Pretty sure Doc rocketed off, surfing on the back of a robo-Dracula. Plus the gravity of the moon is less than Earth's gravity.
But that first point, I'll grant you; I missed this page
.
Guess I'm 0 for 2, then, since yeah, he deffo jumped
. Rockets didn't kick in until
later

Moon gravity being lesser than Earth's does make jumping off of it a lot easier, but looking into it, he'd still need to jump at 2.38km/s, a velocity topping the fastest bullets we have today (the .220 Swift at 4,000ft/s, or 1.2192km/s), so...

"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"Does that Jonesy joke put Mcninja in the running as a contender for longest joke setup in a webcomic? (Eight Bit Theater was nine years if I recall correctly.)
It's a bit different from 8-Bit. 8-Bit's joke was a Brick Joke. The setup occurred nine years before the punchline.
This is more like a sly callback reference. It's referencing a gag that was, itself, a complete joke when it first occurred.
My Tumblr. Currently side-by-side liveblogging Digimon Adventure, sub vs dub.The 8-Bit was a Chekhov's Gag bit, too, is the thing.
The joke was complete- Black Mage was reading a Nintendo Power magazine, and commenting on a thing in it, written about the game he's ostensibly in. A simple gag.
Later it turned out to be a set-up for a joke whose punchline came way, way down the line, but it wasn't a "Wait, what's the joke?" [...] "Ohhh." Not really.
Addendum: Or something. I don't really know, the boundary between tropes as defined by the page is different than what I had originally thought, and I might be misinterpreting it, or it might just be poorly put or oversimplified, or any combination of the above.
This is tangential, anyways; actually on-topic, I am enjoying this latest stretch of the arc, so far.

Mostly does better things now. Key word mostly. Writes things, but you'll never find them. Or you can ask.How did he... oh, never mind. Logic was out to lunch the minute Doc defeated Ronald McBonald with a mime-weapon.
I have to admit, that's a neat way to tie up the Dracula subplot.

"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"It's weirdly appropriate for DSP to kill Dracula, given that in the bad future, DSP was aping his style.

I thought that Dracula wasn't deathly allergic to sunlight in the book; he just couldn't use all his cool vampire superpowers if it was sunny out (Shapeshifter Mode Lock, apparently). Heck, apparently his only real relationship between time-of-day and weakness was sunset and sunrise.
