Sorry. Personal landslide buried me Saturday morning.
The good news is that a professor of graphic arts is paying me to build
him a computer that is powerful enough to run NORAD as a side project.
I’m waiting for the parts to arrive.
And he wants it built in a 2000s-era tower case.
Which I’m going to have to heavily modify, those old cases are shit for cooling.
How bad is it? FIVE 360mm radiators in an external housing to cool the monster.
The bad news is that I had to visit the ER Saturday morning.
Waiting for test results. Peaks and valleys, my friends.
My life is nothing but peaks and valleys.
I just added 2 more 120 exhaust fans on my system after a
MAJOR cat-fur cleaning… Jeez and I thought my medium-hair
Shepard shed a lot! I had to put an extra fine adapter on my
shop vac just to clear circuits. That 2 1/2 bigger than my 120’s
That thing is going to sound like my shop vac!
Two possible base scenarios that I can envision:
A) They don’t really work for Imogen, but are trying to
give the company a bad name.
and
B) They do work for Imogen, and are about to get fired.
Either way, they’ll be losing their tank tops at a minimum.
If they are (were) employees, they’ll also be losing their
bikes (Imogen property) their clothing, and their paychecks.
Minka will probably need to issue a public apology on behalf
of the company, letting everyone know the names of the
assholes who have been causing traffic jams, and letting
everyone know that said assholes were all summarily fired as
soon as it was brought to her attention.
And I really hope the chief asshole gets a proper schooling,
courtesy of either Minka, Negron or Mavia.
C) don’t work for Imogen, and are working / milking corporate
sponsor angle. “not this scene” this happened IRL,. A group
sent an ‘Official letterhead’ to PR. and got gear and clothes,
company also paid entry fees… it was case of left hand didn’t
know what right was doing. till a scandal, and the boss took
notice…
This is along the lines as the story line “Stolen Valor,”
I figure they had those shirts and such made up for
the wow factor, thinking that Minka or anyone would
know or care. I knew they didn’t work for her,
otherwise Mr. Grabby wouldn’t have tried that, much
less say what he did. Minka is known by everyone at
Imogen…
(A) They don’t work for Imogen, but
are about to be fired anyway. All
Minka has to do is gather some info
(names), make some phone
calls, have some research done,
make a second phone call, and
(poof!) four unemployed bike
riders. All while they’re
standing there.
8… there are 8 riders to a team.
AND, since there are 4 here and did stop him,.
i think the other 4 might have been added to
make a team, and don’t really hang out…
In no world is grabbing a woman you don’t know and don’t
know will be ok with it “just being friendly”. In most states
this is assault, and by implication bordering on sexual assault.
In this world: “You physically assaulted me. By my codes
I can kill you.”
He’s an ignoramus as well. There has been no evidence of
morally comprised Catians, and he just grabbed a woman
who is obviously traveling with that really large Catian. It
would be a safe assumption by anyone with half a brain
that such an action could be construed as assault, and
result in a severe cat induced ass-whuppin.
Don’t forget Mavia, I have little doubt she’s either on the roof or somewhere
she can pounce at a moment’s notice. She’s a scout, and she acts like she’s
on a “hunt” every time. Like the time she broke that guys arm. Over Minka
as well. This a-hole is a “Chad,” he thinks he’s god’s gift and no lady would
refuse his advances. BIG mistake!
Good point on Mavia. Zooming in on panel 3, she’s not in the driver’s seat.
Which means she’s most probably not in the vehicle at all.
So, those morons have a pissed off Minka, her hired bodyguard (Mavia) and
her good friend Negron all upset with them. Yeah, they’re all dead meat –
they just don’t know it yet.
This clown is clearly clueless, I learned to read a lady’s body language a loooong
time ago, if she likes you, they either put their arms behind them and lean in
while talking, or cross their arms under their boobs and lean in. If they dislike you
they cross their arms OVER their boobs and step back, or like now, her arms are
up while stepping back. Plus, he sees a slim helpless girl, I see a toned and trained
fighter who knows how to make up for her size. Plus he’s presenting 3 primary
targets for a trained fighter to strike.
Scars –
Good point on the body language. I just notice this as well. Negron
in panel 3 has one of his arms crossed and his eyes wide open. In
panel 4 his arms are at his sides and his eyes are slightly squinted.
Can you say “focused on prey”?
I agree, Negron went from watching to pissed
and on the move, that guy is so focused on
Minka that he doesn’t notice just how much
in danger he’s in now! Not to mention Mavia
is likely flanked these four and is watching
them and the door of the restaurant. None of
those clowns have any training other than
how to piss off people.
I had watched a short video of Neal Tyson DeGassi slamming Musk’s idea
of saving humanity on Mars, the thing is, Musk isn’t thinking of a meteor
hitting the planet, he’s looking at how messed up the human race is on
Earth, so setting up a colony on Mars might fix SOME of the idiots.
My father had a bad day, Yesterday he insisted there was a strange woman
in the living room, I had to go to the spot where he said she was and wave
my arms through her to calm him down. Then, at 3:30 am I got up to use
the bathroom, he was sitting in the dark at the table. He told me he couldn’t
get to his bed because the room was full of onions… I had to show him
there was nothing other than his dirty clothes collection I need to gather
up and wash.
This disease is just so cruel…
Open foot, insert mouth
He’s just digging deeper and deeper, isn’t he?

Damn, sir look after yourself first.
Get well. We will wait.
Jeez, take you time and get better, I knew something was going on PC,
wish I had the cash and know-how to build a monster like that!
He still doesn’t know who she is, or that “big black cat” is about to make
him smart, just not in a good way!
What they said. Take care of yourself.
360mm? I assume that’s an area measurement, rather
than diameter, as that equates to 14.17+ inches.
Run NORAD as a side project? Snerk! That’s gonna be
one powerful computer!
Or is the 360mm the circumference of the circle?
That would be 4.5+” diameter circles. If so, that’s
a LOT of cooling.
360mm = 14.17 inches, my 3D printers are 220mm square and 240mm high…
120mm is about 3.4 inches.
Think dinner plate sized.

360mm long & 120mm high …
Uh-oh wrong answer in panel four.
Play theme for Dragnet now.
Dead men walking (riding)…..
They just don’t know it yet

There’s more than four of them. The rest are apparently in the store.
Count the identical bikes.
Sorry. Count the identical bikes in the previous post.

i think the other 4 might have been added to

PC you are still editing… 🙂
I had to laugh at this:
