I am so glad this has never happened to me.
I wish desperately that this would happen to me.
I thought that was Mike for a second.
What does it say about me that I saw a guy pissing and immediately thought ‘Mike’?
Heh, I thought the same thing.
I concur! It’s the shape of the hair silhouette/lighting/whatevers.
@David: this strip is win! XD
Hooray, I’m not alone.
No, obviously Mike pees black. You know, to match his soul.
So most souls are yellow/clear?
No. We thought of Mike because piss that glows in the dark = superpowers.
Well, that’s what happens when you eat too much JaAm.
You aren’t supposed to wear your power ring on that part of your body!
Sez you.
In brightest day, in blackest night,
No toilet shall escape my sight!
Let those who worship evil’s might,
Beware my urine… Green Lantern’s light!
+1
I agree.
I thought it was Mike too…
Who has a split toilet seat at home?! And if he’s not pissing at home, why is it dark?
What? That toilet looks pretty much like every house toilet I’ve ever seen.
Maybe it’s a NE USA thing. Our toilet seats do not have that gap in the front. Ours are shaped like the letter “O” not the letter “U”. Only public toilets have that shape. Hell, you can’t even buy “U” shaped tooilet seats at Wal*Mart.
I did indeed laugh out loud. Most of the time I have SOME sort of idea what the punchline might be, but this caught me totally from left field.
Nice and disturbing.
Kinda like that open window.
Ah, sorry, dunno why this replied to you? It was just ment as a general comment?
When first viewing this comic, I thought it was only two panels. The room being two story and a localized green glow. If the intent is 3, then maybe something to break up the black in the future?
…Dude…Top curtain’s blue, bottom is green.
Point One: Don’t you think that if it was two stories a lil green would show on the first one?
Point Two: Since when is a two story bathroom a common occurrence?
Point Three: -__- See point two.
Point Four: *Sigh* Good suggestion. But you understood the comic for what it was meant to be…eventually. So why is there any need to change it?
Point Five: A better way to go about your comment could be:
“Hell no I didn’t think that bathroom was two stories, but for the sake of a poor sap that might, I think you should make the division between panels more obvious! Bitch!”
Then proceed to swagger around like you’re The Shit©.
The only reason the curtain is green in the second panel is because the glowing urine is making it that color. It’s still “blue” (or whatever real color it is since it’s dark and we can’t really see the primary choice, yes?).
And I have seen a two story bathroom before. Granted, it was at an opera house and not somebodies real abode… but there might be at least a couple places out there that could have such a feature.
… … Lords know that my neighbor up in WA. could’ve used all the windows possible in his. >_<
– a.o.t.8.
Hahaha, my bad, i meant to say a lil green would show on the “second story”. First curtain in the comic, or the “second story”. Sorry, i guess I wasn’t clear by saying “first one”.
Eh, I made the same mistake at first, too.
I was in a used/ old toy shop a few months ago, when I overheard something similar, but more worrying:
“Look at these 90′s X-Men toys! They’re all puke blue!”
Nothing from your body should ever be blue…
You clearly don’t see enough tampon/pad commercials. Everyone knows women leak a blue liquid that resembles windshield wiper fluid from their feminine place (whatever that is) every month, which makes them mad and unable to dance or pet their cat.
Hahaha! Everyone knows women aren’t people!
(SARCASM)
You absolutely win with this comment. *ded*
He got it from Cracked, so don’t be too impressed.
http://www.cracked.com/article_18496_the-6-most-baffling-things-every-tv-ad-assumes-are-true_p2.html
True and false. True, I got the wiper fluid part from the article, but the fact that they use a blue liquid to demonstrate the absorbing abilities of diapers/pads/towels/ect always seemed weird to me (I just never thought “wiper fluid” when I saw it). So about 99% of that was from Cracked, the last 1% is all me.
There is actually a good reason for that. Initially people were concerned about a few things requiring a blue liquid to be used instead of a clear, yellow, or in the case of feminine products…red one.
1: No one wanted to see something resembling piss or blood.
2: There were worries a light yellow or clear liquid would be hard to see.
3: Blue showed up well on “absorbent” materials fine even in black and white, so the decision was made to use it.
Is it just me, or does the window resemble a spooky eye in these panels? I’m not going to be able to sleep tonight because I’ll be thinking of the window watching me… waiting…
Well damn. Now I can’t unsee it.
I keep trying to think of something witty to say involving radiation. I keep thinking that maybe he was born near Three Mile Island or Chernobyl. But no matter how I try, it won’t be funny.
Oh well.
And now that someone’s said it, those windows will haunt me.
He was bitten by a radioactive toilet.
Two gallons of RadAway should take care of that.
(Too PCGamey for the site?)
