Coming Soon đ At the beginning of April, youâll be
introduced to a brand-new GoComics! See more information here. Subscribers, check your
email for more details.
At least we donât have to call him âthe guy who used to be the Moon Governorâ anymore. So⊠it looks like the Ambassador is taking us to New Moon Valley â at least if Honeymoon and Mysta can get over the shock. Tracy is a little suspicious.
This story is gonna be a snoozer which is a shame. It doesnât seem so long ago that Joe and Mike brought life and energy back to the strip. Oh, how times have changed.
Everyone have a happy, safe and meaningful 4th of July(except for Neil whose a Canadian hockey player!)
Honey certainly has âwowâ written all over her. Mysta looks intrigued but perhaps a bit skeptical like; will he take us there and not allow us to leave ?
and how DID Moon Ambassador get to the Tracy digs all the way from New Moon Valley?⊠I would assume by space coupe under the radar or under cover of a cloaking device⊠and where DID he leave it parked, if indeed he DID travel by coupe?âŠ
TRACY: "Like does this relate to those pamphlets I found daily on the doorstep all last week? The ones touting the âfun, fun, fun all-new Dungeon Resort and Waterboarding Park where that NEVER want to leave to return to stinky old Earthâ? Just wondering.
AMB (with an oily smile): Sheer coincidence, Iâm sure itâs just those wicked Martians trying to hurt our annual profits again, after their Rust World resort bombed.
Maybe the Ambassador wants Honeymoon to meet the rest of her family, including maybe a new aunt! It has been established that Lunarians have long lifespans, so there could also be several generations of previously-unseen relatives.
Since the Ambassador and Mysta will have some time together, I hope that the topic of Mystaâs âother fatherâ Posie Ermine can come up. I loved the brief time the Ambassador and Posie had teamed up to find and then help Mysta.
GUV: Thank you. Iâll begin with the traditional Lunar Blessing â May the Fly God buzz up your nose and out your butt leaving blessings all along its journey through your digestive system. Amen
2-DT: YAWN. Well, itâs time to turn in. Thanks for visiting⊠GUV: WAITâŠ
3-âŠJust before I was run out of office, I â 1: Made myself Ambassador and 2: Made it legal for Ambassadors to have multiple wives even if theyâre related!
4-JOE:Dang â still no sign of knockerzâŠ
5-DT: Given how you all look alike and are real simple minded, I thought you always inter-married?
GOVADOR: True but now itâs a law and not just a âȘâȘâ« Family Tradition âȘâȘâ«
âNew Moon Valleyâ is the first phase in the development of a planned community. Future expansions will include âCrescent Moon Valley,â âGibbous Moon Valleyâ and âFull Moon Valley.â
by the way, Iâve been wondering⊠when exactly was the term âLunariansâ first used?⊠to be honest, Iâm too lazy to go back and research it myself, so perhaps someone whoâs memory is a lot less burnt out and deteriorated than mine and has more patience to go through past strips, would be so kind as to provide me an answer to my query?
We know so much more about cosmology and planetology since the days the Moon people were introduced in the 1960s. Perhaps some backstory is in order. Since the Moon people have physiology quite different from what we find on Earth and in the Earthâs fossil record, they could have come from a different solar system. We imagine traveling to other worlds, and if the planets are inhospitable to us, the large moons that orbit them may be better suited, allowing for life-support technology. It could be that the Lunarians found the primordial Earth dangerous, with its ice ages, mass extinctions, etc. and so settled on the Moon instead. Meanwhile, Earth evolved its own intelligent life forms and milder weather and climate.
We see that Mysta and Honeymoonâs emotions/control of their powers reflected by there now being steam coming out of Honeyâs ice cream dish, but not Mystaâs :)
Unfortunately, we mere _readers_cannot hear Ambassadorâs voice, and so we do not know his inflection of the phrase New Moon Valley. . Is it a new Moon Valley? A New Moon valley? A new moon Valley?Must less do we know where it is, whether on the Moon or on Earth, most likely in Antarctica (which is where most folks seem to think the Lunarians resettled).
Nor do we know how nefarious his innocent-sounding invitation to Honeymoon and Mysta may be: is it, as several have wondered above, a One Way Only Invitation. Does he intend to hold the ladies against their will for some arcane reason?
There is clearly a lot more to this arc than has been revealed so far. We know from Mike Curtisâs posting that the tale will supposedly reveal what became of the Moon People (a.ka. Lunarians) after âMoon Valleyâ on the Moon was rendered uninhabitable. There are a lot of steps along the way, however. E.g., we still need a âhookâ to get Tracy into the story (which an abduction of the ladies could provide, to be sure)âŠ.

Chimera, she is sensitive. She senses something weird
Powerful. Unusual. And yet not to be feared.
There upon the darkened path, face hidden by a mask
Comes a man whoâs traveled far. A question he would ask.
Honeymoon knows who he is. They have a blood connection
Mother was his daughter dear. Their hearts filled with affection
For the one they lost too soon. A victim of foul violence
Mourned the loss forever more with sorrow and with silence.
Grandfather now Ambassador. Makes known his invitation
âCome with me. Such sights to see!â There is no hesitation.
Now comes a bold adventure. Their departure shall be soon
Plotted destination is The Dark Side of the Moon.

Mysta and Honeymoon look âpole-axedâ and I am glad that Tracy has questionsâŠ
He was checking out the âAmbassadorâsâ cloak in yesterdayâs comicâŠ
Hereâs a thought⊠I wonder if he is a âchimeraâ too ?
