Irregular Webcomic! #1711 Me: Every year, people ask me if I'm doing anything special for 19 September: Talk Like a Pirate Day. Starting from around the beginning of September. / / Me: Of course, by that time I already have a buffer full of completed comics stretching right into October. So it's too late. / / Me: But all is not lost. Several weeks ahead of time, I present a strip specially made in celebration of another very special date. Please enjoy it. / / [[scene change: The planet Kashyyyk.]] / / Luke: [[to Chewbacca and Han]] Gosh, this has sure been a swell Christma... er, Life Day.

So there's some sort of dangerous wild animal loose on the plane?!
Irregular Webcomic! #1718 Me: The lampshade effect is a technique used in many forms of fiction to deflect attention from implausible or just plain bad writing. / / Me: If something unusual happens in a story, the audience tends to fixate on it, ruining their suspension of disbelief and enjoyment of the work. / / Me: The solution is to "hang a lampshade" on it - have a character point out how strange or unlikely it is. Once acknowledged in-character, the audience accepts it. / / Me: I'd now like to mention how spectacularly unfunny today's comic is.
Irregular Webcomic! #1719 Iki Piki: You can't take the organs from our future selves! You're condemning them to die a horrible death! / / Serron: So? That's their lookout. We need them more than they do. / / Iki Piki: They're us! / / Serron: We're us! / / [[beat]] / / Iki Piki: Now I know something is terribly wrong. You actually have a point there.

Irregular Webcomic! #1723 Mercutio: So it's all over. The Martian invasion is repulsed. / / Ophelia: In reality, yes. But what about the millions of people on the net who still believe it's true? / / Mercutio: I wouldn't worry about that. [[turns back to his computer]] / / [LiveJournal entry on screen]: Oh please... That Martian invasion meme is so last week. Let's get back to Photoshopping humorously captioned photos of cats into Star Wars scenes. I mean, what's really important here?

We get the picture. / / Draak: You should try bath too.
 
Irregular Webcomic! #1726 Iki Piki: [[walking down the street]] Well, we have no choice. Let's get to a hospital. / / Iki Piki: If we die, our future selves won't even have a chance of existing. / / Iki Piki: We don't want to generate some kind of causality paradox. / / Serron: You know, if it wasn't for the dying part, that could be really cool.
Irregular Webcomic! #1727 Ginny: What sort of sandwiches? / / Erwin: Some liverwurst, some emmental. / / Erwin: And then for dinner tonight there is a nice pasta restaurant on Via degli Uffici del Vicario. / / Ginny: Oh yes, I know the one.

Er... no, I identified it from the bite pattern!

It takes a particular sort of mind to revel in the moment of realisation of how amazingly stupid you've been for the past two days.
Irregular Webcomic! #1737 Alvissa: It's so good to see... um... It's nice to... er... I came across that Gollum creature. / / Alvissa: I killed it and took Lambert's ring back. / / Alvissa: Hey, where is Lambert? / / Kyros: Once again, those stunning elvish powers of observation.
