Dina and Charlie: so now we can teleport.

Harrison Fuller

Oooh, evidence that Dina can teleport. This will be very important when a different kind of Alien comes in 35 years from now.

Jeremy AR

For single moment their combined powers tore a hole in the multiverse

Davin Coulston

Before I realised it was shortpacked I was expecting a wonder bread joke 😐

Jey Siksa

When you gotta go through the rest of the TV guide channel to see the show you missed

Taigan

…and so Dina and Charlie find themselves leaping from place to place, striving to put right what once went wrong and hoping each time that their next leap will be the leap home… or somewhere with dinosaurs.

kaitou

"Beam me....oop!"

Becky: ...I certainly hope Dina didn't use the word fuck to Charlie in the only context I can imagine it being used in...

Norris Preyer

“Jaunt” is the term for teleporting, from “The Stars My Destination”

Kazo

how the fu-

Johnoh 06

Together they’re so powerful they can travel to other universes

Harold

All that's missing are the Soggies.

Gale Tazzin

Is that one panel from Ball State???

Onyx

AWESOME

Meghan Rachelle

I hope they enjoyed their very short trip to visit our non-binary icon SUE.

Bagge

They can go anywhere! (which is kinda a problem if they want to go somewhere specific)

Jesse

They just barely avoided The Dab Dimension.

SkittleE

The commitment to drawing so many different environments exclusively for a one-off joke in a bonus strip is really impressive

Simon Magid

Sue is the greatest :) :) :)

darklion

*Enderman vwoop sounds*

veggiemail

Huh. I wonder who works at the Dumbiverse Shortpacked! store?

DL

Isn't Charlie supposed to be wearing the same hat as Dina during that trip? Or maybe was it supposed to be removed from Charlie's head to allow those jumps and Dina put it back on Charlie to come back home

Phil_M

It's kind of like Tip Willikins' s power. Only with broader targeting. And less useful.

David M Willis

actually i only drew one new one for this -- because my existing Sue background is no longer current

Harold

@veggiemail: I don't think there *is* a Dumbiverse Shortpacked! - they may have actually jumped universes there. Remember that Walkyverse Dina only appeared at the very end of SP!, possibly because Willis wanted to bring her back to life. (Maybe an expansion of panel 5 could be next year's April 1 SP! strip, with Dina and the SP! crew seeing each other and becoming confused.)

Pierpaolo Di Camillo

I like this one, really. But I'm a bit sad thinking we lost the opportunity to have Mary in a bonus strip just in time for Halloween.

SkittleE

Nevermind, impressive redacted, I am now at negative impressed

David M Willis

For her it's January, so it couldna been Halloween-themed anyway!

David M Willis

my personal commitment was to reusing as many backgrounds i'd figured i'd never get any use out of again

Constantine Hannaher

This is an extremely niche reaction but the aspect ratio of the panels and the shifts in space (and possibly time, maybe universes) felt so Iconian gateway-coded that I heard the little whooshes of its operation.

SkittleE

Frankly I'm unsubbing and spitting upon you if we never get to see the Sue background again

PotentPinion

This is like a dysfunctional version of Parley/Smitty powers. Or I guess together they make one Parley.

Stathis N.

Shortpacked?!!! :D *love*

Michael Steamweed

If Charlie wore the hat, then they wouldn't be so randomly teleporting around. When Charlie has her focus cap on (be it a dinosaur-hat or a fuckface-hat), then her wave function is stably collapsed, er, focused.

Daibhid Ceannaideach

Like the Discworld joke about the omniscopes: they can show you any point in time and space, and if you're *very* lucky the point they're showing you won't be infinite blackness.

Danielle Giannerini

I thought I recognized my Alma maters middle of the road bell tower

Gale Tazzin

I toured there once, six years ago, and that's the thing I remember most

Edwin I Callahan

I know this is a one off gag and won’t be included as a regular plot point in DOA. But I would love it if it was. I only know Roomies/It’s Walky

Edwin I Callahan

Sorry, I hit the wrong button. I meant I only know Willis’ earlier strips from the archives

Edwin I Callahan

Did it again. The point is I like the goofy, sometimes serious sci-fi carrying one and wish it could make some kind of comeback.

Michael Steamweed

Imagine you are a person who has (1) the superpower to teleport instantly (like in the Jumper series of novels by Gould), and (2) some neurodiverse type like Autism or ADHD. You barely think about going somewhere, teleport there, and then spend some time trying to figure out why the heck you wanted to teleport there.

With their powers combined, they become: Ryoga Hibiki
