip is that onstad is classy enough NOT to use that line.

just imagining teodor sporting khan's fake pecs.

oh DAAAAANG IIIIIIIIIIIITTT

And the guns. Although Teodor would be hard-pressed to pick up Beef one-handed like Khan could do to Chekov.

All Salma Hayek goin' "Niiiiccee Pecs!"

Those were real pecs, my friend. Even at 62, Ricardo Montalban was a <i>ripped motherfucker</i>.

if we had audio of this, those last 2 panels would be So awkward sounding.

He's clearly not comfortable in the role.

Alt text: "Dang, the worm is hell of killing his brain."

I love how Beef has to lean in for Téodor to reach his ear with the sock.

panel 4, his face is just so perfect. he is leaning forward to recieve it.

"Buried alive... buried alive...."

Ah, ah, ah, ah, buried aliiiiiii-iii-iii-iiive!

ah, goddamnit. I said essentially the same thing above, then scrolled down to read this. ah well, bring the lames.

that ding dang worm hella killed him!

That's what makes it awesome.

Much like Geometry.

I can picture the set-up for this one
BEEF: (anticipating struggle w/ Teodor) Dibs on being Kirk
TEODOR: Sure
BEEF: (shocked T. did not put up more of a fight.) Ooooooohhhhh Shhhiiiiiittttttt.

Once again, the worm (a "ceti eel"), is put in Chekov's and Dave Winfield's ears, not Kirk's.

I stand corrected and uncertain as to what the hell I was thinking on that. I have shamed those who love me.

Fortunately I do not love you... but then, I do not know you.

It's a shame Teodor didn't spring for Ricardo Montalban's fake pecs on this one.

Ricardo didn't fake them pecs. He had hella workout regimen for that movie.

I also vaguely remember Montalban's autobiog mentioning that the pecs were real, too.

The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few. I am, and always have been your friend.

of all the souls i have encountered in my travels...his was the most...human.

yeah. sorry. lame me all you want...i effing <3 star trek.

Noo!
it's going to hella kill him

I am positive that is a direct quote of the movie.

I can never get enough of this floor vac thread. I really, really want one.

Beef turned into Boomhauer for his first line, there.

I enjoy the contrast between this strip and this one.

I love how the Roombas don't even move at all so it is like they are just acting out the scene normally BUT STANDING ON ROOMBAS.

This is easily the best Roomba Cinema comic. There isn't a single panel of this strip I don't laugh at every time I read it, I wish I could give this a seven.

I can't believe that no one has picked up on the genius of this strip- they are on Roombas but have no need to move. The Roombas are entirely uneeded, yet there they are.

Note: Theodor uses the same pose whether acting Khan or Vader.
