WebComic: The Scream
Ahh, the most common misconception in science fiction - noise in space.
Many movies get this concept wrong, but here at SpaceBooger we only promote good science! (for this week at least…)
Be sure to visit list of Bad Movie Physics and Phil Plait’s Bad Astronomy website to read more about bad use of science in popular fiction.
Here it is the promised double sized comic strip! http://www.spacebooger.com/index.php?comicID=51
WebComic: A Death in the Community!
First off I know that I promised a double sized 50th strip this week, but how could SpaceBooger not respond to a death in our own WebComic Community?
If you have not read Monday’s installment of “The Rack” you many want to check it out first because this week’s SpaceBooger comic contains spoilers.
In the comic book community the death of a comic character has become somewhat of a joke. Death, which should be permanent, seems to have the same revolving door in comic books that a soap operas have. Monday’s installment of “The Rack” featured the death of a character. The character may not have been very prominent or memorable, as joked about in my SpaceBooger strip, but the death seemed real and emotional. Unlike the deaths in the major publisher’s comics, this death did not seem like a gimmick or unnecessary sacrifice. The death of Alfredo, a seemingly unknown character seems real and emotional because of how it effects the other characters, not the story line.
There is not too much to say about this week’s comic since readers of “The Rack” will get it and those who don’t read it better jump on the bandwagon. The Rack is a comic strip about a comic shop written by Kevin Church (beaucoupkevin.com) who writes web and print comics and even has a comic blog in which partially served as a template for SpaceBooger.com. Benjamin Birdie (benjaminbirdie.com) is the other half of the dynamic duo and provides the art chores on the comic. I have always believed that fame can be granted to some only by death - Alfredo’s chance for fame is near. I look forward to some flashback strips featuring Alfredo in the near future over at www.therackcomic.com

WebComic: Interrogation
The Spammer’s storyline is close to coming to an end. Not only is the storyline ending soon, the life of the little captured Spammer may also come to an end if he does not tell the Booger what he wants to know.
Special Features:
In the second panel we see the Spammer finally give in to the electric shock torture. This panel is based on the scene in Rambo: First Blood Part II where the Soviet Military torture John Rambo after being captured by the Vietnamese.
The Spammer doing what it does best, using another’s identity, states that he is the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. Originally the dialog from the third panel said “Shut Up! I’m not the DJ and you’re not the Rapper. Keep using stolen identities if you want…” I still don’t know why I picked Will Smith as the stolen identity… maybe it was because I just watched “I Am Legend” again recently.
Don’t get the references made in the webcomic, then get them from Amazon.com

WebComic: Capture
Today’s webcomic continues the invasion of our character’s privacy by Spammers.
The motivation towards the handeling of the captured Spammer comes from this comic related video game:

Webcomic: Shields!
This weeks webcomic is a continuation from last week’s attack on our favorite character’s spaceship. In the past no part of the ship has really been shown in detail other than in the Year One strips, and last week the first image of the the bridge was shown. This week’s comic shows the bridge again in more detail along with what each of the four character’s jobs are.
I used the same image of the bridge from last week for two reasons:
- Some people, including my wife, could not tell what everything was on the bridge, so by using larger pieces of that image this week the details are easier to see.
- This week I am on spring break and have been ripping all of the carpet in my house out. Today the installers will be here in less than an hour to put in new carpet. Once they are done installing I will have to move all the furniture back into the newly carpeted rooms leaving little time to draw a new comic. So using an already created image I only had to type the text to save time and prevent the comic from missing a week.

Webcomic: A Brave New X-Box
There is not much to say for this week’s webcomic that is not in the comic itself, but if you need assistance:
- Panel 1: Barry Fly is reading Aldous Huxley’s “Brave New World.”
- Panel 2: The Booger is playing video games on the X-Box 360 and asks Barry if he wants to play too.
- Panel 3: Barry Fly replies that he does not know how to play video games on the X-Box 360.
- Panel 4: The Booger shocked that Barry does not know how to play proceeds to call Barry, who I remind you is reading “Brave New World,” stupid.
Get it… Barry Fly enjoys reading “Brave New World” and the guy who plays the video games calls him dumb.

Snack Attack!
With SpaceBooger Year One ending last week I needed to come up with an idea for a single strip comic, and I would like to thank my wife and her recently odd craving for junk food as motivation.
Normally we do not keep junk food in the house, but since my wife became pregnant she is a Snacking Queen. This comic is slightly personal; I feel for the Missing Piece, because like him I fear eating anything without permission in my own house.

SpaceBooger Year One: Part 4
SpaceBooger Year One: The Origin of the Booger
Part 4 - Stranded
The true origin of the Booger concludes this week. In the past weeks we’ve seen the the PURCHASE, SHIPPING, RESPONSIBILITY, and now STRANDED.
Year One: Part 4 ends where the very first webcomic began with a Boy, a Booger, and the Missing Piece all stranded in a ship floating in space.
The end of Year One incorporates an updated version of the first ever SpaceBooger WebComic.

SpaceBooger Year One: Part 3
SpaceBooger Year One: The Origin of the Booger
Part 3 - Responsibility
The true origin of the Booger continues. In week one we see the ordering of the ship. Week two shows us the delivery of the ship. This week we see that the auction came with an extra responsibility - The Space Booger.
This comic is a homage to Hal Jordan’s Green Lantern origin in Emerald Dawn. Instead of the Green Lantern of Sector 2814 seeking out a replacement, ebay user GL2814 passes his responsibility to the highest bidder.
