very tidy work skeletor

2 | Xerro says:

lol i found this comic funny mainly becos of MC's pose in the third comic. Good drawing of the light panel thing. And the joke was also funny. Can't wait till next weeks comic

3 | Shaship says:

i don't get it?

4 | DARKNESS says:

i dont get it too

5 | flamedude says:

watch Contact

6 | Funkmon says:

Ahh...a somewhat inside joke...funny for people who know what you're talking about...

7 | Kanman-075 says:

This one also has me confused. I don't get it. But, uh... good artwork Gruntsbane!

8 | Mintz08 says:

The "poet" line is (kinda) from the movie Contact, like flamedude said.
Great comic!

9 | Wannabe Sgt. Johnson says:

Me sort off get it now (me never seen movie contact). me still love artwork. me cant wait until next Halo Babies comic!!......oh, and Chief finally found the brig, what an idiot. Im supprised he new what panel to touch and what cell his partner was in on first try!!

10 | Miguel says:

my guess: he's looking at a mirror. :)

11 | Elite leader says:

Wort? I dont get it...

12 | Scott-087 says:

0_o? ...i dont get it...

13 | gaer says:

I don't ge it either

14 | Stuntmutt says:

Congratulations on 50 strips gentlemen. Here's to many more.

15 | some guy says:

very nice..cant wait for 51!

16 | ansomble28 says:

lol, I thought this strip was funny because it was just kind of kooky. YES, I said it, KOOKY!!! muaHAHAHAHA! The drawings are excellent as usual and congrats on the 50th. HOORAY!

17 | Dr.Nightfall says:

It could always be because the other Spartan on the Pillar of Autumn (where DO they get those names?!) was FEMALE...

But still, nice work. Keep going, Lads!

18 | shorty says:

it could always be a cliff? no did not think so. but poets are always writing about those. or maybe a gun or laser sword. or new armor it could be anything

19 | Gold Elite says:

Hey, I think it's sorta like the suitcase in Pulp Fiction too.

20 | vladimir says:

Best that I can tell it is similar to, if not exactly, the line from Contact. The only reason I know this is because the same line is used in the game Starcraft, by the Archon unit.
Also, good comic, made me laugh.

21 | Gruntsbane says:

Just to clarify: yes the line is from the movie contact but no, it's not really an inside joke. He's just looking at something that's really, really incredibly good-looking. And no, it's not Derek Zoolander.

22 | Vigoorian (I'm also Curious Grunt & Torque) says:

Hmm, I wonder who our mystery guy will be in the next comic!

23 | melmk2k says:

Hey guys,
Nice comic GB! Speeking of movies, I have always called Grunts "Ooglie Fooglies", has anyone seen Spy Kids?

24 | Shaship says:

I still don't get it?????

25 | SParTan 199 says:

it's cool and yet confusing

26 | David says:

Lol! I love it!

That was an excellent qoute from Family Guy. Good job! I can hardly wait to see him! :D

27 | Ray says:

Your comics are really great and i really apreciate the effort you put in to them. ------Ray

28 | TheDarkOne says:

I dont get it?

29 | Spartan_169 says:

OMG!!!! That was great...mainly because I read this right after I watched contact....

30 | bob master says:

hey watch "contact" and it will make more sense. once again, guys...great job on the awsomeness

31 | SPARTAN 117 says:

He must has seen a gold plated assult rifle or a antique Harvey davidson Ghost

32 | John_The_Spartan says:

i dont get it

33 | Shas'ui says:

watch Contact the movie

34 | Guest #9999999 says:

You do realize that sending a poet would jeapordize the mission... right?

Also, wouldn't Spartans be really pale? Plus, how does a Spartan remove his armor?

Questions must be answered!

35 | Gruntish elite says:

LOL! That made me laugh! I just watched Contact at my BF's house. I like his pose. Is the new Spartan a really hot girl or something? Or maybe it's the new Halo 2 armor! LOL! Yay go Gruntsbane!

