Episode Notes

The Classic Spaceman here does not represent anybody in particular, just the generic hobbyist. However, some individuals thought it was rather like them, which I found rather funny.

Transcript

Panel 1: Spacedude 1 is working on a computer when Spacedude 2 approaches him.
Spacedude 2:
What are you doing?
Spacedude 1:
Shopping for parts.
It's for my hobby.
Panel 2: Spacedude 1 is printing out a list.
Spacedude 2:
Buying anything special?
Spacedude 1:
I'm only buying one or two items while they are on special offer.
Panel 3: Close-up on Spacedude 1, who is holding the printed list. Spacedude 1 is off-screen.

Five days later
Spacedude 2:
I thought you said only 'one or two' items?
Spacedude 1 (offscreen):
That's right...
Panel 4: Zoom out again to reveal Spacedude 1 on the floor, rolling in his purchases which have been tipped out of crates, while the printed list is revealed to several pages in length.
Spacedude 1:
... one or two crates. Hee hee! Lots of parts! Lots of lovely parts!!!
Spacedude 2 (mildly disgusted):
That's... just... not... normal. Stop it!
You're really starting to scare me now. You need help...
