Trash!
Shaenon: Needs more lemurs.
Channing: Yeah, Shaenon, what the hell?
Shaenon: To make up for it, how about I run a special Narbonic/Skin Horse offer on the Couscous Store? Segue!
I’m currently building an office in my back yard that will double as a tiki bar, because that is how you get a lot of work done. It is possible that I’m doing this to free the spare room in the house for another project of a personal nature, but I cannot comment on that at this time. The important thing is, I need tiki bar funds.
So! For the month of March only, any purchase of Narbonic and/or Skin Horse books at the Couscous Store will come with an original tiki-themed character sketch! By me! Narbonic purchases get Narbonic sketches! Skin Horse sketches get Skin Horse sketches! What happens if you buy both Narbonic and Skin Horse books? I don’t know! Order some and find out!
Is that a reference to The Hunting of the Snark?
“They sought it with thimbles, they sought it with care,
They pursued it with forks and with hope;
They threatened its life with a railway-share,
They charmed it with smiles and with soap.”
Yikes, hope they don’t meet a Boojum.

She is an engineer for spaceships!
Now she’ll go into space!
With a lot of baggage, without a smile on her face!
But the ship is such a shambles,
I’m afraid her goose is cooked …
And the engineer rookie
Is gonna get rooked!
I love the difference in style between Larry and his brother (cousin? childhood friend?) and the rest of the crew. I guess it’s mostly in the eyes, but they almost look like they were drawn by a different artist – which is probably a decent metaphor for being an alien.
Welp… our intrepid new engineer is definitely NOT modeled after Kaylee…

*Is reminded of the scene from “The Trouble with Tribbles” where Scotty starts a brawl because a Klingon insults the Enterprise…*
Scotty:”Laddie… don’t ya think you should… rephrase that?”
Korax: “You’re right. I should. I didn’t mean to say that the Enterprise should be hauling garbage. I meant to say that it should be hauled away AS garbage!”
*Scotty decks him*
As an engineer I can assure you we are, indeed, both accurate and precise, besides being truthful.
Yes, it is a grave responsibility to be the interface between people and reality.
People know not what they ask, and reality has no mercy.
I’m betting getting both Skin Horse and Narbonic stuff gets you Artie
Hey, just because you got your desperate wish granted in a way you had no reason to hold high expectations in the first place does not mean you are allowed to be rude.
Heh, and now that it’s several years into the future, I know what that special “project” is all about!
