If you didn’t catch Wednesday’s strip with the politicians (it was posted in the evening), then don’t forget to hit the back button for that. Amazingly enough, I managed to do three strips this week, so you don’t want to miss page 218.
So here’s the big speech with Gilrec. But how will it end? What’s Vellara going to say? Will this be enough to break the engagement? Just wait and see.

That speech was enough to make Madeline break off her engagement with Gussie (much to Bertie’s chagrin), so I think it will work here.
NIIIICE! I love it! I wonder what Gilrec’s reaction to this will be when he’s sober…
Whooo! Destiny!
I can’t get enough of Gilly’s facial expressions in this comic.
Thanks! Yeah, Gilrec’s expressions were the most important part of this page. I had to really look at all my work for ideas. My favorite is panel 6 where he says what a beautiful galaxy it is. I just love the way that wasted smile came out.
“Rondulan Ale” huh? I assume you’re familiar with the S.P.O.C.K. song of nearly the same name?
Totally thought of that song as I read.
Awesomeness!
Actually I’ve never heard of that song, but I wanted to reference Bone’s line from Star Trek II and I didn’t want to actually use the term Romulan (I don’t want to get sued, that Paramount is crazy
). So Rondulan sounded close enough.
