The Dune Sea
There is something in the Dune Sea that is worse than a Krayt Dragon. Worse even than the great Sarlacc in the Pit of Carkoon. Kevin Bacon, Betelgeuse and Paul Maud’dib all know one should never underestimate a sand worm. Apparently, Paul got confused about which Emperor he was fighting and got lost on his way to beat on House Harkonen. Will Luke be able to make the most of this bizarre crossover? Come back on Friday to find out!
For those unfamiliar with Dune, the picture on the right by DeviantArt artist Leywad gives a good image of one of the coolest moments from the ‘film’ or ‘book’. I’m not quite what I would consider a fan of the book series or the film, although I like some of the ideas, actors and visuals from the film. I was also an addict of the Dune 2 real time strategy game which was only loosely inspired by the book series.
I had a 9 panel monstrosity of a strip just about complete after 5 hours of work (completely different punchline and not featuring any reference for Dune), when I realized I was over complicating things and needed to ditch everything. So, I did. And thanks to Leanne’s enthusiasm for the Dune crossover idea I pitched to her, we turned this one out just a few moments before our midnight deadline. Weird how these things happen. I do think the strip I had been working on earlier would have left nearly all our readers nonplussed.
And a reminder: We’ve far exceeded our initial goal for the SAVE BLUE MILK SPECIAL CAMPAIGN. However, not only am I offering a digital copy of our exclusive “Thank You” strip for $20 dollars or more, but I am now offering a SECOND exclusive strip for donation of ANY AMOUNT. Donate a single $1 dollar, or $1 million and you’ll get a strip starring Luke and Han Solo set during ANH. However, you will still have to donate over $20 to get the Boussh and C3PO exclusive.
Please also consider lending your weight of support to the VOYAGE TREKKERS MOVIE CAMPAIGN. See what it’s all about below.
Bahahahaha!! I never thought of the possibility of a Dune crossover! Love it!
Now all you need is a Dune worm to fight a sandworm from Beetlejuice! 🙂
Freud would have a field day combining those two betoothed genitalia stand-ins…
Sorry, I had to go there. But at least now everyone can be not feeling as weird now that someone said it. 😀
Muad’dib. Muad’dib. Muad’dib….I mean, Luke use the Force! Awesome crossover.
Glad to see I still have time to contribute to the Rod Hannah Poverty/Medical fund. Each passing day makes me a might nervous that I’ll miss out.
I’m a great fan of Herbert’s Dune series, especially God Emperor of Dune. I enjoy the esoteric perspective, and one of my Brothers enjoyed the anthropological angle concerning the Fremen. Something for everyone evidently, including parody fodder.
The Blue Milk Must Flow!
And here I was picturing Han telling Declan Jabba that he’d pay him back triple, and the Hutt replying, “Sorry Han, the Spice must flow.”
Serving as spiritual leader, Paul would rally the sandpeople to take over the galaxy if Luke et al aren’t careful!
For a second I thought that was Biggs riding the worm.
So as not to have wasted 5 hours, you might as well show us the other strip! Free bonus content!
It is by Forciness alone I set my mind into motion. It is by blue milk that thoughts acquire speed, the lips acquire stains, the stains become a warning. It is by Forciness alone I set my mind into motion.
