Latest strip: 280 – Tuesday, June 23, 2026

Current story arc: Idiocraception – chapter: This Sucker Is Nuclear

Strip 280. Concerns are raised as the team descends deeper into the complex.
References: Duke Nukem 3D
Max: Wait a minute, if we are going deep into this building's basement, won't we lose the cell phone signal to OIB-A271?
Heidi: Do you still read us loud and clear, OIB-A271?
OIB-A271 (voice from phone): Yes, in fact the signal seems stronger than ever.

View of OIB-A271 in the real world.
Heidi (voice): Strange… unless this building is full of wireless connectivity.
OIB-A271: As a matter of fact, it is. Must be to allow for optimal control of those pesky bots.

Max again fires the plasma rifle, while Zhang points at a sign stating “reactor.”
SFX: POW!
Max: Speaking of bots… there's another one. Got it!
Zhang: Look, we are approaching the reactor. We are progressing from System Shock to Duke Nukem 3D!
Max: I hope we won't encounter any cops turned into pigs, then.
