A good time to start gettin’ fancy with gradients.
The Martians had an English sign on their haven?
Had to follow Federal standards for bi-lingual signage?
Well it is an embassy. This place obviously must have been built before the genocide, and it’s entirely possible that the Martians that Linda and Anthony fought were just as much regarded as criminals by their own kind as they were by humans.
What I’m getting at is that the Martians on Earth generally had a good relationship with the humans who onew about them.
What I love about this is that it continues their hilariously terrible grasp on the English language. Mars Haven. A haven for Mars. The entire planet is safe in there somewhere!
Heh. I thought that V was a U.
…Marshauen?
I was thinking maybe it was a really dreadful attempt at trying to spell ‘Martian’.
I’m greatly confused by how the hell you can have an open dry dock underwater?
It has a roof, so it forms an air pocket.
It operates on Minecraft rules, and the Martians placed wooden signs along the edges of the door
The air in the pocket would have to be under same pressure as the water I think in order to be able to push back on it. And considering that they are deep . . .
…it would have to be a high-pressure blend of air, similar to what is used in deep scuba diving, that counters the water pressure. It’s called a moonpool.
It’s actually realistic!
For a moment, I thought I’d read “it’s called a Melonpool”.
Not gonna lie, Head Alien doesn’t usually appear super menacing (it’s his actions that make him look evil) but that pose just looks like he has evil plans going on.
…So, that’s the answer to Walky’s question. They haven’t used up their “uh-oh” quota.
But there are better quotes to use, like: “Zoinks!” or”Jinkies!”
But, see, for that to work, Sal has to be wearing an orange turtleneck sweater and thick glasses.
…That sounds… disturbingly cute.
Actually, they have used up their quota – SEMME is going to get overdraft charges.
They never had a quota. Every “uh-oh” costs Big Boss another 120,000 dollars.
…but considering the squad, SEMME just eats the charges.
I hope the pillar in panel 1 wasn’t actually load-bearing.
Well, it isn’t now.
Punch him in the dick.
You’re at the perfect height.
You make a lot of assumptions about alien anatomy.
It’s Head Alien. All of him is the dick.
Head Alien: The Anthropomorphic Dick
Hm.
Well, judging from how Sal jumped in the next comic, it might be near his head.
…
Heh heh.
True. Unless his suit is bigger on the inside, we can assume he is short.
