171 – Interstellar Rejection

Previously on Marooned…

While attempting to send a message to Earth, John fell ill. Ugo brought him to the Volotrum (also called The Dark Ones), his only remaining chance to be healed. The Listener, an apprentice of the Dark Ones – a human woman named Lian Fisher who crashed on Mars years ago – agreed to heal John. In doing so, she fell into some kind of coma – but returned in the nick of time with miraculous powers to help defeat the lizard-like Krosa. In the battle, Ugo’s wounds have revealed him as some kind of robot or machine, making Captain John more confused than ever!

    Great punchline. Way to stick it to him.
    Technically not interstellar, though. :P

  2. bachterman

    lol again :D

  3. Og

    Never give a sucker an even break. Makes it sad for John, but always with the funny. Always.

  4. Mike M

    Asimov’s heading for an Electro-Laser blast throught the CPU . . .

  5. Major Tom

    Ok true, technically not interstellar – but I like the word “interstellar” :)

  6. Martin

    The word “intrasteller” is almost as good, and more situationally accurate.

    one fine day captain john is gonna pull the plug on that robot loudmouth…
    everything could be great for him if the robot just wasn’t as clever as he is …

  8. Major Tom

    Well technically… he already did “pull the plug” on him once when he used the shutdown command. Asimov didn’t like that too much.

  9. BobbyJ

    talk about a nose job…

  10. John G.

    And here John was acting all nice in panel 5 by being concerned. LOL

    I hope Lian blasts Asimov …

    == John ==

    John sure seems to change colors a lot, first it was the green of Martian sickness and now the red of either humiliation or anger at being denied.

  12. Major Tom

    Poor guy gets the worst of it all don’t he?

  13. Irma

    I like her face in this one. You changes it up a bit. It’s a bit softer

  14. Major Tom

    Thanks Irma. Lian has been very difficult for me. Still trying to get a handle on her.
