Another actual, original Xmas (or birthday, I forgot which) prezzie: Classic Space set 6985, Cosmic Fleet Voyager.
The first introduction of the Chief Maintenance Officer, Houston Texas, and his useless YTS students. If you were called Houston, you'd get fed up with that joke too.
Anybody who doesn't get the reference (unlikely, I know), it's from the disastrous Apollo 13 mission.
- Panel 1: a black-suited spaceman is standing in the foreground addressing the reader while holding a walkie-talkie.
- Black-suited Spaceman:
- Hi, I'm Houston, Chief Maintenance Officer.
- Panel 2: in the background three other spacemen are working on a spaceship, when I piece of the engine drops off.
- Sound Effect
- CLUNK!
- White-suited Spaceman:
- Uh-oh…
- Red-suited Spaceman:
- Er… oops.
- Blue-suited Spaceman:
- {Giggle} My turn to tell him.
- Houston:
- Every year I take on students.
- Panel 3: In the background the three student spacemen giggle amongst themselves and the blue-suited one speaks into his walkie-talkie.
- White-suited Spaceman:
- {Smirk}
- Blue-suited Spaceman (speaking into walkie-talkie):
- Calling Houston?
- Red-suited Spaceman:
- {Guffaw}
- Houston:
- And every year it's the same.
- Panel 4: Houston receives the message over the walkie-talkie.
- Voice over Walkie-talkie:
- Er… Houston, we have a problem…
- Houston:
- {Sigh}
