Especially when it was tied off so neatly and appropriately. Though, Sabine’s wrath at Nale’s death? Yeah, that thread could still have some more development. And probably will, if she shows up again, which this episode makes look extremely likely. ---

**[1184](http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots1184.html)**We needed a whole strip and over a week’s wait for this? Yes, it was very endearing. ---

I’m laughing at myself, being so repetitive with my comments about the comic. I’m expecting too much from each new installment. Damn, he’s slow though. ---

Durkons mom has some serious survivors guilt. She’s turned her missing arm into a badge of mourning and doesn’t want to give it up. ---

Okay, I wasn’t expecting _quite_ so many domestic scenes at the end of the chapter. Surely the next strip will be the end of the book. But drunk Roy is fun. ---

Bandana is great. I know she’s a bit player but I hope she has some impact on the overall outcome. ---

For a guy who should have a high CON score, Roy seems to be a bit of a lightweight. ---

There wasn’t much to that strip. I feel like Rich owes us one more reveal in the book – perhaps Curly down the hold, communing with Hel: “They suspect nothing, my Goddess”. More seriously, I suspect the book closes with something ominous observed by O-chul and Lien at the NP. ---

Note the captain said a TRIPLE negative. Which, logically, is the same as a single negative. ---

More seriously, I suspect the book closes with something ominous observed by O-chul and Lien at the NP. Yeah, me too. Shouldn’t this thing be done already, and in the printer’s hands if he wants these books available for sale for before-XMAS delivery? He’s already blown past having them available for Black Friday, unless he’s done already, and is dribbling out free content. I’ve expected the ending for about three strips now. Any later significance to Bandanna not knowing/caring how the engines work? Or is this Burlew trying to de-Mary Sue the character, as well as show her skills in delegation and administration? EDIT: I.E., a good captain shouldn’t necessarily know every detail about how every system works, but should know enough to choose the right expert for the job, enough to ensure the expert is working diligently at the task, and knows to not unduly second-guess the expert once the task has been delegated? ---

I assumed that Bandana was making the point that Andi, post-mutiny, was still part of the crew as well as giving Andi the ego-rub of having some sort of authority on the ship. ---
