He he, I thought she would stow away but this is far better! Nice parenting, so trusting.

Bahahaha! Poor Nogg, he gets no respect… Not surprising, but still :p
Rikard
Oh Nogg, you egg!
I sure hope Nogg knows how important he is as a lightning rod and sort-of-not-the-leader-but-still-it-anyway.
Every time the comic contains scenes of Nogg getting a dressing down (chewing out?) by the cast, I kind of sympathise (I teach teenagers for a living…).
God Jul (Merry Yule) from Sweden,

Merry Christmas from Washington!
…Hey, how is it that descendants of some of the baddest motherfuckers on the planet, have become world leaders in the art of pacifism? :p

I could explain, but it would quickly become an essay, and I doubt the esteemed artist would appreciate that.
I would recommend the CIA World Factbook, and also the english/american Wikipedia page about Sweden as a starting point.
I’ll sound off with two words: welfare state.
God Jul, och God Fortsättning: Means Merry Yule, and Happy Continuation of the New Year, dating back to pre-Christian times when the winter solstice was celebrated to encourage Freja to bring back the sun, but also to spite the cold, the hunger and the darkness.

I kind of worked that surprise crewmember out a while ago. Nobody else I’d seen so far was the right height to fit into that blank space in the crew illustration.

So the last crew member is a boozed-up, heavily-armed half-alien, half-human teenager. Who was raised by a Russian.
One who gives even less fucks than normal, for someone of said nationality.
@0z79, whoa! Tell me if I’m interpreting you wrong, but what I’m hearing is a slander of Russians. I am currently NO fan of much of what the government is doing, but the Russian people are just like you and me. Some good, some assholes. But they are not one thing. Some of my best friends are Russian-Americans. So, again: if I’m interpreting this correctly, let me be clear: there will be no slander allowed here base on race, religion, or nationality.
That said, yes! Interesting. 🙂

Not a slander at all; from what I understand of actual Russian people, they’re really stoic, hence my phrasing.. which may have been in poor taste. :/
Reading this with Dmitri using Alec Baldwin’s voice and accent for North from Rise of the Guardians makes me giggly.

Rikard, schoolteacher
Yeah, Sweden is pretty great. 🙂
Awww. Devyat seems like such a sweet kid.
A sweet, heavily armed, possibly boozed up kid.
Finally, we get the complete logo! Heh, EggNogg…

No worries. Sorry if I jumped down your throat! Just want to nip things like that in the bud. 🙂
And her name means ‘nine’ in Russian. Nice way of relating her name to both her parents, since Eebs don’t have last names.
Yes, exactly. Good eye. 🙂
Her babushka and Slavic eyes are ADORABLE. I would bet a bag of rubles that she takes after his mother.
