Space Gits is a stilly game. It is also very easy to pick up and just wing it without the other players knowing the rules at all.

I think this might be the best drawing I've ever done of Jon's face.
Panel 5, zoomed in. The eyeballs are everywhere.

Blink
Panel 1. Jon and Garfield at a table begin to stare at each other. Panels 2-4, they continue to stare, pupils enlarging Panel 5, zoomed out. I accidentally drew Jon's pupils wrong, but liked the effect so a kept it and added it to Garfield. Reality is beginning to unravel Panel 6. Further staring Panel 7. Snap! Jon's eyes are massively bloodshot, his pupils tiny Panel 8. Jon lies head on table, smoke rising from his fried brain. Garfield stares straight at the reader, eyes empty black pools. Stare at his eyes. Keep staring. And on and on....

First time I met that horse was in a boxing ring. It went poorly.
Panel 1. Jon sits on the captain's chair of the USS Enterprise. He seems sad. A horse looks in from the side. Panel 2. Garfield enters, and puts a paw on Jon's hand. A sinister, massive hand reaches down from the ceiling towards the horse, which seems nervous. Panel 3. Garfield sits on Jon's lap. Both seem to be blissfully happy. The horse is being strangled

If you're interested in Orks but not necessarily the rules of 40k, Space Gits by @planetsmashergames.bsky.social might be worth a look
Panel 1, Jon the Ork enters, carrying a bag of groceries. "Oi! I'm back!" Panel 2 Jon suggests something to barbecue. "Steak and Khorne" This is a pun based on the ear of corn in his groceries, which sounds like Khorne, the chaos god of war. Panel 3. A cat tail is sticking up from the bag. The Ork is dismayed as the cat "just ate the burnin' stuff

The FBI have released images of who they think shot Charlie Kirk and...

That's Bez, right? Right???
Bez from the Happy Mondays. Or possibly somebody who shot somebody. God knows.

Panel 1 - An Evil Sunz Ork cheerfully watering some plants. "Watta Watta Watta" rather than Dakka Dakka Dakka Panel 2 - The Ork pats one of the plants, a fern Panel 3 - A large orange Squig has destroyed the plants. The Ork facepalms.

It remains to be seen if Garfield will keep 5 legs
Panel 1, a scorpion moving at extreme speed knocks aside a cat Panel 2, "Let down his defenses", the cat lays splayed on the floor like some kind of weird icon. It has five legs. Panel 3, as panel 1 but reversed

I would vote so hard for a UK political party that runs on a manifesto of Shakira law.

Shakara law on the other hand would be terrifying.

How many pings?

I'm leaving soon.
Panel 1. Jon sits at a table, drinking coffee. His right hand is a spider. A ginger periscope approaches. The text reads "One Ping Only" Panel 2. Jon has become a thing with too many eyes. The coffee flies. It's really difficult to mix brown out of a range of biro inks, and I don't have a brown biro. So it might be lava or something. Panel 3. Garfield launches himself above the table in a similar fashion to the American sub at the end of The Hunt For Red October. Jon looks disgruntled. The drinking lava is spilled on the table. The text reads "Captain scared them out of the water!"

The original of this strip sounds horrible
Panel 1 : a fly buzzes past. Garfield hovers overhead, using his tail as a rotor and carrying a large bomb Panel 2 : the bomb is released. Garfield looks shocked and horrified Panel 3 : a large yellow mushroom cloud, possibly of urine. "Splosh" I am become Garfield

Can confirm that cats can tolerate harnesses of you can tolerate blood loss
This one is drawn pretty much as described in the episode, so alt text feels a bit superfluous

Woah. Deja vu.
A close up of Garfield's eyes, wearing mirrored sunglasses in the style of Morpheus in The Matrix. Reflected in the lenses are his two paws, on holding a red pill, the other a blue pill. The text reads "How much like it? Was it the same cat?", from a later scene in the movie where it is discussed that Deja Vu indicates a change in the matrix. The bottom of the panels of this comic last time I drew it are just visible, cropped off at the top of the picture.

Generation Freakshow by Feeder, released 2012, debute album was Polythene in 1997.

Great album, more similar to Echo Park than most of their intervening ones.
