I'm all caught up on TASS and dying for more. Trying to figure out the little biological quirks of a new planet's species is a surprisingly fun puzzle.

If the village is under the reverse gravity zone, will that mean all the buildings will be on the ceiling of a cave?

I just had a thought. What if there are no real kaladihr? What if it's a natural part of the twolesy's biology that they've evolved out of? There's even precedent for that on earth with the axolotl.

Or what if kaladihr are all just mentally ill twolesys?

Next page: a biology update explaining why gravoola demons are invisible to humans.

But are they invisible to limbchoosers?

Human beings actually do kind of the same thing, as Walter Cannon documents in this classic article (link to PDF).

Which is why Not-Plume (Ben?) was feeling a stomach ache after the wizard cast the spell on him.

Dinnertime must be utterly harrowing for these aliens if vegetables are such a source of dramatic tension.

This is like a miniseries version of Lies Sisters and Wives and I'm loving it. There's no way Ben can out-shout four of these aliens as they try and figure out what the hell everyone else is talking about.

This arc is great. It seemed like a typical Thorsby farce, but it's also a mystery story. The mystery being: what's the gimmick?

That's what I love about his writing, every new planet is a puzzle.

If she was threatening to stun blast him, why wouldn't she draw on him first when he's busy with an armload of Not-Plume?

Though, knowing Thorsby, if she had stunned him somebody else would have come in and had the exact same conversation with her and so on until the entire ship's crew was lying unconscious in that room.

1. I love how they have a tiny jail cell available with little air holes punched in it, and

2. I love how Thorsby throws out the big melodramatic romance reveal only for it to be immediately (but realistically) shut down.

10/4/13 comic

The first half is pretty reasonable, saying inoffensive nonsense and then bowing out quickly, but I see nothing good coming of their decision at the end.

This is one of those things where the character designs and names and relationships and lies upon lies are all so layered that I don't think I'll be able to appreciate the chapter until it's done in its entirety and I go through in one sitting.
