[Semantics]

I accidentally read that second panel as "Hyperscam."

For some reason I can't hotlink to the comic. Anyone know why?

I'm sorry this didn't appear earlier; I was in a rush & forgot to hit publish. Now it's out of order. :/

 

This shouldn't happen again; I changed the blog's default setting to "publish" instead of "save draft."

 

Sorry again, & thanks for reading.

Ok. Fixed now. Forgot to publish 14 & 18; they should be there now.

Thank you! I'm glad you're enjoying it!

I'm surprised too; it's not like photosensitive epileptic seizures are an unknown thing.

 

(WARNING! THIS SCENE DID CAUSE SEIZURES. And it made the news internationally. And it's spent years in the Guinness book of World Records as the worst seizure-causing incident in the history of TV. Probably still there, but I can't find the record on their website.)

I thought it was a measure of time when I saw it in the theater (at 12). It wasn't until later that I found out what a parsec was.

 

For that matter, George could've just claimed that "in the Star Wars universe, a parsec means something different". It doesn't have to mean the same thing there, as here. Different galaxy, different language, long time ago, etc.

You could say that the Falcon has a warp drive, & that's how much it can warp space, couldn't you?

I've assumed it was shorthand for "12 parsecs [in a standard unit of time everyone in the story already knows about.]"

 

I'd like to see some of those early books made into movies. This was fun at times, but it was kinda long, w/o a clear plot.

 

The Thief of Baghdad, the 40's version with Sabu, had it's director fired. The producer wanted a grander scale than what the 1st director was giving him. (Going by memory.)

Interesting, thank you for posting it.
