He’ll be lucky if Cliff doesn’t turn him into space French fries. Of course, that would be a lot of work by Cliff’s standards.

Would an asteroid inside the space station cheer people up any more than a space potato?

He’s not the mascot they need, but he’s the mascot they deserve.

I wouldn’t have guessed either potato or asteroid. But never mind, maybe it’s just me.

Do I get to dress up as the spaceship from ASTEROIDS before I do it?

I like the name “Space Potato”. Ain’t NOBODY else go a Space Potato!

I am afraid he will end up being microwaved by Karnor.See yesterday’s strip.

I thought that he was a spleen!

I don’t even want to tell you what he looks like to me.

He looks like a hot dog bun!!

Twinkie, definitely Twinkie…

Potato. Right. We’ll just go with potato, Ensign Hankey.

Has anybody noticed that the “REC” battery indicator has gone from white to black to white over the course of this arc? ☺

Really an odd shaped asteroid (and yes, I know that there are a few)

I thought he was a pickle. That would be fitting, being in a pickle.

Careful, Ensign, that’s Captain Doofus to you!

“And a FINE asterisk, asteroid, hemeroid, aster… whatever you are.”

OK we will shoot you!!! Zap Bang Zip-Twang Pop Pop Ping ZapSplat. Well that was fun and a good Morale boost!!!!

He wouldn’t last very long on a military vessel by calling its commander a doofus to his face.

He reminds me of Ross’ Spudnik in TOW the Halloween Party, minus the antennae though.

Who has positive associations with asteroids anyway? Except people who like to blow them up in an old-school video game.
