A Second Chance Began On: April 21st, 2003 Synopsis: Fresh out of ideas and lacking talent, The Management has no choice but to reinstate an old "favourite" of theirs to placate desperate readers... Factoid: Turing's Folly II beat out a wide variety of competitors to be screened, including magical alien rock star bishonen in giant robots, situational comedies drawing from literary work, and dystopian post-apocalyptic zombie fantasy. Its main advantage was that it did not require the use of actual artwork or even necessarily writing, unlike the other franchises. |
Plotholes Began On: May 23rd, 2003 Synopsis: The gang learns the hard way that the fabric of the space-time continuum is not an indoor toy when a few innocent (and not so innocent) forays into mysterious "plotholes" almost result in the permanent loss of the entire cast. Factoid: Plotholes are dangerous and should not be observed except with proper precautions. Please, leave messing in God's domain to trained professionals like ourselves. |
The Containment Of The Fish Formerly Known As King Phil Began On: April 21st, 2003 Synopsis: Efforts to keep Mephishto from causing any more destruction prove to be short-lived as treachery releases the dreaded demon fish! Factoid: There really is a song called "Urban Spaceman" and it really does involve a twist at the end. This particular twist, ironically enough, involved the nonexistence of the subject. |
Captain Galaxy! Began On: August 24th, 2003 Synopsis: An agonizingly drawn-out and delay ridden, yet inexplicably action-packed and tense thriller where Phil is revealed to be the world-famous superhero, Captain Galaxy! Oh boy. Factoid: To date, impassioned attempts at marketing Captain Galaxy and Booster Squad merchandise on Those Responsible's part have yielded a princely profit of $0.00. |
Quest For Funney Began On: June 4th 2004 Synopsis: A man's gotta do what a man's judgment tells him circumstances require. Occasionally, Phil and Twobyeightinchflame Man feel the same. Factoid: This section of TFII contains what may well be the worst pun of all time, let alone the anticlimax. |
Loaded For Bear Began On: January 10th, 2005 Synopsis: Barky hangs about up north to find himself. Mephishto and Brigadier Icthys hang about up north to find a bear. It's anyone's guess whose fate will be more grizzly. Factoid: Those Responsible cannot guarantee that any pair of underpants, no matter how ancient, extraterrestrial or magical, will confer paranormal abilities upon their wearer. With the possible exception of preternatural social impairment if the underpants are unlaundered. |
Ontario Xerxes & The Horror Beneath The Linoleum Began On: April 3rd, 2005 Synopsis: An innocent search for some snacky goodness devolves into a perilous underground exploration culminating with an encounter with eldritch forces Man Was Not Meant To Know - Oh, and some guy called Great Cl'Sheid'D also. Factoid: This particular story arc saw a close during The Big Two-Oh-Oh! - A special 10-to-11-part megastrip spectacular that ran concurrently with a special contest with actual prizes. In spite of a generous extension of deadline, no entries were received. |
The Art Of Uncivil War Began On: September 21st, 2005 Synopsis: The bosom companionship twixt Twobyeightinchflame Man and Phil is almost rent in twain when they find themselves on opposite sides of that most unbridgable of gulfs - Incompatible selections vis-a-vis favourite comic strips. Factoid: As a cunning comedy nudge, the comics enjoyed by the protagonists were drawn by hand. It goes without saying that Those Responsible were completely unprepared for the processes and techniques that would be required to make this a workable one-shot gimmick, let alone a viable long-term strategy. |
