It depends on what Grundy wanted to accomplish. In “high” german, Hochdeutsch, it would be “oder sieben” (english for “or seven”). If I read this in english pronunciation, “odor seben”is kind of close to some german idioms I know. Barely anyone in germany speaks perfect high german, so why should Opa?
I thought we already gathered she was a nutty ol bint anyway! So my moneys riding on grandpa being in the right here! By the way can I get a copy of that pamphlet =D?
The second panel killed me XD Also yay, misterious sibilngs. I dunno why, but I think the missing one might be a girl. Eliza, maybe? We don’t know shit about her, except for her creepiness. It might be a family tract.
I KNOW!! He’s so cute, and mad, and aweosme! I just want to sit down for a romantic dinner with him, and quitely talk about plans of world domination and experimentation! and sit there in awe of gorgous, beautiful mind!!!!!!!!!!!!
He looks irritated in the way that a middle schooler who can’t get his model car to work right and isn’t getting enough help from his dad would look irritated.
Man, I need to reread this comic…it’s been so long I’ve started forgetting little details, like that Schtein had a sister. Little details matter in a comic like this, yo. unu
I doubt it. Add in the line that his grandpap said to his dad about his sister. + all the powers that seems to be among these kids… and well I fully expect she is a fully competent gal with some horrible power like … being able to steal other people’s intelligence for her own. …
You know how personalities seem to skip generations in a family? Schtein and his Opa are two peas in a horribly mutated mad-science pod. I’m loving Opa.
Email me, my email is listed on the info page. :) It was supposed to auto forward you to the wallpaper page, but apparently does not do that 100% of the time.
“Always with this whiny cry about human experimentation.” I have the same problem at work. I don’t know how they expect things to get done either. We always give our subjects a button so they can opt out too. Is it my fault that they’re under anesthesia and misplace it?
Aw, Opa gave doc a scrapbook! Nothing like some good ol’ evil scientist granfather and grandson bonding over some heartwarming human experimentation.
T … two D:
I hate to be that guy, but it should read “oder” instead of “odor” in the 5th panel. Also, I really like the retro look on the folder cover.

that’s pretty interesting, but no it was just me being a doof. You know the worst part is that I rewrote that panel three times.
crrap! haha, that’s an unfortunate typo. >:P
Hodor!
Haha, Opa Schtein is so Fallout it hurts.
Also, 2 D:
That second panel made me laugh so hard my sides hurt.
… I think I’m falling in love with Orville….. he’s 70 years older than me and I’m falling in love with him
there there, you’re not the only one………………………………
That second panel made my day

That second panel, I’m laff
but TWO?!??!??!? THE FUCK?!
Okay. I like this guy. I like him even more because he’s fiction and can’t do anything in real life.

his sister was a girl, yeah. Not Eliza.
Now give your Opa a kiss, you ungrateful little brat.
Schtein’s mom does have a point though… It’s not like his Opa furnished any preclinical data proof-of-concept…
And these clinical trials weren’t even approved by the FDA. The horror!
Cute horrible mad scientist grandpas :D

Just don’t eat the rissotto.
Maybe if we’re lucky we’ll get a page where Orville has his shirt off too. *shot*

it’s ok it hasn’t been mentioned in a year, and hey, Herv doesn’t know either! :D
I wonder, have we already seen her even though we don’t know it’s her yet though?
I doubt it. Add in the line that his grandpap said to his dad about his sister. + all the powers that seems to be among these kids… and well I fully expect she is a fully competent gal with some horrible power like … being able to steal other people’s intelligence for her own. …
Sound to me like she died due the treatment.
Ops Schtein looks like he’s had enough of everyone’s shit.

I love the German sprinkled throughout Opa’s speech. Love the facial expressions, too. As always, a very nice job, Meestah Grundy.
Snarl lines in Schtein’s nose FTW, wow, you can taste the research and love. What a fantastic page! Is that an incinerator Opa is working at the end?
I couldn’t stop laughing at the second panel. This is why you shouldn’t read String Theory in public. :)
OT: how does one get hold of the fabled donation wallpapers? I’ve donated, but I haven’t found any wallpapers around the place.

Frigging IRBs.
I’m German and these random german words make everything sound incredibly cute in my head xD This comic is so great
I love this…why does it remind me of the Fallout series…I love Grandpa!
