We get our first proper meeting with the local Nobikini City Police Department (NCPD), and Anderson has made them look like total plonkers! You have to admire his audacity in not only smuggling Squidman out from under their noses, but also getting them to help with the smuggling. The amazing power of the name "Bladewood".

Although they are not named in-comic, in the transcript I've referred to the officers as Officer Hammerhead and Officer Sharkface.

There was a certain inevitability to Anderson's plan. Poor Clive and Algernon (cousin Algy) aren't going to have much fun when the Contralto family ask them questions. I think Squidman is right when he says his mum can probably take care of herself though.

Anderson's name isn't really "Obiwan", that's just Squidman acknowledging his sources.

Squidman hiding from Semaphore in the barrel is another scene that was a "spoiler" in a vote incentive first seen last year.

The Nobikini Bluefins and the Sun City Mermaids are rival teams in the top-level Ghoti-ball League.

Anderson is finally getting rid of the Vader suit. He no longer needs the disguise. The woman with him is Gwyneth, the cosplaying survivor from Earth. Anderson did promise to wear a hula skirt.

So, who was on the vid-phone?

Squidman was faking his injuries! And now he's going on the run. Poor Mrs Squidman... what's a mother to do?

Also, if Mr Golightly was defenestrated, then Squidman was refenestrated! :-D

I've had this idea jotted down for a few months. I had "those two TV guys" and made the occasional joke with them, but now they have a purpose in life. Of course, in the meantime I went and rebuilt the fourth wall, which means they can't present their reviews directly to you, the reading audience; so instead they are making a video-blog-review thingy in-universe. A show within a show (warning: TV Tropes), as it were. In future, you won't see the "recording process", just the finished result. The website they refer to, "That Guy with the Bionic-Eyes" is probably not related to any video-review-based website with a similar, but less bionic, name.

Oh yeah, we finally get names for the two guys (although we've known the guy with black hair's surname, "Weatherby", for a while): Isaac and Phillip. They are named after two of my favourite sci-fi authors.

I've lost count of the number of times in Star Trek when, after obtaining zero results, they narrow the search parameters when they really ought to widen them. Argh!

Speaking of searching (yes, today's episode was deliberately scheduled for this segue, you can now search the comic's archives! Episode titles and transcripts are automatically searched, and including the "notes" section is optional. At the moment the results will be limited because not all the archives have transcripts.

I bet you all thought something much worse was going to happen with the experimental spaceship? Nope, it just left Slog's underwear behind.

This is (probably) the last time you'll see the Beings from the Indescribable Place. Again, there is no character present with the translator nanode, so unless you "updated your browser's language files" (see episode #353), you'll only see alien text. [Hint: or you can read the transcript!]. In the last panel, the alien is referring to another BCN webcomic!

Heh heh heh. Only joking. I just couldn't pass-up the opportunity for the gag.

Hmmm, this is episode #365 -- if I was operating on a daily publishing schedule like Irregular Webomic! (or Legostar Galactica, although that's split between different "strings"), then I would have completed only one year's worth of comics instead of four. Wow, 365 episodes doesn't seem so many when put like that...
