LOE 011

LOST ON EARTH 011 is in fact a 'filler' comic as I mentioned in the last blog entry. No major revelations...no major progress of the story or plot...just simple comic relief. And it provided yet another contradiction. How in the world did Dr. Skwidd get that Sudoku puzzle book??? I mean...they haven't even left the ship yet, right??? Well, as you'll be seeing soon (either in 012 or 013), there's a reason why the good Dr. has a fascination with Sudoku, and I will elaborate more on that in the coming weeks. For now, let's just talk about that Sudoku book.

As with all stories, there are things that happen that you just have to assume take place 'off camera'. So...let's review what we know about our LOST ON EARTH characters. We know that Allen is an Android, Dr. Skwidd is highly intelligent and Fishtarr is a bounty hunter. We know that they are traveling to Earth to raid our supply of Twinkies, as that is the main ingredient for interspace travel. So given just this little bit of info, we can assume that SOMEONE has had to have already visited Earth to get Twinkies or at least learn about them. And this SOMEONE probably managed to take some of our Earth culture back with them to wherever they came from. Thus, Dr. Skwidd has a Sudoku puzzle book.

Now...before you cry foul and tell me that's too far fetched. That whole last paragraph will become a MAJOR plot point for Allen and Fishtarr once they leave the ship. Who is this SOMEONE that we are assuming has already visited Earth? What is their possible relationship with Dr. Skwidd? And...how will this ultimately affect the LOE characters? See...it's all a mystery when you get the inside scoop from the guy that's writing this stuff. :)

Later!
