Ugo the statesman.
Previously on Marooned…
While attempting to send a message to Earth, John fell ill. He returned to the Martian sanctuary Vita to administer antibiotics, which made him worse. Ugo has now brought him to the Volotrum (also called The Dark Ones), his only remaining chance to be healed, where he has been speaking to “She-Who-Hears” about his predicament.
Meanwhile, Asimov and Ril got trapped in a sandstorm and had taken sanctuary inside Captain John’s ship. They have returned safely and are now awaiting the return of John.

A moral quandary worthy of I, Robot. Nice work, Tom!
Brilliant. I love the writing on this one. Great way to turn it serious.
And nice moves Ugo, on flipping Liam’s attitude like that.
Thanks you guys!
Nicely done.
Damn straight!
I love the way the Crepno are just unconcernedly flitting around during such a serious conversation. I don’t know why I imagine they should be concerned or why it entertains me that they are not, but there it is.
You changed up the camera angle a bit here. Helps bring the viewer into the scene for sure. Rock on!
Glad you noticed, Matt. Liked your comment Stormy – they are just cool customers
I think I have seen those things that glow on the wall in the Mario games…
Just joking, nice strip.
Wow the story is getting very deep now. Taking a turn from comedy and heading towards serious matters of life, death, and morality!
