Dan Norton is a wirily little fellow. I first discovered his secret escape technique on 17 February 2000 and produced a quickie scribble showing it, as shown below. Three months later I refined the scribbles to produce what you see here. It's quite simple, really:
1. Dan is scared.
2. Opens hole in stomach.
3. Sucks himself in.
4. Becomes superdense core.
5. Sucks in bad guy with nunchucks.
6. Unfurls self.
7. Happy and safe, does a victory dance.
