#821: Five-Minute Comics: Part 3 explain
Because of a family illness, instead of regular comics, this week I’ll be sharing some strips that I drew as part of a game I played with friends. Each comic had to be written and drawn in five minutes.

;Comic #1
Pearl Harbor. November 7th, 1941.
[There is a beach, with some ships floating in a crescent shaped harbor.]
[The same bay, again.]
[The boats continue to move about the harbor.]
[The boats do their thing. A title explains.]
(We’re going to be here a while, since the attack wasn’t until December.)
;Comic #2
[Cueball is sitting on a bus, Megan in front of him. Another person is sitting in front of Megan and another person is sitting behind Cueball.]
I know it’s natural and all, but I really wish women on the bus wouldn’t try to breastfeed me.
Megan: C’mon, have some milk. Right here.
Cueball: I’m reading.

;Comic #5
[One person has a cord leaving their mouth, the other is holding a handset on the end of it to their ear.]
Handset: Hee hee hee… *giggle*
I hear that if you drink coke and eat pop rocks, you vomit up a corded telephone handset on which you hear creepy little girls giggling.
;Comic #6
[Three soldiers are holding a large integral sign, while a fourth points a gun at the Little Rock High School.]
1957: Eisenhower orders the military to integrate Little Rock High School.
;Comic #7
[A smartphone is vibrating across a table, towards a person.]
The smartphones got too smart… and developed a taste… for BLOOD!
Fortunately, the only way they could move was by turning on their vibrate while on a sloped table.
;Comic #8
[Cueball is reading to his child.]
Cueball: And the wolf went to see the 38th little pig, who had built his house out of strontium.
Cueball: And the wolf was all, “Ok, what is with this shit?”
The 119 Little Pigs
;Comic #9
[Cueball is holding up a gun.]
Cueball: Fastest gun in the west!
[The gun is galloping across the desert.]
gallop gallop
[There is a podium, with a gun in each position.]
Winner!
;Comic #10
[A picture of a centrifuge dominates the panel.]
Centrifuges: They’re what separate the men from the boys.
;Comic #11
[A computer monitor is plugged in, and cables run into a wardrobe.]
Lucy: Time passes differently in Narnia, so by putting the CPU and storage for my machine there, I was able to run through the Folding@Home and Seti@Home databases in about an hour.
Peter: There are so many problems with that.
;Comic #12
[Someone is talking to Alice.]
Person: One of these days, Alice… Wham, zoom, sploosh, fwoom, splash, gurlle, wheeeee, fwoosh, aren’t waterslides fun?!
