There's some fantastic NPC dialogue in the Pokémon games. Like this creepy little girl in Lavender Town. Who gave me a great excuse to throw in Zombie Lass again.

 My mom requested this one, and honestly it's such a great anecdote from the Voyager mission that I just had to. Voyager 1 was specifically directed toward Titan (which would put it on a trajectory that would not allow it to continue to Uranus and Neptune) because it was known at the time that Titan had a thick atmosphere, and astronomers were really curious about what the surface looked like.

Well, turns out Titan has a thick, opaque atmosphere, so we got lots of great pictures of a fuzzy, featureless orange ball. Oops. (Thankfully Voyager 2 made it to Uranus and Neptune, and Cassini-Huygens came back later with radar and a cute little lander to give us a proper look at the surface.)

 There's this one Hiker on Route 10 who just laughs when you battle him, and afterward explains he's not laughing--he's sneezy from hay fever.

Or he ingested too much Repel and he's on the fast track to becoming another Professor Oak.

 I was listening to a paleontology podcast where they were discussing Scutellosaurus, and one of the hosts called it "scutey", and this popped into my head and I just had to draw it.

I think we need to celebrate cute little dinosaurs more. They were dinosaurs too! (Scutellosaurus was about the size of a turkey. So cute!)

 Really makes you wonder if Game Freak had this exact NPC in mind when they designed Munna.

 I couldn't draw cartoons about space missions and leave out Voyager! It's amazing that both Voyager probes are still working after nearly 50 years. Their discoveries defined most of what I learned about the outer Solar System as a kid (I'm dating myself here) and they have a special place in my heart.

... So, when are we going back?

 Again, the NPCs seem to think the world is larger than it actually is. Just walk a couple of frames down, Jr. Trainer, and you'll start to see rooftops.
