On Today's Alley Oop - 19 October 2021
I think the dumbometer completely blew up with today's strip. It has been overloaded from the start of this story - heck, really from Joey's first day - but today just seems so incredibly stupid. The basic premise for the entire story has been a false one, that the three time-travelers have no way to return to the 21st Century when Ava should be able to bring them back any time with the time-machine. The past few weeks have focused on a really hard-to-understand sequence that involved meteors containing minerals they need to build new time-cubes luckily falling where our heroes could find them. None of it made any sense but that didn't stop Joey from continuing on with the nonsensical yarn. But, today, rather than building time-cubes, Doc builds an air-conditioner! If you could somehow accept the idea that anybody could single-handedly build an air-conditioner, how about the rest of it? Wonmug has no electronic components, such as an an evaporator, condenser, expansion valve, or compressor. He has no tools with which to build anything. And, even if he could somehow build such a thing, there is no electricity to run the darn thing. Dumb!
