Dominic Deegan: Oracle for Hire, Mk. XXXIII: DeeganBallZ

[Domochevsky]

"Even keeping my mental and physical projections separate."

...i don't get it. What is being projected where?

[Mr. McGician]

"Even keeping my mental and physical projections separate."

...i don't get it. What is being projected where?

I think he just meant that only his mind was in the plane while his body was back at his house. Though I don't know why he would call his body a "physical projection," because nothing is being projected. And I also don't know how he could get hit by things if it's just his mind that's there.

[Coidzor]

Don't think about it too hard, is all I can say, because I don't see any way that it makes sense and many ways to make one's brain hurt. x,x

"Even keeping my mental and physical projections separate."

Elementary, my dear Domochevsky. Domi made a projection of himself that went into PoD. Then when the fighting began, he yanked its brain out and threw it some distance away to get it away from the danger zone. Not being a jock, he didn't care about what happened to his body. Unfortunately, the spinal cord didn't tear cleanly so the brain was yoinked back (like yo-yo) into his body-projection and felt all the Pain Crabby gave him. But it's OK! Domi loves pain. When he gets back to hi real-world body he will get neck pains and wouldn't be able to look Luna in the eyes when they're married.

[Garland]

So, part of the plan is that Snuggly can't reform in the plane of destruction? Because that would count as creating, and as such would summon the Lobster Police? Is that too coherent for the comic?


This isn't the end of snuggly is it? Can it be?

[Kiroth6]

Is anyone else bothered by the fact that DD seems to have lost his limbs on the wrong side?

[Domochevsky]

Excellent lightsaberswordsmanship, i'd say.

[Thufir]

I guess he had to make some sort of partial physical projection of himself in order to do the magic to create the teddy bear?
Basically, it's one of these occasions where several strips must be spent explaining the 'I Win' button after it has been pushed.

[Oracle_Hunter]

The comic has reached the point where there is literally nothing to say about updates. I feel like I'd much rather be discussing Johnny's proposed next arc than whatever is going to actually happen next.

It's true, isn't it?

There's no tension, the "reveal" didn't have any set-up or make any sense, and the art is bland. At the end of the week we all know Dominic will be no worse for wear and Snuggly won't actually be dead. Who cares what tomorrow's update brings? All that matters is the Monday & Friday strip.

[Lillith]

I find it funny how it seems like Mookie wants to reassure us that Dominic is okay. 'It's not as bad as it seems guys!'

I'm just thinking he's doing this like Prue from Charmed. Kinda.

[Wraith]

Insectoid creatures don't get enough love or respect in fantasy or science fiction, I feel.

Seriously, Mookie....? Bwuh?

Them!
The Chryssalids.
The Aliens.
The Prawns.
The 'Bugs'.
The Other 'Bugs'.
The OTHER Other Bugs.
The Antz.
The Fly.
The Rachni.
The Tyranids.
The Monsters.
The Transformers.
The Zerg.
The Slivers.
The Thri-Kreen.

About half of them are 'Good', and that's just off the top of my head.

[TheArsenal]

Wait a second...Where {Scrubbed} did the Destroyer emerge from? And where did the splosions go!

[Kiroth6]

Wait a second...Where {Scrubbed the post, scrub the quote.} did the Destroyer emerge from? And where did the splosions go!

Beyond the 4th wall?

[Coidzor]

Beyond the 4th wall?

Nah, if it was from Beyond the 4th Wall it would've committed seppuku or taken out more of the comic. It was probably from Just Past Thunderdome.

The Chryssalids.

*sobs* fire will keep me safe.... fire will keep me safe.... fire will keep me safe....

*rocks back and forth*

[Kizor]

Excuse me while I kit everybody out in flying suits and carpet-bomb the area with blaster launchers.

Then I flee because the bastards are still coming.

[Glass Mouse]

I like that we get the reassurance before we even see the badness.

[AgentofOdd]

Hmm, I'm thinking Dominic's new ball of scrying will break which will make Mr/Ms ... very .....

[Khosan]

Mission for a strip slay:

Do something with this.

Isn't that obvious? The whole world unfolds from the dream of the Dominus. All that is is just a vision by HIm, and so is HIs body. The mind envisions the body, the body envisions the mind.

*sobs* fire will keep me safe.... fire will keep me safe.... fire will keep me safe....

*rocks back and forth*

Why. Why must there be 3 of them. I spent all my explosives on the first one, and it's 3 civilian-zombie-chrissalid minions. Why must there be 2 others? I can't escape back to the Skyranger fast enough.
Why.
Why.

Easy enough:

He's an evil enchantress (Dance Puppets, DANCE!)
And he does evil dances (Michael Jackson Dominic)
And if you look into his eyes (See the Truth)
He'll put you in trances (Mavpel Dominic)
And what will he do? (Dominic thinking)
He'll mix up an evil brew (Dominic casting)
And gobble you in a big tasty stew (Hob-goblin cooking pot)
So.... watch out. (Evil dominic)

[ninja_penguin]

The Chryssalids.

*flicks grenade to 0*

*cries*

[Thanqol]

Wow. An offhand mention of one alien race seems to have traumatized the half of the thread that isn't high on ponies.

The obvious answer is more ponies!

Oh Mah Lawd

Chrissalid Ponies.
What Do We Do

[Rappy]

Nah, if it was from Beyond the 4th Wall it would've committed seppuku or taken out more of the comic. It was probably from Just Past Thunderdome.

Oh, come on, can't we just get beyond Thunderdome by now?

As for yesterday's comic, seeing as I was so zonked on antiviral medication I didn't get to comment on it...huh?

I'm fairly sure that using astral projection doesn't mean your body is, in kind, a "physical projection". Then again, we don't know much about how magic works in Cloudcuckooland Dominion.

[Trazoi]

Great. Someone broke the forum again.
Also: Sneaky Gate!
Future Link.

Looks like Dominic survived the Great Glub, and someone owes me a picture of Rainbow Dash.

[Castel]

Le gasp! I can almost care for this!

The more cynical part of me is setting up the countdown until The Dominus is healed, though...

What's the definition of "lasting"? Knowing Mookie, this consequence probably won't last more than one (two, tops) strip.

[mwchase]

I wonder what sound effect is appropriate for that. I'm going to go with

MOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
