Sorry this is a day late. I crashed hard yesterday, possibly from heat stroke. Slept for about 11 hours. Feeling better today but still have a pain behind my right eye that I’m hoping the ibuprofen will take care of soon. I feel like I’m hungover but I wasn’t drinking last night. Life is so unfair. I should have a shot this morning…

At least the heat advisory for my area ended today. And I’m back in a beautiful home with Daisy the cavapoo and Jack the Cat. Okay, life is pretty good.

Doctor Brain-Eye Tentacled Worm freaked out because his patient is an “Omega-Level Extinction Threat” in case that font on the screen isn’t too clear. Of course you knew it and Java knew it. How did the doctor know it from his VR handle “JaguarBaby77?” (And, yes, I had to go back 200+ strips to look that ID up). Remember, that Java’s VR goggles actually were alien tech, so his game history is in the universal alien database that all space-faring species share. Which may account for why Earth hasn’t been invaded–especially after our greatest champion, Chuck Norris, passed away.

Have an artijoke for having to wait an extra day for your weekly Java strip:
