Panel 1: Mike, Lisa, and Chloe and Bink all sit at their laptops, engrossed. They’re probably playing the new World of Warcraft expansion, Cataclysm. The room is dark and the lighting from the laptop screens is strong.
Panel 2: Mike, Lisa, Chloe, and Bink start to get sucked into the monitors.
Panel 3: They’re completely sucked in and gone now, except for a speck of color on the bright screens.
Based off of the alt-text they got “troned”. Which is to say they are now in the Tron world and will likely have to fight their way out using frisbees.
Basically…as it happened to me in not quite the same manner but in the similar spirit. The cats…and our dear beloved protagonists..have been sucked into Cata.
Hmm, this might just me me nitpicking on a very awesome comic, but does the mouse also disappear with the cats, while Lisa and Mike leave theirs behind?
I’ve worked on entirely too many buggy programs, lost entirely too much work due to having to reboot, to want to “go into” my computer. If you don’t make it into the non-volatile memory before the system goes down, you’re so hosed…
I found this comic about a week ago and just finished reading through the archive. I really like the comic, especially the cats (I want a shirt with Chloe and Bink).
Wait…. what just happened?

LOL Never heard it put like that, but it’s a fairly good description. Tron-world frisbees apparently have pretty sharp edges.
I’m holding out for the Singing Sunflower to play a part. Of course, too much of that, and you have to start taking LSD to counteract the symptoms….

I call dibs on their stereo

Of course what kind of cat leaves behind a mouse?
Hah! Good catch, Bainoth. I was gonna fix it, but now I don’t want to because of Tim’s comment.
Frankly? Every cat I know. At least _parts_ of it.
i call the computers (for the simple reason that my brother has been hogging the only comp. in the house that can play wow right now)
Today’s comic: yep, pretty much.
TRON!!! (sorry- excitement contained now)
lol there like blobs when they go into the computer

im sorry, but is it just me, or does that new tron girl look hella hot?
TRON TRON TRON TRON…haha, the line I stood in for Cata pretended to be waiting for Tron and we’d all start chanting TRON TRON.
