Re: Freefall 3: Death Ray Byproducts
Plus it's not like she's going to be climbing or anything, so there's little reason to consider articulated legs as opposed to a mitten-type approach.

Re: Freefall 3: Death Ray Byproducts
My personal opinion? It's a design she made because the standard design does not accommodate a tail...
So it's simpler for a single-leg design that has her hop, rather than try to retrofit a standard design for her tail.Last edited by sihnfahl; 2021-02-21 at 12:13 PM.
May you get EXACTLY what you wish for.

Re: Freefall 3: Death Ray Byproducts
She has a little cart that pulls her around. She doesn't need to hop, and is probably well aware that one good thrust can achieve escape velocity.

Re: Freefall 3: Death Ray Byproducts
Yeah, this comic (2/22/2021) is one that reminds me why I love Freefall.

Re: Freefall 3: Death Ray Byproducts
I'm suddenly reminded of a great line from a mediocre movie.
"We'll just cancel the return ticket."
The folks on Jean are probably just buying Sam a one-way ticket, though.

Re: Freefall 3: Death Ray Byproducts
Is Florence wearing hooves-shoes? When did she become a furry?
Yes, I am slightly egomaniac. Why didn't you ask?

Re: Freefall 3: Death Ray Byproducts
She walks on her paws anyway, so any kind of boot or shoe (say, something with a maglock to keep her on the deck) is going to look hoof-like.

Re: Freefall 3: Death Ray Byproducts
I wonder how thurdad is going to judge the sqids. Is he going to say that they seem better than some humans? Will he agree with the people who have decided to close off Sam's world forever? The air is rife with drama!

Re: Freefall 3: Death Ray Byproducts
When Sam puts it that way, the similarities are striking.

Re: Freefall 3: Death Ray Byproducts
Sam's asking the important questions again. What's a road trip without snacks?

And again Sam makes that sound very familiar.

Re: Freefall 3: Death Ray Byproducts
I'm surprised, really. I was expecting Sam to answer "Government?"

Re: Freefall 3: Death Ray Byproducts
Sam may scoff at rules and steal everything that isn't welded in place, but he comes from a society that makes rules and understands ownership. Thus his people must have processes for making rules. Sam is best described as hyper greedy and acting out because he is bored. He may have a mechanical aptitude best written as a complex number, but he is very good at more social understanding (albeit through the warped lens of his skewed ethics).

Re: Freefall 3: Death Ray Byproducts
Sam seems to view the whole thing as a game he's playing with children. From his cultural perspective, that's probably about as true an assessment as he can make. Hopefully, he will eventually realize that the 'kids' aren't going to grow proper scavenger instincts and he'll treat them on their own merits.

Re: Freefall 3: Death Ray Byproducts
Sam clearly has the concept of rules ingrained into his mindset, as breaking them seems to be a discrete thing he aims to do. My guess (which we might actually get to test in the upcoming strips) is that Sam's society is very much like ours -- government, rules, ownership, theft, even war -- but it just operates with a much stronger tendency towards breaking the rules. A general non-violent tendency seems to be involved -- if you steal too much from me, instead of coming over there and smashing you or imprisoning you, I just steal right back.

Re: Freefall 3: Death Ray Byproducts
Hm. Cephalopods not passing the marshmallow test? Not according to Earth current events. Of course, I've only seen the clickbait teasers, not the articles...

Re: Freefall 3: Death Ray Byproducts
Sam's society is not like ours. They're back at the point where stock raiding was considered a game to show off how awesome you are. We're past that now, and probably even moreso in comic.
