It’s well known by everyone that an Imperial stormtrooper couldn’t hit a bantha side-on with a blaster cannon from twenty paces. Everyone, that is, except Ben Kenobi. What other reason could there be for his claim that “…only imperial stormtroopers are so precise” when faced with a crawler-load of dead jawas?

[Panel 1: Wide view of a sand crawler, with smoke billowing from it, and debris around it]
[Panel 2: Closer view of the scene. Ben Kenobi and Luke Skywalker are standing amid a collection of dead Jawas]
Ben: …and these blast points: too accurate for sand people
— only imperial stormtroopers are so precise
[Panel 3: Caption, "Some time earlier…". A squad of stormtroopers are shooting out of the scene]
Captain: Open Fire!
[Panel 4: The sand crawler scene, with dead Jawas. The squad of stormtroopers are standing amongst the bodies]
Captain: What the hell have we done, Dave? We were only supposed to scare them into talking.
Stormtrooper Dave: But we didn't mean to kill them. I swear we were all aiming above their heads.

Nice to see a new ‘toon, even if it is only one and a month old. Will check in again in a couple months!
Unfortunately the realities of life mean that we have to prioritise the paid strips (primarily our “Elvie” comic for Linux Voice magazine) over The Greys. We’re both working on new Greys strips and hope to get something online soon. In the meantime you could always go hunting for Easter Eggs in our older strips – many of our comics contain entire extra strips, or at least extra panels that extend or subvert the main strip – so there’s probably plenty of Greys content you haven’t even seen yet.
