Line 23:
Following a tip, [[Planet Terry]] and [[Robota]] travel to [[Asteroid 43KX]] in the hopes of finding his [[Planet Terry's parents|long lost parents]]. Their search is for [[Squink]] at the [[Milk Toast Malt Shop]], and the find the latter easily. What's less easy is getting to it, as the Malt Shop is surrounded on all sides by a [[Crocogater]]-infested moat crossable by a single log bridge. Gulping down his fear, Terry prepares to cross the log...
 
Elsewhere, a fearsome and hateful creature stomps through a forest, declaring his hate for anything that gets in his way: trees, bushes, [[Gnork hogshog]]s. He passes by the Milk Toast Malt Shop, implying that it's lucky it wasn't on his path, but the threat still stands to anything else in his way as he approaches a single log bridge over a moat...
 
Carefully making their way over the log, Terry and Robota come face to face with the creature, who calls himself [[Omnus]]. He demands they let him by, as nothing gets in his way – and he'll make them gator chow if they don't. After Terry tells him he has bad manners, Omnus readies a punch, but the swing causes him to lose his balance and fall into the moat. Omnus shouts for help as he is swarmed by Crocogaters; Robota comes to the rescue – though she tells him he doesn't deserve it – and her steel skin proves totoo tough for the gators' teeth. After she hoists him back up onto the log, Omnus thanks them, saying he owes them one, and he heads off along the log.
 
Terry and Robota come to the Milk Toast Malt Shop, and its warning sign of "No sissies allowed" fails to prepare them for the myriad tough, muscular, and mean alien thugs patronising the dive bar. They approach the bar and order their chocolate malts (Robota's with a shot of oil), and tell the [[Milk Toast Malt Shop#Fish person bartender|bartender]] they're looking for a man named Squink. The bartender is quite familiar with the "ice cream freak", pointing him out at the other end of the bar.
 
Down there, the [[Milk Toast Malt Shop#Boss bartender|boss bartender]] is refusing to serve Squink another banana split, as he's over the limit. Squink gets aggressive, and he throws his sundae dish at the bartender; thus turns out to be the last straw for the boss, who calls for his bouncers, [[Morthrott and Grmbil]], to toss the troublemaker into the moat with the Crocogaters. Terry protests, and the boss turns his goons on him and Robota, too. Though they put up a fight, Terry is soon grabbed, and Robota captured by one of the bouncers' wrist-mounted electromagnet.

===Continuity notes===
*A [[Gxyzpldberry]] is a type of fruit one might expect to get in a sundae.
*One of the bartenders is the same species as the mother and daughter fish people seen on [[Bznko]] in "[[The Search]]".
*An alien with horns starts telling a joke about [[w:An Englishman, an Irishman and a Scotsman|telling a joke]] about a [[Gwork]], an [[Arterian]], and an Earthling]]. The skinny alien's response suggests that the Earthling is the usual butt of the joke.
