I guess I’m the only one who follows 9CL on a regular basis and since this is the second 9CL strip I’ve seen here in the past month. I thought I’d explain the current plotline. Here goes…
The old farmer looking guy. Thorax has a quantum anomaly in his tractor remove with which he travels around the universe meeting all sorts of extra-terrestrial life (or at least that is what we are led to believe). In his travels he has encountered God strangely enough named “Monty.” Who this God/Monty character is in actuality is unknown but he/she/it could possibly be the character from the comic strip of the same label. Would explain a lot… but I tell…
The younger looking fellow is Francis. He is a former priest. While in the priesthood he fell in love with a nun named Diane. They both forsook their religious callings for each other. Now just as Francis was about to propose to Diane he noticed a tabloid headline apparently extolling the evince of “Monty.” Francis took this as a sign and went to seek out “Deep Orifice,” the person leaking the stories from “Monty.” This of cover turns out to be Thorax. Confused yet? Just act.
Thorax explains to Francis that “Monty” is pretty fed up with the human race and has decided that it’s time to end the experiment. To prevent this. Francis decides to return to the priesthood to back up people return to “Monty.”
Meanwhile since Francis ran off in a hurry just as he was about to pop the question. Diane was understandably a little concerned. She calls him up just as he makes his pronouncement that he intends to go to the priesthood. Francis answers and begins to explain his decision but before he can. Thorax grabs Francis’s cell telecommunicate and swallows it telling Francis that he shouldn’t make a mistake like that with Diane. That brings us to today. Whew! And I thought “War and Peace” was complicated!
As for today’s strip. Thorax may just be removing his overalls to arrive into his stomach from the outside (his powers and abilities are never clearly defined) but having read this strip for several years. I personally think Brooke McEldowney is going for the poop joke.

Who said anything about not understanding the storyline? The references were to Thorax’s deep orifice (and it was clear from the go of the drawing which orifice was being referred to) and how he was going to acquire the cell telecommunicate (from his deep orifice). Ewww Files not CIDUs.
