That’s the argument they used in the 70’s to kill Moon exploration!

When Curiosity isn’t looking and NASA’s asleep at the wheel, the Mars Ants are gonna strip it and sell it for spare parts. Whaddaya think happened to the Polar Explorer?

This is SO my favorite comic. They say and do all the things I wish I had the courage to do and say. Hammie, I adore, and poor Verne, so misunderstood. LOVE IT. Thanks for drawing it and thinking it and sharing it.

Wait a minute. RJ once provided compelling evidence that he knew of Martian golfers. This is discontinuity! Oh well, not the first time for this comic.

Interesting fact: Summer Olympics cost $12 Billion, Mars Rover cost 2.6 Million. (Seen this statistic at PAX Prime)

Hmmm, I am assuming that Verne may have had a dream that RJ said it and that’s why you as the writer of this amazingly well versed commentary don’t remember strange martian golfers, WAIT maybe they mean Denise Rodman….doesn’t he golf? I am sure he comes from somewhere other than here.

Unfortunately RJs attitude is all too common amongst human type animals as well as ’coon type.
