Star Strip page 107

And still Rickover remains… Rickover. One wonders how did he ever get command of a starship. But there have been plenty of people who have been promoted beyond their capabilities for one reason or another. Here is a Friday page since Niccea already posted the For Your Consideration pages over in the Drunk Duck Awards comic.

It was done with mirrors. No it was all done with images I already had shot, just composited in a different way. There was a bit more to some of the panels that got cropped.
The images had to have some additional fire to keep it G-rated. Originally there was going to be a torch in the hand but I decided what does a Falasnorian need with a torch? They're so highly advanced as to appear magical they have flame appear where ever they want it. And of course all Falasnorians look alike so making a crowd scene was all copy and paste.
Jenny's yelling face was all created in Photoshop. There is lots of moving, re-positioning and re-sizing involved as well as the painted-in mouth. They're really fun to do. NOT. Time consuming and taking lots of moving around and numerous re-dos to get each feature to look quite right. I figured Rickover would continue staring because Jenny (as she said) “On exhibition” is so captivating. Rickover gets “lust sick” has to conquer a woman and then move on to the next conquest.
Keep the comments coming. The comic is entering into his last pages but I doubt it'll finish before July so no nod as best completed comic would be possible.

I was watching some Japanese cartoon where the main character actually usses his lusty desires to progress and kick ass… that could be Rickover's motivation, too…

Priorities, people! First, let's jettison the creepy blue bald lady off into space, and then we can have all the awkward social interactions we want!

@plymayer: did you notice that other than the Master Chief all the enlisted are in red (service) uniforms?

Somehow I get the feeling that Jenny will be rescuing herself, because Rickover will be too busy wanking.

Awesome facial expressions and camera work! Rickover is a riot!--He sure knows his priorities! "Pass me some Jenny booty, please!" LOL!

Rickover may have slept his way to the captaincy - some powerful female (or male admiral or commodore) may have returned a favor or two.

No body ever mentions who has to clean up these messes on the star ships. The ENLISTED crew work their butts off after each adventure to clean up after what eversslimey monster or bloody space harvest thingee that happened in that episode.
