    I mean, statistically they had to eventually blow up the right thing.

      If only by means of running out of wrong things to blow up.

      Wellllllll…, let’s wait until the right thing actually gets blown up before we start handing out the medals.

    Hmm. They’re St. Charlie Mads, so I suspect the weaponry they are about to deploy is both an incredible technological achievement and utterly ridiculous. Will it be effective against Kaiju-sized[1] veggietigers? I couldn’t hazard a guess at this point.

    [1] If HT is now Biollante, can we get ahold of Godzilla? I mean, I wouldn’t be surprised to find out he has at least an expy somewhere in the Narbonverse.

      Sadly, Mel has never shown up directly in the Skin Horse part of the Narbonverse

    Isn’t that one of the legendary signs of Armageddon?

    Does the phrase ‘spoke too soon’ mean anything to you, Sweetheart?

    In military-speak, ‘The actions involved in operating an artillery piece are collectively called “serving the gun”‘…(Wikipedia)

    Is Bubbles now Commodore Waters?

      That might depend on whether she bought this ship or is merely commanding it.

        It’s the USS Constitution, so whether Bubbles’s reserve commission in the US Navy has been activated depends on whether or not (1) the ship was stolen by these reprobates from St. Charlie, or (2) Skin-Horse et. al. are still fighting the good fight as part of the (shadow) US government…

          I would say that (1) yes it was, and (2) no, they’re not.

    All they needed was a competent captain to get them going in the right direction – and then blowing it to smithereens.

    It’s the pound-away season,
    The Constitution’s coming ‘round,
    The Biomass is thick on the ground,
    And headed for a good slam-down,
    They’ll be trimming down ol’ H. T. down

    It’s the pound-away season.
    The Constitution will deploy,
    And Bubbles knows about “destroy.”
    You know service is her only joy.
    She’ll be trimming down ol’ H. T. down.

    Throw some cannonballs upon it all,
    Save Our Sweetheart and her own Unity,
    They’ll do combat shtick for Lee and Nick,
    Shredding up the H. T. tree.

    It’s the pound-away season,
    They’ll try to crush them with a swack,
    St. Charlie crew will fire back,
    A hot-shot broadside gun attack.
    They’ll be trimming down ol’ H. T. down.

    —from “The Holiday Season,” written by Kay Thompson (that “Happy Holidays” part usually on the front and back of the song is by Irving Berlin), sung by, well, I’ll give the edge to Andy Williams.

    In need of some rapid support, the St. Charlie gang offer a sort. With Bubbles commanding it, their fleet is outstanding—there any destroyer escort?

    Captain Olympia Waters may – I say she just may – get to use her seventh word!

      Yes, I said seventh…

        ..and I have to mention how much I love the choreography in this week’s strip, especially panel 2 as the USS Constitution’s shadow passes over Sweetheart’s concerns like a soothing balm.
