sorry John we are jerks

we make a nice gradient

H-Hey guys! So we have internet again, that's cool. Actually, funny thing about that ... we got all hooked up, and everyone was really excited, and then 2 hours in, one by one, we all admitted that we had caught up on work e-mails and exhausted the entertainment value of the internet. We ended up doing other things like reading books and talking to each other, which I know sounds crazy, but please believe me when I say it is true. We also went to bed, which sounds even crazier and you don't have to believe me if you don't want to.

I think our ethnicities are mostly obvious, Yuko does a good job with that.

Ahaha, and to clear us of wrongdoing, John told us it was okay to put the last part in - he actually lives down the street from us, and comes over so often we gave him a key. He laughed! You gotta believe me!

So if John is Captain Planet, who's the unlucky sot who gets to be Ma-Ti?

(reply to this comment)

Conrad.

I get the feeling he'll love the free monkey that comes with the ring.

I have never been hurt by the internet more than I have been at this moment. ToT

(reply to this comment)

Come on man! Free monkey! You can like, order it to fling poo at people or something.

(reply to this comment)

Free monkeys for everybody!

(reply to this comment)

Then my job here is done. 8D

(reply to this comment)

YOU NEED TO ALL HAVE RINGS.

AND YOU NEED TO SUMMON *~CAPTAIN PLANET~*

8D!!

Haha, I love how I'm not the only one who first thought of the Planeteers!

(reply to this comment)

Oh. Silly me. It's in the tags. o_o NOW I FEEL LESS SPECIAL. :(

(reply to this comment)

I would guess that Yuko would be 'Heart' 'cause she's the little cute one. =)

(reply to this comment)

Unfortunately, I think I have to be "Water" because I'm the Asian-Ish-Girl. XD

(reply to this comment)

I guess I'm not the only one who immediately thought, "With our powers combined...!"

(reply to this comment)

I'm curious who would get wind. If we're going by matching up the people by race/nationality, I'm afraid that Ananth will be the one stuck with heart (since Ma-ti was some sort of weird conglomeration of South/Central American, Indian, and whatever other ethnicity Ted Turner thought he missed).

But who among you has roots in the former Soviet Union?

(reply to this comment)

I'm dating Rachelle, whose mother was both in Russia. I guess that means I get it? ^^;

(reply to this comment)

Ma-ti.

It was a valiant effort, Conrad, but I guess there's just no arguing with complete strangers over the interwebs.

(reply to this comment)

...I don't remember her name either! All I can remember is Minka (wind).

...I sometimes wonder at the flytrap that is my mind. X_X

(reply to this comment)

I am intrigued at what Captain Race (Captain Multiculture?) would look like. Would he just be a guy who happens to be really knowledgeable about peoples' heritage?

(reply to this comment)

Yes. And like how Captain Planet is blue and green, he would be a rainbow of all ethnicities and cultures.

(reply to this comment)

Asian eyes, African facial structure, South American skin tone, with a European build. And he only speaks Esperanto.

(reply to this comment)

Not Esperanto, Volapük!

(reply to this comment)

You guys are like the cover to a college brochure.

(reply to this comment)

It is pretty embarrassing!

(reply to this comment)

I can't see Tuesday's comic >: Maybe it's me....

(reply to this comment)

It's a problem we're working on ... go back and then forward, or access it from the archive for the time being. Sorry! ):

(reply to this comment)

I saw it more as the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers... With John as Zordon.

(reply to this comment)

This.

Secondly, yall aren't supposed to talk to each other when you're bored of the internet after not having it for so long.... If anything you should have all signed into some IM, and sat in the same room IMing each other. That way you can at least pretend that all the pain and suffering you went through without the net, was actually well founded.

(reply to this comment)

"We ended up doing other things like reading books and talking to each other."

it sounds like a very dystopian adventure indeed.
There Is No Talking In Internet-Land!

(reply to this comment)

that makes 2!

(reply to this comment)

Only on Johnny Wander is everyone a "halftone."

(reply to this comment)

Now all you need is a kid in a wheelchair, and you will be every 1980's diversity PSA ever.

(reply to this comment)

Save on roommates! Push somebody (I recommend drawing straws, that way it's fair) off the roof and hope they don't actually die!

(reply to this comment)

Those stairs'd sure be interesting to navigate in a wheelchair.

I guess you could make a case for a lack of sense of smell as a handicap. Poor Conrad. :(

(reply to this comment)

I'd watch that show. And eat the cereal. And I hate cereal.

~*KA*~

(reply to this comment)

I'm sensing a Power Rangers/Captain Planet theme coming in.

Ananth: Script!
Yuko: Pen!
Conrad: Ink!
Mike: Paper!
Steve: Caffine!

John: With your powers combined, I am Captain Pl- JohnnyWander!

(reply to this comment)

I'm pretty sure Conrad would be 'caffeine'. Steve would probably be 'music'.

(reply to this comment)

Conrad is DEFINITELY caffeine. See: Monster Java. Conrad can't get enough.

(reply to this comment)

Awesome.
Don't forget to put Steve and Mike on the cast page~

(reply to this comment)

Is Yuko standing on a box, or in mid-leap?

(reply to this comment)

mid-leap off a box. it's the only way.

:P

(reply to this comment)

be fair, she may be vertically challenged but, she isn't Gimli!
We all know that the planeteers founded green peace, so logically the so.... multiculter-squad would end up founding something equally as ignored, like the UN or something.

(reply to this comment)

Johnny Wander Multicultural Planeteer CosPlay.
Rings for everybody.
And a monkey.
Draw it.
You know you want to...
Pretty please with chocolate lava inside...

(reply to this comment)

Chocolate Lava?

(reply to this comment)

Chocolate Lava Cakes.

You're the symbol of the America being a melting pot of culture and ethnicity, you're the example for all to follow....wow, th-that actually sounds pretty awful. Do you at least get to have various diverse food?

(reply to this comment)

and by awful I in no way meant it must be awful living together or that anyone there aren't cool cats or anything. just that you are a symbol of americas Diversity. minus the gun wielding war mongering fast food enthusiasts.

(reply to this comment)

But...but I like gun wielding, war mongering fast food!

(reply to this comment)

I just pictured Wendy with a pith helmet and a hunting rifle.
It was glorious.

(reply to this comment)

All they manage to summon with their super diversity powers is a 19th century white army colonel with plans for Imperialism abroad.
