Description My cupboard was made by the “Director’s Commentary” company;

The title probably got misunderstood, it’s both a pun on the word drag AND the exclamation point means that it’s also like a person saying “What a Drag!” (I.e. That drag was great).

If you remember episode 86 you’ll know Tails was thrown at Roboshi by Cyboshi.

In the original script, tails didn’t say anything in Panel 2, but I felt it left a strange silence that meant the conversation didn’t flow well. So the idea that Tails was jumped from behind by Cyboshi. I hope the phrase “jumped from behind” travels well to the US and other countries, because there are a few other things it could be slang for but I’m not gonna list them.

Ah Now! Cyboshi’s newest weapon; A grappling hook. Don’t let the Zelda games confuse you; it can be a deadly weapon as well as a means of transport.

The drag itself is a spin on the usual occurrence of “the round world run” routine in most Sonic webcomics where the cast end up running for so long they pass a collection of popular landmarks. If you look long enough you’ll usually find it in most of them.

HOBO Dennis pointing out the section of his dumpster he’s renting out to this young couple. Another reference to episode 86 when HOBO Dennis said he was expecting this very couple’s arrival.

Bubsy and Ciel are the couple? That’s not a honeymoon I want to see. Both characters cameo from games, I was told, are good but I didn’t like.

“I can HEAR his smell” needs to be a T-shirt.

I had about 4 different ideas for what panel 6 was gonna be. In the script I just wrote *Roboshi gets dragged past landmark* (It was a very late night writing session but that was the gist of what I wanted) so when I came to this panel in production my first thought was to have the leaning tower of pizza in the background but it just wasn’t funny enough (it was basically playing off the “running round the world” thing I said earlier) then I had another cameo with a joke (I may come back to that particular joke) and in the End breaking the 4th wall and entering the Author’s Realm was alto funnier.

Wait a minute? If that’s the representation of myself in OFAY, then why am I not working on OFAY at the time? This is breaking both the forth wall AND my mind. I must be slacking off at the time.

Shadow; once again smiling at the Spectacle of Roboshi being Dragged back. Jokingly pretending that he isn’t phased by this strange sight. In a similar fashion to the Fish from “Monty Python’s; The Meaning of Life” who were quite calm about the fact that one of their friends was being eaten.

The Title was already half pun, and Roboshi generally doesn’t like them. Especially when they’re used to mock someone in a fight. Do you remember episode 42 when Headdy hated the puns Dr Mi produced? Well it seems Roboshi inherited it from him too.

My cupboard was destroyed by the bloke from the “Blurb” company;

The Stew containing 3 onions and 100 carrots is a reference to Pikmin, where the most Pikmin you can have outside at once is 100 and there are three onions; Red, Blue and Yellow (Pikmin 3 may change that)

Hocotake Freight is the company that Captain Olimar was an employee off in the Pikmin series.

The first Pikmin game consisted of a total of 30 game-days (maximum) to collect your ship parts.

The “Blue guy” was Louie whose dark secret was that he ate an entire delivery he was making and put his company into debt. (A secret you unlocked in Pikmin 2)

The Hookshot is Link’s form of Grappling Hook in “The Legend of Zelda” series. And it mostly only grabbed onto wooden things (except in Twilight princess when it grabbed onto metal grates)

Please rent a HOBO dumpster Section, you’ll have a night you’ll remember until the therapy starts working.

The Slogan is actually my record for completing the game Pikmin; 18 game-days. And I can repeat it with a reasonable success rate (only something going BADLY wrong can make my score worse now)
