Re: 1190: "Things that are on my side for 600, Alex!"
Did I see someone had started a new thread just to discuss our religion? Now I can't find the link .... There was at least one other new side-thread too? It's sooo hard to skim back through the pages when the whole thing just keeps getting longer and longer!

The ones she shot, he'd mostly built. So that means so far, they agree with you. We'll see if he takes out hers, on the left. But, honestly, I'd trebuchet down my own sandcastles. Because ... trebuchet.

Step 1. Become delirious.
Step 2. Sleep.
Step 3. Wake up, 16 newpix later.
Step 4. Check thread. 25 pages to read.
Step 5. Realize that it'll take ~6 newpix just to get caught up.
Step 6. Notice a new newpix-to-pages ratio that's handily squared: np/P=4²:5²
Step 7: Check the gif... TREBUCHET! Awesome!
Step 8: Check the wiki: apparently can/tin was just the tip of the iceberg.
Step 9: Notice that, in the forums, the name of the comic has been changed to someting from Jeopardy.
Step 10: Break decorum. Decide that these thoughts must go into comment form immediately, before reading the 5²P.

What is she firing? That was pretty careless of her to fire it so near to him. Trebuchets aren't all that accurate. And the fact that he just stood there... Maybe they are firing tennis balls or something.

I feel like Megan helps Cueball let loose. She helps him here revel and celebrate the transitory nature of life. Nothing in this life is permanent. Plus, pain comes from attachment and to be able to destroy what one has created helps one let go of this material attachment.

IF it's supposed to loop, and loop at that point, I suspect that Cueball and/or Megan will finish the sand castles off with a Godzilla v. King Kong walk through them.
but only Time will tell...
and so we wait for it.

I can't keep with this tread, but, but! i will come back every few NP just to add more random posts.
Now i got reminded of a push up program called "the evil Russian" where you start by doing as many push ups as you can (that is your 100%) and then you do a fraction of that amount every 2 NP or so for the rest of the day (say 30%). and you keep doing that for a week, I have never try it but it seems that it would be easier to fit if there is a new image as a reward every time.

I like Megan's raised arms. She is getting a huge kick out of flinging the stone/ball. This must make Cueball happy as well.
I like this frame a lot. It shows the most emotion out of them all.

I actually think it works quite well as a metaphor for fighting cancer now. First she fought alone, but now he joins her to fight as well. (Not quite sure why it was Cueball that built the arches though) But, it's probably just "Trebuchet! Cool!, Let Me Try!"
