@ Merendel, Yes, but I don’t think that’s what Will is referring to; Wedge did fly around with a fake ewok doll strapped to his chest, but Lara Notsil/Gara Petothel/Kirney Slane found an ewok that could pilot ships with leg and arm extensions when she was escaping from Iron Fist (he was not named Kettch, but a facsimile of the character otherwise). When she sends a message to Myn Donos at the end of Solo Command she tells him that he’s already met her droid but she has a copilot that he “really needs to meet.” In that message, she… Read more »
Hmm I do vaguely remember that now that you mention it. wasnt the real ewok an experiment by warlord zinjj (or whatever his name was) to duplicate the supposed experiment that created the fictitious kettch? Been a long time since I read any of the Xwing books but I do remember the Wraith squadron arc of them being particularly amusing due to all the shenanigans they got up to including the kettch running gag.
Same. Its what i loved about the prereboot comic. It was just gamers in their daily lives. I could relate to that ethan.

I am extremely pleased with this arc. I have read it so many times with awe. Thank you for bringin Ethan and Lucas’ slice of life back! It was the thing I fell in love with CAD in the first time and I have missed it dearly.
Warm hugs of gratefulness from someone who has read nearly from the beginning. X
Are you paying any attention to what you are saying?
Who/what is this acid, and why is there a dead body atop that big slab of rock with weird symbols painted on?
It was a joke someone made on a YT video, how the drug acid in our world is like going trickster mode, then someone mentioned if it died and went god tier, basically becoming more powerful, we would have trickster mode. And there’s a dead body atop the big slab of rock with the doom symbol painted on because Ovreir was stabbed and he wanted to go god tier :3
I get not only that reference, but the unintentional one Ethan made a few comics ago when he said “thinkpan”. And what would acid’s godly pajamas look like?

Great comic today Tim. I laughed harder than I probably should have, especially considering I was at work.

Licenses to sell porn or food?!? What happened to the free market?!?
Food Handling licenses or Food Safety Certifications are required in a number of countries for any food products that are not ‘packaged’ foods (crisps, chocolate bars, etc) – numerous states in the USA Australia, New Zealand, Europe/European Union, Japan, the list goes on.
If you try to sell any kind of food that you process/cook yourself without an appropriate license, you can be fined anywhere up to tens of thousands of dollars and be looking at jail time.
This makes childhoods of yard sales a crime…but the brownies were delicious 😉

Its weird how this joke almost seems formulaic, but I guess it also sets up some expectations that make the joke hit that much harder. Ethan identifies something that causes him irritation, and then comes up with a hair brained, off the wall, completely bananas solution. Lucas does not dismiss the idea, but instead takes it at full face value, and smashes it with reality, and the occasional sarcastic undertone.
Because porn is short for “pornography,” a non-derogatory term naming the portrayal of sexual acts in a visual medium, and “whore” is a VERY derogatory (and far too commonly used, unfortunately) term used to describe a person in the profession of prostitution.

This reminded me why I started reading this comic. More please.

😀 I love, how Lucas can virtually read Ethan’s mind 😀
Years of practice.
Yub yub, Lt Kettch.
Love the reference, that takes me back a few years. “Yub yub, Commander.”
I love when Lt Ketch becomes real
wasnt it wedge himself that ended up flying around with the ewok doll strapped to his chest in that book?

Good point, I forgot the connection that the story of Kettch was what inspired Zsinj to duplicate it, and that’s who Petothel found. Well played sir.
Yub yub, Commander!
When it comes to food and porn, I’m pretty sure most people can read Ethan’s mind XD
That IS about 60% of his brain’s content
I’m enjoying the return of Ethan and Lucas just doing their thing. Honestly the super hero stuff just didn’t work for me.

Much agreed. Thanks Tim!
If acid died and went god tier, we would have trickster mode. 10 points to whoever gets the reference.

It is a good joke.
You must be a riot at parties dude…
Mild analysis of a simple logical technique?
Which is then countered with a near reversal of the previous statement?
What horror!
How would one even pronounce that?
Porn’dehrs of course.
With a silent “n”?
I am French, and I would just pronounce that Porn D’œuvres.
Why in the world would we not call them whore d’oeuvres?
Because that would change the joke from something lighthearted and silly to something negative and derogatory.
Best reply to any comment, ever. Bravo, Tim.

I missed these guys.
Yeah it’s nice to have them back
