Spare Underwear
Always pack spare underwear and never trust anyone who says they don’t wear any. The confused voice in today’s strip is Delenn from Babylon 5, in the purple White Star space cruiser. It just seemed like the sort of thing Delenn would not know about and ask just to make Sheridan uncomfortable.
An interesting side fact that ties into this strip and we have discussed in the past is that Carrie Fisher was told by George Lucas that they don’t wear underwear in space:
“Apparently Carrie Fisher didn’t wear a bra while in the Princess Leia senator gown. She was told “they don’t have bras in space!”. Ha hah! Good one George. But seriously, they apparently taped her *ahem* chest down, otherwise running around the Death Star would no doubt have been painful!”
You can check out this strip to see a couple of times we have referenced the idea. Strip 1 and Strip 2.
The other day, Mark Hamill posted the following picture on his Twitter account. So, Leanne tweeted him the pic of our Sith Training strip from our Empire Strikes Back parody. She squealed when she saw the notification on her phone that he had favorited it. So, Mark Hamill has definitely seen, and liked Blue Milk Special. @-_,-@

Always wondered why they made White Star purple when it could have been made mostly white. Or called it Purple Star?
Nice to see someone still prefers classic Battlestar Galactica over the newer series. The only one I can’t ID is the ship on the top right corner.
Power Rangers Space
it appears to be the astro-megaship from power rangers in space, in other words there’s a reasonable chance winthin the year we’ll get to see a megazord surfing on a star destroyer.
It’s actually a pretty common misconception that the “white” in “White Star” refers to the colour of the ship, but that’s actually a mistranslation – in the original Minbarese, the word is “wide,” referring to the width of the craft. True fact!
So the Black Star might have meant narrow or skinny? 😉
I like the not so obvious inserts. Didn’t recognize the white star temporarily. Star Trek Enterprise was fairly obvious. An obscure one made me laugh
This is a ‘Where’s Waldo’ of spaceships. I recognize a couple, but I couldn’t get the top right corner either.
As soon as I read the comment from the White Star, I thought, “Sounds like Delenn.”
I’m scratching my head over the ship in the top right, too.
Well done!
Great Minds think alike. 🙂
I’m pretty sure they are going to need clean underwear, if you follow the events of the movie…
Only thing misssing is the Heart Of Gold
When I saw the picture posted by Mark Hamill I thought: “Hey BMS shot first!” LOL.
Where’s the Red Dwarf? 🙂
I recognized the TARDIS and Enterprise… Yes, I’m not terrible familiar with the other non-sw ships. 😛
Is the one with the green sphere and three engines “The Liberator” from Blake’s 7 because if it is KUDOS to you.
I don’t know the series, but in earlier posts they explained how much they love Blake’s 7, so it is most likely it.
The Liberator was the first non-SW ship I spotted — even before I noticed the Enterprise.
This without the speech bubbles would make an amazing desktop wallpaper.
Beautiful panel! Those are some gorgeous back ends, right there.
Hold on!
Where’s the Jupiter 2?
I love this strip. I read it several times a week. I just wanted to take a moment to say thank you.
Thanks, Rich!
That’s the Megaship in the top right, from Megaranger. Had a good laugh over that one.
But… where’s the Satellite of Love?
