Where It All Went Wrong (Part 2)
First off, let us set aside the logical fallacies of this time traveling expedition okay? Theoretically, there is nothing you could do to change the future, anyway, right?
That said, in this comic, I have tried to bring to light how easy it is to fall into old unhealthy habits. It is really a wonderful foray into the world of psychology and human behavior, or something. I mean, a dinosaur with a top hat and tie? Wrap your head around that symbolism, Dr. Freud!
Alcoholics and drug addicts might understand this. So might the chronically lazy. (hint: I do not fall into the first two categories!)
I am really not sure why Future-K hangs out with a dinosaur. It seemed like a logical progression when I discussed it with my brother. I honestly hadn’t meant to do a part 2, but it seemed like it needed some sort of resolution. I did not want you, o reader, to feel stress at the un-resolved nature of K’s time traveling adventures.
I am considering the possibility of little mini-series involving Future-K and Benjamin Franklin Rex, his toothy side-kick. We will see how that goes.
Thanks to everyone sending mail and commenting! I love hearing from you and I try to respond whenever I can!
Discussion (24) ¬
I see no glasses on Bengi Rex’s snout… should I just assume he had laser eye surgery! Shall we add two and two to say that the future finds laser eye surgery where your eye’s don’t pop out 20 years in the future? Gah the time paradoxes you submit are FAULTY… but I bet he loves him some coconuts with them teeths…
Oh Cyber-right arm… should I even ask what that is all about, and should I ask if it has a turbo button?
AND ON A SIDENOTE!… Love your comics ^^;;
The escapades of Future-K and BFRex (gasp! Those two are BFs, aren’t they! You Sneaky Pete, you.) need to see the light of day, IMO. The world needs more steampunk-teeth duos.
Ha ha ha ha ha. Scott you get even awesomer in the future.
I’m going to write a story about how you got that cybernetic arm.
Amazing. I believe Benjamin Franklin Rex needs a monocle to match that top hat!
Woah! Future K is badass!
I don’t really see the problem here – a robot arm, a time machine and a T-Rex with a top hat surely make up for that crayon up his nose.
Don’t see a problem?! Anyone that hangs out with a T-Rex in a top hat is clearly dysfunctional. Not to mention T-Rex arms are RIDICULOUS. Who even designs a creature with such a hysterical structure.
seems like you and sassy run into relationship troubles in the future
I like the past/present/future K thing. I think that this could be EASILY carried out in a few more comics and be hilarious.
And in terms of the T-Rex, doesn’t K normally hang out with a Sasquatch in other strips, anyway? Comparatively, I think the T-Rex is more normal, top hat or not.
Arex, imagine Benjamin Franklin Rex sipping from a teacup, holding it with one of its fingers and daintily extending the other one.
Tell me that isn’t awesome.
I like past K’ s grin in the middle panel.
hahaha I prefer future K’s line over the ones we were brainstorming over.
I’m thoroughly envious of your work :] You’re pretty amazing!
By far, my favourite comic in your archives.
i must say, im very glad that future K has automail. haha :3
the real conundrum is: why does Benjamin call him Future-K when he is his present K?
Time travel is not possible as there is no time dimension. To “travel to the past” one would have to accelerate the universe past the speed of light in relation to oneself (which is ridiculous and impossible). Even then the “past” that the universe would compute backwards to would not be the same as the one you remember, as your energy and matter in- and output would be absent.
Exactly.
sheesh its not like its hard to figure out how to fix this. why guess when you went back in time the first time and just follow its trail back to its origin point in the timeline and jump to before it started. there problem solved. seriously if you have the tech or whatever to jump through time you certainly have what you need to follow a trail of something like that… but this again brings up the grandfather issue…
How’d he lose his arm?
Maybe Ben Franklin Rex bit it off.
