page 39 – No, they’re not done looking around yet.
Original note – April 11, 2008
Oh, come on. Like you haven’t done something like that in a big empty room at least ONCE in your life. If you haven’t, you really oughta. It’s a great way to vent frustrations.
Oh, and does it show that I don’t exercise much? I think it kind of does…
(Historical Note: It’s unbelievably hilarious now to look back and realize there was a time when this little ship tour sequence felt like an arc that was dragging out too long. I mean, as I write this at the end of 2019, HOW many years has it taken them to drop off Stilez?)
I just came back here to comment on this page, due to Blitz referencing it on page 1370. And realising that this isn’t actually all that big a demand. He just demanded replica’s of the mile-high statue in his likeness must be on all inhabited worlds, and nothing beyond that. That means that SCALE replicas are fine, and so having a souvenir stand on every inhabited world selling figurines of the statue is technically sufficient to fulfill his demands.
You are technically correct, the best kind of correct.
You could even go a step further and make a larger-scale figure of the statue… purely to show where a Gift Shop is. “We’re complying with the Supreme Dictator of the Universe’s demand for a replica of his statue! We even made it twice, so we could put one fifteen-inch scale model on either end of the Spaceport’s Gift Shop’s Sign!”
Historical Note is even funnier now in 2025…and Stilez still hasn’t been dropped off! 😉
