Taking the whole concept of “breaking bread” to a new extreme
There’s been some interesting news about Mars oceans and lakes in the past few days, in case you’re like Mike and have no interest in alien snacks
– The Rise and Fall of Martian Lakes
– Evidence of Martian Megatsunamis
And btw, Mars is at opposition this weekend, meaning you can see it with your naked eye on Sat and Sunday nights. Definitely take a peek; it’s fun to look at Mars without a telescope!
And, thanks to Patrons, we’re going to be having daily updates here for the next week or so. The funded tutorial is also going up soon since I’ve been working on that in between everything else for the past week or so, and we’re nearing the end of the month. Thanks again for your support, you are what’s keeping this comic up and running.

Awww come on, Mike!
You’re an organic cyborg!
I would start looking at this glass half full!
YOURE TALKING TO A MARTIAN FOR PETE’S SAKE!
You’re like, halfway through the science fiction hero spectrum!
Could you explain the science fiction hero spectrum?
Well, the second half is having sex an alien princess and killing a guy in a cape.
At first glance I thought Mike had crushed Thrip friend because he was thriping in his ear or something, upon further inspection I see that he crushed whatever “food” Armshark offered him, Thrip friend gets to live another day!
Me too! I laughed *way* too hard.
That expression in panel 2 is so sassy. I love it.
Come on Mike, Kallakore turning it’s head backwards isn’t that disgusting – And you’re supposed to mash your nutrients with your teeth, not your fingers!
I feel like the backward head is like a gesture of amusement…
I’m wondering how long Armshark’s patience is going to last. Such impudence Mike!
I’m a substrate, you’re a substrate… wouldn’t you like to be a substrate, too!

I KNEW IT, OTP CONFIRMED; FIX HIM UP, THIGHFRIEND.
In any case, that’s a perfectly natural response to learning that you’ve become a victim of Martian body horror.
Mike, you’re eating it wrong
“Mike, I am no psychologist, but I would dare to say that that was rude.”
And I just noticed the army of thrips surrounding the gang
PS: Today in bonus art: Martian Dating sim! Enjoy an out-of-this-world experience!
I agree, that was definitely rude.
thrip
Are those a heap of Thrips around Mike’s bed-rock possibly cleaning up his earlier chunder?
You know… As much as we can feel sorry for Mike because of his past ordeals and personal troubles… There is a limit… Goto certainly doesn’t seem to have exaggerated. I mean… Let’s say his uncle had a similar past and ordeals. They might explain his transgressions… But not necessarily excuse them.
People can be assholes for a wide variety of reasons~ Sometimes a rose is just a rose, and sometimes you just found out you can breathe underwater because you have an external gill cemented to your femur.
and toast bread with your head
So much Mars news this month *_*
For some reason I just lost it at the “Er-“
Etiquette has never been Mike’s strong suit, it seems. Whatever that may be on Mars. Er-
It has been a great week to sit outside and enjoy our red neighbor, even with the bright moon :)
I just love KK’s body language! The upside down head is both cat and birdlike…
“Humans… we like violence!” ™
Looks like Mike reached the end of his patience with everything that’s been happening to him.
Wonder when Kallakore will reach the end of its patience with Mike after this?
Imagine Mike didn’t break his leg thigh friend settled down in his lungs instead… I think I’m gonna puke, too.
I dare say Kallakore didn’t imagine THIS kind of response–how alien must Mike seem to her?Him? I forget–side effect of such an effective alien character!
why not “them” ;-)
“No silly, that is not how you eat food. Here on Mars you have to eat food with your face, not your hand.”
Geez, teaching to undeveloped alien species can be exhausting
I’ve been reading a while and am now enjoying the strip alot, waiting for each update.
Mike! Rude!
Maybe mike doesn’t know his own martian-enhanced strength?
