Giant monsters?! Yet another movie reference in this mini story. This one might not be so obvious since it’s from a flick that not a lot of folks have seen called “Pacific Rim”. I liked this movie, and its sequel, which had some really impressive giant monster/robot fight scenes.
What’s hilarious about this strip – to me – is the idea that “boats” are in peril. Initially the dialogue was “all life on Earth”. When I limited it to just “boats”… Not even ships… Just boats… It cracked me up. It seemed like something a kid Luna’s age would say.
Speakin’ of movies, check out this strip parodying a different monster flick…
