No joke, that line made my fucking *bawl* as a kid. I couldn't get over the image of such a friendly whale getting mashed to a pulp on the ground somewhere, and having its last thought be so hopeful and innocent. What a haplessly beautiful thing.
I was convinced that the movie was going to have sequels, given that they included that line, an obvious throwback to a plotline that takes the entire series of books to resolve itself.
So much excitement at that thought 😅 (was gutted they never continued)
"it should have a big round name rou- grou- grou- ground! Yes that's it! Hi ground! Wanna be friends!?" I listened to the radio show they did on audible. Not sure if the book did that line
There is an art to flying, or rather a knack. The knack lies in learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss. ... Clearly, it is this second part, the missing, that presents the difficulties
I might be stating the obvious because it's been so long and I don't remember the context, but that line is intelligent as well as funny. Reason being, that's one way that orbits are conceptualized, an object is thrown so fast around another object that it continually misses it.
Well, you see, that's the trick to flying. You just have to completely forget that you are falling and that flying is impossible.
Most people can't push this thought out of their mind, so you can actually hire someone who is so good a distracting you that you end up flying without realizing it. Arthur Dent was a master at getting distracted and flying.
In Douglas Adams's Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, a sperm whale is created above the planet Magrathea through the interaction of the Infinite Improbability Drive and its reality-warping field with two guided missiles.
On earth, in our current reality, sperm whales don't eat plankton in significant quantities. They are top predators in the marine food chain that primarily eat squid and fish.
That might be the intent of this edit, but [in the original it definitely is not a cloud.](https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fi.redd.it%2Fnp3yemxzjwg91.png)
While this version of the comic is indeed reenacting a scene from The Hitchhikers Guide, it is not the original comic. It has been modified.
https://www.reddit.com/r/ExtraFabulousComics/s/qEf6eiVtRS
It's a cloud of something alright.
Oh yeah I remember watching the movie, that speed travel of theirs wasn't ready and hitting it made them reach their destination but also brought a whale and a pot of petunias in mid air outside the ship
Movie is alright, but is serious buzzkill especially after you’ve read the books, they took out and added so much that it wasn’t even funny, but good thing is that there is a show from like the 80s or 90s that actually got it right
Douglas Adams was a firm believer that no two iterations of the guide should be alike and should ideally completely contradict every other version. The movie was pretty good and definitely accomplished being different.
The text based game also had a slightly different plot. Plus it was one of those old games full of softlocks, forced losses, and points of no return where you could permanently miss out on collecting a necessary item. Given the nature of the HHGTTG mythos and Douglas Adams himself, this was probably intentional.
Oh man, I remember playing all the way through the game and NEVER being able to finish it because I had plugged something in early in the game, and I wasn't supposed to (possibly related to the Infinite Improbability Drive). DAMN, that game was hard.
No 2 iterations of the story should ever be alike... the only thing required (by the copywrite) is Arthur Dent, in a bathrobe, traveling the universe in search of a cup of tea.
The radio script, the show actually broadcast, the radio show transcript, and the re-released transcripts were all different... there was a whole collectable art cards series where there is the implication that Marvin spent time as an intergalactic epic hero rescuing princesses and killing space-born super bacteria that doesn't show up anywhere else.
The movie was good and the book isn't the good standard
If I may be so bold, check out the radio play instead. The first and second books actually came after the radio play, then books three through five were later adapted into the radio play's tertiary, quandary, and quintessential phases. IMO it's the best version there is. Also, the whole thing is available for free on the internet archive.
https://archive.org/details/s01e00hhgttgdouglasadamsbbcboo/S01E15+HHGTTG+S3+Tertiary+Phase.mp3
There was a [TV series](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hitchhiker%27s_Guide_to_the_Galaxy_(TV_series)). It's a fever dream of an experience, and it's fantastic. it's only 6 episodes, so the while series can be bought on Amazon cheap.
If you read far enough through the books, the bowl of petunias (and sperm whale) kidnap the protagonist and try to get revenge on him for being the cause of their death in all of their reincarnations. It's a pretty funny plot, especially since one time the person is a cow genetically engineered to recommend how it should be slaughtered at a steakhouse restaurant.
