Mayberry Melonpool is the television-addicted, somewhat clumsy, not-all-that-intelligent Captain of the "Steel Duck." Oh yeah, and he's obsessed with getting a date. In short, he doesn't have a lot going for him.
Sam T. Dogg is completely out of his element. He’s super intelligent, a highly-skilled pilot and has the most common sense of anyone aboard the "Steel Duck." Also, no one takes him seriously because he’s a dog.
Interestingly enough, although I accept a telepathic dog, a spaceship powered by a giant hamster, and all the other characters – I find myself thinking there’s no way that Sam can do his business in space. Does the spacesuit have a flap for this sort of thing? What about exposure to vacuum? What about action/reaction – shouldn’t doing his business send him off into space in the opposite direction? Does the spacesuit have auto-correcting thrusters for just this reason? Sorry, we’re now returning you to your regularly scheduled comic.
In space, no one can see or hear you do your personal business.

Never mind that! There are no trees out there!
laz – Maybe he’s going to do his thing in a compartment in the suit, and stow the baggie in a crater on that asteroid.
