Is that a typical example of the dialogue from Plan 9?

As far as I know, it never got theatrical release in Germany.
About 20 years ago, a TV station showed Tim Burton's Ed Wood - followed as a special gimmick by Plan 9. That's when I watched it.

Thanks. The drawing is based on a 6495C triple quadrupole mass spec from Agilent Technologies coupled with a 1290 Infinity II HPLC.

Well, that was a surprise reading your comic today, Hugbot. And I prefer 'great' to 'large' like in Kaiser Wilhelm der Gross..... <grin> Do you remember all of our conversations in their entirety? I'm amazed!

Great comics again. Make me smile for hours after reading this thread!

Plan 9 From Outer Space: A Really Grand Opera by Somtow Sucharitkul is currently in the libretto stage. Rehearsals will begin in earnest next year.

Huggy is Mr (evil) Memory Man...

Plan 9 made it to Germany?

Ohhhh... That one...

It's easy to get them mixed up, isn't it? I'm always confusing the triple quadrupole model with the quadruple tripole. And don't get me started on whether it's the 1290 Infinity II or the 1291 Infinity III!

I was hoping we'd see Og leaning into shot and frowning in that last panel.

And what's the object on the floor next to TT? I've been meaning to ask since last time. Is it a clue or just a slice of pizza? ("I'll just leave this for later, here on the floor." Delicious isn't the word!*)

Well folks, what will happen in the next exciting instalment? Will Sherlock Holmes return to solve the crime, or will it be up to our zany gang of Horizonites? Will the baddie turn out to be ze Fluute? Will they solve it by peeking ahead several strips? What will they do for power now?


* Neither is tasty, healthy, safe, etc.

It was renamed Plan Nein of course.

I hate to point out at this stage. I am very much at fault here. A valuable portable reactor and no bars on the window!! I should have asked Paula to keep guard. She would have chased any intruders away with her Welsh Sign!!

Hugbot, or Huggy as you are affectionately called in our home, you are one amazing dude. You have me laughing out loud more times than not. Please keep up the comics. I love them.

Sadly as it is the power source for my portable lab that has been stolen it will be difficult to analyze these clues.

So we are looking for someone who takes sugar in their coffee.

Or is the coffee stain a red herring (like the red paint)?

And knowing Huggy's propensity for Easter eggs, I'm wondering about the name of that vessel.

It's not so much an Easter egg as a bit of self-indulgence.
The design of the Anderson is based on a ship that I built of Lego in my primary school days:

It even had an appearance in one of the comic strips I "drew" at the time. There was also a "technical" drawing accompanying the strip:

I have no idea how I came up with the name. One might think that I named the yacht after Ian Anderson but I didn't know Jethro Tull at the time.
Probably I just misspelled the name of H. C. Andersen.

Oh, isn't he cute.....

I suppose if you had known Jethro Tull at the time, the ship design would have incorporated some form of seed drill.

Not to mention the light blue/orange striped sweater...
And these were only the early 70s... it would get worse!
