Last Berger Standing

Hey everyone, meet Sergeant Berger. Depending on how you look at it he’s either very unlucky to always lose his entire squad, or he’s extremely lucky to still be alive (though always with a few cuts and bruises).

It’s probably a good thing that Bacon & Eggs are headed for a different squad, otherwise they probably wouldn’t last fifteen minutes!

About “Squatting”… Josh and I were looking for our “Frak“… Sure there’s “Feth, Fething…“, but that’s a distinctly Tanith expression. So we tried out a bunch of ideas and settled on the one word Jervis Johnson hates to hear… and probably the only way to get a squat back in the 40K universe!

On a final, more sobering note: this week’s comic is dedicated to the memory of Staecy Camponi-Hagen, a true friend who passed away six years ago today… and is sorely missed.
