    Agreeing with Brandi, I don’t think it’s a good idea to leave that machine, intact or not, in the realm of the demons. Therefore it follows, it has to come back. But if intact, bringing it back does away with the solution. So Bud crushed it.

    So far, I follow her logic …

    • fatuncle

      Actually, bringing back only HALF of it might have been a better idea …

    This strip just keeps getting better all the time.

    • fatuncle

      Doesn’t it, though? And the artwork has gone from middling fair to just outstanding, with a style I’ve not seen anywhere else.

    A man, a plan, a canal, Panama!

    A golem, a plan, a lump, mula nal Pameloga!

    Oh, never mind…

    • jordinyc

      aaaand now i’ve got Van Halen in my head. XD

    • gus3

      I think I’ll name my firstborn “Pameloga”.

  4. ziggy78eog

    So what does Bud plan a doing with her little lump anyway? Is she going to get all “arts and crafty” on us now?

  5. fairportfan

    Is there someone Bud really dislikes?

    Who lives within line-of-sight?

    • jwhouk

      That depends… is Marcus Schmooze out of prison after his disbarment?

    guess it really is the calender lump.
    im a little confuzzled tho.
    if the calender machine was such a horrible thing – why did trying to distroy it get may sent to the demon realm? or was that one of the machines defences (before it was squished)

    think i need to reread the archives or somethin…
    im still trying to work out where the little guy went off too.. he hasnt been around for yonks.

    • Paul Taylor

      That was one of the machine’s self made defenses. A byproduct of its workings.

    A lump that weighs how much? Surprised the floor isn’t creaking with Bud holding it.

    • Roland

      When moving, my laundry washer has been carried around across several different floors. None of them was damaged. Some of them creaked a bit, but they were/are creaking even whithout you carrying anything. Having my laundromat crunched into pebble-size would have made hauling a lot easier, though…

    • fairportfan

      That’s what i meant when i asked about the chair, yesterday, and asked today if there’s anyone Bud has reason to dislike who lives in line-of-sight…

  9. Pipi

    Like it or lump it?

    (Sorry, I couldn’t resist. I can’t believe the pun hasn’t been made already.)

  10. Ross

    Grammar nit: “its” vs. “it’s”.

  11. Llewellian

    And off to space it goes…. thats one homerun throw upcoming…

    • stjen

      Yeah — that would be the one good place for it — throw it so it hits Earth escape velocity on a path towards the sun. I like it.

  12. NOTDilbert

    DON’T HEAT IT! As it gets hot it will soften and become plastic (adverb, not noun) and MIGHT be able to unfold itself. And iron out it’s own creases. And then, it’s a clock on a mission – of REVENGE!

    Or, it might just melt.

    • Wolf

      Meep! Shades of Christine… oh Lordy, how I needed THAT image!

  13. kingklash

    Bringing it back is a good idea. Imagine what kind of mega-gnarly bad vibes and eldritch energies it may have either generated or soaked up during the time loops (Time Loops! Part of this temporal breakfast!) and what might be done if the Demons figured it out.

    Now I’m getting Robin Williams’ voice in my head: PHENOMINAL COSMIC POWERS….. itty-bitty living space.

    Just read through the archives again. Things make SO much more sense the second time through. :)

    • jwhouk

      And they make even MORE sense the third time through.

      And the fourth, and the fifth, and the sixth, and the…

      • DeadlyDad

        I’ve noticed the same thing. It’s like re-re-re-reading a Terry Pratchett novel; you tend to spend a lot of time going “I see what you did there…”
