The opposite of love is not hate, it’s indifference. The opposite of art is
not ugliness, it’s indifference. The opposite of faith is not heresy, it’s
indifference. And the opposite of life is not death, it’s indifference.

All right, I’ll admit it.  I have a little bit of ‘Rule of Cool’ going on here.  The end of the chapter is approaching, and I could spend more time laying the ground work for Dahnai’s escape.  But since we have a ticking clock going on, I think the pacing works better if we get straight to the NARWHAL SURFING AWAY FROM A NUCLEAR EXPLOSION and drop the exposition afterwards. Don’t you?  🙂

    My new favourite way of escaping a nuclear explosion

  2. Ryan says:

    Looks like you’ve one-upped the exploding horses scenario.

  3. Remus Shepherd says:

    An explosion like that would take a whole lot of horses.

  4. NJB says:

    I wasn’t aware that narwhals made effective radiation shielding.

  5. Zarpaulus says:

    Lots of blubber.

    Wonder where she’s headed, the Arctic Circle?

  6. DanielLC says:

    Shouldn’t the tusk be further to the left?

  7. Ming the Merciless says:

    “Shielding”? why? they’re already at a safe distance…Nuke’s powers are not unlimited.

    And for nuking all whales, the new potentate with a wig would need thousands of warheads.

    Since whales are protected, they proliferate and the seas are lousy with them.

  8. Ming the Merciless says:

    The tusks are canines…Narwhals often have two and are the only threats to Orcas.

  9. Remus Shepherd says:

    “And for nuking all whales, the new potentate with a wig would need thousands of warheads.”

    Or a zillion horses…

  10. --jt-- says:

    Whales gotta be _at_least_ as good as kitchen refridgerators.

  11. watching says:

    I love this comic, Where else can you find a story that has an Anthro dog escaping a nuclear explosion in a cybernetic narwhal?

  12. Moxie Man says:

    Ah, jt, is the narwhale lead lined like that refrigerator supposedly was? 🙂 I hope not, else, it’s not going to float/swim very well.

  13. --jt-- says:

    Hmmm….
    Forgot about the lead lining. Only saw the film once.

  14. Nynaeve says:

    Suddenly, Jedi of the Sea takes on new meaning, surfing on the wake of a nuclear explosion…thank you Weebls and thank you creator!

  15. Moxie Man says:

    jt: once here too. Once was painful enough.

  16. --jt-- says:

    “An explosion like that would take a whole lot of horses.”

    Naw. Just some fissilable material instead of C-4.

  17. --jt-- says:

    MM: XD

    If it’s midnight, he may be about to be baconed.
