Almond jelly is a thing. Really…
↓ Transcript
Pierre: I think you’re forgetting something.
Galadriel: Nope. I’m leaving you some inspiration. I want to show off a draft proposal for your habitat design by the end of the deci. Oh, and I’ll be raiding your pantry for protein strips and kelp juice on the way out.
Pierre: You and your Basics. The wards eat better than you do.
Galadriel: Peh! I was raised a trekker. Sometimes that’s all we had left in ship stores. So to me it’s comfort food. Now, if you hurry over, the Wardhall might still have some bison stew left. Can’t promise there’s any almond jelly dessert left, tho...
Pierre: And just when I need the energy… I think the real reason you show up after the mid-session break, sitting on The Dais commando and munching on snacks is so everyone knows you’ve been doing something other than eating lunch.
Galadriel: Can’t have people thinking the finest mind of The Empire is being neglected.
Pierre: I knew it! You only love me for my mind.
Galadriel: You also make for good arm-candy...

Now you’re gonna make me look it up. According to Google it’s the Asian equivalent of the blancmange, also called almond tofu.
Annindofu! It’s like an opaque white jello. Very popular as a light after dinner dessert in Chinese restaurants (not just in China, but at Chinese restaurants world over). Good stuff.
She doesn’t even put panties on? o_O
I think that’s the whole point of this page: She’s going to give her subjects a show – “sitting on the dais commando”
Recall that the Orions don’t have a nudity taboo. That is canon in the strip ever since Peach first showed Ace that they were human.
Oh I know. “A show” need not be for scandal. She would be doing it to promote her standing.
She loves his mind? What a horrible thing to say to a guy after sex.
He’s the one who said she only loved him for his mind. She rebutted that he was good arm-candy.
Also – Yay, new comic!
Whatever they were doing, it wasn’t on that perfectly made bed!
🙂
It really makes my day whenever I see a new TMI. Thanks Andy!
My “spin” on this is that a space-faring race never prospers (or survives) by being sloppy. Whether it’s on a ship, or on a space station, a tidy lifestyle encourages habitual behaviors that increase your chances of avoiding (or surviving) disasters. Therefore, either she, or he (or perhaps THEY) made-up the bed just before this scene was shot. Such mundane tasks would simply bore the readers, without advancing the story, so it makes sense for the Esteemed Author to skip over them.
Or it is one of those make-itself beds like the ones in that Fifth Element movie?
Or they just never made it to the bed. Floors offer a great option of dirctions in which to roll or wriggle. With the right carpeting, you won’t even have the problem of the hard pressure of the floor.
Please excuse my ignorance, but why is there a mirror over the bed (and not on the ceiling)?
We can’t see the ceiling from this angle. What makes you think there ISN’T a mirror on it too?
Who are we to judge where this fine couple want their mirrors?
Oh I was not judging. I just wanted to know what purpose would a mirror on the wall over the bed would have as it would not show much like a mirror on the ceiling would.
It’s how the “set” came. ^_^
Not all mirrors in a bedroom are for sexual voyeurism: some people like a painting above their heads, some like to hang a dangerous sheet of glass, like a Shiny Sword of Damascus 😛
I think you mean sword of Damocles.
I suspect Autocorrect was being helpful, but failed classic references.
Blancmange was originally made with chicken and almond milk… I was coincidentally looking up flummery when I saw this comic.
Welcome back…
And now to scar people’s psyche: I’m sure glad it’s an attractive green-skinned woman sitting on the Orion throne commando instead of a winkly orange-skinned human male.
Brain Bleach! Where’s my “f”-ing Brain Bleach?
I recommend three days of nothing but TMI
According to a recent page over at [Grrl Power], 12 shots of Tequila can substitute for when “Brain Bleach”(tm) isn’t handy.
😉
This in turn leads me to wonder…
1)__When used as an emergency memory-wipe, is the worm optional or mandatory?
2)__If mandatory, is it JUST one worm, or is it one worm per shot?
3)__Is the worm CHEWED, or swallowed WHOLE?
4)__Is Wyrmil going to take offense at the consumption of long-dead, Tequila-pickled worms?
…so much protocol to consider…
…sigh.
1) Mandatory
2) just one
3)whole
4)let me put him in a vat and we’ll find out.
Tequila usually (maybe always) doesn’t have a worm.
Some versions of Mezcal do.
And if you’re drunk enough that consuming the worm seems like a good idea, you’ve probably already reached “brain bleach” levels.
Hey you are back! Happy belated new year! I love this comic
I’ve just watched Falcon Heavy launching, very impressive, now some commentators are suggesting that Elon Musk was inspired by Ian Banks culture novels but I’m sure the idea of cars in space came from a web comic much closer to home 🙂
Yeah, was thinking that as well 😀
And here I was: thinking I could be a smartass by pointing out Gina’s car isn’t the only one the Orions can collect.
Oh well, at least we can watch it and see when they do; https://www.theverge.com/tldr/2018/2/6/16981144/spacex-tesla-falcon-heavy-roadster-live-stream
Also a possibility that at some point Musk saw the movie Heavy Metal.
Well if he put a model 1958 Corvette on the dash instead of duplicating the Roadster (complete with another Starman in the driver’s seat) I would say yes.
Darn it! once again someone beats me to the punch; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DWMPe3wF9jQ
Wasn’t there a tagline from a movie “In space nobody can hear… David Bowie sing” ???
