I know the last few pages have been a bit slow/static. It’s of course intentional (because of the theme(s)), and I love them, but still, know that the strip after this one finishes this scene and then we sally forth!

In the escape pod, Val said, “This feels like when I went to Hawaii with my best friend.” Audri asked, “Jo?” Val said, “Yeah. Jo. We just relaxed. Nothing to do but drink and soak up sun.” Audri said, “Yeahhhhh… this is awfully nice.” Val said, “I think I was perhaps a tiny bit hasty with Lasper.” Getting a little worked up, Audri said, “He asked you to mask your feelings. Not cool. And even if you were hasty, bridges can be mended, right?” Val said, “Maybe, but I’m going to need a belly full of snacks to feel okay about it.” Audri said to the first-aid-now-a-butler bot, “hey, butler, bring us tortilla chips and a bowl of guacamole as big as my head.” The first-aid-now-a-butler bot said, “If you mean metaphorically, i don’t think there’s a bowl big enou-” Audri cut him off with an angry pointed finger and said, “Oh, don’t you even think it, mister!”

Metaphorically, the bowl would be 6.022*10^23 times the size of a regular bowl. A mole of guac, or an Avogadro’s number of a number of avocados.

Reminded me of the lesson imparted in a wilderness survival class by a seasoned outdoorsman. He had just told the class how he once brought a .38 pistol to keep bears away from his forest campsite. He used it against the brown bear who showed up, but all the bullets did was make it angry. He climbed a tree to get away, as the bear’s claws were too long to allow it to climb. He was up in the tree, he told the class, for three days. Until the bear wandered away.
A women in the class gasped and said, “What did you DO?”
“There was nothing I could do,” the outdoorsman replied. “So I took a nap.”
