Uhhhh…, aren’t the humans on the ship, too? Or have I forgotten something?
Sure there are humans aboard. Are they part of Ruddock’s pack? No. I’m not seeing a problem here.
The humans are all on the Stribs’ nanny planet.
Ha! They are on board. Easy for a coyote to forget such details.
Seems it’s not just Ruddock that’s forgotten the details. Now I’m trying to remember who IS on the ship too.
“C’mon brain, please cooperate and think!” (Hard to think properly when my few remaining neurons aren’t on speaking terms with each other.)
Fortunately, since Ruddock has eliminated most of the crew with Squid Game efficiency, there’s only Science, Surly, Captain (in name only), and their human cargo.
Such dedication from the Ship
What, Christopher, you don’t have some canned beans handy in your emergency evacuation bag!?
Silent but deadly is less destructive than loud but deadly.
That seems to be the most efficient, polite and functional robot seen in any Spacetrawler-comic to date.
Wouldn’t beans give a canine horrible gas? My dogs get offal, bones, gristle and the occasional carrot, egg, and left-over rice, never any gas.
The one time they got hold of surströmming however…. oh dear.
If you donät know what that is, and would like to try, visit “surstromming.com”. It’s in english and the prices are in US dollars, so anyone willing to spend in the region of $50-$100, feel free to try. Opt for the de-boned fillets.
“Wouldn’t beans give a canine horrible gas? ”
Yup, that’s the joke.

You didn’t even mention the rakfisk! (hope I spelled that right.
It goes good with Durian.
Warning – may prompt welfare checks from concerned people downwind.
What’s funny is I quite liked the smell of durian (after hearing how much it stinks) so I thought I’d buy one to try. Unfortunately, all durian sold here has been frozen to ship such a distance. Friends from Fiji and from Indonesia told me afterward that it’s not anything like fresh. They quite dislike frozen.
Since I didn’t like the flavour in the least but my cat was interested, I gave him some. Gobbled it right down! Put the rest in the fridge and decided he can have more over the next few days. But oh lord! when he pooped the next day and the smell!!?? Threw out the rest.
Lesson for all: don’t feed your cat or dog durian.
They do exist. Saw a fresh durian in local farmers mart once. One. Haven’t seen it since.

Probably because the Strib immediately vaporize any robot that isn’t efficient, polite and functional.
Yep, good boy, Ruddock, now the fight’s gonna be so much easier!
HA!
Innocent Destroyer of Evil, meet the Humorless But Cute Murderous Fiends!
No refreshments will be served during the parley, or even after the unscheduled firefight to follow.
EEEEEE-HAAAAA! Let the unequal negotiations begin!
I’m impressed Ruddock understood a word like “obliterate.”
He’s got a *really* good translator.
When anyone hangs around Emily for long, they quickly learn what ‘obliterate’ means.
