Argghhh-onauts: 'Leven

Now, one of the conundra a 'toonist faces is maintaining that monomolecularly-thin line between the willing suspension of disbelief and flat-out absurdity.

Since the victim subject in the current series actually *is* a scientist, the 'toonist incurs the additional responsibility of insuring the storyline doesn't venture too far afield, moving into the realm of pseudoscience while maintaining the pretense that the arc actually *is* presenting hard science, rather than overblown speculation.

It's even more of a challenge when the 'toon appears on a respected MilBlog such as this, one that is reknowned for its elevated discourse and the refined, aetheric content of its posts and the astuteness of its readership.

So much for trolling for hits from The Corner.

But I digress. Here, there is a certain traditional, genteel decorum to be observed and there are additional lines which may not be crossed.

*ahem*




...but, sometimes ya just gotta say, "Eh!" to all that and go for the gag.
