Now you’ve put the curse on it. A better question would be “what can’t go wrong?.”
Coyoty
“I’m homesick. Can you make some cactuses and spread them around you?”
“What are cactuses?” Description follows. “Even your plants have chutzpah! What will you do with them?”
“Pee on them all to establish my authority.”
“Chutzpah! Why doesn’t your planet rule the galaxy?”
“We’re working on it.”

I see him quickly becoming Head of GOB.
Kaidah
Apex Speakers have been overthrown by less worthy and far more unscrupulous people in the past.
Now that I think about it, Dimitri took control of the GOB fairly easily as I recall. Maybe, and stay with me on this, just maybe the central governing body of the universe isn’t quite so good at their jobs as they let on. That or humans are just nuts and if we ever develop interstellar travel the universe is doomed. lol

Correction… Earthlings are nuts, and if coyotes ever develop interstellar travel the universe is doomed.

Galactic technology make coyotes and kangaroos into people. Logically, most of the Gob members would be what we consider to be dumb animals without that tech.
Explains a lot.

I think this is a tremendous insight, and it’s totally part of my headcanon now.

I find many webcomics humorous, but it is rare that I literally LOL. Good job, Chris!
Maybe the G.O.B. maps are incomplete because the G.O.B. really isn’t very galactic.
Like the European Union includes less of the land mass of Europe, and the United States of America embraces much less than half of the land mass of North America, maybe the G.O.B. only administers a few dozen inhabited solar systems. The “Galactic” in G.O.B. may very well be like the “World” in “World Series”.
Cf., the “Organizational” in G.O.B.

And so Ruddock imposes his rule and his diet on the Strib ship. To the delight of most readers.
But I wonder what will happen when somebody checks the bridge.. and DOESN’T get sneezed off. And what kind of fleet is waiting at “Planet Gentlekindness.” Things have been looking sunny too long, and I have begun to dread unhappy revelations and unexpected reverses.
Things are not as simple as they seem, and there is more unknown here than makes me comfortable. I’m beginning to expect a visit from the Surprise Party Department, followed by the unexpected arrival of the Practical Joke Department.
I don’t think even Dr. Pepper is going to get me through the next week. What makes a good mixer with fingernails?
Kylo Stimpy
I wonder if he can land on their Global Assembly Capitol building with a crunch?

Sorry. That was the wrong joke to make on 9-11.

But… isn’t in his experience that the robot mice are ~also disappearing when he looks at/discovers them? No eating of mouse dust has been noticed.
Just keeps the readers playing the How Many Mice in the Panels game 😉

He doesn’t sneeze at them.

I wonder what will happen when the Stribs deign to notice these small furry creatures that are suddenly overrunning the ship. Do you think the Stribs will learn that edible robotic mice are actually tasty? Maybe not as tasty as those spicy cheesey things they discovered in Spain, but good enough.
TheWreck
Could Ruddick establish himself as the Alpha of the Stribs?

Hint – PUT it on the map.
