117 – Bedside Manner

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.

    I like how she used her seat from her ship (I assume that’s what she’s done… scavenged her ship for everything.) Nice strip today!

    Yep, Og – that’s what it is. How about that, I drew a recognizable ship seat. I figured she would have grabbed whatever she could from her ship, only makes sense right? We should see a little more of that in the strips to come.

    “Nice bedside manner…” LOL.

  5. jeromatic

    I wonder if she is in his HMO network? John could end up paying a fortune…