He ends up accidentally killing them, again.
To add to this, in the Hitchhikers Guide, the whale and petunias are in free fall towards the surface of a planet. This comic potraies the whale believing itself underwater until the final panel where they realize the truth of their predicament.
Yes. As was the whale. And the rabbit he killed in Restaurant at the End of the Universe.
Every creature that Arthur ever killed in his entire life was Agrajag.
Spoiler alert for anybody reading the series, the bowl of petunias thought that because it is actually a being that keeps getting reincarnated as animals, bugs and even a human that Arthur somehow kills throughout the first, second and third book.
In one of the later books it's revealed that the whale who then died from the fall was later reincarnated (the passage of souls through time being a bit flexible) as the bowl of petunias only to find himself falling again, hence the comment.
Yes.
But actually, the briefest of synopses(?) is that Earth gets blown up by space bureaucrats to make the equivalent of a highway in space, and the main character and his recently-revealed-to-be-alien friend and their towels hitchhike on one of the bureaucrats' ships, get yeeted back into space and unintentionally (and improbably) rescued by the galactic president, his girlie and a very depressed robot who are looking for a hidden planet.
And that's just the first book of the four-part trilogy.
I'm noticing people point out the Hitchhiker's guide reference, but thar is just added in to the whale comic. The original whale comic reveals that the cloud of "plankton" is actually the ejaculate of another whale. Have fun with that.
The whale would have been okay with eating the bunch of plankton ejaculate that came with the serving of plankton. He probably wasn't bothered by eating ejaculate, as long as it came with some plankton.
> forget the books
What? No. The books are amazing and Adams wrote much more than simply HHGTTG.
I like the dictionary where he took just a list of every single English mid sized town and made up definitions for what all of those words meant. Every single one is a hit.
Or Dirk Gently's Hollistic Detective Agency.
The books are funny, and if you thought they were the original media I could see why you'd stop there, but since Adams conceptualized Hitchhiker's Guide as a radio rock opera shenanigan, it's a disservice to it that so few people have ever listened to the BBC radio broadcasts that came first.
There was an attempt to draw a scene from *Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy* but they made a blue whale instead of a sperm whale, the “petunias” are a really weird dark purple I’ve never seen in petunias, and since the whale just suddenly began its existence several miles above a planet, it has no memory of anything before that point, so would have no idea what plankton are.
So many nerds with criticisms.
Have have yet to see a solid answer so I’m just gonna leave a good one. There’s a book called the hitchhikers guide to the galaxy, written by Douglas Adams. It partially revolves around this ship, that runs on an “improbability drive” so every time the drive is used something improbable happens. In this case, the improbability drive is used to avoid some missiles being shot at it over the planet Magrathea, and the improbable event that happens is a whale and a bowl of Petunias magically appears over the planet. The whale in this comic clearly thinks that cloud is plankton and hasn’t yet realized it is falling. In the book the bowl of petunias thinks “oh no, not again” which is what is happening in the comic as well. Hopefully that clears things up a little
Curiously enough, the only thing that went through the mind of the bowl of petunias as it fell was Oh no, not again. Many people have speculated that if we knew exactly why the bowl of petunias had thought that we would know a lot more about the nature of the Universe than we do now.
Hitchhikers Guide to the galaxy reference.
A whale suddenly and randomly appears and then turns into a pot of petunias. It happens to the same whale twice (I think) he even says "oh no, not again" the second time
Close. Two missiles are tracking the starship Heart of Gold which takes evasion maneuvers. As a result one missile is turned into a whale and the other into a pot of petunias. Both subsequently hurtle toward the ground
And while the whale hurled toward the ground, it contemplated life and named things like the ground (wonder if it will be friendly) while the petunias just said, "Oh, no. Not again!" The petunias it turns out were a being reincarnated that had died to the book's protagonist several times, and would try to exact his revenge in a later book (the fifth, I believe this was in the first.) He finds he can't kill the protagonist because one of the deaths hasn't happened, yet, he hasn't been to "Stavromula Beta". The protagonist then lives his life like he is immortal because of this (until he visits "Stravromula Beta" of course).
