Pete has recharged his batteries and his head is glowing quite nicely. Almost too bright actually. Monday is glad it is wearing its shades. Lampshades that is... Anyway, a third of the month is over and if he wants to get twelve strips in before it's over, he is going to be busy, or will this be the first time he does not succeed at that?

Well, that should get Bunbun and Kiki on board for shenanigans.

I think Schlock must have been resorting to a bit of hyperbole in the heat of the moment. But yes, I would think all those holes would do bad things to structural integrity, inflatable bulkheads or no. That jet-backpack must have good power & auto-control. To launch projectiles with enough mass and velocity to puncture spacecraft like it did -- unless EVERYthing up there is inflatable, including the DFA Torg blasted -- it would have quite a kick. Without the backpack stabilizing you, one shot & you'd spin off into the distance.

WOOHOO! Go ahead and claw the XT-34 into the space station, that will get BunBun onboard, right where we need him. Plus maybe Gwynn can leave CappyBo behind for a bit and do some damage. Also, I guess we can see that Frog wasn't decompressing, just having gas issues. hah. I wonder where Torg is now, and how long it will take for Riff and Oasis to reach the space station? And will Shankcraft and Daiyu play any further role?

How was I to know that natural micrometeoroids at a velocity generally between 3 and 18 km/s or debris from the recent destruction of a relatively close, conventional metal-and-silicon satellite might pose a grave threat to my crewed space station’s atmospheric containment? Nobody could have guessed that!

But even if the station designers allowed for the occasional micrometeoroid, they might not have planned for as many PIKs as Torg is laying down. kromiller wrote: Plus maybe Gwynn can leave CappyBo behind for a bit and do some damage. Trying to remember... does Schlock know Gwynn does magic? I'm pretty sure he doesn't know about the stronger abilities Farahn/Book gifted her...

Frogs problems are more liquid in nature.

My first reaction was "ewww" to Frog's statement.

Place your bets. Pete has mastered the art of half comics to meet his goals. But considering the average size of his comics, I'd hardly complain! How many three panel gag strips struggle to get 3 out a week?
