Strip by: Jacob S

Pea: The afterlife is much like a dysfunctional office comedy. Let me show you what I mean.
Caption: Orbiting planet M-113. I guess nobody named it.
{Elvis sits in front of a desk with a computer on it}
Elvis: Hey, there's comics on the internet!
Dusty: I think this comic is going downhill.
Dusty: Let's see. Electro-axe. Energy mace. "Plasma bow"?? You just took a D&D equipment list and stuck techy words in front, right? I want to be related to Big Bird, not Jaws!
{Three angry people show up. One brandishes a wooden plank with a nail stuck through it.}
Dusty: Now this one... This one will let you pass the Turing Test.
Caption: 3:53
{Elvis is in a hospital bed.}
Elvis: {thinking} Whatcha doin' professor?
Pea: Excuse me just a moment. Have we dynamite?
Caption: Weeooo! What's that awful smell?

The author writes:

Awkward Fumbles is the most dormant of the Comic Irregulars comics, with its last update being around 9 years ago. Considering the premise of Awkward Fumbles was to "fill in the speech bubbles", I've decided to make iToons edits of each strip.
As the first strip in my new project, I thought it was important to start with an interesting premise. I've taken lines of dialogue from the first installment of each Comic Irregulars comic. I chose and placed the dialogue such that the comic still works. Thus, a lot of the lines are recontextualised.
