This is probably going to cause problems.

CRISIS ON INFINITE BUTTER DIMENSIONS!

Hey, Quincy has bits of Topato on him. Topato's poison, as established earlier, causes a state of paralysis resembling death in our world.

So is he going to be paralyzed or what?

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

TOPATO!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

Perhaps this is a fake Topato!?

Also, I am unable to resist my bad-pun reflex, and must pose the question: could those little yellow scraps be accurately referred to as Topato chips?

Such... conflicting... emotions... The Butter Dimension has lost an officer and a gentleman, yet Quincy Tinkle, Weedmaster P and the esteemed Mr. Rowland all yet live. Or to put it more succinctly, OMG WTF!

Topato's poison doesn't work in this universe.

There go the paychecks...

Jeff, you killed your cash cow. I hope you can still make a latte. Unless people really are willing to pay to watch you eat.

I think under the laws of Butter Dimension Quad, Jeff must become the new Topato.

Since when is Topato hollow?

Just to add to the question on everyone's mind: Topato's hollow? That's brilliant! If for no other reason than it totally messed with my head.

Actually, this isn't the first time Topato died. He was killed by bullet fire before and was ressurected... I forgot how...

I hope princess Dongle issues interdimentional design competition for Topato's grave stone. I mean memorial. Wait she may come 'round to avenge him. And die in some earthly accident. A reality check for example. Or OD. Wait, perhaps you don't have to have more deaths, perhaps someone on wigu can give birth to someone. Like Annaba has a child with Topato. But Annaba is now played by a different fruit because everything is soap-operish now.

if we follow the story, topato is watching all this on his TV, so he can't really be dead

1/6/05 20:40

Clearly the wisp of smoke coming out of Topato's empty skull is his soul, or whatever would pass for his soul, heading back to BD^4.

I think the real question is, now that Topato exists on the Earthly plane as a dead body, can he return alive, with a new one? I say thee nay.

no, this cannot be just a show, becuase they said it was a reality tv show

WOO! About time someone shot that little yellow bastard!

Blatherard Osmo said...

I like how this comic reflects the theme of death that is present throughout Jeff's work. That's great keen.

On a lighter note, I was just reading That Yellow Bastard. Frank Miller is a funny guy.

You son of a bitch!

A certain Mr. Pony's mane of RAGE better sprout and he kills the Tinkles and YOU in revenge!

Topato has "died" more than once, and in both dimensions. Like when he got shot and turned into a zombie, or when he melted himself in a lava bath for some reason.

Maybe he's a highlander.

1/6/05 22:36  
high_rarr said...

Maybe he's in the land of the dead now talking to Pope. Jeff dont try to go there to get him back, his poison may be still effective down there.

I am so going to this comic's meta-text in my wedding vows.

Doctor Sinister said...

It's possibly just his battle gland. Or are we finally free of the tyranny of Topato's niftiness?

Megan said...

I think everyone is missing the most important thing here. And that is of course that Topato looks absolutely adorable dressed up like a tiny yellow Don Corleone.

Christopher said...

I have a question about the last panel:

Does Topato's shirt have a hole in the bottom, or is it like a little sack?

UM, ACTUALLY, THIS WOULD BE A RATHER UNIQUE AND SHOCKING WAY TO END THE COMIC -- EXCEPT FOR THE FACT WHICH I AM SURE YOU ARE AWARE OF MR. ROWLAND THAT NO ONE EVER STAYS DEAD IN THE COMIC UNIVERSES (SANS BUCKY AND THE STACEYS OCCURING IN THE AVENGERS AND SPIDERMAN RESPECTIVELY) ESPECIALLY IN CROSS OVERS *snort snort snort*

What about what the Pony person was speaking about. Murder of another from another dimension has not yet been done. The results are UNKNOWN! Maybe this will result in Topato being pregnant! Oh what hilarious hijinks would ensue!

(The father would be the pistol. Topato's son will be a son of a gun!)

Jeff totally murderated the Topato. That's so awesome. He gets a cookie. #insert cookie#

So what number dimension is Reality Dimension in which Wigu lives? Do we have to move on to that one, or is that quantity of nothing there a threat to all dimensions? :o

Ben German said...

Ah, a black hole has opened....we should have seen the foreshadowing in the comment about the two things Quincy fears. I want Topato to come back to life and kick the living hell out of it...he's the only one who could.

This is clearly due to cosmic imbalance. My suggestion is to bring the universe into a Pep Boys and see what they can do about celestial alignment.

sometimes i think the comments are better than the comic... and then i realize, no, the comic has pictures. and also: DANG!

i would have found killing my old boss agreeable on more than one occasion. and without the universe crumbling on itself, even

this storyline is radical despite having to traverse between two websites to follow it. but it's cool because i think i was on my way here anyway

He shot Topato! But he didn't shoot (the deputy) Sheriff Pony.

kempter: "Topato's poison doesn't work in this universe."

Yes, it does. It just doesn't cause death. Topato has poisoned people in this universe three times so far: the monkey twice (once during the Tinkles' road trip, and once when he and the pig and the dog were trying to kill everyone) and Wigu once (when the Googel Maverick burned on re-entry after being chased by the Hugotti Diablo).

Quincy is in love with Baby! What a revelation. Will Wigu now be the child of a broken family?

Quincy is too much of a man to be affected by poison.

Topato's been . . . mashed.

In the words of POGO: "Someone asides me is gonna rue this here partickular day."



Now, if Topato is hollow, but Weedmaster P is solid inside, what dimension are WE living in? Hmmm?

Wait a minute, is Topato wearing tighty whities?

Topato...nooooooooooooo!!!! And Quincy won't be paralyzed...Topato's poison is ineffectual on earth humans. That's what the comics said. I think.

Dude I totally thought that Topato's poison worked on this dimension! What UP?
