this is your captain speaking

I am much too sleepy to do a proper comic now and I would really rather not just phone one in either. So I tell you what I will do: I will go to sleep thinking real hard about a comic, and then one will come to me in my dreams, and I will write that one tomorrow morning. Deal? Good. Have a good sleep!

admit it, you chuckled

If you think the third panel is cheap - and I'm not saying it isn't! - I would like to point out that (if I recall correctly) this is the first blatant fart joke in more than 700 comics. I have shown, I think, considerable restraint. ALL DOWNHILL FROM HERE THOUGH

 

There was a Youtube link to the Moroder song I had in mind but the link eventually broke and I can’t remember specifically which one it was any more. In any case, it doesn’t matter – the song didn’t actually make me sad. I’m sorry if you just now realized that sometimes I write things in my comics that aren’t true. [October 2, 2012]
