I hope this week ends with them suddenly passionately making love right there in the middle of the Morgans' living room.
I hope it ends with Tildy putting Andrzej through a table.

Imagine being the freshmen who attended this study session thinking that it'd be nice and quiet, or maybe even fun and educational, and then you see the RA constantly distracting everyone by nagging this couple to split up. How the freshmen haven't yet started a prank war against Bernice for being an insufferable rear end in a top hat is a mystery to me.


But Google already has a built-in autocorrect feature in its search engine. Is Holbrook trying to say that there's only one autocorrect function in this stupid world?

This is so loving dumb!

The part where the rock missed the meteor heading to Earth happened weeks ago. Considering how Mars threw it with such force that it was able to break orbit and catch up to the meteor, there's no way it should still be in the space between Mars and Earth.

Notice how there are no distinct or overlapping social circles? Everyone knows everyone else, and "everyone" is a very small group. Bernice can't have trouble with anyone outside the core cast, because other people don't exist. It's the principle of not introducing a new character where an existing one will do taken to a ludicrous extreme. Even where it would make much more sense for other characters to exist, they still don't.

"Autocorrect" is the personification of auto-correct features as a concept. She is present wherever such a feature is in use in the same way that the Grim Reaper is present whenever and wherever a death occurs.

Yes, sometimes things happen that directly contradict that interpretation but try no to think about it. Bill Holbrook certainly hasn't.

It's remotely possible that if the comet was in just the right position when the rock missed, it took a tight retrograde sungrazing hyperbolic trajectory and got hurled back at Mars.

But given that every astronomer humanity has was watching the rock and plotting its course, somebody should have mentioned the possibility long before now.

Judgment: Crew insanely unlucky and incompetent.

This reminds me of Gunther and Bets' first date and one of the comments that Julet Esqu posted. It was something along the lines of, "How DARE Bets take Gunther away from the cafe just because she's uncomfortable that all his friends are spying on their date! Doesn't she realize that Gunther's friends will be her friends soon enough?" Despite writing everyone as mentally in middle school, Team Evans doesn't get that different friend groups exist.


I got to say, this reunion between Tildy and Andrzej has been pretty sincere and heartwarming so far. These two seriously don't belong in the blandness of Rex Morgan.

In today's Corto Maltese: Bahiar encourages critiques and open debate, or I've said it before, and I'll say it again. Having a chin-strap over anything except your chin makes you look like a twit, or Are you sure that's Sorrentino, Corto? Maybe HE'S got a doppelganger as well!
