Planet “Nerpy.” Oh goodness. I need to start getting more sleep.
Hey, there’s a photo contest over at TopatoCo. Submit one for $10 off your next order, or for the grand prize!
I mentioned I’ll be tabling at Tucson Festival of Books March 9 & 10, and I mention it again. Plan. Come. It’s book! How can you go wrong? Wait. Don’t answer that.
Dmitri for president 2016-eternity
Wow! The puchline gave me a great loud gaffaw! Absolutely brilliant. And knowing him, he’s not likely bluffing. Or is he?
Reminds me of the Master in this scene: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VMew38zTXHQ
Russian politics at it’s finest!
Seems like, with these clowns, he could have avoided the need for the threat by just passing out free tea-cookies and vodka first. Also, the first announcement he should have made is that a new ship tech is available that leaves spacetrawlers in the dark ages and that it’s going to be made available for everyone. After that, the rest seems like simple clean up.
Chaucer59, spacetrawlers are just one eeb-based industry. Owners of eebs who rely on them for labor and inventiveness will be very reluctant to give them up. Especially after seeing how dangerous free eebs are.
Looks like Dmitri is on the downswing of this.
Psst! Accidental apostrophe in the fifth panel: “Your planets”
That, or I really need to clean my monitor.
Heh… Less a ’cause worth dying for’ as much as a ’cause worth threatening everyone’s life over’.
Dimitri is the bestest…he’s the only one right now that i have any confidence in actually succeeding in terms of his goals/objectives/whatever…well other than the Mihrrgoots…
I want to wear that outfit. Please make it happen!
Dimitri doesn’t know the meaning of “progressively”, does he?
I just realized, he did not include changing Earth’s name back!
That makes me think there must be a not-too-unfamiliar story as to how “Nurpy” got its current name
That smile. Dear glob, that smile. I’d follow him to the ends of the earth, but only because I’m too scared not to.
This is absolutely the best page of the entire series. If only we had our own Dimitri in Congress….
Oh Dimitri, you magnificent bastard. So wait, what about all the other conference rooms that he’s only in holographically? Is he (threatening to) pump poison gas into all of them?
Just when you were about to forget Dimitri is russian
Looks like the honeymoon is over.
So Dimitri is going to make them do his bidding – living or dead. Of course, Dimitri will not die with them, he’s got a gas mask 😀
Is good plan. Dmitri is having much soul!
YES! DMITRI FOR CONGRESS!
Normally I’d say that isn’t a way to run a govt, but considering the incredible wrongs done such measures are necessary. I approve.
Dimitry for Galactic President as long as he wants.
There’s the Dimitri we know and love!
…and he’s likely got a gas that is 1 poisonous to every species and 2 hissing merrily in a vat. But who’s holding the lever? My money’s on King.
Anyone who tried such a stunt IRL would be hated more than any despot.
Not because of killing or threats, but because he wanted to take away the “free stuff” or whatever people are addicted to.
Planet Forever Alone?
Wait, supported for free for all time? That is always always a bad idea.
Imagine Dimitri Sokolov running for office against Zaphod Beeblebrox.
I know. The mind reels doesn’t it?
It seems that, like me, you all enjoy a good legislative session. <3
@William Young, fixed! Thanks!
Dammit Chris, every time I think Dimitri has run out of crowning moments of awesome, he does something even moreso.
And of course the representative from planet Nurpy is purple.
Ow.
This man is an amazing negotiator.
