I think it's fair to say that the characters in Adventure Time are prone to making some pretty bad decisions. I mean, just the lack of tooth-brushing that we've seen in a show set in a place called "The Candy Kingdom" alone is enough to make you shake your head at the life choices Finn and Jake have made. Next week, though, when the Eisner award-winning Adventure Time comic book hits its 26th issue, writer Ryan North and artist Jim Rugg (who is doing a full AT arc following his backup in issue #10) lead Finn and Jake to make one of the most alarmingly and obviously terrible decisions that we've see yet -- and you can get a jump start on cringing right here at CA with the preview below.

And if that wasn't enough to get to read on, then trust me when I say that for one brief panel, this issue introduces what is undoubtedly the sensational character find of 2014: MECHA LUMPY SPACE PRINCESS.

From Boom!'s official solicitation info:

Synopsis: Finn and Jake have always been best buds; they are always together, it’s just something best buds do. But what happens when these two friends get separated on a crazy adventure with twists and turns? Will our pals be able to find each other again or is this just all part of growing up?

 

Cover artists for the issue include Hannah Bischak, Craig Arndt, Emily Hu and Vicky Barker.

In case your eyes are as old and withered as mine and can't make out the faded green text below the comic, rest assured that it advises children to not follow Finn and Jake's example and avoid sticking their hands into gears whenever possible. So that's reassuring.

Adventure Time #26 arrives on March 19.
