Green Intern posted:It kinda irks me that every time someone is referred to Dr. Morgan's practice, they're able to get an appointment immediately. This strip is usually fairly realistic about its medical stuff, and this stands out. That strip is slow enough. I can't imagine how painful it would be if every plot included a six week wait to visit the main character.

Then the foce they should be feeling would be outward from the center of the ship, and the hole the cables are going to shouldn't be in the ceiling, it should be in the floor. I'd be more worried about the ship now being fatally unbalanced and in the process of shaking itself apart.

Nenonen posted:A decade later a railroad was built through the area and it was drawn to go over the grave, but when the engineer in charge learned about the grave and the story he made a slight detour so that the railroad embankment shoulders the burial site. As well he should. It's far more cost effective to prevent poltergeists in the planning stage than after construction.
