I'm sorry about the word balloons. I'd make the italic text more clear in an inked version. But the dialogue is: Patty: "I'll tell you the tale of a disturbed designer, a frustrated engineer, and MURDER most foul..." and Mal's line is: "I'll tell you the tale of a creaky old ship, two weeks layover at a seedy space station, and a large family of RATS..."

Good stuff as usual, though. :) I think their expressions are all the more evocative for being sketches. No problem with sketchy art here, either, but Patty’s lines are a tad hard to read!

Will fruitflies, cockroaches or fungus?

It was something of an unwritten code on board that no one discussed Chief Joe unless something happened, and as far as I know, there were only three or four times during my tenure on the boat where something happened that could not be explained away somehow. FWIW, the Chief wasn't so much the mischievous type as he was running the AMR1 space *his* way. If Joe really was a ghost, he did not know that he was dead. The cactus came along with us when we left the shipyard in Mare Island. Someone had tucked it away in an out of the way spot in the bowels of the engine room, but it was discovered once we were at sea. Being a submarine, sunlight was a problem, but when we had a port call for Midshipmen ops in San Diego, it was set up topside next to the shore power trunk. I recall a duty officer making his inspection tour of the boat topside, noting the cactus with no little puzzlement, then shrugging and continuing on with his tour. Sadly, the cactus met its end when the boat took a steep down-angle on the way to Hawaii. I wasn't there when it happened, but I'm told it was quick.

I may have to borrow from your ghost's antics if/when I ever do anything more with the Galaxion's apparent ghost. So when you say you had a cactus....? Insectoid, I had a notion what kind of hat Patty would be wearing, but I ran out of time and space (space in the panels, you know, not time and space in a Doctor Who sort of way) to tweak the image enough to make it clear. I'd tell you what that notion was, but after reading Shoe's comment I think I'm supposed to just nod conspiratorially and say <i>Yes, that's exactly what I meant.</i> (I really have no idea what brilliance you think I've made here, Shoe, but I'll accept it anyway! :-D ) J, that’s all kinds of awesome.

He never made any scratching noises, but he was known for shifting equipment lineups and making a mess with tools. Never had rats, but we did we have a cactus once...
