At least she didn’t murder anyone. Nogg got off lucky.

Gounder. Named after the giant space harpoon he used to take over his crime territory.

I like this ending.
Great work, Sir.

Evil overlords have a high attrition rate, due to evil underlords.

What a pleasant ending. Nice to see how Yuri spends her time.

Hearing the siren song of a tempting opportunity can be hard to resist. Perhaps the Furryite ability that quells Eeb telekinesis works on human desire to heed siren songs as well. It’s either that, or Yuri is really into dominoes.

“The Next Full Spacetrawler Adventure?” Is Nog going to rope another batch of Earthlings into a galactic crisis?
DrunkenNordmann
Would it be Spacetrawler without Nogg kidnapping a bunch of
Earthlings and screwing up their lives?
Keith
The best thing would be Nogg getting roped in by a bunch of those poorly evolved humans. Even more clueless and insensitive than he is and just slightly more competent.
Jude
Good grief, Christopher! Don’t you take any breaks between comics? Where do you get all your energy and motivation from? And are you even human and not an alien from the galactic system you seem to gave such an intimate knowledge of? Are you our new overlord too?
I *very* much enjoyed these last two Spacetrawler adventures and looking eagerly forward to adventure 3!!! Thank you for such grand entertainment, especially since I dislike watching TV and ovies and refer reading.
Congrats, Christopher, and thanks, I love my almost daily spacetrawler page, laughing is a great way to begin the day.
I’m so happy to know there will be more spacetrawler adventures, your characters are so endearing, I look forward to seeing more of them…

Well Done

First time comment, I stumbled upon the comic sometime in the middle of this second run, read up from the beginning, and have been following along ever since. I just want to thank you for all the work and creatively you’ve poured into this fine comic the years. I’ll be sure to stick around through the next phase.
But I actually posted to comment on that very last panel.
Purple robo feet!
Jude
Perfect purple robo feet to match perfect purple robo hands. Just because Yuri lives away from people doesn’t mean she has to sacrifice style!
FlySwatter
The last panel is uncharacteristically uplifting, making an extremely welcome and satisfying close to this story thread. Thanks Chris.
Julia
I love how you show Brian’s emotions with just their hands and arms.
Sean K.
Yeah, I love that, too, and it reminds me of a lot of body language of Ted in Little Dee.

If Yuri ain’t happy, ain’t no-one happy, yes? Well done, mr Artist! Your comics are what others aspire to be, in my opinion. Tight Schedule, well written, drama, emotion, tension, humour, action and all with thematically appealing pacing.
If one were to speculate about the next outing, I somehow got the bizarre idea that Dustin of all people steals a ship on Earth and kidnaps a bunch of thelbuians to topple the UN, or something equally … hm, one shouldn’t use ‘retarded’ as a pejoratice… “alternatively sapient”, yes, that will do I think.
Anyhow, more Spacetrawler is the best Spacetrawler (excepting the actual drivesystem, that is).
Peter Rogan
Oh, great. As soon as Yuri said it, I could picture her taking over Gounder’s foundering empire, giving it focus and a new vigor as she explores new means to extract protection money and punish evildoers who think she’s either like them or a pushover, and growing quite fond of the work. A dastardly undoing of all her work, and Martina’s, to keep her safe and away from murder as a profession.
That said, it’s been my experience that the best stories don’t shut down their characters and leave them in HappyEverAfterLand. Living characters have lives that go beyond the story, and will and do, even if we’re not watching. The clumsy end to “The Sopranos” thumbed its nose at its audience, mocking this concept. The far better ending is from “The Watchmen” (the graphic novel, not the movie), with the hapless publisher’s assistant at “The New Frontiersman” about to find Rorschach’s mailed journal exposing the false end of the world, and preceded, naturally, by Dr. Manhattan’s reply to Adrian Veidt’s question, “Did I do the right thing, in the end?”
To which of course, Dr. Manhattan replies, with a rare smile, that “Nothing ever really ends,” and melts to a new universe. And there you go.
Lemonade and dominoes are a fine way to signal this story is over, and the characters we have met and come to know go on, even if we’re without their other stories. For now. Nothing ever really ends.

My thoughts exactly! 🙂

Space Trawler 3: Awakening on planet Earth. (Chula Varuna – the Stars are Right)
Coyoty
Spacetrawler 3: Darkness’ End. I want to see how Earth reacts when it’s no longer dark and discovers there’s not only a galactic confederation, but Earth is already a major delegate and financial force. And Dustin was once its misrepresentative.
DrunkenNordmann
They’re probably gonna send flowers and am apology for inflicting Dustin on galactic society.
Gregg Eshelman
Dustin’s twin brother goes to space but everyone thinks he’s Dustin… not a happy vacation.
Coyoty
…And Earth is known as Dustinia…
DrunkenNordmann
It was actually named back to Earth after Dustin was removed from his position.
Was it Gounder or Grounder?
At least she didn’t murder anyone. Nogg got off lucky.

Is that just what they WANT you to think?!
I like the Hobbit architecture ~ no sharp edges…
@Richard, as someone who is tall, I appreciate this sentiment. 🙂
Another distinctive, memorable tale!
