Nice to see the original Rogue Trooper back in action. Nice touch in the final panel where Rogue is standing in front of his vehicle with "Thank God it's not Friday" written on the track guard. I for one say "Amen!" to the end of Friday, I never did get my head around the continuity problems and felt it was just being spun out too damn long.



Also, I think Staz Johnson really caught the feel of the early episodes of Rogue and there's more than a touch of Dave Gibbons in his panels. Makes me feel warm inside!

I saw it, I laughed, then I made a mistake. I thought about it too much. Why has that been written on the vehicle? Who wrote it? What did they mean? It makes no sense!

It's a play on words on the name of famous American restaurant chain 'TGIF' (Thank God It's Friday), and of course also fans general dislike of the Friday character.

Yes, I know thta. But what sense does that make to whoever wrote it on the tank?

HiEx

Who knows, perhaps Friday is the day the writer of the graffiti has to clean out the latrines.



Anyway, it's as funny as hell.

Better set your phaser to stun.

It's graffiti, you aren't supposed to know who wrote it or why.  Duh!?
