[Comic for Friday, May 25, 2018]

References: Colonel Lionel Barker

[[Victor Brown sits in his cell in the ship's brig. As Fooker walks away, Brown hears a voice come from behind him.]]
Voice: It sounds like you've also run afoul of Wellington's graces, my friend...
Brown: What the $%&@... Who's there?

[[Brown turns to find the strange voice coming from a ventilation grate in the cell wall.]]
Voice: Just a fellow prisoner like you, another silenced dissenting voice...
Brown: Hold on... you're that army guy he says sold us out to the slimy aliens, aren't you...?

[[Our view switches to the other side of the wall. Colonel Lionel Barker leans against the wall next to a similar ventilation grate.]]
Barker: So now you're going to start believing Wellington's lies? Whatever truths you find convenient, I suppose...
Brown: [Through grate] I never said that. You got a better story?

[[We now see a cross-section of the wall, with Brown on the left and Barker on the right. Barker wears a smirk, while Brown listens intently.]]
Barker: My friend, I think we have a great many things to talk about...

No "Solo" spoilers please. I have no idea when I'll finally get to see it, and the last I want is to find out via social media whether Han, Chewie, or Lando dies... 13 hours ago
Today, I am no longer technetium. I am now ruthenium. I am inert, stable, and somewhat rare, although upon occasion I can be slightly radioactive. I am in your electrical contacts and fountain pens nibs, improving their durability. 1 day ago
Note that when I say the whole GPF site has moved to HTTPS, the mobile site has NOT and it's not going to. My next phase is reworking the main site to be more responsive and eliminate the separate mobile site altogether. Not sure when that's going to happen, though. 7 days ago
It's been a long time coming, but the entire GPF site should be running under HTTPS now. If you encounter any problems (broken links, missing ads, etc.), please let me know. 7 days ago
Few things are scarier than initiating a Linux OS upgrade, and then the power suddenly goes out. (O_O) (Yes, I have a UPS, but who knows how long it would last or how long the upgrade will take...) 9 days ago
