Dustin was a less clever recruit. That didn’t turn out too well.

I’d say “Poor Nogg.” But let’s be honest. This is his own stupid fault. Sooooo enjoy it, Nogg. You earned it.
Kristina
I love getting to see more of the newbies. Great story.

No, you need to start recruiting less insane and or willfully unpleasant recruits. Clever is a multiplier, it takes something else to make them a problem; clever just makes them a bigger problem.

Yuri was actually pretty well-adjusted until the whole “having her arms and legs cut off” thing.
Herandar
Take as long as you want, Chris.

Well, when you’re used to dealing with aliens from thousands of different planets, it’s probably really difficult to tell sane from insane within any one small species. And Nogg is especially bad at it, given the experience he’s already had with humans.

Nogg probably has an idea of the galaxy will be like after humans reach the tech level of the others. “It is going to be a bumpy ride.”

A gun MORE deadly than the usual ones that casually vaporize people?!
Every page promises more adventure!
Aw Darn, Runaway Character Fun… whatever shall we do? ENJOY OURSELVES? Gasp!

And the Grand Unraveling of the Plan is well underway. Nogg’s wonderful underestimation of the people he picked personally continues to produce new and awful wonders. I cringe in anticipation of who next will go off the rails in what direction. No, I won’t speculate. That way madness lies. Already I can’t drink Joyce off my mind. That’s far enough for me.

@Peter Rogan: OOOH! OOOOOH! Remember how Dmitri made himself immune to the effects of a stunner? What. If. … Bikkie learned to do the same thing! BLOOOOD!
Muzhik
I mean, that’s not going off the rails so much as … stretching them a bit?

Muzhik: Thanks. Now I’m hanging upside-down from the ceiling light, making it swing in crazy gyrations, my shirt gone, and I’m making outraged chimpanzee noises. Thanks a LOT.

I’m sorry, but I simply _must_ comment on the previous diary strip, because I am very disappointed in you, Christopher.
I would have expected a man with your experience with cats to know: ALL items (edible or otherwise) are Gifts to the Cat. The fact that you classify such items as “unattended” merely means you have failed in your duty to worship said cat while it accepts your gift.
Over quickly? I don’t want it over at all!

@Mouse, Hahahaha! So true! 🙂
