That’s all for the flashback,   folks!  Whew.  I should note that the Galileo is the second ship which Robinson lost.  The first may be discussed some other time.  Anyway,  now we know why Robinson hates Astor so much,  which is why I put you through this.

Also,  a side-note:  I know I often cite The Adventures of Tintin as an influence,  but really this comic has very little in common with it.  If you’re one of the Tintin fans who thinks that Tintin is overly emotional in the scene where he thinks that Captain Haddock has just been vaporized,  well,  I’d say you probably won’t like this comic.

And regarding the melodramatic side of today’s episode:  I realize that having the Galileo get blown up accidentally by a firework is really melodramatic,  but I wanted to stress the fact that there is no conceivable way the Captain could have averted the disaster.

Anyway,  thanks for reading everyone,  and have a happy holiday.  New comic should be  appearing on the 26th if all goes well.
