But after reading the title and seeing the last panel again, all I can think of is the opening scene to the Blues Brothers where they launch the Bluesmobile over the bridge.
OK, the fact that both the Scoobies and DE are in the same universe (again) bolsters the idea that you can only go somewhere you’ve already been…which is why Sabino’s idea, while practical, fails unless someone in that car happened to be in a bank vault with tons of money already before LOL
Yea, it seemed like that at first. However, didn’t they discovered the ability to teleport anywhere (well, almost anywhere) as long as they concentrated hard enough?
Which is how they ended up in NakedFuckWorld with no likelihood of returning LOL
…unless DE and the Nega-Scoobies decide to nuke that universe next LOLOLOL
It does seem to work, but it is way unstable unless everyone calmly concentrates, which is why Billie’s “safe (sex)” thought during the melee with DE and the Nega-Scoobies, much like Ray’s random thought of the Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man caused Gozer to create the destructor in that image, brought us to N(S)FW 😉
I’m sure Lord BaileyMort has it all figured out, but damn to hell if he’s about to tell US 🙂
The Gozer analogy is about right… portaging randomly is a monkey’s paw.
They can go to the future, but future worlds are very hard to find… as are worlds in the past. But they have the trick where they can concentrate around Charlie and go to specific things, but since all they are aware of is the past, concentrating on a future they’ve never seen is currently impossible.
They can go back to Naked Planet, because Charlie’s seen it, provided Prime is about.
As for a bank vault, they have a policy not to steal unless it is confiscated from Charlies who have stolen (they talk about it on the plane), so they wouldn’t just rob a bank. DE would.
Well, re: bankrobbing, they did say that, but as a grindcore band I love titled their debut album, Extreme Conditions Demand Extreme Responses LOL
As for being able to go back to N(S)FW, the mechanics are there, yes, but…why would you? (vise-gripping my masculinity card LOL) It was reached by sheer dumb luck conflated with Billie’s ‘safe sex’ thought, but because of the (assumed) semantics of that world, I can’t really see what purpose it would serve, since it would seem there was no Mrs. Arntzen’s apartment to find that universe’s Charlie’s iRock…though as your redundant statement below shows, you already know the truth about what we’re asking about, but you’ll expose it in story…someday LOL
Naked world is indeed a fluke and a random. I don’t want to spoil the comic and be all like “They’re never going back!” because I don’t know. It may fit in. There are already a few references to it later for specific reasons.
As for the properties of the stone, that’s for the future. 🙂
I’ve thought of a way the team could make some money: hustling pool. The Cura Te Ipsum Pool Hustling Squad would be made up of Hank, Nerd, and Charlene. Hank because he’s Lucky, Nerd because he’s got a scientific mind to calculate the best angles, and Charlene because she’s the most badass.
LOL, thanks. Although thinking on this more, I think Leo would probably put a stop to the Pool Hustling Squad, arguing that it detracts from the mission. Instead, he’d probably delegate income-generating activities to the B-team, so we’d end up seeing random Charlies busking, starting lemonade stands, and selling their plasma.
…Apparently I have the aptitude to create really cracked-out fanfiction, if I so desire…
I bestow upon Lord BaileyMort the “Dispatch from the Department of Redundancy Department” Emeritus, based upon this statement here 🙂
Didn’t you say something about a ‘monkey’s paw’, boss? 😉 As easily as I could imagine a world with no disease, as to how far in the future I’d guess though is a tossup, and why I said NOPE 🙂
Wait. If their cash/bank account is in the anchor universe, how did they pay for that private jet way back in #82? Did I just discover a plot hole? Do I get a prize?
The private jet was paid for with one of the money orders each team keeps on hand. The assumption was, they’d take enough for a few saves, then come back for more. Once the Anchor Universe went, so dId the money orders, so if they went to a doc they’d have to pass a bum check, which might work for a few hours, but not a full hospital stay. Their need for cash will factor heavily in Year 2.
I know this is a serious page and all…

Teleport into a bank vault. 🙂
I love the panel layout on this page. I looks very dynamic, like a split-screen used on an action show.
Thanks Kate. One of my favorite page too. 🙂
The angled panels really add to the sensation of movement on the page.

Quite, apparently LOL
Portal into the future to get a cure for his cancer?
Simply put, NOPE 😉
I won’t rule anything out of the story yet. It’s still a potentiality, certainly. I know the truth, but I can’t tell.
