Star Strip Issue 1 page 13

Third page for this week! I'm currently working on page 19 so even at three pages a week I'm two weeks ahead.
This page introduces a new setting and intoduces some new characters. It's a Grey Guy and Gal! And who's that watching them? Could it be some guy from that ship in orbit in the first panel? Or is he just a red herring looking for a little devil headed fortune telling machine?
The planet Genelcoon is named for Gene L. Coon who produced and did much of the writing and re-writing on ST: TOS.
As established in Battle of the Robofemoids Grey Guys and Gals are supposed to be generic and interchangeable humans. So the resemblance to Hank and Babs from Battle of the Robofemoids is only to be expected of members of their subspecies. They all look alike, I mean they really do all look alike. So generic, but then that was the point.

Love the effect you're getting with this posterization or whatever it is! Space panel reminds me of classic cosmic Kirby.

@KimLuster: It's the name Gene L. Coon who was a producer/writer in ST:TOS. ;)

What is the play on words with GENELCOON? I thought the word looked suspicious but my synapses couldn't make anything out of it?

@Banes: there you are! Was wondering where you had gone to! :D Since this is Grey Guys meet Star Trek there better be Grey guys in the story ;)

Looks like a good Ramen place over there.

Nice play on words with the GENELCOON thing. Recognized it right off. Been to a few places like this when I traveled with the fleet. Dressed like our Grey Guys on liberty too. Hey, there's Bill.

Cool to see the Grey Guys (or at least, *some* Grey Guys/People) make their triumphant return! And I thought you named the planet Genelcoon because it's Noocleneg spelled backwards.

@fallopiancrusader: you get a cookie. The swineherd is a hobbit! Lost in the picture is that Frank is stepping over a chicken. (those little yellow legs)

Now it makes sense! Greyfolk like to get drunk by suckling pig's milk! I'm not sure the hobbit would approve, though...

That street scene looks fantastic! Wait a sec...! That's a real Swineherd over there, with real Swine! He wanted to try the Swineherd?!?! They are bar-hopping, right?
