Synopsis: Pete and Bart are in a search of non-hostile
planets (there is no straight mention of the nature of their
work). They are about to leave, but two of their colleagues,
Potter and Captain, are missing, and they can find just their
clothes.
Comment: Ed Faust's one joke story has interesting flow,
though extented ending is not surprising. Corben's art is perfect
till the end. Planet has highly intereting flora all over. There
is everywhere feminine curves, ovals and arcs. Animals are few,
though a lot of flies. Artwork support story 100%.
Special note: There is bottom of first page writing, * Note. "flys" is an alien spelling
of "flies.", but that has no clear reference
to the story, since there is no alien language used. Except Pete's
last notice, though it has no significance of spelling.
