The bald head and facial hair match, too. Laundry time?

[murgatroyd_666]

My guess is that the off-stage Frightening Thing is some eldritch horror, rugose and squamous and loathsome.

[tagryn]

My guess would be "tidal wave," based on the expression and the need to get inland quickly. But they're also being searched for, so it could also be something intentional that flushed them off the sea...

Something from the great cetaceans?

My other reaction is of course, "Monday: Meanwhile, in Paris" or "Monday: This is the first strip of our holiday special!"

Plausible, very plausible.

Tsk! Such cynicism!

You're almost certainly correct.

[turbobeholder]

Or other sea dwellers. Yeah. Since it was specifically said to be near the very center of insanity zone.

[madfilkentist]

Perhaps Vapnoople or Snackleford leading an attack from the Dungeon Dimensions? That Chekhov's Gun has been waiting quite a while.

[turbobeholder]

Too soon.

[marycatelli]

Sea serpent or eel is possible. VERY LONG if so.

[turbobeholder]

The best laid schemes o' Uplifted Rats an' Men…

[bunsen_h]

What are the odds that Lieutenant Stross comes to a messy end?

[occams_pyramid]

Apparently a - large - number of people have told Charlie about this :-)
