This reminds me of a Little Dee strip I quite like, when Vachel attached a rocket to Blake’s doghouse.
Books Of Wonder in NYC hosted a virtual book release last night for “The Dire Days of Willowweep Manor,” interviewing Shaenon Garrity and myself. If you missed it, it can be re-watched here: https://www.crowdcast.io/e/garrityandbaldwinlaunch/register
Safe? No. Safer than not doing it? …maybe.
Link to the correct? Little Dee comic: http://www.littledee.net/?p=4270
Thanks for the correct link! I was wondering how Vachel and Blake figured into the one Christopher gave. (I still miss Little Dee and was sorry to see it end.)
Yeah, that’s a series. Now follow it to the end. Squirrels! 🙂
What @Warren said below: you’re right, that is the correct link to begin the rocket doghouse sequence, but I was referring to the precise strip I linked to. 🙂
Squirrels pimped my ride.
Best. Line. Ever.
Today the barbot served a grenade instead of grenadine.
Christopher’s link reflects the china, but, mr Scott’s link gets the back story of the chaos :).
No mice?
I checked too 😀 Mouse Patrol
I’d forgotten to add mice! Added!
Mouse Count: 2-0-0-0-0-0-1
Yes! Little Dee! Still my favorite strips, ever. 🙂
B-b-b-barBot? What about BarBot?!? You killed BarBot!!! You bastards!!!
It’s possible only the section of the wing with the bomb was split off. I guess we’ll have to wait and see.
The Little Dee joke worked because you subverted the build-up. Here you just doubled down without really adding anything for a punchline, like saying “oh, I guess reading counts as being evolved” instead of “unevolved; shoot it.” Of course, were you to bust the crockery a third time for a running gag, something (besides the crockery) might be salvaged.
Remember what I said a couple of days ago about Choan demonstrating the correct way to treat your robot slaves? Update that. There you go.
Inar may have to order a new set of china from Space Amazon. Or more glue and some aspirin.
Kind of obvious way to defeat a limpet mine. Seems like the Stribs would have taken that into account.
The Strib limpet mine is also a tracker, and expected to be inconspicuous until used or tampered with. Double-duty like that prolongs its useful life to the point where a Choan can figure out the section of the ship it clings to can be detached and disposed of.
What makes me wonder is: Did Choan assist the mine/tracker’s destruction, or did the device determine it was no longer part of a larger vessel, and so disposed of itself in the hopes of at least putting shrapnel into its escaped target? A mine/tracker that sophisticated might also call home and say what happened to it. Which is something I wouldn’t put past the Stribs. Oh no. Not at all.
Remind me, who is Klak?
Right – the robot looking at limpet mine.
And first appeared: https://www.baldwinpage.com/spacetrawler/2010/08/24/spacetrawler-70/
An eleven year-old introduction to one of Choan’s chief helpers.
Now I have to ask: When do we meet Clik, the other Tappet Brother?
