173 – Misrepresentation

Remember, NEW READERS (you found Marooned in the last 6 months) can win some original art by answering a few quick questions on this page!

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!

New Readers

    Waitaminute.. the DOCTOR??? Are you saying Ugo is a bit like K-9?!? Fabulous!

  2. Nixon

    given that John is still the guy in charge for the robot we would have a word for that sort of Asimovs behavior here in germany…its called ‘ Insubordination’ :D
    great strip!!!

  3. flawedprefect

    Ah lawyer talk. Always gets a laugh. I would have gone with “Reductio ad Absurdum” myself, but hey, I’m an incurable skeptic.

    Oh How I cannot wait for book 2 !!

  4. Major Tom

    Hey I never thought of The Doctor/K-9 relationship. I think you’ll see it’s not quite the same, but you’ll have to be the judge.

    And yeah, insubordination is Asimov’s middle name!

    @flawed – starting to think about book two already. I’m actually going to plan ahead for this one ;)

  5. Ladyfox

    Well, it wouldn’t be the first time the Doctor left a K-9 or other “help” behind for one reason or another.

  6. Mike M

    Nice summary there, Asimov . . . John even looks a bit lawyerish with that briefcase.

  7. Og

    Wrapping up the Thousand Goodbyes. You are a Tolkien man, ain’tcha?

  8. Major Tom

    Heh, yeah you know it. I’m starting to get wiggy with all my behind the scenes info!

  9. Bob

    Anyone else think Asimov looks like a big toe?

  10. Major Tom

    Hehe, a smart-aleck big toe.

  11. John G.

    John is a little self centered forgetting he caused the entire thing … but I do feel like he needs his day in the sun :)

    == John ==

    Ah seems like this is the last of the hearing ones for awhile. I’m thinking since Ugo has a people to go back to that he must be a cyborg rather than a full on android. I guess we’ll get to his story soon enough.

  13. Lady Amber

    A good deal of trouble sorted out now for the rest of the story. Looking forward to new strip with mutch glee. ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, ;) :) {*v*} :P :D
