After getting hot coffee on your lap – and face – you don’t need the caffeine anymore.

Despite its name, don’t expect Starbucks to open a store in space anytime soon.

Why’d he quit the jokes of that robot forgetting things in before the week was up?

Last panel is great!

The spaceship seems to be under power, so there would be inertial ‘gravity’.

If that’s Winky, he’d better protect his spleen!

Wasn’t there already a lawsuit about serving hot coffee?

Excuse me, do you have tea?

Certainly, here you go, sir.

AAHHH!!

There is no such thing as zero gravity

{"We switched Ensign Kenny’s regular coffee with De-Caf, do you think he’ll notice?"}

“AAHHH!!!”

{"No…"}

They can’t serve the coffee in one of those “to go” cups – you know – like a sippy cup?

Astronauts have been drinking coffee through a straw for decades.

Hot little decaffeinated spheres.

That project’ still in beta.

Someone’s gonna be missing a spleen soon.

The R. U. Sirius has artificial gravity but the rocketships still don’t, whatever device and technology provides it in this comic universe may require a certain amount of room more available on a station than a vehicle.

Imagine coffee in zero gravity: a brown/black blob of hot strong smelling and tasting liquid floating through the air, waiting to burn anyone without a straw.

This is too stupid to make me laugh… as much as it did!
