Author's Notes:

Wow, the Captain and his Tomb Raiders are really whizzing through those dangerous trials that the trap-happy natives have set up to protect their precious treasure (whatever that may be). They have narrowly escaped being poked by centuries-old needles and spears twice now. Except for Bellfont, who got a back-full of rusty darts last week (his nickname might be "Lockjaw" in the near future).

This week, the Captain used the same brand of ingenious solution to the Rubik's Cube that I always did as a kid: cheat! Those stupid things are so annoying anyway! If I felt so inclined, I would peel the stickers off and rearrange them the correct way. Obviously, there were no stickers back then, so the Captain just disassembled it! Those things are hard to take apart, though, so how he did that is the real mystery. Will they make it to the treasure solely on their dumb luck? or will that luck run out? Find out more next week!

I just realized that any of you that aren't lucky enough to remember the 80's might not actually know what a Rubik's Cube is! Check it out on Wikipedia to enhance your understanding of today's comic!
