Galaxy Turnpike Page #5

---

A feeling of guilt?

No, not at all...

Take good care of your wife

Solong

Pull yourself together!

Can you try to walk?

Somebody, come help me!

Hold on! I'm a doctor

Out of the way. Leave him to me

Mr. Mendes?

A friend of yours?

Where was he?

In the electric room

He was fine earlier

Who the hell is he?

You know his name?

It's Mr. Mendes

Mr. Mendes, can you hear me?

He's conscious

But who is he'?

- Can't tell me?

- We'll talk later

How is he, Doctor?

No fever

Which planet is he from'?

I think he's from Angueles

I thought so

I reckon he's pregnant

Pregnant?

Angueleans are hermaphrodite

Gestation takes 30 minutes.

They're known for it

30 minutes'?

They tend to seek out

a dark place to give birth

No wonder he was in there...

Water's broken. Baby's coming. Lay him down

I need a blanket and scissors

Help him, please

Take off his shoes

- Where's the baby'?

- Not out yet

Not yet'? Madam...Madam'?

That's you

I'm right here

Madam. you know...

this baby is ours

What'?

Wait, don't be so stupid

It's true. We made it together

How come? Who fertilized who?

I did nothing

- What's the connection?

- There is none

He took it upon himself

He's having your baby!

Stop saying this nonsense

It's true...it's our baby

Let me explain

Angueleans can conceive by touching foreheads

Foreheads?

That's nice...beats fingertips

Does that ring a bell?

Looks like it does!

It felt like a farewell gesture

My forehead...

He's trying to say something

Mine and hers touched

- Shut up

- How could you?

I've no relationship with him at all

One-sided conception is

quite common in the universe

Angueleans are tremendously imaginative

Phantom pregnancy on a whole new level

It's a damn nuisance

It's the only way they can procreate

It's started

Take over for me

It is out yet?

He's suffering

Not my problem

Contractions closer. Won't be long

Rub his back

Are you going to be with him?

Don't be so stupid

What about the baby'?

- I don't know!

- It's your baby

Inhale slowly...and exhale

- Is it going to be all right?

- Dunno...

But, Doctor?

I'm a dentist

In any case...

Anyone can play this part

Something's coming out

You can do it

Doctor, please

I'll do my best

Hold his hand, please

Ouch...it's coming

Why don't you believe your wife?

How can I'?

Did you forget what it takes to live in Space?

Human common sense doesn't apply here

Inhale deep and exhale!

Oh wow...

What is it?

An egg...l can see an egg

An egg?

It hurts!

Heck, it's really dry

What does that mean?

He's not naturally well-hydrated

That's correct

So it won't just slip out

Put me out of my misery

Can't you help him?

Got any seaweed?

- What's that?

- Kelp seaweed

Mom always said kelp's slipperiness

helps a difficult birth

Kelp"

Get some kelp

We've got no kelp!

Can't it be something else?

She said that kelp's the best

Hey, it's your turn now

Me?

Any happy childhood memories of kelp?

Memories?

- Try to think back

Anything he remembers turns real

You can do that?

I don't control the process

Think happy kelp thoughts

Okay, I'll try...

Sweet memories of kelp...

There's no such thing!

You're useless!

Do you have kelp memories?

Any of you had fun with kelp?

I did

Memories of kelp?

I was swimming in the sea as a kid

I got lost and the kelp found me

As if they were talking to me

"Mom's over there, kid"

They guided me back

That's perfect

Will my memories work?

Don't worry. Just think back

- Here you are, Doctor

- Lay it on the floor

Please use it all

Put me out of my misery

- Looking good

-it's no use

It should be fine now

Here comes one

Two...

Three...

More coming...

Four...

Five...

Sm...

- How many?

- Six

Seven...

That makes eight!

Is that it?

Eight total

They're all yours

I'm quite moved

Look at these beautiful eggs

It's out there!

- Heck!

- You've got seven left

No, do something

It's not possible. Forget it

It's m)' 999

Look, it's getting further away

Hell)"

Pervert!

Further and further away...

It's too late

If only that superhero Captain Socks was here

Captain Socks! Come help us

- Captain Socks!

- Here, after all

Socks, save that egg!

We're counting on you!

Go, Captain Socks!

You can do it!

He's so cool!

Go, Captain!

What is it?

- Your socks are ok!

- Don't worry about them

He's kinda neurotic

Go, w!

Get the egg...

Gently, please

Grab it

Looking good...

Don't grab it too hard...you'll crush it...

Gently

It's a soft egg

Try again

Don't let it go!

You had it then

- Go after it!

- Go, Captain Socks

- What does he mean? No?

- You can't give up!

You're useless!

- Stop looking at us

- Hey, go after it!

Don't give P!

Come back!

Get my space suit

I'm going

Darling...

Your egg...

...is my egg, too

Way to go, darling

Relax!

It's over there

He's going to use that?

He's getting ready

It's that way!

Forget the windows

What's he doing?

What is he trying to do?

We want that egg!

Get a move on!

We need the egg!

Get the e99. will you?

Go, w!

There's nothing to worry about.

You know today's a special day?

The Orga cluster and Veronica meteors

align precisely with Venus & Jupiter

It's a special day indeed

We nicknamed it "S.E.S."

short for "Super Erotica Straight"

On this day, all creatures great and small

feel Eros burning in their hearts

So it's no wonder you feel the way that you do

I deleted it

Happy now?

You're just going to hang out from now on?

Do I have to support you?

I'd sure appreciate it

They grow up incredibly fast

Full grown by tomorrow morning

Spitting image of daddy

Sorry they didn't look like you

Actually, I prefer it that way

I'll take good care of them

On your planet, do you all look the same?

Yes, we do

A galactic mystery

Sorry for all the bother

Come on kids, we take the stairs

By the way, I forgot to ask...

Who was he?

Where did you meet him?

He's a renovations contractor

Renovations?

I was planning something

behind your back. Sorry

What renovations?

Why don't we spruce the place up'?

Replace the entire floor...

for example, create a river here

and have goldfish in it...

Behind the counter we can have a fountain

The ceiling can be all glass

SO WE can SEE Space

And maybe a small stage here...

How much do you think it'll cost?

It'll be fine if we get more customers

You're asking the impossible

We just need to begin something

Stop talking about returning to Earth

You finally got the restaurant you wanted

If you can't make it in Space,

there's no point trying elsewhere

What's that?

This...

is a Samba whistle

I take lessons. I did today

- Learning Samba'?

- Sure. Another thing is...

if we have a stage here I could put on a dance

Customers might enjoy it

What do you think?

Nice idea

I only started 6 months ago

If you can't make it in Space,

there's no point trying elsewhere

Let's stick it out a little longer

Although...

What's wrong?

I already mailed that

request to the head office
