Suggested wine pairing: cucumber margarita.
Welcome to the
MOUNTAIN TIME HURLY BURLY!
This is the third chapter in the ongoing Mountain Time Saga (the first two being the Mountain Time 500 Happening and the 2016 Series), and it’s the biggest one yet.
To kick it off, I’m putting up four episodes this week, Monday through Thursday. As you might have already noticed, the art style is going to vary a bit (since I started this so long ago), and the traditional four-row format will be like the 1996 sitcom Homeboys in Outer Space—not seen much.
Enjoy this Hurly Burly, and prepare yourself for a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying Mountain Time.
Clicked the random comic button, was serendipitously transported to the one with Dr. Dee Mented’s “plutonium photoshoot”. Still an all-time Mountain Time great :D
Are you hyped? I’m hyped. Perhaps even state-quarter-marinara sauce levels of hype.
This reminds me of the good old days when it was commonplace to stick up child theaters. Those were the times.
NAR: What are the odds? (1 in 1122, I suppose.)
Nahtmmm: It’s 50-cent-piece remoulade for me.
Bearlover: Be the change, man. Be the change.
Then what are the little parachute man toys made of? I feel ripped off.
IT’S HERE WOO
And we start with Dr. Dee Mented and, uh, the other one. (I don’t remember their names. You should probably add them to the character page.) And they’re still looking for plutonium. Possibly to have margaritas with.
As far as I’m aware this is the first indication we’ve had (other than maybe common sense, but this is Mountain Time, so who knows) that the strip where one of them took off a human suit and became a flute-playing antelope or something like that (man this comic is weird) wasn’t canon. Or does this happen before that?
It was nice of those scientists to give Pluto the Dog his own element alongside more important guys like Rick Uranus.
Eyy this is gonna be great! You know what though, HBiOS was actually pretty good. Naming the chatty computer ‘Loquacia’ was .. that’s a joke above their pay grade.
Snek: Cheap fissile materials produced in Taiwan, I’d bet.
Circle: The sidekick is Mary Chaos. Good call that they belong on the character page. I’ve gotta redo that page anyway, probably tomorrow night.
And no, the little arc with the human suit wasn’t canon—I mean, Chimneyfoot is wearing YELLOW at one point in that. Yellow! He would never.

…Was that strip part of 2016?
Cold: I’m happy for Rick Uranus, but I can’t believe they named Berkelium after the chick from Showgirls.
HBiOS… I’m guessing it means How Big is (an) Olympic Sized (pool)?
Circle: Yeah, I guess the strip I linked was. But that was Chim’s hallucination from drinking enlightenment juice. The part where she was a deer came before 2016. So either the non-canon deer strips worked their way into the hallucination, or Chim was enlightened to true events that were otherwise erased from time.
Clearly it means Horse Butter in Ontario (Southeast)
Oh yeah. I forgot.
