Moral of today: if you want to catch a pig, don’t grease it first.
I have to add: it took me SO long to write this punchline. I feel it came out okay, and I feel there’s still a decent flow. But it’s such a challenge to break up fight scenes and chase scenes every 6 panels or so with witty dialogue. Plus, so much of my humor writing is based on the conversational content of the situation, and there’s only so much situational humor (I can think of) related to punches and zooms. Still, I like a challenge and do my best!

Realizing the situation, Lasper said “Yakky, could you engage the extra ship-maneuvering interior gravity? Our passenger isn’t quite used to space chases yet.” From down a set of stairs, the dizzy dazed voice of Val was heard, “Not the right time… to engage rollerskate wheels.”
