Hang onto that crescent moon and the capsule will quickly orbit Cargo in an ever-tightening spiral and join him — it won’t be pretty, but it will be quick!
Ohh I wouldn’t say they don’t talk. Not in English I suppose, but Cargo is a future monkey! I can forgive the sci-fi genre for its future-biology. But as for that moon, Cargo might as well be holding onto a Penrose Triangle 😛
Maybe what he’s actually holding onto is some sort of crescent-shaped object of alien origin…
My retort came from an exhange I had with my wife a few years ago. We were watching Disney’s Oliver & Co on DVD and when the dogs ended up on the train tracks she said, “that vehicle can’t do that.” To which I replied, “dogs don’t talk.” We’ve used it ever since when someone complains about something in fiction that doesn’t match real life when there are more jarring things going on in said work of fiction.
That conversation does not sound unfamiliar 😛 I have a theory that suspension of disbelief requires certain foundations for support. Sometimes I find myself picking at plot holes for the fun of it, and other times I go out of my way to explain away potential plot holes in my disbelief’s load-bearing suspensions. But I do like to test them, in the same way a builder might bounce up and down on some floorboards to see how they hold weight. I think talking animals must be one of the concrete pylons of Disney. If only someone could invent a lexicon or a unit of measurement for this sort of thing…

Well in his defence (now that I think about it), the g-force created by the rockets might make it many times harder than climbing rope in gym. If it is, then that is one *durable* hose!
<morbo> MOONS DO NOT WORK THAT WAY! </morbo>
Maybe he can climb the air hose like a rope?
LOOKS AWESOME SMITTY!!!! 🙂
Ooooooo! Digging all the pretty colors!

What would Alan Shepard say to Cargo …He would probably say awesome artwork!
I certainly don’t dislike the “strips”, but it’s very nice to see these full panel masterpieces make a return appearance! Fantastic!
@tim: monkeys don’t talk.

@Tim: I’m now wondering why Cargo didn’t try that to begin with.
