1 Iki Piki: So why didn't the owner of this Allosaurus travel with us too?
2 Spanners: I asked him that.
3 Iki Piki: What did he say?
4 Spanners: "Three days in hyperspace locked on a tiny ship with a wild Allosaurus? Are you nuts?"

I normally leave the stars sharp in the background. This time I tried blurring them to better match the depth of field of the photographs in the foreground. I was reluctant to try this before because I didn't want to blur them out completely - a little blurring goes a long way when you're looking at pinpoints of light. But I think it worked nicely.

2015-12-26 Rerun commentary: That would have been in the second panel only, I think. The other panels don't look as though the stars have been blurred.

It's good that the owner specified that this is a wild Allosaurus. You wouldn't want a tame Allosaurus, now, would you?
