That's right, Doc, nothing says, "I'm innocent!" quite like stuffing an unconscious body into a broom closet.

It always works for me.

Damn DSP, your ghost effects are getting pretty cool. It is DSP doing this, right?

[Steneub]

Those nasaghasts are actually scary. Well done!

[MetalNinja]

I believe that stuffing the body into a closet will most definitely work! I mean, come on, it's obvious it's the only thing that would work.

[LawCleaver]

Love, love, love Doc's eyebrows in the first panel!

And I also love that he

Spoiler:

puts on the spacesuit and bring his sword along, because hey, lots of NASA astronauts have swords strapped to their backs, right?

Some fun thoughts to ponder :

1. Does anyone think that the rule that the Nasghasts will kill anyone who even intends on harming an astronaut applies to the Nasghasts themselves? If it does apply to them as well, then Dr. McNinja could take a few different routes to worm his way out of things, since they are intending on harming him, a former and now current astronaut. If they exclude themselves from the rule, then:
2. Does anyone think the rule that the rule about even intending on harming an astronaut excludes astronauts? Because if so, Dr. McNinja never had anything to worry about, since he's been one since Punch Dracula, and the time traveling Chuck might not have known about this.

Of course, there's a lot more holes that can be pursued than just these, but these ones are the ones I think are the most promising cop-out avenues. Will be interesting to see if these issues pop up in the future.

Ditto to kingtux. I remember while playing Oblivion that you could trick a guard into attacking another guard, which makes all the guards attack that guard for attacking a guard, which would chain on until all the guards killed each other in a massive fight.

I'm hoping that is what happens here to the Nasaghasts.

[phenomanomanomable]

I'm hoping that Doc gets a little nuts on some Nasaghasts.
*commence ghostbusters theme tune*

I don't recall the pope ever blessing Doc's katanas. After seeing how he blessed Gordito's bullets, it would be interesting.

Would the Nasaghasts attack an astronaut that attacked another astronaut?

Or, an even better question. . . .

Why are the astronauts so well behaved when they know no one can touch them without incuring the wrath of the Nasaghasts?

I could ask other questions, but I'm a little leery asking extremely speculative questions, even though Dr. Hastings never looks at this message board.
