This part always creeped me out. The terrible damage that some high velocity shrapnel could cause in a split second. Well done.

Just wait for the next page.

French penguins.

Inspired by the penguins of Irma la Douce, as was the "Oh My God, its full of Penguins" 2001 variation.

I need to see that version. I don't recall it.

Here it is

You are the best.

What amazed me most about the series was just how true to species some of the characters were... and left a burning question of, "How DO they function?" Take the penguin and equine here. Flipper and hooved 'hands' respectively yet they're able to dress themselves and even work the tools of their trade.

This of course led to the best question and answer in the pages of this comic at some point. "How do the equines manipulate objects?"

It's all done "off camera" ;)

Velcro ™ hoof/flipper gloves? Sticks to anything.

Would penguins be extra well suited for zero gee work? ...likely not to me, as air is not a fluid their flippers can exert against. Looks cool though. :)

And yeah, tiiiny fragments causing huuuge damage. The manga Planetes used a similar idea.

With their small body size the penguins can probably get 'some' maneuverability. I remember seeing film of the Skylab astronauts grabbing a couple panels (cardboard, notebook covers?) and flapping around the station. Can't locate a YouTube clip at the moment unfortunately.

first time i see the medical science in this series :)

Pengies!
Our Host continues to surprise with the wide variety of races he puts into the pages.

For reasons now forgotten, I wanted penguins and otters are medtechs.

Perhaps both size and maneuverability. And otters have clever hands, useful for triage and field surgery. And both are aquatic and naturally agile, which means they are made for zero-g acrobatics as well, unlike horses and foxes, for example. Handy when you need to do delicate no-way-is-up operations aboard vessels like these. Even here, one of the penguin techs can be seen "flying" into the frame.

MASH Meatball Surgery in space?

Meatballs in a tube.

Works for tennis balls and Pringles Chips, though.

SpaceBalls!

*Wonders how the Equine captain works the controls with hooves.*

Also the beginning of equines manipulating things "offscreen"...

Pony Magic!