PS I might have some more fanart in later on. I did a picture of MC in the halo 2 armor and he looks like a bobble-head!

36 | RON ZUKENNE the elite says:

Only people who watch contact will get this one.

37 | The GRUNT 1000 says:

ummmm i really don't get it!
someone explain it to me!
but great comic anyway

38 | haloelite says:

DOn't know, but I think the mystery P.O.W is a Spartan

39 | no_117 says:

Why didnt they insert a heavenly voice of some kind? It should sing "God save the chief"! LOL!

40 | red elite says:

eww dats cool

41 | MC0096 says:

Vladmir, what do you mean the Archons say that. I haven't heard regular nor Dark Archons say that. I've heard Zeratul say that but not Archons. Great work Halo Babies crew!!!! Keep it up!!!

42 | cpl. Harland says:

it was weird.

43 | mike says:

awww whats he look like whats he look like whats he look like?? :-D cant wait to see him, what color do you guys think he is? I say orange, and if I'm right...then w0000t....or maybe purple, although it doesnt clash with the backround...:-P :-P :-P

44 | Grunty says:

Dr.nightfall There was only one living Spartan on the pillar of autumn and haloelite you are an idiot.of course it's a spartan what did you think they were talking about for the past oh i don't know uh 6 strips?

45 | keti 'kotaree says:

hmm

46 | Seargent_Big says:

You know, all the people saying "I don't get it, explain it to me" should read through the comments already made.
In starcraft, you can get an archon to say "They should have brought a poet" by clicking on him a number of times.
I, personaly, didn't find that funny, but only because I haven't seen Contact.

47 | Fred-104 says:

Nice one guys. It wasnt as funny because I didnt see cantat but that cleared it all up. GOOD JOB GUYS. Keep it up please.

48 | Fred-104 says:

*contact. sorry

49 | Mr. Grunt says:

I don't get it-then again grunts don't get alot of things...
Maybe the thing is Linda who was in cryo and she rose from the dead...

50 | The GRUNT 1000 says:

whos linda again??? anyway uhhh... I still dont get it...."grunts do not get alot of things"!
HELP ME!!!

51 | Mr Grunt says:

Linda was the other Spartan that was kept in the pillar of autum. She was in another cryo thing.

52 | Mr.Grunt says:

She was badly injured. Everyone thought she was gonna die but in First Strike by Eric Nylund Dr Hasley fixes her and she LIVES!

53 | cannon fodder says:

Um, first, watch FAMILY GUY. Then watch Contact where the quote first came from. After being bored out of you mind from Contact, Watch FAMILY GUY again to cleanse your brain. Then read the strip and laugh.

54 | red elite says:

it was a good comic

55 | Suka 'Ramamee says:

What??? Get me surveillance for that cell, who the hell is he looking at?

...

Woah.

56 | P1ro says:

Why the hell to the Elites always say "Wort"? Please explain what it means and why. Also good work Gruntsbane.

57 | Insane Master Chief says:

P1ro- Go to HBO. All the Elite sounds are Sarge saying something, with the pitch adjusted and played backwards. Some guy on HBO figured it out. "Wort,Wort,Wort" was "Go,Go,Go".
Gruntsbane-Good comic, I posted this on 2/2/05 as I've been working my way through the comics in order for 2 days now. Would have finished very quickly, but I like reading the comments. I now know who it's gonna be as I've got Halo 2 and the title of your next comic is "Mark VI Vanities". Keep up the good work! Wort, Wort, Wort!

58 | Hellsing says:

like almost all 57 of the people who responded.... What the hell just happend?

59 | Doubl3 H3lix says:

HA HA that was the point.

60 | master chief says:

do elites eat people?

61 | Doubl3 H3lix says:

YEs

62 | Masterchief evil says:

LOL!!!!

63 | QueenGhid says:

Wow, awesome job in the last panel! You somehow got that impassive helmet to register that the Master Chief was wide-eyed in awe! Marvelous!

64 | Ultra Elite says:

Mister Chief isn't so pretty!!!

65 | kraid17 says:
