In the wingship, Picknar and Thoos sat at a table, and Knox cradled Rodrigo in his arms. A large alien had entered, which for those of you who have read earlier Spacetrawler stories know to be Gurf. Knox pointed at him and started screaming, "auugh!! Auuuuuuugghhhh!!!!!!"  Looking up at Knox, Rodrigo said, "don't you think that's a bit over-reacting? use your words, Knox." Knox continued screaming, "auuuuuuuuuugghhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!" Looking at Picknar and Thoos, Rodrigo explained, "we've been working on our language skills, but he still gets anxious. Don't worry this will pass." Gurf then lifted a gun in the air, and Knox pointed at it and yelled, "take cover! It has a gun!" Then Knox leapt at Gurf, and grabbed him around the waist, with Gurf not being affected at all. Struggling to wrestle Gurf, Knox said, "nng! Grrf! Gnar! Ruh!" Looking at them, Rodrigo said, "Knox, stop fooling around and let the nice alien be." Knox, still with his arms and legs around Gurf like he was climbing a tree, looked back at Rodrigo. Then Knox got down, and pointed at Gurf and said, "okay. But you stay there until we figure this out." Gurf spoke in a language unintelligible to them, which translated as "hur! I've already figured out that you think I'm a bad guy." Knox said, "incoherent gibberish isn't helping your case."

So, you may be wondering what happened here. I had drawn the entire page taking place about the G.O.B. Spacetrawler, but where we left the cast was on the wingship. So their first interaction with aliens (Gurf) would have happened there. I think @Frankie_D was the first to notice (thank you!). Anyhow, it meant I had to redraw the page. Although I was able to keep most of the character drawings and just switch out the background, thank goodness. There’s a second image there today of the bottom half of the original incorrect version, in case you find that interesting

I must confess, I don’t remember the precise scene/story, but I suspect that third panel was inspired by Bugs Bunny.
