Dash’s recovery goes well given the circumstances in today’s page. In case you missed yesterday’s update, check it out here. This is update CD 4.3.36, or Cosmic Dash Volume 4, Episode 3 “Ladies Fight” – Page 36.
If you are curious about what has been going on with me or want to read my responses to a couple of questions, be sure to check out my mailbag on my website.
Lastly, I gotta plug something, so here is the latest chapter of the zombie story I have been working on. My prose work tends to update a little more frequently.
Lore: Dash’s Injuries
I wanted to think about the amount of crap I put Dash through throughout the comic so far. This isn’t in-depth, mind you, just a record of his recovery. Terrekin are pretty tough creatures given their shells, but also have dense musculature as swimmers. Dash has bounced back from quite a few injuries time after time. Some notable ones I recall:
- Falling from dozens of feet into a bush in volume 1, issue #1.
- Mental breakdown and a scalpel slash to the collar bone in volume 1, issue #3. This left a scar.
- Busted eye and wrist from a crash in volume 2, issue #2.
- Mental breakdown, “Pause & Effect” and volume 3, issue #1.
- Lacerations from broken glass and a slashed arm in volume 3, issue #2.
- Extensive bruising, blaster bolt to hand, claws to the abdomen, sword slash to the wrist, and orbital socket fracture in volume 4, issue #2.
Yikes. His recovery is fairly solid, all things considered.

Panel Two
Dash is blinking his eyes to adjust to the change in light. Dorian turns off his light.
Dorian: Oh yeah, that shot to your socket is going to leave a nice scar. But, the swelling should go away soon. You can sleep in your bunk tonight.
Panel Three
Dorian fidgets with the light, clicking it. He continues to update Dash on his injuries.
Dorian: The sword cut is pretty deep. Just watch the wrist.
Panel Four
A shot of Guugel’s pod. The pod is dramatically lit and eerie.
Dash (off-screen): I may crash here tonight.
Dorian: I get it.
Panel Five
Dash raises his arm to check if he smells after Dorian’s comment.
Dorian (off-screen): At least go take a shower or something.
Panel Six
Dorian waves away his comment.
Dorian: You don’t smell that bad. It’s more of a self-care thing.
Dash: Nah, I get it.
Panel Seven
Senn “Kracker” Toucair emerges suddenly, He’s thrilled and has a wing wrapped over Dorian’s shoulder.
Kracker: DUDE! You didn’t lose the eye! That’s great!
See you later this month with more comics.
