Issue 62

THE TINY TAG ON MY INSIDE FOLD OF MY JACKET SAYS "SG CHRISTOPHORUS HATCHENSON".
THAT DOESN'T SOUND LIKE SOMEONE I LIKE.
MAYBE I KILLED THEM FOR THIS JACKET.
THIS JACKET IS SOFT AND FITTING.

I AM PILOT. CAPTAIN CALLS ME PILOT, SO I MUST BE PILOT.
I FLY THINGS. I FLEW THE CAPTAIN ONCE ON A MISSION OF GREAT IMPORTANCE. WE HAD A SKY-ACCIDENT.
CAPTAIN SAVED MY LIFE FROM THE BURNING CARCASS OF THE FLYING COW.
CAPTAIN IS MAGIC, LIKE HARRY POTTER BUT MORE MAGIC.
CAPTAIN CAN STOP CLOCKS, I KNOW BECAUSE I'VE SEEN IT. THE COW'S CLOCKS AND DIALS FROZE IN PLACE WHEN CAPTAIN GAVE THEM A STERN LOOK.

ONE DAY, THE CAPTAIN WOKE ME UP SO I COULD SERVE HIM FOR ALL TIME. IT'S A SHAME THE SAME THING WON'T HAPPEN TO SNIPPY BECAUSE HE'S INSOLENT AND TRIES TO ESCAPE FROM CAPTAIN'S ORDERS.

a great backstory on how pilot became pilot. but a few questions. so, first he is retired by the army men. then, he is flying the plane/doing somthing stupid. and he holds an album/paper writing ''messiah''. (what is this paper? and what si it talking about? about a messiah? a savior?) then, he disobeys their orders, and flees when they try to arrest him. so, he flies his plane to a near city, his plane crushes, and captain finds him and saves him.

but we must know more.
also, there were some crash-test dummies at the cockpit of the airplane, pretty cool, i wonder what they needed them for.

wow, lol also, pilot's DOG-EYES at the 4th panel, makes me lagh hard, AND creeps me out, at teh same TIME. epic accomplishment.

also, his soldier salute to captain is perhaps the most epic moment of mr.pilot, and the sole reason my avatar looks like such a badass.

also i lol'ed at when snippy says ''thank god'' and captain replies: ''you're welcome''. haha
