Strip 255 -- First Seen: 2009-09-04
Escape From Terra is updated with new pages every Monday through Friday.
Kickstarter Success!
The Not-Safe-Space 2 Kickstarter Campaign has ended successfully. Thanks to all who pledged!
Now we get to wait 2 weeks while Kickstarter transmits the funds, and Scott can order the books, and send surveys to backers to get current e-mail addresses for the .PDF versions and mailing addresses for the physical books.
All of this should show up in June.
The Transcript For This Page
Panel 1
Still at the elevator terminal. Final bit if speechifying by Tobi. Here he's looking serious.
Tobi: You know who I really would like to be?
Tobi (2): My all-time favorite personal hero, Norman Borlaug.
Panel 2
Close two-shot of Bert and Ernie.
Bert and Ernie in unison: Who?
Panel 3
Focus on Tobi, with the others gathered around him.
Tobi: Who was the Cambodian leader who murdered over a quarter of his countrymen?
Everyone else in unison: Pol Pot!
Panel 4
Switch angles, now Tobi's back to us and we can see everyone else facing him.
Tobi: And what two 'world leaders' shared the distinction of having murdered their own countrymen somewhere in the eight-figure range?
Everyone else in unison: Stalin, Mao!
Panel 5
Medium close-up on Tobi, holding up a professorial finger.
Tobi: So you know these monsters who spilled an ocean of blood, but you don't have a clue about the hero who was the Green Revolution.
Tobi: The man who saved the lives of over a billion fellow human beings.
Panel 6
Group shot, put Ernie on the left and Tobi on the right.
Ernie: Uh, I'm guessing 'Norman Borlaug?'
Tobi: You should look him up in the Tanglepedia. It's inspiring.
Panel 7
Final group shot, focus on Tobi. Where we can see the faces of the others, they're smiling.
Tobi: He's my hero, but also my rival. I want to kick Borlaug's ass.
Tobi: I want to be the man who saved ten billion lives.
