Wally and Hootmon captured!

[Raphael]

While on a mission trip into uncharted territory, locals failed to recognize RR comics Wally and Hootmon. As they were cooking in a huge iron pot, one of the cannibals tasted the broth and asked, "Does this taste funny to you?"

UPDATE

The indigenous tribe holding Wally and Hootmon are said to be located in a Parish of Louisiana (USA). United Nations Secretary General Kofi Anan has dispatched top aides to assess the situation to determine whether it needs condemning or deploring.

Local newscasters were allowed to interview the captives. When asked how he was feeling, Wally said, "It's cooler in here than in the Midwest." When Hootmon was told the United Nations was getting involved, he said, "That's it - we're dead."

Given a long enough time exposed to Wally and Hoot's unique sense of humor, though, the natives might voluntarily (and eagerly) free them purely from self-preservation. All Wally and Hoot have to do is go all "Ransom of Red Chief" on them.

The natives were a bit curious as to why the pot was bubbling before the fire was lit.

LATEST NEW FLASH - A&P, Roto-Reuters:

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton (U.S.), an ardent student of the History Channel, has announced that a National Guard division will be deployed to the kidnapping scene. Her researchers have discovered a greeting believed to mean locally "We come in peace". As the troops approach, their squad leaders will simultaneously shout, "Choot 'im! Choot 'im!"

WALLY AND HOOT ESCAPE!
Reunite with family and friends

Rooters News has just learned that Wally received a text message regarding methane gas escaping from a nearby bayou. Hoot stood up in the pot and announced that he was the tribe's long-awaited Patron Saint of the Bayou, and that if not released he would make all the water within 100 miles smell just like the broth. A tribal elder ran into the camp and suggested that they release Saints Bubbles I and II or the whole territory would smell like home cooking.

On their (speedy) way home, Wally offered to buy Hoot a Moon Pie. Hoot responded, "No, I'll bayou one. No need to stew about it."

Gary Larson, is that you?

Even the Philistines finally realized that they had to send the Ark o' Covenant back.

They provided a cart and a pair of cows for the trip home.
Did they also give you some golden tumors and rats for your troubles?

As the sole comic survivor, Raphael had hopes to be the only beneficiary of the Great Funny (soup)Bone Caper.

Fortunately Hootmon's effervesence saved the day.

I'll be on O₂ therapy for a few weeks yet.

Out of the pot and returning fire........Now Raphael will have to check six. Frequently.
