If there's going to be a Jeff Goldblum related joke, might as well be making fun of him. Penguins are great though, really.

They say that for every penguin you find there's 50 inside the house itself. ... Or maybe that was rats.

Haha! He sorts out the fly problem, tries to become human again and now there is a penguin in the machine! That's cool!

Well, at least being a penguin-man should be more suave than being a fly-man.

For those who don't get it:
It's supposed to be a reference to "The Fly". In "The Fly" something goes wrong with a teleportation experiment when a fly gets in the machine. The strip is saying he has now solved the problem by capturing flies and re-running the machine. At the last second, however, a penguin gets into the machine.

Hehe, good one... And to everyone who doesn't get it; go rent "The Fly", cool movie:)

Except why would his body have disappeared, but left the penguin whole and untransmuted? Weak. :(

Perspective... His body isn't gone. You obviously missed the joke.

Very funny, the "OH SH..." face is the best part of comic. I really like when you need to read twice or trice to see all details.

I love the ending, not because of his face, but because of the penguin's face. It's awesome!

I can't shake the impression of a brundlefly head lying on the floor of the chamber for some reason. Maybe i'm just missing it.

I sat next to the actual Brundlefly prop in a Planet Hollywood. It made things very difficult when it came to eating. We eventually had to move.

I appreciate the penguin shrugging his shoulders, maybe knowing that will make some people giggle

I will say the last panel is perplexing. I know he's supposed to be vexed because a penguin has shown up in his machine, but I can't help but see either Brundlefly's head sitting on the floor of the machine or the penguin floating (flying?) above his head inside the machine. But even if neither of these is the case, this one is satisfying in its absurdity.

My all-time favorite movie monster, drawn and colored AWESOMELY. It does kinda look like he doesn't have a body in the last panel, but I did get the joke.

I see where you guys are coming from in regard to the last panel. I also just realized I forgot to draw in his hair and and weird fluffy mandible thing. May have to do some touch-up later today...

The lab must be near Southend. I hear they have people-penguin issues there a lot.

The joke is from the movie "The Fly". A fly gets into the machine and causes the main character to become the scientist above during teleportation. Wanting to fix this, and prevent another fly from interfering he sets up fly traps. The penguin is the new fly.

In the Fly 2, brundelfly teleported with a dude and turned out fine. maybe there will just be a fly-penguin

Alright then, I updated the last panel. Hopefully it reads a bit better now. (you may have to hit refresh to see it properly if you've loaded the image once already)

Maybe a part of the joke is also that he goes to a great length to prevent anything that flies from coming in...and a nonflying creatures foils his plan :)

u people read too much into things! it's like the koala on the helicopter in the simpsons go to australia episode it's ridiculous and tha's why it's funny
also the last frame was fine before think of it as an overhead angle looking across and down, u can't see his body cuz it would have been out of frame!
sheezzzzz!
but it's been a loooooooong time since i saw that movie, why's he naked?

If he were wearing cotton clothing he'd slowly mutate into the fluffiest man on Earth.

Yep, it works now that you see the whole body, in case you missed it the first time.
Jake

I always wondered if he would gain fishlike features if he had just eaten sashimi. And it's not like the guy didn't have any mites on him. I'd probably give up on the machine altogether.

ooh it does look better! I knew it a little weird that his head would be floating in space like it was. You have a good eye for things sir, that you do!

Wouldn't he only be 1/4 human, 1/4 fly, and 1/2 penguin if he were to fuse with them again?

Explained...
-In teh movie "The Fly" a human is mixed with a Fly by accident -In teh Comic the Scientist wants to transform back to human and to make sure no Flys are involved this time, he hangs out the Flytraps -At last he starts the Beamprocess to turn back human and in the Chamber the Penguin awaits him...

I hope it's just a conscious use of creative license to get two syllables for the quote. (I almost didn't leave this comment, but then I saw he did a "lol @ transporters" in the exact format i had this one, so i had to :P) comic is awesome!
