This page is similar to a Calvin and Hobbes strip where Calvin is doing the watering and lording it over the plants. There Calvin is trumped by rain, where here you have a spaceship land and squash as trump.
Our solar system has a shipwash? Are we no longer a dark planet? “Visit rustic Earth, home of Russian tea cookies!”

Dude, you have like, a gift with this.

I assume you could wash a spaceship pretty much anywhere you could wash a large boat or other vehicle. It’s not like you need special soap for spaceship hulls. Except maybe Shuttle tiles.

Another tale told in flashback, then? *gets out popcorn*

The “First Strip Current Series” link goes to the current strip.
@IAmIgor, I loved that strip. I enjoyed using the skeleton of that concept for another purpose though, to re-enforce the theme of Spacetrawler: just when you think you have power/control over something, “thooomp.”
@Coyoty, well, there WAS non-human darkhuenium mining being done on the far side of uranus.
@EvilMidnightLurker, thank you for catching that! I couldn’t set it until I’d designed the site and then uploaded the first strip (this weekend) and then forgot! Updated now. 🙂

If it does we didn’t put it there. Probably at one of the galactic stops I’d say. And he was being sarcastic to the man anyway.

You know, I didn’t especially think this comic was my favorite; but I’ve read it three times and now that I find out it’s back I’m literally vibrating with glee, so it must be pretty high on the list.
in other words:
Squeee!

The “GOB: Spacetrawler”?!? Isn’t that kinda like naming your ship the “USSS: Nine-Eleven”?
Weird name…
I would love it if the eventual book came out, and it was still “I Don’t Know the Title Yet.”

@Coyoty, well, there WAS non-human darkhuenium mining being done on the far side of Uranus.
Now that Earth has a seat on the GOB, are we at least getting a cut of the darkhuenium profit? (Tucked away safely in some trust fund account, no doubt, next to Dimitri’s profits from his Russian Tea Cakes.)

Um, you called the murder mystery story book 4 already. Might want to change that to book 3.5, or this one to 5.
Had to go back and re-read Spacetrawler now that you’ve started Book 7, and wanted to note how much I love that the panel of the GOB Spacetrawler over the Earth is a beautiful callback to that of the IA Starbanger over the Earth at the start of Book 1, and that while Mr. Zorilla’s house looks the same, he’s added a flower bed. It’s glorious continuity that also shows the passage of time, the result of a lot of work. Thank you for putting in the effort to make quality entertainment.

Maybe the shipwash is just a route through the ammonia clouds of Jupiter.

@Heng, ha! Yes. It will all be explained. 🙂

Fixed and titled! Thanks!
