The name's Tagon. Kaff Tagon.
« on: February 02, 2010, 05:31:54 AM »
Is it me, or is Tagon channeling Bond? The formalwear, the consorting with married women, the jumping off balconies...

Kudos to Howard for using the lack of magic carbonan to ramp up the tension on something not involving bullets. Tagon jumping around the inside of a rotating space station—the dude's nuts. Remember how Schlock got smeared upon landing in Credomar?

If I were a betting man, I'd bet that the perp he's chasing isn't a thief or anything sinister. Betcha he's just a punk kid running some crazy centrifugal zero-gee parkour.

Yeah! I was thinking of the people who climb skyscrapers (and sometimes get arrested) or skydive in cities (and again, get arrested). Probably a rite of passage -- drop through the mall during shopping hours and join the gang...

Heh.  I wonder if taunting passerby's or getting chased is part of the right of passage.

Bonus points, definitely bonus points. Although if you get caught, that's not good...

But did he visit with Q beforehand so that he has the right gadgets?

Judging by today's comic, um, no he did not.

It does happen occasionally. At least once a decade. ;D

Well, sorta.  I mean, they did have to break seveal laws in order to try to make their little video.    This is a case of someone doing something illegal that's not deeply immoral.  It's not really surprising that they and the toughs get along after the fact!

Well whatdoya know... you were right!
