470 | One Last Request

If you have a dark monitor and can’t make out the writing on the wall, it says “SHIP DANGEROUS. DESTROY”.

(Just so you know, I’m calling you all Zaplings from now on. I cannot be dissuaded. I have made my decision.)

Also: This page is a bummer.

Also Also: Robot’s panels can light up!

Also Also Also: Art fans, don’t miss this is not a princess.

Also Also Also Also: Thanks for reading so many alsos. You’re so great!

    Ah, maybe pinky is a psycho.

    Nice shadow details.

  • markhamcarroll

    Also Also Also Also Also: Robot casts a shadow with his own light panels?

  • Tresk

    I think he is lit from behind, Holy was able to cast a pretty good shadow last week..

  • Thatoneguy456

    Man, Robot has a big flashlight on his chest.

  • Drakonar

    this is getting better and better

  • Or maybe Robot is really good with shadow puppets?

  • I really like the lighting and shadows on this page. It is a little dark, but my other monitor can handle it … ;)

    Zaplings, huh? I wonder where that came from … ;D

    Don't forget to VOTE for Zap! on TWC, everyone! http://topwebcomics.com/vote/7784/default.aspx

  • The light is coming from the open door. Holly cast a similar shadow.

  • John

    The size/scale of the writing seems too big for fingernail scratches. I don't see a knife or sword anywhere (unless sneaky pirates are sneaky and keep them hidden in their clothes). I can barely see what looks like a gardening tool (like a spade or something) next to those papers. Hmmm….

    Of course, it is really fun and interesting to speculate what if Holly's dad was -not- the writer of the text on the wall after all….since that raises all kinds of other questions. =)

  • Adam850

    To me, it looks like he scraped off scum from the wall with his hands to make the letters.

  • Tintzone

    ZAPLINGS!! WOO!
    I'm now proud to call myself one. *pins badge on chest*

  • lurchgs

    lol – yer too small to be a 'ling. At best, you are a Zaplet! (Not to be confused with a Capulet)

  • poisyn

    CREEEEEEEEPPPPPPPPPPPPPPYYYYYYYYY
    Maybe I should stop reading this comic right before bed…. right with the trailers for up coming horror movies… >.<

  • Tintzone

    lol, probably ^^

  • bookbug87

    You know, if I were going to hope for writing on the wall, this would not be the message I would hope for.

  • Ghalail

    I am proud to bear the title of “Zapling”.

  • Just finished reading all of the comic (in one night!!) I totally want more. Bookmarking the site :)

    One night?
    Wow, I'm a fast reader and I too 2 nights.
    You must be awesome O.O

  • Welcome, Jessica! Thanks for reading!

  • bergandy_king

    I took my time with it and had a few days to read it all….. OK maybe I'm not as fast as all you nerds but i would like to say this is one of my most favorites of comics I have ever read. and i normally in to yuri but this one is done really really well, it always keeps you wondering and excited! love your comic Lepas, and i'm to proud to be a zapling :)

  • Welcome, Bergandy! Glad to have you!

  • Welcome!

    Don't get too discouraged by these people who say they read the whole archive in one or two nights.

    I'm a relatively fast reader myself, but it took me a couple of weeks to get through the archives. Why? Because I read each and every comment along the way (one of my little OCD quirks) and because between work and school I couldn't really devote more than an hour or three a day to an archive binge, no matter how much I wanted to devour it in one sitting …

    (And my preferred term is geek (or Zapling), not nerd, thankyouverymuch … )

    ;)

    P.S. Don't forget to VOTE! :)

  • bergandy_king

    Ok sorry zapling. i have school and work to so i don't get much time ether

  • OctoDude

    Psychos do not explode when sunlight hits them.  I don’t give a f#@& how crazy they are.

  • Page-Mistress

    I’m amazed no one has done this!

  • Damien Horton

    Robot looks like he just got back from a rave. :P

  • I shall bear my new title with pride!

  • Benji

    its poop…i checked

  • Nah. I believe the ship is perfectly safe, assuming you’re not someone it wants to hurt.

    Also, I’m not a “Zapling”.
    I am the cat who walks by himself, and all places are alike to me.

  • will we find out why it is that Holly’s dad has detailed knowledge of the ship?

  • TheBear

    This might be your comic and all, but if I know Robot, the real explanation is that he’s doing a hand puppet of himself in front of his own chest panel. (Most inappropriate timing ever)
    Methinks Robot is related to Bender from Futurama.

    Oh poop…
