WCDT: 2131-35 (27 Feb- 2 Mar 2012) QC IN SPAAAAAACE! Week 6
pendrake:
For comic #2133..
1. For the comic title, I could see how zero-G Volleyball could be illegal. One really hard ball-spike could literally decapitate someone.
2. Well the shippers can now cite and fan-fic how Marten and Hannelore got sweaty in zero-G... :psyduck:
3. At least Lt. Potter is not roaming around with cheap space booze wearing only a bra and military pants. Though I will not envy her space hangover.
4. Station's holographic booze flask and holographic drunk bubbles amused me. Wonder if Station will experience a emulatory hangover?
5. Hopefully this will not result in drunken holographic zero-G make-outs between the two, either :-P .
6. I also liked the Jeph-revised resolution between Lt. Potter and Station better than his original script (on Jeph's Tumblr), and it still works out towards good humor anyway.
7. To Principle! WOO.
8. @Soulsynger... My impression of many political leaders is also that they are more about being popular than being S-M-R-T! I mean-

Just a word to the wise, you're NEVER really off-duty.

Ehm, no... In zero-g the ball won't go any faster than on the ground, because it's still momentum of hand vs momentum of ball at the moment of the spike. It just won't fall to the ground all by itself. And the mass of a volleyball is far too low to decapitate somebody unless you manage to get it up to ridiculous speeds that not even a professional player would be able to manage...
Now all the momentum changes for the players because of playing and spiking the ball would make it a very bizarre sport to do in zero-g...

--- Quote from: Deadlywonky on 28 Feb 2012, 23:26 ---Isn't it possible that station's acting drunk to Lt. Potter as drinking buddy, but isn't actually drunk at all? In other words, as I might do to pretend I've had too much, slur my words, stumble about, lose volume control etc but be fully sober (or mostly sober).

I'm sure it's possible, but I don't see it being likely. I doubt that Jeph would have given Station the drunk bubbles if that were the case. Unless Station is truly omniscient and knows that Jeph draws all of his drunk characters with bubbles so he projected them to ensure that he really did appear to be intoxicated.
:psyduck:

What did say?
Lt. Potter going for the hard stuff. :-D The "woooo" face. Absolutely hilarious.
Bourbon or whiskey though?
Drunk emulation? :-o What would drunk orbiting look like?
Anyway, Hanners looks good in a badminton outfit. And I thought Marty might go more extreme with the badminton look.
