Far Out There

(Historical Notes: Tarkus is a bit of a challenging character to write for, since it’s so easy for him to come across simply as a hypochondriac and that’s greatly over-simplifying things.  He’s a worrywart in general, who obsessively over-prepares for EVERYTHING, not just health stuff.  For whatever reason, though, I just tend to find it a lot easier to write jokes of that ilk where the obsessiveness is health related.  I blame Patch Adams.  Oh, and I have a strong feeling that the original commentary for this page involved some form of Past Me wishing it were easier to work in more appearances of Tiny Trigger and Lil’ Layla.)
