I don’t know exactly how it is that Slick and Yelu have turned out to hate each other so much. It just seems to have happened – the characters do have minds of their own.

In history wayback, this was called being impressed into service. Will Slick survive his new position? Only time will tell…

You can see a little more of the side of the shuttlecraft here. I only built the cockpit and left side for the purposes of this strip. And we have more funnies about redshirts.

There are a lot of things going on in this strip. First of all, notice the background? In the first Star Trek series, everything on alien worlds was shot in the studio with a matte backdrop that was painfully obvious. I chose to emulate that here by using my normal “stage” backdrop without any post-production enhancement. The stage is a cardboard box lid lined with printer paper.
Barry Allen was the first Flash, who died in DC’s epic Crisis on Infinite Worlds and saved the Universe at the same time.
And you just knew that Kirk, Spock, and the others had a pool going on how redshirts were going to die, didn’t you?

I’ve been planning this one for a long time. I’ve always thought that hitting a random character with a meteorite is great for laughs. And naturally, it’s the red shirt. “Crap in a hat” is apparently also in widespread use throughout the rest of the galaxy.
I’ve had so much fun with the IBC aliens, that if I ever find enough time to do a second webcomic, it will certainly involve them.
