Because of a family illness, instead of regular comics, this week I'll be sharing some strips that I drew as part of a game I played with friends. Each comic had to be written and drawn in five minutes. -- Randall
----Comic #1----
[[A man and a woman stand facing each other.]]
Man: Jupiter will make its closest approach to Earth in decades.
[[The man points behind the woman, and the woman turns around.]]
Man: In fact, here it comes now!
[[Jupiter, about the size of the characters' heads, hovers into the frame at about head-height.]]
Jupiter: Hey, guys.
[[Jupiter continues to hover through the frame as the characters watch it go.]]
Jupiter: Anyone need a gravitational slingshot?
Woman: No, I'm good.
Jupiter: Aight.
----Comic #2----
[[A man sits on a box, playing a guitar.]]
Man: ...Now I don't blame him 'cause he ran and hid, -- but the meanest thing that he ever did -- was before he left, he went and named me "Trig."
----Comic #3----
[[A man looks down a well.]]
Man: Oh God, a little girl is trapped down this well!
[[The man runs off screen.]]
[[He returns, leading a pony.]]
Man: It's okay, we got you that pony you always wanted!
[[He tries to cram the pony down the well with the aid of a large stick.]]
Man: Get... in... there... -- Ugh!
----Comic #4----
[[A man and a woman stand in a server room.]]
Man: I like to get back to nature by coming out here to the server room. -- The warmth, the whirr of the drives, the drone of the fans, the howl of the wolves...
Woman: Wolves?
Man: Yeah, we started a reintroduction program.
----Comic #5----
[[A man stands by himself in the frame.]]
Man: Yo momma's so masculine that she... oh, wait, that's your dad. -- Is your mom the lady over by the door? Aww, she looks nice!
----Comic #6----
[[A man runs toward another man who is wearing a powdered wig, holding a gun in one hand, and a flute in the other. Behind him, someone is chasing him on a motorcycle.]]
Man: Bach, activate the magic flute and teleport us home! Wagner's right behind me on his Ring Cycle!

Warning: this comic occasionally contains strong language (which may be unsuitable for children), unusual humor (which may be unsuitable for adults), and advanced mathematics (which may be unsuitable for liberal-arts majors).
We did not invent the algorithm. The algorithm consistently finds Jesus. The algorithm killed Jeeves. The algorithm is banned in China. The algorithm is from Jersey. The algorithm constantly finds Jesus. This is not the algorithm. This is close.
