#163 Climb to the Top

Hawk on Sept. 19, 2010

I felt like this page worked just fine without dialogue and sound effects. Besides, how do you spell out a Donkey Kong sound? Plus, people can imagine their own dialogue if they want. Maybe Meinji is yelling something about the widening gap between the upper and lower class.

Here are replies to some of the last page's comments:

Darius Drake - Behold, you are correct. Alec made it all the way to the top.
jiminycricketX - Inter-team tension is what I was hoping to build this comic out of. It always makes me happy to show that Tadashi and Alec still don't always get along.
Hoolo - Yeah, But Tadashi does enjoy getting healed by Brooke after things like this. Now there's something to look forward to.
NeoDarklight - Meinji spent several years training in an arcade. His focus was on fighting games, but he didn't exactly avoid the classics.
Zane Solomon and Scythe Massakur - Yes, seriously… Donkey Kong.
b_templar428 - If Alec picked up a hammer, he couldn't climb ladders until it went away.
ZesuXII - Don't worry, he'll be okay and back to being almost cool in no time.
Marscaleb - Thanks! That's just the kind of thing I like to know!

Do the Donkey Kong by Buckner & Garcia Wave your hands in the air, stomp your feet on the ground, Climb up the ladder quickly, and then spin yourself around. Open the umbrella up and answer the phone; You can do it with a partner, you can do it all alone. Scale up the wall, just how high can you go? You'll surely break her heart if you get up there too slow. Pound upon your chest and take an elevator ride; You can get off at the top and then you look from side to side. Chorus: Come on, come on. Come on, come on. Do the Donkey Kong. Do the Donkey Kong! Come on, come on. Come on, Come on. Do the Donkey Kong. Do the Donkey Kong. Tip-toe through the tulips and then raise your hands up high; There's a fire down below and you don't want to catch his eye. Hide behind each other and don't even make a sound; You're in trouble now, take the elevator down. Jump over all the barrels and let out a little scream; Duck underneath the pie, 'cause it's a coconut cream. You pick the hammer up and then you put the fire out; Now we think you know what Donkey Kong is all about.

I started imagining my own dialogue, but the panels ran out before Meinji could explain how he would justify that experiment to the scientific community.

The wrong soundtrack starting playing in my mind for this page...why did I get the Tetris theme? x.x; How many barrels can that guy bring up a building frame?

Booooooo yah! Now for a random bashin' on Mitch. Then he can add some bruises to his name, :D And well yeah, seems like Tadashi did have a plan after all, how sneaky sneaky of him.
