Our Story Thus Far
Wednesday, October 18th, 2006What has already transpired in the immortal tale “Sock-Suckers from the Void”? Glad you asked. Over at Livergut Labs, Dr. Livergut and his assistant Crouton are filming a demonstration of an exciting new invention — a sock replicator that reaches across time and space to retrieve missing socks! But an eldritch force reaches through the device and abducts the two scientists! Crouton manages to make a panicked phone call to Fission Chicken (who is at the superhero shop with Normannu, the Gnostic Gnu) before disappearing. Our two heroes arrive at the lab, and surmising what has happened, enter the unknown to rescue Livergut and Crouton!
They arrive in a strange world, millennia in the past, to find L and C held captive by the bizarre lord Mumbii — who has captured them for interfering with his production of plasma-slaves! (The socks are a crucial element.) Being an overbearingly formal type, Mumbii prohibits Fish and Norm to leave with the scientists… and backs up his interdiction by summoning his fearsome god, Poh’kii! A battle begins…
And that’s where things stood. You can start at the beginning here.
New page next Wednesday! And some more random stuff in between!

One of these days you should do the recap with nothing but sound effects.

Norman’s PURPLE?
Now see, I never would have figured that.

Huh?? No, Norman is blue! Not blue as in depressed, but blue. (Though here he does have a grape-like tone… maybe it’s all the red and orange in the background.)

Well, seriously, I see blue on Fission’s chest, and blue on some of the socks, but Norman’s, er, I wouldn’t say “grape”, except that IS kinda the color used to denote cartoon characters flogging grape-flavored drinks. As I recall, that is.
I think “violet” is closer to accurate.
He’s a rare flower, that one…
