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.
Transcripts
Panel 1 Bacon, Hamm, and Eggs run into Sergeant Berger Berger: Hammy! What you got there? New recruits?! Hamm: ---- Panel 2 Berger slips past Hamm as he wraps his arms around Bacon & Eggs Hamm: --Hey now, Sergeant Berger, all due respect, but these recruits have been assigned to Squad Three-- Berger: You fine lads are destined for Glory; Just in time too! I've been in need of some recruits since I lost my whole squad... Eggs: Wh-Wh-Wh-Whole squad?!? Panel 3 Hamm: --!-- Berger: That aside, let's get you situated - got some puny Orks to fight! Berger: But not like the batch before last; they were wiped out by that squatting warbiker gang. Panel 4 Bacon & Eggs have a bad feeling about this... Berger: Cursed enemies of the Imperium! You've taken the lives of every single man under my command! Panel 5 Bacon, Eggs, and Hamm take off at a run Berger: FINE!!! Run off to Cooke then, see how well you fare! Eggs: Let's get out of here before he "Promotes us to Glory"

Great Comic, I am loving it. Just one question…
Why do they only have 3 fingers? I am sure the Inquisition will soon take note, all mutants should be cleansed.
Looks great guys. Looks like those new IG are a doomed ‘breakfast’. I anxiously await ‘Sargent Sausage’, ‘Private Pancake’, ‘Medic Marmalade’ and perhaps ‘Private Porridge’?
You could always try ‘gak’. Although I’m decently sure that’s a Vervunhiver expression.
man guard are so lucky thare are always jobs open
Wow, this is awesome. You’ve certainly got me as a permanent reader now.
Nice. So squat is the new frak? Sweet.
I like how those squatting squatters leg it at the first sign of death. Intelligent iguanas that they are.
