Mythbusters
Even though Luke uses words like ‘bro’ and ‘dude’ a lot, I always sort of pictured him as a bit of a mad genius. I watched a rerun of Mythbusters recently (I love that show) and they tackled the famed solar death ray that Archimedes supposedly used to annihilate a Roman fleet. I was immediately struck by a revelation… Luke would absolutely build this thing! Here was my chance to show Luke’s aptitude for invention. Nothing like a little welding in your den.
Next strip: The doctor is IN!
Don’t forget to share Tripp with your pals and vote for it at the blue Topwebcomics icon! Doing so will keep Francis from stealing your bike! The Coco Valentine’s Day incentive is up for a few more days so see it while you can!

He could put a hole in the ceiling? It’d suck if there’s rain… but at least the solar ray would work.
Time to build some skylights.
I seem to recall that episode of Mythbusters ending with a verdict of ‘busted’.
Luke was making modifications. Maybe he can turn it into a grill or something.
Put it on a humongous subway system with a lift to reach the surface where needed.
He might just have to file this one under, ‘Hey, I tried.’
heh, Proxy: “It totally OK, it will work great when this wall isn’t here… uh, wait, what’d I say?”
I would have liked to have seen if it worked or not. Is Luke a mad genius? Or just stoned and bored?
Team Tripp has a new weapon of mass failure on it’s side… least until they can get it outside and get it to move…
I think they’ll chalk this one up as a failure at the outset.

That’s exactly what he’s going for!
Just buy “The Torch” from Wicked Lasers. It burns human flesh in 15 seconds!
Whoa! *Runs off to look it up
I probably should have mentioned that it’s the world’s most powerful flashlight. :/
Haha, I’d guess so.
There are reasons each episode begins with:
“Please don’t do what you see us do at home. We’re what you call experts.”
This is one of them.
I really do love that show but it does make me want to experiment with things I have no business experimenting with.
