Latest blog post: Redraw of chapter 1 is happening (2024-05-11)
Author's comment:
Just in case disclaimer: author of the comic condemns consumption of alcohol in any way or form, since it is a reason for a great deal of suffering, casual violence, and mistakes to be regretted on the next morning, but a comic is a fictional work that can have some otherwise unacceptable events and behaviors to be present in it. This page does not promote alcoholism. Don't do drugs, kids!

I do not drink but I think even I would have taken a double.
Or just like that. Big gulps straight from the bottle.
"We rescued him"
And also separated him from lots of survival equipment, some of which he may need. And failed to get him professional medical attention, which for all they know he may also need. But you know, details details... :P
Things these people are not: medics, linguists, diplomats, nutritionists, sensitive-information handlers, security guards...
They concluded (probably correctly) that exposure was more dangerous to this guy than medical incompetence. He doesn't appear to be horrendously injured, but they literally just saw the government shoot down his craft, and they don't even have the context to realize that wasn't done with informed malice. Besides, in this case a trained professional would probably be worth a lot less since they'd have dangerous bad habits and their knowledge beyond basics would likely be worse than useless.
I'll drink to that.
