Explanation[edit | edit source]

This is a comic I made a few years back, based on the infamous "Knocking-Odie-Into-Next-Week" comic. I tried to cram as many references as I could into this one, which tells the story of Odie's journey during the week he was knocked away.

Original strip: 1984-07-02.