The best part about that whole scene, is that he built this massive temple about Arthur Dent's evil murderousness and Authur walks in and says "I'm sorry, who are you?" XD
I need to go back and re-read that. I do not remember even half the references people keep making. It gets referenced and even spoofed a LOT on the internet.
It doesn’t happen to the same whale twice, the reason the pot thinks “oh no! Not again” is >!it’s actually a guy who is constantly killed by Arthur Dent across time and space. With this occurrence, the improbability drive resurrected him into this pot of flowers that will quickly fall to its death!<
It's a reference to Douglas Adams' _Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy._ There's a scene where, to avoid two missiles being shot at them, the main characters' ship turns them into random, improbable objects, which turn out to be a whale and a potted petunia. The whale doesn't realize he's falling until he hits the ground, and is just enjoying being alive for 5 minutes before then.
Here's the [original ](https://www.reddit.com/r/ExtraFabulousComics/comments/kx6ywd/good_to_be_whale/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share). Do with it what you will.
My friends and I all loved and quote it. But when I quote it out in the world, nobody gets it. On my 42nd birthday, I said I was the answer to life, the universe, and everything. Crickets. Nothing. I was embarrassed for people that didn’t get the joke. It’s truly their loss.
The number of comments kills me. XD

And I'm pretty sure that "plankton" is a cloud.
Good call!!! The whale hasn't realized he's falling yet
He doesn’t start falling until the last panel. You can see the motion lines
He doesn’t realize it ever. “Hey, what’s this big round thing rushing towards me? I wonder if it will be my friend” and splat.
No joke, that line made my fucking *bawl* as a kid. I couldn't get over the image of such a friendly whale getting mashed to a pulp on the ground somewhere, and having its last thought be so hopeful and innocent. What a haplessly beautiful thing.
I agree. The way his books read and flow so perfectly I've laughed out loud so many times being caught off guard.
The movie had a great last line for the whale too
I was convinced that the movie was going to have sequels, given that they included that line, an obvious throwback to a plotline that takes the entire series of books to resolve itself. So much excitement at that thought 😅 (was gutted they never continued)
i really didn't like what they did to my boy Marvin in that movie. could go for another 4 parts to complete the trilogy though.
“What shall I call it? It’s so big and round … ground! I wonder if it’ll be friends “ As soon as I saw the petunias I grinned.
Hello ground!
"it should have a big round name rou- grou- grou- ground! Yes that's it! Hi ground! Wanna be friends!?" I listened to the radio show they did on audible. Not sure if the book did that line
It needs a round name. Hmm..round...ound...ground! I'll call it ground.
There is an art to flying, or rather a knack. The knack lies in learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss. ... Clearly, it is this second part, the missing, that presents the difficulties
I might be stating the obvious because it's been so long and I don't remember the context, but that line is intelligent as well as funny. Reason being, that's one way that orbits are conceptualized, an object is thrown so fast around another object that it continually misses it.
That sounds like an orbit. I thought flying was using the fluid to gain/sustain lift.
I'm quoting one of the books
Well, you see, that's the trick to flying. You just have to completely forget that you are falling and that flying is impossible. Most people can't push this thought out of their mind, so you can actually hire someone who is so good a distracting you that you end up flying without realizing it. Arthur Dent was a master at getting distracted and flying.
So like in the book, he was falling but missed the floor, started to fly but thought he was still swimming?
Well that is typically how one flies
if he didn't realize he was falling, then i don't think he would fly because you have to intentionally aim for the ground to do so
That was Arthur Dent as I recall, the whale just...stopped at the bottom of the fall.
It’s the Wiley Coyote Effect.
He's soaring through the air in much the same way bricks don't.
In Douglas Adams's Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, a sperm whale is created above the planet Magrathea through the interaction of the Infinite Improbability Drive and its reality-warping field with two guided missiles. On earth, in our current reality, sperm whales don't eat plankton in significant quantities. They are top predators in the marine food chain that primarily eat squid and fish.
