#006 - The space station contains potassium benzoate
It’s like, “ooooooh, look at me, I’m Worf son of Mogh, oooooooh, I think this campaign sounds deriiiivatiiiive, oooooooh…”
Geordi: Guys, those are all great story ideas and we can do them some other time, but, look, I’ve already planned out this whole campaign.
Geordi: You’ll be a motley crew of Starfleet officers having a series of adventures, interacting with alien species, resolving dilemmas through both diplomacy and combat…
Geordi: …balancing regulation and duty against the needs of the moment and unique ethical, cultural and sometimes philosophical challenges. What do you think? Pretty great, huh?
Bev: [skeptical]
Riker: [skeptical]
Troi: [skeptical]
Worf: [skeptical]
Geordi: Oh, I forgot! All of this happens…
Geordi: ON A SPACE STATION!
Bev: [delighted]
Riker: [delighted]
Troi: [delighted]
Worf: [skeptical]
I don't think it makes a lot of sense for them all to be so down on the premise, but I was trying to figure out how to pace out the whole introduction of the premise over the course of these first few steps and this is the joke we got this day.
I did really enjoy playing with the silent beat panels and this was the first strip to really foreground that. Grumpy worf always makes me laugh in this strip, which means Worf pretty much always makes me laugh in this strip.
