My apologies for this strip to Art Bell and anyone else in the immediate vicinity… (In this case, “immediate vicinity” meaning: Brick throwing range)…
It may be of little interest to anyone, but I had initially planned to go from the preceding strip, directly to the one which will follow this one, with no intervening strip in the middle… Then while I was workin’ on the things, it occurred to me that it would be fun for us and Bunz to hear a portion of the show… And as it happens, in past years, I’d typed out a couple of pastiches of the old Art Bell show… Hence it was only a matter of digging these out of the archives, shaking off a few digital cobwebs and scanning through them for useful material — The bit we hear here, was actually just one part of a rather longer piece involving several callers discussing things like Bigfoot stealing the TV remote and Nessie in their back yard pool and such… But there was no room for all of that, plus I didn’t think many readers would want a whole series of these strips – though some of the bits were probably funnier than this one, but they didn’t involve Gray Aliens… So um… this is what we went with…
Kinda sounds like the infamous Pascagoula, Mississippi case of alien abduction. Two rednecks out fishing at night on a pier on the Pascagoula river claimed to have been abducted and “probed” by a UFO. Caused quite a stir at the time. However, unlike the case cited above, the aliens brought these two back.

Not bad…but, with this guy in the classic alien mold, do Bunz and Katz have a new employee / friend / minion?
Um… you’ll probably need to wait until the next page for an answer to that question…
Maybe he’ll just be…delicious.
Eh… once you get through cleaning one, there’s hardly anything left…
Didn’t think they had bones…
Josh how about a flashback to a time circa when Bunz and Katz got their marching orders? What was day to day life like aboard the Mother ship?
I can get that one. Day 1,094,873,297 I’m in a tube. Day 1,094,873,298 I’m in a tube. Day 1,094,873,299 I’m in a tube. It’s cold. Day 1,094,873,300…
Yep, you got that…
Attached is an early idea sketch which may or may not pertain to the question…
Looks like Bunz was a BEM before she was a babe.
59 Packard! I laughed!
