Danger Mouse's Flying Car now on LEGO CUUSOO!

Posted: 2 days ago

My model of Danger Mouse's "Mark III" flying car, including custom-made figures of DM and Penfold has been now submitted to LEGO CUUSOO. It now needs your vote get it to the 10,000 votes required for being reviewed by The LEGO Group. Re… (continue »)

No, really, you don't want to mess with the paradox department, just ask David Morgan-Mar.

Edit (bit more info): Originally, I'd just written that the time travel still took place beause it wasn't caused by the fourth wall issues (it wasn't, Anderson invented the time machine) and that everybody in Tranquility Base is quite capable of messing things up without fourth wall issues interfering!

Also, the "rebuilding of the fourth wall" and the "reset button" events are not the same. The former will literally just fix the fourth wall, and Hudson has no choice in this (more on that in another comic); but the reset button is giving the option of resetting events as well.

The paradox department. So does the secretary of this department have skeleton body or no. Also don't do it the fourth wall needs to be in pieces. The janitor was just about to clean them up.

  Heh, we're not actually going to find out what the Paradox Deaprtment is like, it's just a passing reference (shout-out) to IWC, and a convenient reason to keep the wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey effects intact. Actually, see my edited blurb above for what I'd originally written with regard to the time travel.

    Oh I know what you were talking about. I was also making a passing reference to IWC. The fourth wall will just break again. It always seems to happen. Especially in the old deadpool comics.

At least you are giving an explanation to why you are resetting. ST: Voyager, not so much.

  LOL, the reason for ST:Voyager's resets are obvious: they mustn't get back home before the end of the final series!

But surely the evil author avatar is still wandering around out there? and didn't she kidnap Hudson's twin at birth? And since the EAA is still wandering around, wouldn't the entire scenario just repeat itself?

  Well, I'm sure that won't come back to bite them on the backside at all.
  There will be more on the Author Avatar (both Evil and Benign) on Wednesday.

So what happens if despite having the fourth wall reinstated, this comic again breaks through it? Or worse yet, it keeps on breaking it despite it having been reinstated? :D

Hmm...if they could break their original fourth wall, is this next one going to be any better?