Well, I have no idea what youre talking about, so maybe.
This is why I don’t drink Nuka-Cola Quantum (that and they’re rare). Anyone else have a Fallout reference.
So that’s how the Toilenator was born…
I was born near Three Mile Island and my piss is blue as anyone else’s.
You know what’s worse? Turn you head sideways and look at the windows. Malevolence!
Turn you head sideways and look at the windows. It’s a suprise cameo from The Cheese.
I just wish mine glowed. I really don’t care about the color.
Lol. Classic Shortpacked!
All I can think of is that my daughter had her radioactive iodine treatment today…
and she needs to use a separate bathroom from the rest of us for the next 5 days, becase yes, it’s expelled that way!
I thought it was Walky. At first glance, it looked like his hands were on his hips and I thought, “Only Walky would stand at the toilet so casually, watching his glow-in-the-dark urine!”
Although, upon further consideration, I think Walky would be waayy more excited about it. Or eating Nachitos.
I do believe that the colloquialism my Mother would use instead is “Baby Shit Green”… but that Batman is far too neon for that.
Heard asparagus can cause a green stream (with the vegetable’s smell, too)… but, again, that urine is far too neon for that.
Most of the good jokes have been taken. Is Spawn still relevant? Then I’ll take that angle and say:
“Wow. I know that Spawn’s a destitute anti-hero and everything, but having random sex with dudes for money and spreading his necro-powered STD? – not cool.”
…
… …
Yeah, that was lame. =(
– agent_of_the_8.
ooooo! A Spawn joke! woot! To bad that comic ended with issue 100.
*plugs ears*
LALALALALAL!
ENDED AT 100!
Ha, very awesome, and very nice timing since I found the Aquaman/Black Manta 2-pack today and was nearly blinded by the very bright green used for Aquaman’s legs and gloves.
He just drank some green colored Nuka-Cola Quantum
I’m just now talking to the woman that gives you the “Nuka Cola Challenge” in Fallout 3. When she mentioned that Quantum makes your pee glow I had to pause the game and look for this strip.
Another joke lifted from the Allspark forums? Hmm… I wonder, can a internet web forum sue for copyright infringement?

Comparing any vaguely yellow-related color you dislike to urine is a fairly common pastime in TF fandom, actually.
Regardless, this posting clearly was the inspiration for this comic & this isn’t the first time this has happened. (The poster, ItsWalky! is David Willis, after all.)
Hence my joke about the prospect of Copywrite infringement. (Yes, that was a joke. I’m not all that funny, so its an easy thing to miss.)
TOTALLY thought it was Mike.
So did I – the precise thought that snapped to mind was, “So _that’s_ his abductee power? Who’da thunk it?”
Eh, looks like he’s just been drinking a lot of wheatgrass juice.
That man has Kryptonite poisoning.
That would be the most disgusting fetish Superman villain ever.
Lois: “Watch out Superman! It’s Golden Shower! A former piss-fetish porn star who was tainted by Kryptonite! His Kryptonite laced urine could kill you!”
The only thing that would be more disturbing is if Superman were into that sort of thing… ew.
I need some of whatever he’s been drinking!
Congrats on getting CIDU’ed on this.
I saw this last night and laughed. I came back just now and could swear the first panel was animated till I looked at the file type.
i soo want this as a POSTER
HOLY SHIT NINJA BATMAN
Oh God, I can’t stop laughing, my sides hurt
I had this green piss thing happen to me at a hotel this weekend! I freaked out, wondering what I had eaten. Then I noticed that they had one of those tablets in the tank that turns the water bluish. I’m not radioactive yet.
I am doing research for my college thesis, thanks for your great points, now I am acting on a sudden impulse.

Irradiated bladder?
Whew! It’s such a relief to know that this happens to other people, too . . . oh wait, this is a comic. Well, shit.
Mr. Owl, can one urinate a fluid that glows in the dark by consuming a GITD fluid?
Well, lil Dave, let’s find out; ignoring the safety health hazards warranted by consuming what is usually a China based toxic waste, you -could- pee a GITD urine if you chose to consume the material and lived to tell the tale.
However! * Mr. Owl now dons another pair of glasses to look extra technical * It is most regrettable that when you do “shoot the whale in the eye”, it will NOT be glowing should you do so in the dark.
But why, Mr. Owl? I thought you said-
WHO THE FUCK DO YOU THINK YOU’RE TALKING TO HOO HOOT. Anyways, most GITD materials requires light to gather the chemical reaction to generate a faint glow, and while you may think your bladder is a pocket full of sunshine, you cannot accomplish what is said without siphoning up a bright light up through your urethra.
Mr. Owl, what is a ur-
The world may never know, kid.
