    OK, I recognised Dr. Doom, and I wasted far too much time on image search, tracking down the other guy….

    Whom I’ve now identified as the Incredibles’ Buddy Pine ….

    Ta dah! ….AKA Syndrome!

    (yeah yeah, OK, some of you already knew … but where were you?)

    So I finally get it…..the comma is everything.Dan, you made me work awfully hard for that…. especially throwing in Dr. Doom, and maybe Dan Harbeke, as red herrings.Do I at least get an A?Preferably a less irritable one…..

    Did Mr Fantastic write this? ‘Cause it’s a s-t-r-e-t-c-h.

    I still do not understand. Can someone explain? (This strip is getting very esoteric.)

    Yep, I missed the comma on first reading.

    So I guess Syndrome survived getting sucked into a jet intake by his cape, huh? Since he’s there and the cape isn’t, y’know.
