Start your holiday shopping early and light up some body's mind with one or more of these titles.

The Transcript For This Page

Panel 1
Elevated two-shot of the brothers. Bert has his hands on hips in an expression of mild exasperation. Ernie's stance expresses excitement.
 
Bert: Shoot you to Dactyl with the Mass Driver.
 
Ernie: Yeah! I can fit inside the coils.
 
 
Panel 2
Bert waxes professorial again. Make panel large enough to include all the dialog and Ernie.
Bert: One, the delta-V needed to launch you all the way would crush you.
Bert: Two, your center of gravity would probably change under acceleration, which would throw you off course, even if it were possible to plot a trajectory.
Bert: Three ...
Ernie: I can compute the trajectory.
 
Panel 3
Another two-shot of the brothers, face to face.
Bert: Cannot!
Ernie: Can so!
Ernie: Listen, Bert, my ock and optical enhancements can measure all parameters and give us a ballistic solution, no sweat.
 
Panel 4
Medium close-up on Bert, plowing on.
 
Bert: Three, how are you going to stop at the other end?
 
Panel 5
Medium close-up on Ernie.
 
Ernie: Very rapidly, I guess.
 
Ernie: If I live through the initial impact, the autodoc on board the ship could probably fix me up.
 
 
Panel 6
Two-shot of the Brothers focusing on Bert, who has his hands on his hips again in that exasperated pose.
                       
Bert: So you crawl your shattered body – that's assuming you don't just fly right past Dactyl – so you crawl to our ship, beat up the bad guys and jump in the doc.
 
Bert: Is that your idea? Great plan, Ernie.
 
Panel 7
Medium shot of Ernie, hands on his hips with shoulders back  in a pose more of defiance, his face looking completely serious.
 
Ernie: Dammit, Bert, it's the best play we have.
 
Ernie: So have you got a better plan?
