I’m reminded of early episodes of Voyager.
Janeway: “Ensign, despite Starfleet protocol, I don’t like being addressed as ‘sir.'”
Kim: “I’m sorry … ma’am.”
Janeway: “‘Ma’am’ is acceptable in a crunch, but I prefer ‘Captain.'”
The first episode, if my geekature serves me correctly bA nAn A (love Rejected Cartoons by the way).
Also Dark Ferret, love the Larson reference. If i recall one of the three creatures in that magnificent journey was a giant squid. ahh… it’s the simple things in life you treasure…
I’m a little surprised Grim Eyes wasn’t offended to be taken for a male — but then, Murai isn’t of the tribe, so I guess it maybe doesn’t really count.
As Gary Larson quipped in one of his strips, “It looks like another one of those damned Amazing Journeys”! LOL
I’d laugh more if the speech bouboe in the last pannel had three speakers – but it probably wouldn’t fit, and it’s great as always.

Your geekature is correct. The scene where Janeway’s introducing herself to her crew on the bridge.
If I remember correctly, Kim’s response to that was “Yes ma’am.”
You sure it wasn’t “Yes Captain”?
I don’t rightly recall …
🙂
“Grim Eyes oined your party!” *level-up sound*
Oh dear. These comments have yet again made me painfully aware that my geekacation (geek+education) is nowhere near complete. D: xD

Actually I thought Kim said something along the lines of “Yes ma’am ….uh…sorry captain”. But that was a long time ago and it is tough to remember
That reminds me of The Fellowship of the Ring, you know, where Pippen asks where they’re after he’s joined the quest.
Rowena, I loved that scene. One of my favorites.