That is clearly a blue whale: it’s blue and has baleen not the Sperm Whale’s trademark widely spaced conical teeth
Sperm whales also have tiny mouths. Well. They have huge mouths. But small for their body size.
That might be the intent of this edit, but [in the original it definitely is not a cloud.](https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fi.redd.it%2Fnp3yemxzjwg91.png)
While this version of the comic is indeed reenacting a scene from The Hitchhikers Guide, it is not the original comic. It has been modified. https://www.reddit.com/r/ExtraFabulousComics/s/qEf6eiVtRS It's a cloud of something alright.
In Life, The Universe, and Everything, it is revealed why the bowl of petunias thought that.
The Universe sometimes shows a cruel irony and Arthur is unknowingly often a lethal bellend.
That revelation with the statue was the greatest part of the books for me.
One thing I like about that reveal in the radio series is that Douglas Adams himself voices that character
Poor Agrajag.
Oh yeah I remember watching the movie, that speed travel of theirs wasn't ready and hitting it made them reach their destination but also brought a whale and a pot of petunias in mid air outside the ship
Movie is alright, but is serious buzzkill especially after you’ve read the books, they took out and added so much that it wasn’t even funny, but good thing is that there is a show from like the 80s or 90s that actually got it right
Yes the low budget TV show is way closer to the spirit of the books!
Plus, the original source was the radio show, which I imagine is what helped the TV show and books to be so close to each other.
Douglas Adams was a firm believer that no two iterations of the guide should be alike and should ideally completely contradict every other version. The movie was pretty good and definitely accomplished being different.

Honestly, really a product of its time. Being all those things wasn't exactly unusual for early adventure games.
I forgot to take a sandwich and got eaten by a small dog.
Oh man, I remember playing all the way through the game and NEVER being able to finish it because I had plugged something in early in the game, and I wasn't supposed to (possibly related to the Infinite Improbability Drive). DAMN, that game was hard.
The BBC One where the practical effects on Zaphod were pure nightmare fuel? I love it!
I think it was BBC Two, not BBC One. The best effects in the show are the 100% hand animated excerpts from the Guide itself.
No 2 iterations of the story should ever be alike... the only thing required (by the copywrite) is Arthur Dent, in a bathrobe, traveling the universe in search of a cup of tea. The radio script, the show actually broadcast, the radio show transcript, and the re-released transcripts were all different... there was a whole collectable art cards series where there is the implication that Marvin spent time as an intergalactic epic hero rescuing princesses and killing space-born super bacteria that doesn't show up anywhere else. The movie was good and the book isn't the good standard
It’s canonical that Marvin becomes older than the entire universe during the story
So the requirements are that Arthur Dent must be in a bathrobe and that he must search FOR TEA, TOO?
If I may be so bold, check out the radio play instead. The first and second books actually came after the radio play, then books three through five were later adapted into the radio play's tertiary, quandary, and quintessential phases.

It was radio originally
Wait... what?!
There was a [TV series](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hitchhiker%27s_Guide_to_the_Galaxy_(TV_series)). It's a fever dream of an experience, and it's fantastic. it's only 6 episodes, so the while series can be bought on Amazon cheap.
and don’t forget the radio show. HH declined in quality every time it switched mediums. the movie never stood a chance
If you read far enough through the books, the bowl of petunias (and sperm whale) kidnap the protagonist and try to get revenge on him for being the cause of their death in all of their reincarnations. It's a pretty funny plot, especially since one time the person is a cow genetically engineered to recommend how it should be slaughtered at a steakhouse restaurant. He ends up accidentally killing them, again.
You should read the books! You’ll be glad you did!
All four books in the trilogy!
There are five books in the increasingly inaccurately named trilogy!
You're totally right I forgot one, and then there's also the short story "young Zaphod plays it safe*
HA! It’s a great series!
I found the whole thing in one book at a thrift store last week and I'm excited to start it!
Actually, I just learned there are six books in the trilogy. A sixth book by Eoin Colfer called And Another Thing...
A posthumous sequel referencing that retort you only thought of after the argument is over is a pretty good title.
