365 Days of Star Wars Comics, Day 13: OTTERS...IN...SPACE!

My pal Shelly the Little Otter Puppet brought to my attention that, in addition to Giant Green Star Wars Rabbit, the Star Wars Extended Universe (R.I.P.) also contains Giant Star Wars Otters! (They're actually called Selonians, but we won't let that stop us from describing them as Giant Star Wars Otters!)



Panels from (inhale) Star Wars X-Wing Rogue Squadron: Rogue Leader (exhale) #3 (November 2005), script by Haden Blackman, pencils and inks by Tomas Giorello, colors by Michael Atiyeh, letters by Michael David Thomas
And just like my pal Shelly, they are cute 'n' fuzzy but they will shiv you through the gut just as soon as look at you. Especially if you make a move on their clams.

As far as I can tell, Giant Star Wars Otters only appeared one other time in the comics, in a background scene in Star Wars #23. But nobody really noticed there was a Selonian in that panel.


Panel from "Lucky" in Star Wars Tales #23 (March 2005), script by Rob Williams, pencils by Michel Lacombe, inks by Serge LaPointe and Andrew Pepoy, colors by Wil Glass, letters by Michael Heisler
Gee, I wonder why nobody paid any attention to that that space otter?

Star Wars Cosplay Theater Week, Episode I: The Phantom Tank Menace

All this week over at 13th Dimension it's Star Wars Week, by which I suspect there might be something happening that'll rattle the Force until it's all shook up on Wednesday. Could it be...the release of Jar Jar Binks's new hip-hop album, "Meeso Amorous"? (Dunno, could beeeeeee.)

Anyway, in order to celebrate Star Wars Week, along with my continuing feature 365 Days of Star Wars Comics, let's kick off a week of Star Wars Cosplay Theater, in which your favorite comic book characters try to convince us they were in Star Wars. (You're not fooling anyone, Aquaman.)

Today: the elderly Captain Jeb Stuart swaps radio traffic with none else than Steve Trevor, who tries to engage him in a little Star Wars Cosplay. Unfortunately, even though Jeb is approximately one bajillion years old, he has never seen Star Wars, so the reference is apparently lost on him. Jeez, who doesn't know that bit?!


Panels from the Haunted Tank story "Mettle" in G.I. Combat (2012 series) #5 (December 2012), script by Peter J. Tomasi, pencils and inks by Howard Chaykin, colors by Jesus Aburtov, letters by Rob Leigh
Join us tomorrow for trade negotiations and senatorial treaty discussions! Naw, I'm jus' foolin' ya. Tomorrow: more Star Week Cosplay Theater Wars! Or something like that.
