Walking The Plank
the plank at Cubetown is 400 meters long, sentient, and horny

As someone in academia, if your presentation is gonna suck, there better at least be good food! Fun story time, Canada is trying to poach US scientists.. we had several present and 2 of them work on projects so secret they could not tell us ANYTHING about their work. But I definitely understand why maybe non-white people want out of Alabama
Explosion Wednesday is not officially a thing! Well, it might be a thing. Just trying it out for now. We'll see.
Pintsize, is that you??
Is the scuba diving good up next to Canadia? Seems like you only see people showing pictures of them diving in warm waters, but maybe that's just because they don't like cold water.
A friend of mine who got dive certification off the coast near Boston says that "yeah, you learn to dive here and your certification dive will be the worst dive you ever do (normally you'd just wait for better conditions, or *go* to better conditions) unless you get into rescue diving..."
a lot of serious business going on today. ~<3
Claire goes to visit the Director in the lightless ocean depths and Emily is just bobbing around in the vicinity in SCUBA gear.
The Director is slightly creeped out, but too polite to say anything.
Give us the plaaaank!
There’s a “Plank Length” joke in there somewhere, but I can’t quite tease it out.
make it a Planck length joke :->
Nah, its actually because a universal causal anomaly that occurs within Emily's presence. To sum it up, if something CAN blow up, around Emily, it WILL blow up. Think Murphy's Law, but specifically for explosions. I call it The Emily Effect.
In consultation with Edgar "K.B." Montrose.
Of course Emily wants to get thrown in the ocean.
We're all horny here, Jeph.
hmm, 400ft, average 400 likes → 400 is about the size of the active patreon community... and we've got the rest of the attributes... yep, the patreons *are* the plank.
ah, to take a long walk off a short pier
I keep forgetting to keep a mental note of those people in the background. I am sure one of them is the next big character. :-)
I miss the ocean. As it is, with all my current physical condition, a dip would likely not end well.
You and me both YB. As a former Navy brat I'm not used to being this far from salt water for this long.
BOOFSH
Or maybe it's Boomsday
No that's on June 15. (Because that's l less than Bloomsday).
So the plank likes to be stepped on? Kinky
I scrolled too fast and misread plank as plankton
I read prank first and got curious.
Sooooo many explosions... sounds like a day that ends in "y".
Or a day that ends in ”Why”
I sent you my 400 meter long plank plz respond
When a new employee Might get thrown to the sea That's A Moray!
*That'sNotAMorayBecauseShe'sNeverDoneThatToSomeoneNonconsensuallyyyyy 🎵
I’m getting Wonka vibes.
There's so little to do, and so much time to do it...
i need these goofballs to kiss
All of them?
I love that Moray is in PR mode trying to make sure Marten's jokes don't scare Emily off when she is literally just down as long as it's fun.
Even Moray doesn't quite get the full wonder of Emily :D
So many qualifications on that "We've never..." statement.
Is this level of explosiveness typical of Cubetown? Under or over?
There was a memo: Extra explosions today to impress Ms. Azuma.
CubeTown has a 400 meter-long Planck-length? No wonder their quantum mechanics are so weird!
ah, that's why there are such discrete frames - it's actually a movie, but since they can't move any less than a Planck-length at a time, we get comic/slide show :)
They're just on their weekly explosion stroll
please keep your explosion on a leash when walking it?
Pintsize, is that you? No. Forgot he got a new chassis.
It *might* be him in a wig in Panel 1...
Somehow some of the only sentient beings that aren't constantly horny in Cubetown are the naked goo girls.
We're all sentinent and horny down here Georgie
The vibe seems off with Moray's last speech bubble.
I think it needs to either omit "on purpose" and the second exclamation mark, or it needs to put an "or" in place of the third exclamation mark.
Explosion Wednesday? Is that meant to be a WheezyWaiter reference? Man, it's been a while...
Now there's a name I haven't heard in... about 13 years
Planck length is actually very very small... the smallest in fact!
It's smaller than 𝛆, for all 𝛆.
Uh-oh, something went “BOOFSH”. RUN!
Boo! fish! Someone “fell” off that plank!
They say the ghost of old pirate Redbeard haunts these waters. But then a group of Canadian teens unmasked the “ghost” in 1969 who was wanted for money laundering and keeping people from taking over his shipping business. The boat was seized after his incarceration and became the basis of Old Boaty today.
Zoinks!
If someone's vibe is off, they can always try to adjust the speed and pattern.
Or, you know, recharge it and switch it back on. And use a lower speed next time, it'll last longer.
The one constant at Cubetown is the Planck walking.
GDI SEAN. NOT PHYSICS PUNS.
Looking forward to the Emily/Plank slash fic.
I've never gotten the hang of Wednesdays.
The wetsuits are also sentient and horny.
Or explosive. It is Wednesday, after all.
Holy spit.
I want to BOOFSH
Well as we all know Emily is weird all the way down so no issues on the vibe check here
"You just can't HANDLE it!"
Moray's first frown?
I think she was frowny when she was cube shaped at the party.
I'm glad Puffer Vest seems like they'll field Yellow Anthro PC's head. I wonder if that will be a distance record for any of them.
Panel three, person sees the incoming head and prepares to catch for the win!
Is that Plank related to Plank from "Ed, Edd, and Eddie"?
I was expecting a Planck joke.
Reminder to self: When in Cubetown WEAR HEARING PROTECTORS! Very important, that. Deafness is the leading cause of people leaving Cubetown. Well, not including those thrown off the island by one of the BOOFSHS.
The real reason Ole Boaty is so cranky is having to retrieve all those explosion victims...
The plank also doubles as a catwalk for the house of textile detonation
I would bet money there's a whole division for studying turbulent flow where they throw each other into the ocean regularly
Turbulent or detached flow?
PSHOO
BOOFSH
Emily is just happy to be there!
Emily is just happy to find a place where her intelligence gets her hired instead of arrested. (Or both. It's still early.)
When her cute little pout Turns you inside and out That's A Moray.
