Irregular Webcomic! #991 Lambert: This reminds me of when my unce Bilbert was charged with treason by his village. They sentenced him to the worst punishment possible. / / Lambert: Threw him in a locked dungeon cell with no food. Execution by starvation! And him well past his 100th birthday! / / Lambert: They should have treated him better. But he lasted a full week until they finally pardoned and released him. / / Mordekai: Wow... that's amazing for such an aged man. / Lambert: Not really. Old hobbits die hard.
Irregular Webcomic! #992 Spanners: So the cyberspace program saved a full mindscan of Paris at the instant she died? You know what this means? / / Iki Piki: We can bring her back to life! / Serron: She's not getting her cabin back! / / Iki Piki: It's interesting how a useful feature of their software they called an annoying bug. / / Spanners: Yeah, that's exactly the opposite of normal software engineering practice.
Irregular Webcomic! #993 Adam: What myth are we busting today, Jamie? / / Jamie: "Jumping the shark." This myth says that a popular series starts to go downhill when a character jumps over a shark. / / Adam: And where are we going to find someone stupidly reckless enough to test that out? / / [[scene change: in a house]] / Steve: [[on the phone]] Over a shark, you say? Crikey! I'll do it!
Irregular Webcomic! #994 Julius: So Marcus, why did you travel all the way to Britannia anyway? / / Marcus: To visit my brother, and discuss the merchant business we run there. He has this idea for a new type of selling. He thinks it will revolutionise trade. / / Marcus: Instead of travelling to various markets we have a building and the buyers come to us. He wants to name it after us. / / Marcus: Marcus and Spencus. / Julius: It'll never catch on...
Irregular Webcomic! #995 Prof. Jones: [[walking through the open hotel room door]] Voilą! Dr Smith's room! Ooh, a mini-bar... / / Monty: Now if we can just find the orichalcum. Aha, there's a safe! / / Monty: [[examining the safe]] It's pretty flimsy. I can probably pry it open. / / Monty: I need a screwdriver. / Prof. Jones: [[by the mini-bar]] Well there's plenty of vodka, but unfortunately no orange juice.
 
Irregular Webcomic! #996 Nigerian Finance Minister: You'll have to write back to MasterCard and Visa and tell them that the Nigerian Finance Department can't help them. / / Nigerian Finance Bureaucrat: But... Finance Minister... / / Nigerian Finance Minister: Is there a problem? / / Nigerian Finance Bureaucrat: Can we send an e-mail to only two addresses?
Irregular Webcomic! #997 Mordekai: [[by the dungeons door]] I listen at the door. / / GM: You can hear a muffled voice. Make a Perception roll to make out the words. / / Mordekai: Eleven! Success by two! / / GM: It's Alvissa. She's saying, "Okay, and what if I don't pay the bail?"
Irregular Webcomic! #998 Terry: They want you to jump over a shark on a motorcycle?! / / Steve: Yeah! Beaut idea, isn't it? / / Terry: How is this even remotely related to crocodile wrangling? / / Steve: Crikey, Terry! Sharks are reptiles too!

Try using your head for once. / / Monty: [[opening wardrobe]] But it's empty! / / Prof. Jones: Yes, but try to use it anyway!
Irregular Webcomic! #1002 Shakespeare: [[by Ophelia's desk]] I found a clever thing on the net. The legendary Helen had a "face that launched a thousand ships", so a millihelen is a unit of beauty sufficient to launch one ship. / / Ophelia: Oh Will, that's so old. Everyone knows that. And it's silly too. / / Mercutio: [[walking up to join the conversation]] That's not the real problem with it though. / Ophelia: Oh, and what's that? / / Mercutio: You can't mix metric prefixes with Troy units like that.
Irregular Webcomic! #1003 Terry: Actually, Steve, sharks are cartilaginous fish. They have gills. They're not even remotely similar to reptiles. / / Steve: Crikey! But if one 'as me hand, and I shove me arm further down 'is throat, will 'e let go? / / Terry: Um... maybe... / / Steve: Close enough!
Irregular Webcomic! #1004 Lambert: We're in a prison cell? / Kyros: I'll blast our way out! / / Mordekai: You realise a fireball is 40 feet in diameter? This room is less than one eighth that volume.

Irregular Webcomic! #1005 Iki Piki: So how do we return Paris to life from the saved mindscan? / / Spanners: We just need a piece of her DNA to grow a clone and then load her mindscan into it. / / Spanners: That'll be dead easy to find. There'll be flakes of her skin all over the ship. / / Serron: [[appearing from off the bridge]] I'm back. I've put industrial nanocleanser into the ventilation system to destroy all traces of Paris. Dead body bits... ewww...
 
Irregular Webcomic! #1006 Monty: Damn, the orichalcum just isn't here in the room. She must have taken it with her. / / Monty: I thought I had it all worked out. / / Monty: [[in despair]] This is terrible. I... I just don't know what to do next. / / Prof. Jones: [[comfortingly]] It's all right, Junior. This is a woman's room. I know you've never got this far before.

Irregular Webcomic! #1010 [[scene: external shot of jet plane flying through a golden sunset-lit sky]] / Steve: Crikey! San Francisco, here we come! / / [[scene change: inside the plane]] / Terry: America is nice, but their legal system is a bit wacky. So many archaic laws on the books. / / Steve: Yeah. It's the only country with a specific law against walking an alligator without a leash. / / Terry: They only introduced that after our last visit, Steve.
 
Irregular Webcomic! #1011 Someone who doesn't even slightly resemble Me: Ah... time to escape the grind of making comics and watch some TV. / / Someone who doesn't even slightly resemble Me: [[turning on TV]] Ah, Bewitched.

Irregular Webcomic! #1014 Marcus: My brother Spencus and I are thinking of starting a package tour service for people travelling between the eastern and western provinces. / Julius: That can't be profitable!

Irregular Webcomic! #1015 Iki Piki: So there's no way we can bring Paris back now? / / Spanners: No. The computer can run her personality, but we can only communicate with her in cyberspace. / / Spanners: We'd better go into virtual reality and let her know what's happening. / / [[scene change: suddenly the characters are in cyberspace]] / Serron: [[now a cyberspace avatar]] Oh sure. We just go in and say, "Sorry Paris, we lost your body and can't bring you back to life now." / Paris: [[behind him]] You what?!!
