Boxcar Astronaut #139: Red Rover!
Greetings, Fellow Astronauts! It’s another sunny day in the backyard as the gang takes sides in the age old game of Red Rover. As with most of Ben’s ideas, playing Red Rover against the team of Robot and Caveman isn’t very well thought out. It seems those poor boys are about about to learn the hard way that a huge metal robot from space is NOT what you want to see running top speed at you. Check out this week’s All New Boxcar Astronaut for the amazing Red Rover Action!

Boxcar Astronaut #134: Are you ready for some football?
Greetings, Fellow Astronauts… or should I say Quarterbacks? Strange things are afoot in the backyard ever since Ben fell out of the tree and bumped his head. With his memory gone, Ben’s mind has begun to forge a new persona. Gone, it seems, are the whimsical days of imaginary spaceships, toy blasters, and plastic space helmets. Now Ben’s attentions have turned to touchdowns, field goals, and padded football helmets. Is this the end of life as we know it in the backyard? Can Devin find away to get Ben’s memories back? Will we have to change the name of this strip to Box Score Quarterback?! Find out all the answers in the weeks to come in Boxcar Astronaut!
PS: Boxcar Astronaut artist Marc Lapierre will launching a new webcomic on Monday called Spooky Doofus. It can be found at http://www.spookydoofus.com. It’s a comedy that takes place in a world populated by all sorts of classic monsters like werewolves, ghosts, vampires, fishmen, etc. They all live everyday lives like us mortals. They hold down jobs, go on dates, hang out with friends, and all that fun stuff. For this week Mark will be posting new strips Monday through Friday, then after that the comic will be on a Tuesday and Thursday schedule.

Boxcar Astronaut – Boxcar Astronaut #131: Robots Don’t Do Make Believe.
Greetings, Fellow Astronauts! This week Ben and Devin are continuing the Ground-Is-Hot-Lava game, turning the grassy surface of a normal backyard into a highly dangerous environment of molten lava using only the power of their imaginations! For a child, this game is an enormous amount of fun. For a super advanced space robot, however, the actions of our heroes defies all logic. Read long in an All New Boxcar Astronaut as Ben comes to realize that make believe is not included in Robot’s basic programing!
