Sunday was my birthday, and I had a lovely time out seeing “The Dark Crystal” on the big screen and then having dinner at a friend’s house afterwards. Hard to top that!

I’m guessing your dinner out was nothing like the Skeksis’ dinner scene.
Some of the Skeksis puppets were redressed and used in an episode of Farscape. http://farscape.wikia.com/wiki/Halosian
I love Wezzle.
I have to say this before I forget it: Do not taunt Jabby Fun Ball.
Now he’s just manipulating Mauricio…
Mauricio sure got that right hand re-attached in a hurry.
@Herandar: without a doubt. Wezzle is a master manipulator.
Why reattach when growing a new one is so easy? Sure it causes Mauricio pain, but that’s a mere side-effect.
Mauricio’s true deficiency: Sanity. Reread 02/14/2018 strip panel 4 and then 02/21/2018 last 4 panels.
Nicely done, Chris.
Hippo Birdy, Christopher!
“The Dark Crystal” has my favorite mis-remembered movie line. (Don’t correct me. I know it’s wrong. I like my version better.)
“It is the End. And the Beginning. They’re both the same, you know.”
And Wezzel? Take it from me: If Stockholm Syndrome will get you a date with the prom queen, then jag talar Svenska.
Typo in panel 4. taking/talking.
Thank you, @Midwestmutt! Will fix! 🙂
2021 here, typo still there, to Mauricio.
Haven’t seen The Dark Crystal. Looked it up and it looks like a must-see. And I saw this:
> In May 2017, it was announced that The Jim Henson Company in association with Netflix would produce a prequel series titled The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance. Shooting is scheduled to begin in the fall of 2017 with Louis Leterrier as director.
Oooh.

“Dark Crystal” didn’t get a tenth of the respect it deserved in theaters, but it’s become a favorite in later years, and was always a favorite of mine. A classic example of the creativity of Henson’s effects people in the days before CGI.
I was just thinking how Mauricio need some time alone with his right hand but a couple of tentacles is even better!
Yes, knew about the new Dark Crystal thing.
Loved the movie, have it in several forms, have named a Pom Fizzgigg, have practiced drawing little creatures from the film (with Froud’s blessing!), have many of the books!
