There’s a team … in the government,
And in strife … all the day they’ve spent!
They at last agree that they won’t dissent
Until their jobs are done!
There’s a plane … sitting on the roof,
There’s a guy … holds himself aloof,
And when Sweetheart asks, he don’t give a woof!
It’s time to have some fun!
[CHORUS:]
He’s watching Space Dandy, it’s a fine show!
He could watch it all the day!
It’s a fun, fantastic, and filthy
Anime!
Now Dandy is a dandy guy,
And in space, he is a dandy!
At the res-tau-rant that lies nearby,
The girls are all eye candy!
And on Netflix,
You can bet that Nick’s
Got a queue that he’ll download!
And now he’s watching ev’ry … episode!
Now today … all the files we’ll share!
Where is Tip? No one knows just where …
But our Sweetheart uses her instincts there,
And off to Nick she’ll run! [repeat CHORUS]
If you’ve ever seen the Oh My Goddess Mini Goddess spinoff anime series, then you’ll have a pretty good sense of the general flavor. The humor and art style are remarkably similar, and I think there’s at least one of the english VAs in common too. Obviously it’s a completely different setting, but if anything, that just seems to have let them ramp the general weirdness up to 11
“Nick cares not for your petty office squabbles. Now, begone from this place! Nick wishes to enjoy the works of Mr. Watanabe unabated!”
Yes, you see, Space Dandy, is a dandy guy, in space. And thus more important than your problems.
Not just “in space”, but “IN SPAAAAAAAAAAACE!!!”
Wait, what’s Nick’s task?
He couldn’t come into Gavotte’s office to get one.
They were sent via email.
I suppose his spam filter couldn’t handle it.

I keep forgetting to check Space Dandy out. I am a Watanabe fan, so I really need to get around to it one of these days.

Considering the General Weirdness Factor (GWF) of this strip is somewhere around 7 or 8, that’s saying something.
Now all we need is Dr. Lee and this story arc will be complete.
Wait, why doesn’t Nick have an important task assigned by Gavotte?
Actually, theory time – this is Godot’s work, which is why Nick doesn’t have a task.
