   Fantastic guys! You two have really outdone yourselves. Very funny stuff. Found easter eggs! Koopa and Goomba are also sitting in the waiting room(untold origins/embrace your destiny), and the “Sonic is in Brawl” certificate from waaaaay back when is hanging on the wall in Dr.Mario’s office. Edit: 1st! Reply to this comment.

   Well I noticed Goomba and Koopa Troopa (aka the newest Pokemon) are sitting in the waiting room. And then theres Sonic’s certificate on the wall of his entry to Brawl. Thats all I caught on the first time through Edit: Darn, I thought I would be first, but DJ##### beat me by a second (literally) Reply to this comment.

   Happy Anniversary! My third anniversary was two weeks ago. NCG! I like how the chart on the wall shows that people have the bottle shape stage as their insides. And DJ54321, you are wrong about the P.S. thing and it’s all your fault. Reply to this comment.

   Loved the certificates in the background and Koopa and Goomba in the foreground. Thought for sure there would be a dragon or World Ends w/ You reference in there somewhere though I blame dj. Reply to this comment.

    Holycrap. That is made of win, and as such, warrants some of those labels be made into avatars! Brb… Oh yes, now I need to figure out how to rotate my screen so I can read the rest of it… Reply to this comment.

11. 11 D3vin Posted: Jun 4th, 2008 at 3:40 pm

    The Dr. Mario rushing to the screen is probably a reference to comic ‘Untold Origins’, It is not a copy/paste/edit but Mario says the ‘It’s-a me’ thing in it too… and the same Poster is on the back wall of the office… When I try to put a bunch of in-jokes into MY comic it doesn’t get noticed… *sniffle* I like this week’s logo btw.

    Love the old comic references. And the warning labels. But, I must say the best one is the one upside down warning on the Medication label. Genius. Great comic. Happy Anniversary to you and your wife! and looking at the mii, i think i may have raced you once on kart o.O Reply to this comment.

    Who eats 17,280 times a day? My grandmother. She cooks all the time and never stops cooking. And the first and last thing she always says to you is “Did you eat?” (usually coming immediately after “hello” and always after “goodbye” where she proceeds to stuff you with armfuls of food items stuffed in breakable dishes, as she has never owned a piece of Tupperware in her life.) Did I mention that she’s Italian? Happy Anniversary Tim and Sarah! BTW, I kind of like the story comics better than the simple joke comics. Story comics are great! Reply to this comment.

22. 22 Ali Posted: Jun 5th, 2008 at 6:52 am

    I read all your comics (as soon as i came here i started from number one) and i love all the jokes on Mario. I loved the super mario galaxy one but mario just didn’t do it for me on the shinyness. You could have made him a lot glossier and added light. Oh well maybe next time. P.S. I am very high while writing this, in fact I’m higher than hilltop zone P.S.S. Happy Anniversary P.S.S.S I love saying P.S. P.S. P.S. P.S. P.S….. *faints* Reply to this comment.

23. 23 Tristan Posted: Jun 5th, 2008 at 7:11 am

    hah! i found one that nobody seems to have pointed out yet! in the 3rd and 6th panels, on the left is the doctor mario pill bottle anatomy poster, which also showed up in the untold orginis/embrace your destiny with koopa and goomba. also, when is there going to be a WEWY comic? =( P.S. if people hadnt pointed them out, i would have never notcied koopa and goomba in the waiting room, or the ’sonic is in brawl’ certificate. i might have noticed koopa and goomba on my own by tomoroow, but i would have never seen the ’sonic is in brawl’ poster at all. P.S.S. who the flip could take 17280 tablets a day? with food, no less? Reply to this comment.

24. 24 Andrew Posted: Jun 5th, 2008 at 7:44 am

    P.S.S. who the flip could take 17280 tablets a day? with food, no less? You have to remember that the pills don’t digest, they simply line up and disappear. As long as you take them in the right order and orientation, they won’t fill you up at all. Reply to this comment.

25. 25 dj75728 Posted: Jun 5th, 2008 at 8:44 am

    Is the fact that if you take some of the numbers from the Rx# and some of the numbers from how many tablets TiMii is supposed take you can make 75728 an easter egg ? hah! i found one that nobody seems to have pointed out yet! in the 3rd and 6th panels, on the left is the doctor mario pill bottle anatomy poster, which also showed up in the untold orginis/embrace your destiny with koopa and goomba. Actually D3vin already pointed out the poster. P.S. I am very high while writing this, in fact I’m higher than hilltop zone Umm…..I hope that’s a joke. Reply to this comment.

26. 26 Eddie Hargreaves Posted: Jun 5th, 2008 at 10:55 am

    I about did a spit-take when Mario jumped out in the second panel. That will always make me laugh, so I say put it in every comic. Loved seeing Tim as a Mii, as opposed to the ‘cartoon’ version of himself. Reply to this comment.

27. 27 zhinker Posted: Jun 5th, 2008 at 2:32 pm

    I’m not seeing any comments from Tim and Ray here. Come on guys, how about letting us know if we’re missing an easter egg or two. Reply to this comment.

    Long-time lurker, first-time commenter - NCG! Well, I don’t think anyone has mentioned anything SPECIFIC about Koopa that might be easter egg-ish… Is it the pokeball? I’m assuming no one mentioned it because anyone who notices Koopa would straight away see the bright-red ’shell.’ Or is it something else? Reply to this comment.

    hey your right, koopa is in a pokeball. and yes, i forgot all you have to do to take the tablets is make them line up and they vanish. …all of a sudden my brain made a connection between dr. mario and tetris. dont they both involve dropping things, lining up the things you drop, and making those things vanish? seroisly. did nintedo rip off tetris? although dr. mario is still pretty different anyway. but you should make a comic comparing Dr. Mario to Tetris. Reply to this comment.

35. 35 dj75728 Posted: Jun 6th, 2008 at 7:16 am

    Is it the pokeball? I’m assuming no one mentioned it because anyone who notices Koopa would straight away see the bright-red ’shell.’ Or is it something else? I noticed it too, but didn’t think it had to be mentioned. But anyway, it’s more than likely a pokeball since the front/underbelly of the shell isn’t ever red(or green) but tan, but then again when Koopa wore the pokeball he wore it with the white side towards his front, so unless he switched it around…….. Edit: What the heck is on the bottom of the fifth panel(the one with TiMii’s mouth open)? It’s been bothering the crap outta me. Reply to this comment.

I think sticking both games together on the same cartridge was Nintendo’s way of giving a nod to the original Tetris. Reply to this comment.

    We got lots of things but I bet there are some dragons or death zones or nubs waiting for us just to find them. Nah. But if you look closely in the first panel at the scribbles above Timii’s head (or, as I found it in all of the scribbles in a different position, you can look at it in basically any panel. Ray’s laziness shows itself) you can kinda slightly make out a *is cut off by a lawnmower* Reply to this comment.

    @Dragonblader1 & etc.: TWEWY is okay, pretty good music, but I fear it’ll get annoying soon if it’s the same songs looped. combat is pretty cool, especially using both screens at the same time, works the mind, but I don’t like the stylus combat yet. Don’t like the plot cause it started with “7 DAYS!!!!”. After finishing the first day, which was very short, I hope the rest of the days are much much longer, although I expect they will be. And I like the Acronym TWEWY cause I no longer say The world ends blah blah…., now I just say Twewy(Tah-woo-wee) . I’ll put up another review later, when I’ve played it more. But I think I’ll like it. Doesn’t make me want a comic for it though, sawwy . Reply to this comment.
