First toon    Previous toon    Next toon    Today's toon
Another master stroke of the metacartoonist's art, this episode combines the madcap tomfoolery of bygone days with the graphical sleight-of-hand that marks the more recent Toonbots; the discerning reader will of course relish this piquant mixture, much as the practiced gourmand might be amused at Cajun sauerkraut.

Note: storyline continues on 20041011. Note to self: write linking system.
