      Same. Every time I look at the dialogue free panels, I lose my shit.

      And it’s sibling that’s unrelated in this context:
      The agony of silence.

    from where in frictionless space did the port astronaut get the momentum to move forward for the kick? how did this person then return to their original position (their airhose has folded back over in panel 3)

    and why hasn’t the starboard astronaut floated out through stage left with the momentum of that kick?

      I was waiting for this useless observation. The comic isn’t reality, its a comic.

        but the comic would have been so much funnier if they had followed these simple principles of inertia!

        there could have been a whole row of panels showing the kicker inching towards the kickee. and the silent scream is so much better personified with the kickee floating away out od the panels.

        it’s like the reek-reek-reek loading of the next camera exposure in shaun of the dead when the protagonists encounter their first zombie. it’s a minor detail but it adds so much more to the scene. it’s that pinch of spice that completely transforms the dish.

        but, hey, i guess a lot of people do prefer the blander foods. so let’s just chalk this up to creative differences.

    There’s a theory that astronauts may be able to communicate in space without their radios by touching helmets together. Don’t know if it’s ever been tried.

    And speaking of touching helmets, I can imagine another version of this comic where Bob is making a sexy scream, instead.

    In space I doubt he was able to get enough momentum to kick through a space suit to do much. Which makes the last panel a WTF look.

    I thought the joke was related to the “AI” written on right’s helmet that was revealed in the last panel, but apparently that’s not it.

    You can’t hear the scream, but apparently you can hear the “Bam!” of a nut kick.
