Pretty much all fiction (TV, movie, books, radio, comics) ignores the problem of “where to go to the toilet” when characters are captured, tied up, or otherwise enclosed…..
I sure hope it’s a MSR Pocket Rocket or a Jetboil and not a white gas camp stove. It’s not as if he’s at 20,000+ feet. For some odd reason I could imagine him with a Dragonfly.
This one does seem to be “coming out of left field.” I’ve been wondering if maybe a comic got skipped somehow, especially since tomorrow’s comic is identical to today’s.
I hear the train a comin’
It’s rollin’ ’round the bend,
And I ain’t seen the sunshine,
Since, I don’t know when,
I’m stuck in Kickstand Cyclery,
And time keeps draggin’ on,
But that train keeps a-rollin’,
On down to San Antone.
He won’t escape her.
BTW: Bike Ninja’s first apperance in http://www.yehudamoon.com/index.php?date=20080126
- having a close look, I think, Rick has got Sprocket beeing the Ninja in mind at that early stage of the comic.
An estimated 10,000 shipping containers fall overboard every year. Most sink. A few continue to float to become hazards to all sorts of ships & boats. The air tight containers or those full of buoyant cargo have a better chance of floating. Lets hope Yehuda didn’t pick an air tight coffin for the 2 day ride to Lost Wages.
I guess when you go to Interbike, you never get to leave – sort of a “Hotel California” thing. So sad it’s over – but I have the printed books to remind me of all the fun evenings eagerly getting my “fix”.
I hope there’s a tollet in there…
I hope we don’t get to find out!
Must be room for one in Yehuda’s Bag-of-Holding.
A porta-potti would go in and he could empty it when outside the container!

or just in general if it’s Star Wars. also no sneezing/ tissues. i guess there are no allergens in space?
shipping container is pretty much a boxcar and i hate to tell you the convention is to camp at one end and soil at the other.
I thought they just hung outside to do that?
wtf?
re: “wtf?”
~He’s shipping himself to Vegas for interbike.
Presumably this is Yehuda travelling to Interbike by train? Like a real old fashioned hobo!
Yup, check out the title of this strip: “To Interbike in Style“
It is in style because, what you don’t see is him pedaling on his training rollers to Interbike
camp stove + enclosed space = bad idea
good bye yehuda.

He IS a Rivendell fanatic. I’m sure it’s a (denatured alchohol) Trangia.
Or an Esbit.
This is Yehuda, so it’s either a Svea 123 or a Trangia.
Or a home-made penny stove
Yeah, I’d bet on the Svea. Hasn’t he had enough problems with fire?
‘Goodbye pork pie’ anyone?
Non sequitur, anyone?
Oops…Rick, no title…can we have a hint?
Not an oops. Some days the comments generate the title.
It did today – ‘to Interbike by train’

Yehuda dies from CO poisoning. Now the name change from Yehuda Moon and the Kickstand Cyclery to Kickstand Comics makes perfect sense.
RIP Yehuda Moon. Long live the Kickstand.
Maybe he has a canary in his bag of holding?
He is just going to a show and heroes in comics never die, else ‘Roadrunner’ would have been a short run!
Anyone else think it’s ironic that Yehuda Moon is traveling in a steel cage?
He is fleeing the Bike Ninja. Wonder how long this road trip will continue? Bob
He won’t escape her.

That’s a good observation. I just noticed the eyelashes!
Just wait till the sun comes out…. you won’t need the stove then.
yes an unisulated metal box will be lovely going through the desert

I don’t think he has to worry about drowning in the desert…
Hey, about about a Yehuda lookalike get together at Interbike? Will Rick Smith be there to autograph and sell copies of the Kickstand Cyclery books?
Last?
We’ll meet again.

when he gets time to draw some more comics.
Yehuda never gets to Interbike. He spends eternity in a dark shipping container. Can it be?
It’s Gilligan’s Island all over again.
Thank you Rick & Brian – I’ll miss that daily dose of your charm and wit. Best wishes for success in your next endeavor.
Thank you Rick & Brian for the bike toons and funnies, best to you.