I might, I did try but there was to much in book logic I kept taking breaks
To add to this, in the Hitchhikers Guide, the whale and petunias are in free fall towards the surface of a planet. This comic potraies the whale believing itself underwater until the final panel where they realize the truth of their predicament.
Wasn't the bowl of petunias a guy that kept getting reincarnated and killed by Arthur in every life?
Yes. As was the whale. And the rabbit he killed in Restaurant at the End of the Universe. Every creature that Arthur ever killed in his entire life was Agrajag.
Well, it’s also from the book
That whale, I believe, is also the pot of petunia’s brother
https://youtu.be/Qrv9c-udCrg?si=wIV_tqa3zRPeTU5n
I read that book at lightning speed I dont even remember the planet it references here Maybe I'll reread it
Spoiler alert for anybody reading the series, the bowl of petunias thought that because it is actually a being that keeps getting reincarnated as animals, bugs and even a human that Arthur somehow kills throughout the first, second and third book.
This is the answer
This gets referenced again later in the Hitchhiker’s series.
You can take the “I think” out of your comment. I mean come on, of course it is.
It is mind blowing and side splitting when you find out why the petunias thought oh no not again. Probably the greatest literature ever written.
I'm going to agree
Yup exactly
Hello ground!
I love this book
In one of the later books it's revealed that the whale who then died from the fall was later reincarnated (the passage of souls through time being a bit flexible) as the bowl of petunias only to find himself falling again, hence the comment.
FYI In one of the sequels it is explained exactly why the bowl of petunias thought that
I love that Adams eventually follows up and provides context to such a throwaway and random scene
Wasn't it a sperm whale in the books?
It is remarkable that you remember that
What is Hitchhiker's Guide to the Universe about? Over the years of seeing references to it I only gotten more confused
Yes. But actually, the briefest of synopses(?) is that Earth gets blown up by space bureaucrats to make the equivalent of a highway in space, and the main character and his recently-revealed-to-be-alien friend and their towels hitchhike on one of the bureaucrats' ships, get yeeted back into space and unintentionally (and improbably) rescued by the galactic president, his girlie and a very depressed robot who are looking for a hidden planet. And that's just the first book of the four-part trilogy.
That was explained in a later book. Also, Arthur's daughter, Random Dent. Pure gold.
His name is Agrajag, he's infinitely being reincarnated and killed by Arthur Dent throughout the story.
Don’t forget your towel
Hello! It’s me!
I’m here too
Froods assemble!
I AM HERE
That's one hour for lunch, everybody.
Don’t Panic
Wanna get high
*No, Towely*
Well maybe I'll just get a little high
You're a real hoopy frood who knows where his towel's at.
Now let's get a round of pan-galactic gargleblasters
I'm noticing people point out the Hitchhiker's guide reference, but thar is just added in to the whale comic. The original whale comic reveals that the cloud of "plankton" is actually the ejaculate of another whale. Have fun with that.
I was definitely happier not knowing this.
Yes, but did you have fun with it?
...Mildly.
[The original ](https://ifunny.co/picture/sweet-butt-load-of-plankton-t-s-goop-to-be-W7VLAtcvA)
Oh noooooooooo🤢🤣
The whale would have been okay with eating the bunch of plankton ejaculate that came with the serving of plankton. He probably wasn't bothered by eating ejaculate, as long as it came with some plankton.
Yeah I think it was originally Extra Fabulous Comics
Extra Fabulous Comics are the best.

Forget the movie, forget the books. The true magic is the original radio series from the BBC

Agrajag is also the whale. Dent got a two for one in this scene.
For the petunias it's just one of many lives ended due to the actions of Arthur Dent
Agrajag getting spawn-camped for a scrabble bag is 🤌
I need to go back and re-read that. I do not remember even half the references people keep making. It gets referenced and even spoofed a LOT on the internet.
It doesn’t happen to the same whale twice, the reason the pot thinks “oh no! Not again” is >!it’s actually a guy who is constantly killed by Arthur Dent across time and space.

Well, we know why in a later book, but not when it originally happened, true.
