Angelo Kerman Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 The Kraken has been released! (I still think Martystu and the Kenlistar Awesome is out there. He is the best pilot, engineer, scientist and tourist in the fleet after all... ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Kraken has yet to make a move on KerbFleet but is engaging in direct combat against the Kerbulans. Is the Kraken really the guardian of Kerbalkind? Its dark knight? Kodzilla? They do praise the kraken, somthing the Kerbulans don't do. Maybe that has somthing to do with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

something Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 That facial expression of "I'm readin weapons fire" carries a subtle message - something like "The best thing that has happened during the past 15 chapters". Also I gotta protest against that cliffhanger... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that's Bill Kermulan for you. And OK yeah making that page was a hoot for me too Quote Also I gotta protest against that cliffhanger... It could have been worse. I thought of leaving it after the second page, and holding the third page for later...though you're going to protest this also, the next update (which is not coming today) won't tell you a thing about what happened to the Kerbulans. ETA (27 October): Actually it will. I couldn't resist. You're welcome Edited October 27, 2016 by Kuzzter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great question. I presume you're not asking me, since I'm the only one who really knows and I'm not saying But as an item of reader speculation it's a great question. Those who have been following along closely should be able to make some educated guesses, at least with respect to the Kerbulans' plans (presuming they don't just all get shredded by some kind of krakenus ex machina) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lame literary trick which can ruin a really good story! Kuzzter, you monster! @Garrett Kramme- My theory is it'll be around Laythe or Jool. Obviously it won't be at any of the other moons, because they've been visited (or attacked by a Kraken?). I posted a bit about this a few pages back, I think.

Deddly Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 Loving the story, especially the appearance of the Space Beet. But it does feel like they left Vall rather suddenly after making such a ground-breaking discovery. One might have thought they would have stuck around a bit - for science.

Fortunately, as far as the comic goes (Dislby's twitter account notwithstanding) Qwammer hasn't even arrived back at Intrepid yet--so I still have the chance to do a little hand-waving before leaving Vall canonically (<--note spelling, folks, that's two ns not three.

I think that's a bad idea. For one, it summons the Kraken, and for two, stealing, raiding, and handing out junk mail fundamentally go against what it means to be a Kerbal.

(Sure, I play trombone now, but my motto is "I was just on my way to the right note") I had to keep repeating to myself, "Every Good Boy Deserves Fudge" to get that last panel right. Yeah, I'm a piano player, that happened to me when I was young. The Vallhenge might be a hint to how the Kerbals can escape from the Kerbulans My hypothesis: The rectangular blocks might represent the Kerbulans. The pyramids represent the Kerbals. On one side there are no rectangular blocks, allowing the Kerbals to escape. So, as they say "There is always a way to save the day". Am I seeing things, or is my mind going nuts?

MARTYSTU AND THE KENLISTAR AWESUM ARE HERE TO SAVE THE INTREPID!!! But look at the scene where the thing attacks the ship. There is a part on the left that is brighter than the rest of the scene It looks like a tentacle is grabbing the ship. Then it makes way to a big mass with 2 weird round things.

I have a feeling that they can take a bloody nose. But they don't know what one is yet, because they do not understand the concept of fighting. Or stealing.
