Meanwhile, In A Much More Exciting Universe







Megagiganegalon? Ikko? Blitzkrieg Bop? WHAT?!?

I asked these questions of myself, as I put this comic together. I still don't have answers. I don't think I ever will; let it simply be the case that somewhere, somehow, either Ike and Dido or multidimensional clones of Ike and Dido became or will become intrepid dimensional adventurers of such clout that they can deal with the likes of the dreaded Megagiganegalon.

Megagiganegalon, apparently some kind of silent but sentient torus, has equally apparently been causing all kinds of trouble, which only Ike and Dido can fix. And they can only do this when in a combined form called Ikko? For those who may or may not know, "ikko" in Japanese means "one piece" or "one individual", which is something I did not know before I chose the name. It was just a random collusion of phonemes from both names. What a lucky coincidence!

What Ikko doesn't know is that all this dimension-hopping is wholly unecessary. They think they've been making progress by Quantum Leaping all of Megagiganegalon's errors back to normalcy, but the truth of the matter is that, like a number of Detective Comics villains, Megagiganegalon just loses power when it hears its own name. Nevertheless it gives me an excuse to do some dimension-hopping, and also draw an icosidodecahedron.

Be on the lookout for more simple shape combinations; they are something I like to think about very much.
