Abducted!

'''Abducted! '''is the official name of the story arc involving Thaddeus Euphemism being abducted by Gwog.

Plot
This story arc begins with a man talking to a woman about how the police had found Thaddeus sitting naked in a park 50 miles from his house, but he was not hypothermic and the weather was cold. Furthermore, there were no vehicle tracks in or out of the park. This makes the man come to the conclusion that Thaddeus was abducted by aliens.

In the next strip, Thaddeus is wrapped in a blanket and talking to the man. The man asks him to recap what happened and Thaddeus recalls meeting an alien in the park who preferred to be called an "extraterrestrial".

The following strip has Thaddeus explaining that the alien used a hypnotic television-type device that was "unlike anything [he'd] ever experienced and yet strangely familiar" to lure him into his ship.

The next strip continues the recap with the alien taking out a "probe-o-matic" in front of a naked, shackled Thaddeus who tries to use reverse psychology to get the alien to probe his nose, but it doesn't work.

In the next strip, two other aliens arrive to arrest the abductor, whose name is revealed to be Gwog, for illegally abducting Thaddeus, who asks one of them what the deal is with probing. The alien replies that, like humans, some members of their species are "just jerks".

In the next strip, the alien wipes Thaddeus's short-term memory by hitting him with a rolling pin.

In the final strip, Thaddeus recaps the story and the woman from the beginning also wipes his memory by hitting him with a rolling pin.
