The Grieving Process

Ricardo Montalban passed away this week. I’ll never forget his portrayal as Khan Noonien Singh in “Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan,” or as The Joker in the 1960′s “Batman” series starring Adam West. No… wait, that was Cesar Romero.

If there is an afterlife, I hope it’s governing body has a sense of humor and allows Ricardo Montalban and Hervé Villechaize to greet all new comers with a hearty, “Welcome… to Fantasy Island.

Godspeed, you rich Corinthian leather bastard.

    Maybe be just says it with a flat "a"

  2. Jonny Ace

    not to be a dick or anything but pronouncing flan as "flon" is the correct pronunciation, even though a lot of people say it as if it rhymed w/plan (as in "it's all part of the plan")

  3. Jonny Ace

    side note: i see a comic, It's All Part of the Flan! lol

  4. Tommy WinBear

    For your "soft Corinthian leather" fix, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vIL3fbGbU2o

    omg, even better mashed up with ST:TWOK: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HVELhUyLZGk

    Eli and his flan makes me laugh and laugh.

  7. ceer78

    However it's spelled in the comic, I'm sure Eli is pronouncing it correctly. He *is* Mexican after all. You know, RE: the Great Gay Controversy from the last comic I think I will make it my duty from now on to point out the obvious in each comic so that people don't get offended. I'm sure that will never get old.

    i will please be having pikachu-me in icon size pls, kthnxbye.

  9. Dean

    Are you actually a big fan of Pokemon, or was that just for shits and giggles?

  10. Just Christine

    I think the best expression in this comic is Josh's angry bacon face.

    Also, as of last checking, this isn't showing up on the front page.

  11. Jonny Ace

    i love the 2 drops of bacon grease flying off the bacon, or at least that's what i think it is

  12. Dram

    RIPYFB. As always, I just can't get over how much your art has been improving. Don't think I missed Denise's rad new white face line.

  13. A.J.

    Yep. As a out and proud Mexican, I can tell you that the correct pronunciation of the "a" in flan is to rhyme with "Khan" or "Tron" or even "Pokémon."

    Mmmm. Now I want some flan… with bacon.

  14. Shawn

    I don't think any one man with so few appearances had such a huge impact on Trek.

    i am not a fan at all. my sister refers to herself, and occasionally me, as pikachu when she's being self-racist (she dressed up as that on halloween). eg: that barbecue place was wall-to-wall white people, and you could tell from their faces when i walked in, they were thinking, "what is that pikachu doing in here?"

  17. Shawn

    Hell to this day when they make a Star Trek movie they still compare the bad guy to Kahn

  18. groonk

    Ricardo Montalban…Patrick McGoohan. who's next??

  19. Jonny Ace

    good comic Joel, i was sad to hear the news as well. i love the Pikachu suit on Denise! side note: great suggestions from spell check for "Pikachu" (incl.pistachio, and pikestaff)

  20. Lardboy

    Awesome artwork, from now on Denise must appear as Pikachu at every fancy dress party along with Josh in his fancy bastard costume.
    However wouldn't you have to pronounce flan as fl-on for it to work? There for EPIC FAIL!!11one, vote this shit down !!!1111one!1, blah blah blerg

  21. King Zilch

    I have this really bad feeling about Stan Lee…I want so much to be wrong

  22. groonk

    oh no!

  23. Shawn

    Ever watch Attack of the Show? There's some classic racist jokes on there.

  24. Shawn

    Its actually quite hard to find clean (un-mashed up) videos of wrath of kahn on utube. Here's a good one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EaW35-l1CQ0

  25. Shawn

    I think he spelled TRRROOOOOOOOOOONNNNNN wrong too. If I'm not mistaken that's far too many letters :-D

  26. Kyochan

    We can has this comic as a wallpaper, yes?

    I love the way the speech bubbles are stacked on top of each other. It makes the effect that much more dramatic.

  27. groonk

    yes, yes. wallpaper, please!

  28. hijinksensue

    let me talk to marketing.

  29. Greg

    He was aces in The Naked Gun.

  30. Not_Mandatory

    BITE YOUR TONGUE!

  31. pupruff

    Let's go with that. Oh man, now my mind is doing bad things.

  32. hijinksensue

    Pikestaff is the correct pronunciation.

  33. hijinksensue

    How far north of the Mason-Dixon line are you? Flan has the softest of soft a's.

  34. hijinksensue

    Ahhhhh, the USS Cordoba. It was a fine ship.

  35. hijinksensue

    this thing you ask. I can do this for you.

  36. hijinksensue

    please start a band called "Josh's Angry Bacon Face"

  37. hijinksensue

    I appreciate the compliment. I was debating on making denise's hair not pure black so I could show more definition in her face, but I thought I would try this first.

  38. hijinksensue

    Ill leave that on loop in the background of the podcast tonight.

  39. Mad_March_Hare

    Yeah, I like the little highlight/detail strip.

  40. doug

    That is very, very, _very_ funny!

  41. looneynerd

    Dude could rock a rubber chest-piece.

    Why was that the first place my mind went on this one?

  42. FrakTruck

    TR22222222222222222NNNNN

  43. FrakTruck

    let us not forget his short lived role in the shorter lived cartoon, freakzoid, I think he played himself even

  44. jeanlucw

    That's real sad. We'll always remember his role in the best Trek movie to date.

  45. Just Christine

    Consider it done. Our first song would be a cover of the Josh theme, of course.

  46. Jonny Ace

    I'm on the drums!

  47. Brandon

    I <3 imdb, "Freakazoid!" …. Armondo Guitierrez (4 episodes, 1995-1996)

  48. Shakey

    Hate the news, love the strip, but isn't the pronounciation off though?

    Kirk's cry is "kan" – an "a" – not "kon" – an o – so isn't Tron and Pokemon wrong?

    Still ROLF'd though…

  49. mrben

    turns out it's Tony Hart. Which won't mean anything to people outside of the UK….

  50. groonk

    yup and yup.

  51. SiriusGraphics

    SOMEONE on your team might enjoy these BACON CUPCAKES

    Hehe…

  54. greg2point0

    Josh is holding a frying pan of bacon. Now I realize that it has been well established that he has an immense love for bacon, but it has also been established that he never cooks. How does this work? Is bacon the only thing he will actually make (besides buttering bread?)

  55. onkln

    kaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhnnnnnnnnnn

  56. Kschenke

    Let us not forget that he was on Freakazoid as Armondo Gutierrez (although he was pretty much playing Kahn… he actually says "He tasks me.").

  57. @Daniel_Cole

    How come nobody has mentioned Freakazoid?
