The various members of the team discuss what to do in the wake of Regenesis





I love these two, and that smug little smile of Doug's in that last panel (Though one has to wonder what he was saying in the second one)

Some people are naturally skinny, Doug appears to have grown into such a person.

yeah but he doesn't look skinny, he looks gaunt. shallow cheek bones, shadows under the eyes. i seriously looks like he hasn't eaten or slept since Hell/hel.... it's not very attractive... i can only imagine his tooshie has gotten so bony.... and we all know how much you love tooshie :D

Third panel, maybe a little, but the others... not seeing a problem. Besides it'd just make him easier to cuddle.

I wouldn't mind it, I could even like it, if pretty well every appearance since his resurrection hasn't been super-buff. It just seems odd to suddenly switch.

Bah, such a small number of 1s and 0s wouldn't convey any useful information. Should have been far more of them, in smaller text, with a ... at the end to indicate there were many more being said.

Silly non computer people.

Only if you exclude the likelihood of one HELL of a compression algorithm, which in their case (these guys have shared genetic code so know each others ins and outs (or 1's and 0's)) seems quite likely.

yeah, or worse, they could have pre-generated "vocabulary" with phrases and concepts uniquely referenced. So they're not talking in binary so much as reciting binary tags to stuff they've already shared, like a monster version of shrinking strings using base256.

Or it could even be tonal. Since we can't hear them, they might be 0-ing and 1-ing in different pitches (Think the "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" communication with the mothership sequence)

Being a gigantic nerd, I tried to decipher (ha!) Doug's first speech bubble -- it's not even gibberish, if you try to decode it to ASCII. I didn't bother with the other ones after the first failed.

Too bad. If it had been me writing this I totally would have put in U-U-D-D-L-R-L-R-B-A-S-T-A-R-T.

DO those mean anything, like Reboot's "Take My Wife" joke, or was that just pointless numbers?

Our resident geeks elsewhere in the replies say it's meaningless.

But numbers are never pointless, at least not to Doug or 'Lock, who probably have more than one form of private binary shorthand between them.

I picked this up today after work and was reading NM and thought, "Oh cool, I'm so going to post this Doug/Warlock page on SD if icon_uk has beaten me to the punch."

But I got home and you already had.

Judging by Warlock's pose, the binary in that last panel translates to "Self/friend want to come round to self's place? Bouncy, bouncy!"

I always assume that Warlock and Cypher were introduced at much the same time because of their balance. Warlock is absolutely an artists character, Cypher is absolutely a writers character. I can imagine Claremont and Scienciwicz making a deal on it! :)
