    Her ears are soooooo awesome! Also, is it just me or is she kind of 70’s themed?

  • Stev

    I was wondering what happened to that guy. Now I’m wondering how he ended up there.

  • Nessa

    Aww! He’s so cute!

  • D.H.

    Oh great, a new character.

  • HA HA! Called it! I KNEW that was the “Oh, poop” guy!

  • Ramification

    Awww, poor luser.

    That guy looks oddly familiar.

    Wondering the same thing. :D

  • Marduk

    Haha, so this is where this guy is

  • W Snickelfritz

    Nice one! …And of course, I just had to search for some of the other instances of this guy:

    He really does have some rotten luck. (Slightly reminds me of the entity in Hitchhiker’s Guide that just keeps getting unwittingly killed by Arthur Dent. Poor guy.)

  •  Awesome! Thanks for finding the past references and posting them! Beat me to it!

  • Stev

    I find it funny that we’re all calling him “that guy.” He’s a recurring character with no name. Maybe “that guy” will be his nickname among Zaplings? Hmm…

  •  CLEVER GIRL

  • A few centuries of technological advancement but ATC protocols remain the same :D

  • Safyrejet

    ah, I knew someone would explain it.  Inside Zap joke with a sorta recurring obscure character.  Nice.  At first I thought, is this some reference to an obscure alien from a TV series I never watched…but googling “oh poop alien” gives nothing worthwhile…yeah, don’t try that.

    Hah, I love panel 3.

  • Safyrejet

    if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it?

  • Oh it’s broken, but my theory is that the controllers like it broken. You know, in case they need to suddenly duck out and have someone cover for them so they can cover for someone else. ;) 

  • Strider

    some one in the other pages called him dropy or something i like that one.

    sooo let’s see here……

    we have a one armed red head with dilutions of zapture…

    a four armed ape with a soft spot a galaxy wide…

    a technoerotical tall blonde lion woman with maniacal mechanical skills…

    a snarky robot with a particularly questionable shaped head…

    some Pirates….one with adorable bed head…

    a wannabe naked knowitall hologram…

    a guy that sticks his mind in other people’s orifices without permission…

    a killer cat girl that loves to use people as a scratching post,..meeoow baby….

    a guy that has played both sides of the field and twisting his own nickers for it…

    a guy that is obviously snoopie’s very distant relative and very unlucky when poop comes to shove.

    a monkey boy that loves big, giant, thrusting rockets. (who doesn’t?…<–DON'T ANSWER THAT!!)..

    and a puppy girl wearing a racing jacket, mini skirt, neckerchief and yellow shooting glasses…(full of win and awesome !!; if i throw a frisby will she fetch and run to me panty heavily?…..<–ANSWER THAT !!)

    I'm going to need more popcorn.

  •  They’re actually floppy rabbit ears.

    I love that website!

  • I thought they were just a fashion accessory.

    The notion of thinking of them as anything more attached makes me want to ask what the hell is wrong with her head that they got under her hair like that.

  • jimbo

    hmm… he appears to be dressed as luke on tatooine…

  • FINALLY! Been drawing this comic for 9 years and just waiting for someone to pick up on it.

    Now I know where I’ve seen Mister Recurring Oh Poop Guy! He looks like the poor karaoke-obsessed janitor from the space port bar in that short “The Chubb-Chubbs”!

  • Crestlinger

    Tower gets smashed to bits I’ll bet.

  • Speedy Marsh

    Hundreds of years later, and ATC is still running on vacuum tubes.

  • Speedy Marsh

    Cue the rabbit breeding jokes…

  • Rexan

    Googling “oh poop alien”. x’D Oh my, yeah, I have no interest in trying that search myself. I’m sorry you suffered that.
