I never got that phrase "[X] is dead! Long live [X]!" It sounds self-contradictory.
Well, it's normally done with something like "the King." And Kings have successors, usually also Kings. Sometimes Queens, but most monarchies prefer the male line.
Say Bob is King. Bob dies, now his son, Steve is King. What they're saying is "The King [Bob] is dead! Long live the King [Steve]!"
Suchong is both dead and alive, because the first Suchong passed (and probably several others; the rats seemed to have this well down by now), but there remains a Suchong. May the sun never set on his reign. >.>
Edit: or hers. I never sexed it.

Ah I remember the days of unboxing Commodore 64, and later on my first voodoo graphics card.
I got that way the last time I unboxed a new processor, for that matter. And GTA V. And a parrot. Don't ask me why a parrot was in a box.

Why did Erin turn into Totalbiscuit in the second panel?
Erin may be a little crazy, sometimes even evil, but I don't think she has the level of douchebaggery required to become TotalBiscuit.

Thank you Mrs. Yeisley (senior English, 1986) for forcing me to learn this alternate definition of the word "affect". It was 27 years ago and this is the first time I have made mental note of an actual usage "in the wild". She's probably dead now. And if she is, I'm positive that she rolls in her grave for every "your/you're" misuse on the internet by you insensitive bastards.
You're english teacher wood b proud. >.>
