Next stop, airship pirates!
With a crew of drunken pilots? :D
(it's a lyric)
They'll certainly be the terror of the skies but a danger to themselves.
So, like Dubious Company ?
Co-pilot to torpedo room...
He has an ish with that "-ish".
Babum t-ish
These two are ridiculously adorable. I don't know how you managed to not just start with them way back in Book One and have the whole rest of the entire comic be just various scenes of them flir--err, chatting. Yeah, that's what I meant.
To be perfectly honest, I've definitely been turning over ways of having more flashbacks involved, I like these guys a whole lot!
I can't even remember those others...what were their names again?
Harold and Snandy or something like that
oh, that's right. Now I remember. And one of them is some sort of street entertainer . . . a juggler I think. And the other one plays the pipes? Or fixes pipes? Something to do with a pipe . . . .
And there's like a dude called Mel who can hear ghosts or something.
Yeah, he has a friend called Fox, I think? Or maybe Coyote? Jackal? Yeah, that sounds about right. Swedish, if memory serves.
Oh yeah, that guy that played the tuba
No, no. It wasn't a tuba, it was a Sousaphone. They're much more portable.
Not that they ever actually TRAVEL anywhere, it just makes it easier to dance while playing.
Are you sure? Cause I thought that Coyote was a character from Gummibear Chord. Still a musician, but wrong comic.
Trying to figure out a way to up vote this idea multiple times... ;-)
After the comic is finished, maybe some extra stories about them?
Because a comic entirely focused on characters getting it on would be both boring and effectively porn.
I said nothing about bedroom activities. Unless you're watching the tamest version of Pornhub ever created, I don't think there's anyone anywhere who would call being chatty/adorable--or dare I say even flirting--"porn".
Raunchy, raunchy flirt-porn! Hot hot hand-holding, with EXTREME BLUSHES
bwahahaha!
Don't know if I've mentioned it in so many words before, but I'm pretty sure I love you :D
is still laughing
Eh... its all the same in the end. Human mating shenanigans.
While I get that life is biologically predisposed to attribute an unusually high degree of importance to such things, especially in the absence of threats to survival, it doesn't make for very good fiction on its lonesome.
Call me "-ish"
Hi "-ish"
Nicely done.
Nice to see Mr Barber being politically correct and allowing Ms Holt to push the boat out rather than insisting on doing it for her.
Well, he wouldn't want her to think he looks at her as a fragile maiden, now would he?
Given her day job and her general persona, anyone who does is gonna be in for a shock.
You honestly think he's going to let Henry push it?
Someone had to stand on the bow posing dramatically.
Henry is still alive. That definitely speaks in favor of his ability to land.
Worst case, Henry can get out to push.
That may true, if we consider "crash landing" as a subcategory of "landing".
Not "crash" - "walked-away-from".
"Please confine your crashes to the far end of the field."-old aviator adage
As a pilot of my aquantaince likes saying "Any landing you can walk away from is a good landing" (I think it's a quote from "The Right Stuff", Chuck Yeager may actually even have said it in real life).
Fun fact: During the later days of WWII, the Germans designed [a plane](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bachem_Ba_349 "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bachem_Ba_349") that had a combination "eject" and "make plane fall apart" button instead of the ability to land.
It's worth noting that, no, the pilot did not walk away from it
during wwII gemans made a rocket plane that had to use up all the fuel in the air, otherwise it exploded on landing. (me 163 komet). It was not a good time to be a pilot.
Hoban 'Wash' Washburn: This landing is gonna get pretty interesting.
Capt. Malcolm Reynolds: Define "interesting".
Hoban 'Wash' Washburn: [deadpan] Oh God, oh God, we're all going to die? Capt. Malcolm Reynolds: Just get us on the ground!
Hoban 'Wash' Washburn: That part'll happen pretty definitely.
Oh, I like how helfull Henry is! Standing there and pointing them in the riht direction. They wouldn't be able to go through the door without him.
And this adventure cannot possible go wrong, right?
I love the first panel so much. Henry's pose!
That was going to be my comment! The camera angle in that panel really works, too.
Soooooo, what is going to wind up tearing through the wing? :D
Perhaps a confused bird . . . or one of Miss Ira's knives . . .
Oh, this is gonna be great!
I really, really like these two together :D
Oooh, and the circles are doing a Beam-me-up-Scotty kind of glow - do they summon the joy of flight?
Henry, you've gotta stop yanking people's chains.
I had thought that he was smitten, but, my heavens, she seems to be quite enamored, too.
Next time, Victor, verify that the reckless pilot remembers how to steer this thing BEFORE you hit the ignition.
Enter a Chekhov's gun!
Isabelle, you shouldn't ask questions like that. You'll jinx it!
