It’s a proposal!
Believe it or not, we have been sitting on this strip and sub plot for five years now. I was originally inspired by the photograph on the internet of a bride and groom dressed as Mon Mothma and Admiral Ackbar getting married. It’s been the number one thing I’ve been looking forward to revealing. I think I did a good job of keeping it secret. I might have told Eric about it at some point, but then, if you hang out with me for long enough I tend to spill the beans on things. 🙂 Here is the news article.
Biggs is settling in nicely. It is hard to believe, but this Friday is his one week anniversary. Darth Vaders TIE prototype is almost completely destroyed! He has a great personality. Very friendly and affectionate. Climbs all over me and is obsessed with what we do in the bathroom. He has a sort of nervous tick where he goes to clean one of his hind feet and starts fighting with it. Nothing too bad, but amusing. He also loves running around the house and bumping into things. He’s zany, like most cats, but also respectful of our personal space when we’re sleeping. I’m not sure I want to try and paint his whiskers black to match his namesake as I’m sure he will take a bite out of me. But thanks to Eric for the suggestion! 😉
I have a Hound Transformer action figure, a Predator 4″ inch, and some other goodies up for sale on eBay. Obviously the funds raised help us, including Biggs… who needs litter and food! If he doesn’t get fed, he eats Biggs Darklighter, and Oola too! 😮
*claps!
How Much for Biggs???
I’ll take him (The figure not the cat).
That is I would take the cat, but my wife would kill me, and I doubt he is for sale…
As for the strip, this is getting REALLY SILLY!
Oh, wait this is BMS it is supposed to… 🙂
Marriage?! It’s a trap!
It’ll never last. Inter-species marriages never last!
Judith Durham looks good as a redhead.
Certainly a surprise.
Also a nice action shot of ‘Biggs’ leaping into action.
you have to hope that the best man was also dressed as a Calamri and did the “it’s a trap” line at some stage during the wedding
Just discovered this comic a few days ago. Its brilliant! Read it all and have one burning question. How does the Death Star get around? In all the ‘real’ views or holographic displays I had never noticed any engines at the back.
Maybe it rolls? 😀
But who’s pushing?
According to the wiki page, it has a network of ion engines all over the superstructure that allow it to maneuver within a planetary system for targeting, and an array of over a hundred hyperdrive generators to travel between systems at faster-than-light speed.

A few weeks ago Friend of a Friend texted me, ‘Hey you like Star Wars? You have some of those toys, check this out’ and it was a Link here, the Friend I put on to it got him onto it and it came back to me.
Last night one of my other friends saw the print of Boba Fett surfing, went closer and said cool, and thanked me for showing the strip to him. So long story long, keep up the good work
Poor general madine, always the brides’maid, never the bride.
Normally in sci fi, this sort of thing on the eve of battle would inevitably lead to the tragic death of one or both, but Mon and Ackbar are protected by plot. Although Leia’s trip with Han seems to have been changed. And Boba’s back. Uh oh… Anyway, congratulations! 🙂
Or are they?
Dun Dun Duhhhh.
That’s a cool pic.
