[INSERT ENTIRE TIME TRAVEL STORYLINE FROM ORIGINAL UMLAUT HOUSE HERE]



((Oh, and you may want to reexamine your relative URLs. The Facts-Images-Opinions buttons work fine from the main page...but in the archives, there's a little /d/ inserted in there that magically transforms them into broken links.

Fortunately, the <i>images</i> aren't broken.

(See, Alfador remembers seeing this comic in pencils, where I had an arrow pointing to the space between panels a and k with the text "insert entire storyline here".)

The world keeps on getting
smaller and smaller
and everything comes back
full circle, full circle six
degrees of separation
we all know someone else
it all comes full circle

So far, Pierce and Rhonda have basically been a time-shifted, gender swapped version of Volair and Saundra. From here on out, their personalities should, hopefully, differentiate a bit. Friday's comic being a prime example ^.^

Oh, that was good.

Nice way to tie things together, as well as get an easy laugh.

im glad to see a re-running of the "and how old were you when i suddenly decided to paint the kitchen green?" joke... i think it was my single most favorite strip from the U1 series

Although I can't help noticing that the floating PDA-thingies as seen previously (See http://umlauthouse.keenspace.com/d/20030613.html for example) have now disappeared.

Okay, okay, okay.

I took out the triticles because they don't have them in the "new" continuity. Pierce's shades and Rhonda's hair design are non-plot discontinuities, so I didn't bother changing them. But the triticles could theoretically reappear if I put them in, so I left them out.

I left them out because Pierce and Rhonda both have more circuitry in their own heads than they'd have in a floating device of this kind.

There are...<i>spots</i>...in a few places where the triticles used to be.

And correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that a triticle-<i>like</i> device Volair appears in in the last panel?

Y'know, I gotta' start associating this comic and forum with something more innocent. My eyes have been trying to tell my brain that it's "tri" but I kept reading "tes" instead; it's just like that misread of Detail Bear's signature a couple years back.

Considering we're such completely innocent souls on this forum, I'm shocked at the implied accusation.

(Whistles innocently while fiddling with the nearby fire hydrant)

I guess just to point it out... UH time traveling Pierce was wearing cool shades. You can see them on the tip of his muzzle.

UH2 time traveling Pierce does not seem to have such facial acceseries.

*puts his toothPICK down and goes back to jsut enjoying the series, which he does emmensely. Thanks Allan!*

Yup. Also, Rhonda's ears look WAY different in the past. This is a temporal ripple that was unavoidable in linking the two comics, as with Pierce's shades.

The character redesign just changed things, and I gave up on modifying my comics too much more heavily since I didn't save them at full resolution. (Which does not bode well for a print run.)

It's an insinuation of impropriety, not an implied accusation. Besides, I'm not casting accusations at you, "you pore innocent flower, you."

Allan, would you really do a print run of the original strips?

I don't have the original 300-dpi scans of any of Umlaut House. This puts a significant damper on any plans for print I might have. The prints look.. BARELY adequate at newspaper strip size, which is awfully small.

I guess it really depends on demand, free time, and how in love with the idea of doing print comics I am.

And how much hard drive space you have!
