Fort Knox reminds me of all the webcomics that popped in the early 2000's. It's like Ctrl Alt Del but without horribly hosed characters, mostly because none of them have any character to them. It is, however, better than One Big Happy, Rose is Rose, Dustin, Intelligent loving Life....not that it is saying much comparatively but it's not offensive save to the eyes.

Mopsy, I'm starting to question your medical credentials.

If Jam gets to write Vargo RPF then I get to write the Mark Trail fix-it fic where he meets a yeti and all his choices are validated.

Unfortunately, I only know how to write one thing, so the yeti is going to turn out to be a shapeshifting hunk and they're going to fall in love.

It's like every single strip always has a new layer on how Lynn is a terrible mother.

What's weird to me is how Lynn chose to depict that Michael is growing up. In comics or cartoons, the parent usually notices their kid's growing up when they see how tall they've become, or when the kid starts to take interest in relationships. But Lynn specifically had Michael kiss his girlfriend in front of his dad like some sort of weird flex.

Well, I almost called it. The extreme close-up was on the 2nd panel rather than the last.

It's hilarious how Mark Trail just comes across as a tremendous rear end in a top hat throughout this story instead. He keeps being a snarky jackass to Dr. Vargo, he made that comment how he expected Nepal to be more technologically advanced than what Genie mentioned, he kept doubting Dr. Vargo's motivations despite the guy repeatedly saying that he's not trying to find the yeti for fame, and he just stood around in the cold rather than trying to find the guy buried under the avalanche.

Jams Eallen is such a whiny pissbaby, and he's totally not mad. :lol:


Not gonna lie, I really thought Dawn would run into that guy with the burn that gave her weird inspirational advice in the airport. It would at least have given a semblance of the entire thing being planned. I have no idea who this doofus is.

This strip does say a lot considering what we know about Lynn's family IRL and how the strip eventually turns into her wish-fulfillment fanfic...

So will the next part of the story be Mark finding some wildlife to talk about in his magazine article, or will he just teleport back home?

There's potential for some nice diversion into the flora and fauna that you CAN find in the Himalayan foothills, some exploration of the encroaching human presence, mountaineering waste and debris, the shrinking glaci-

Oh, he probably doesn't believe in that.

The book makes it clear that Jaana is angry because she is talking about the devil, but Valpuri thinks that she didn't want to hear Jesus mentioned. Then she tries to save the situation by making a cross out of sticks and stomping it. Jaana doesn't approve.

Also, they say how Jaana should use ingredients like dragon's blood and murdered children's fingers.

It's hilarious to me to watch all of these characters come in and be used as foils for jokes knowing that in three years they'll all be gone and replaced by the Milo/Binkley/Oliver Wendell Jones/Steve Dallas/Cutter John/Opus/Bill the Cat/Portnoy/Whatever-the-rabbit's-name-was cast that he'd stick with until he rebooted the strip.

yeah it's kinda weird to see little glimpses of future characters like oliver there for all of a couple panels when you know they're going to be around constantly later. thankfully he seems to get a good cast going without having to hold on to older characters and pretend they still matter like some zombie strips do, trotting out barely-recognized corpses because by god they exist still.
