That Ur-Quan Master #6

[Eth]

  This thread is for discussing The Ur-Quan Master #6.

  Whew!  I almost forgot to update!  I really need to figure out that auto-update function for my Flash applet.

So now all he has to do is wait for another pilot to die to rise in rank! Love the Fez as well.

I'm not clear on whether this is a second spathi or not. Strip 5 works either way -- the Umgah was joking that he was dead all along, or he was joking that he *wasn't* dead.

The link is taking me to #5 and the next and end buttons also take me to 5.  What'd I do wrong?

Hmm.... works fine for me.  Try clearing your browsers cache - it's probably being too helpful.

[Smoke353]

Didn't work, but switching browsers did it.  Hopefully my browser stops acting up by the next one

  I can only assume that your browser is hanging onto the previous SWF file somehow, and not downloading the new version.  Try putting this URL into your browser, and then hitting the refresh button.  http://www.ethanfleischer.com/tuqm/tuqm.swf

It's supposed to be the same Spathi. though I suppose it doesn't really matter; one Spathi is much the same as another.

[Smoke353]

Yep, refresh did it.  Now I just feel silly...

I love the use of the traditional Spathi morning prayer after he comes to, nice touch.

I can't really tell what's going on the second to last panel, though. Are they sharing a greeting? Calling each other by name because they know each other? Calling each other names because of interspecies animosity? Threatening each other while shaking their fists? Arm wrestling?

[Eth]

They're introducing themselves.  Huh.  When I get a chance I'll adjust the dialogue a bit to make it more clear.

Once again a nice comic ETH, from the first 6 updates I can only suppose that the Umgah, Spathi, and Ilwrath are the main characters.

[Eth]

Ayup!

[Nuclear]

Hey! Pressing your link downloads the comic to my PSP's memory stick. Maby now I can view it on my computer. Warships for everyone!

Edit: sadly it just says loading forever probably cause its trying to open a different link. (Read: dang!) You still get the warships though....

[Eth]

I'll try to rig something up for you next update, Nuclear.

Nice comic this time .
Though I have to say that that androsynth looks more like something went wrong in the dressing room for a halloween party, than dressing as an actual androsynth .
Aaaand I really hope that the Ur-Quan Master himself returns to the comic soon .
