Pink, from what I see, it is an airborne pathogen. The organism reproduces rapidly, which also makes it mutate faster. If it kills its host, the more virrulent strains won’t propagate. The weaker strains on the survivors will continue to propagate and mutate.
BTW, they are going to investigate the pilot … watch for another exploding head.
Yeah, 3rd degree burns will kinda melt the fat a bit. Looks like Mr AM-Wuz-Willbe is gonna have to put Custard and Puff somewhere else … or is it a Leaping Lizard?
I agree with JP. Heat was the most likely cause. However, perhaps it is one of the missing fire-breathing dragons: “Custard” (1959) and/or “Puff” (1962). As their stories go, I recall they disappeared a while back. It would have been more suspenseful if the Annie artists had included: “Holy crap! What is that!?” then follow with “Oh No! No! NOOOO! Mayday, Mayday ….”
Sigh … are they ever going to open that stupid desert bunker?
I guess they will go back to the goose miniplot next … or is it the FBI agent … or Tom Thumb with his floating tin cans …. or is it with Warbucks still looking at the moon.
Let me guess … eventually in 2012 this comic strip will finally open the desert bunker, and inside they will find a mumified senator having a mumified goose dinner with a mumified ET.
Haven’t read Rare Earth, but even at the complex celluar level, given the likely existence of numerous stars with planets of the right mass in the right location, it is also both probable and likely that “uncommon” life exists elsewhere. The fact that it exists here is awesome.
