The Lone Asteroid



By:
McKye S. Carter
THIS IS FICTION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Once upon a time in the year 1,000,000,000 B.C. or so. There was an asteroid that was floating in space all alone. He was searching for fellow asteroids to create a planet that could sustain life on it. As he floated through the deep cosmos he pondered the mysteries of the universe.

He thought, "Who am I? Where am I ? Where am I going? Did the chicken come first or the egg?How much IQ do I have?" And so on. But his most important question was, "What will I call my planet?"

As he was drifting through the cosmos he noticed that there was a force yanking at him. When he surveyed the many stars he noticed in some clusters there was a black circle in them blocking out everything else. Then our hero realized the awful, horrible truth! He was speeding straight into a field of abnormally close black holes! The measly asteroid was doomed!!!!



Suddenly, a cosmic idea struck his stony brain. If he took advantage of the gravitational field of the black holes, he could wind his way outta there! So he twisted, turned, flipped and spun! Eventually he was drifting away from the field and thus, away from danger. But he was very exhausted.



Eventually, when he spent enough time resting, he continued on into the galaxy. He saw many planets that were already made. Then he saw it. It was his dream. It was his desire. It was want he was made for. It was ... Asteroids creating a planet!!!

The molten misshapen ball of rock was very big. But not as big as a mammoth gas planet he saw a few days ago! According to the unwritten rules of asteroids (They were unwritten because writing wasn't invented yet.), any asteroid could join in with planet making.

The planet just needed a spherical shape and a core. It just so happened that our hero was the right size and shape for both jobs! So he mustered all his strength and speeded toward the planet at mach 100 at a temperature of 10,000 degreases Celsius!



Then, in just two minutes, he SMASHED into the planet and sank into the center were he became the core. Meanwhile, on the surface, he caused a massive tsunami of magma that went around the planet thrice and gave it a spherical shape.



Now, as our hero was the core, he had to name the planet. He called it ...

EARTH.

THE END!

I guess we have Homestar Runner to thank for McKye's knowledge of 80's text-based games. I don't know how else he would have found out about them. In the last panel, the computer is saying, "That's gonna leave a mark." Click to supersize.


In the second to last panel, I believe the computer says, "Forsooth."


By the way, McKye has really enjoyed reading the comments. Thanks for sending them in.

How To Rob a Bank

By McKye Carter

Kaboom! Breee! This guide shall inform you on how to steal money from the bank, blow up the bank, then get out of the country. Just follow the steps right and you will be fine.

So, without further ado, here is the steps:

1. Buy explosives. This is expensive, though.

2. Learn how to use them. This is useful.

3. When it's night, sneak over to the bank as quiet as a mouse camouflaged in all black.

4. Use a grenade to blow up the door.

5. Disable all alarms as you go in.

6. Use a bomb or a stick of TNT to blow open the vault door.

7. Steal as much money as you can, starting with the highest value dollar.

8. Get outta there! You don't want the cops to catch you like a rat in a trap!!!

9. Repeat steps 3-8 (step 1 if necessary).

10. When all the money is gone, place all the explosives in the very center of the bank. Then place a remote igniter.

11. Go outside and activate the igniter.

12. Get plastic surgery on your face.

13. Buy a one-way plane ticket to Tokyo. Stay there.

This guide is all elementary, my dear Watson.*

The End
