Oh, I see! You count by the Chinese New Year! Fantastic!

I have tried the whole delegation thing with my daughter. She assigns things to her stuffed animals in turn, and then nothing gets done.

How horrible. Death by delegation.

I never realized that idol was so ... bawdy.

I JUST noticed that the moon symbol on the underling's coveralls has a crescent moon incorporated into it. That's clever.

Also, great comic, yadda yadda. If you ever had any comics that weren't great, I'd feel more need to compliment this one.

HE'S TO BE DELEGATED TO DEATH!

I have to find a way to use this in everyday conversation!

That last panel had me ROFLing. "I gave him the opportunity to exceed my expectations! That's good management"

As always, well done! What method will the moon emperor use next to try to vanquish his foe? May I suggest death by boring monologue?

Wrong copyright date! That comic says 2012, when it's ...wait.

*shuffles away awkwardly*

"Death by Delegation" is the name of my new Tito Puente cover band.

I'm currently serving a death by delegation sentence at work. It's not all it's cracked up to be.

How is giving birth "bawdy"?

@xenapan, don't you mean by Moonologue?

@Paddy - because it doesn't look like a woman giving birth, it looks like a "cowgirl".

@Franz: Moonologue. That's priceless, man. Well played. :-)

I have just opened the comic and the first thing I see is rick portraying the moon-emperor. I am already smiling.

I can not fault the brilliance of the guard in panel 4 in anyway.

freak-A great job Mr. Meyer!

That is good management. It never actually works, but who has time for such low-level details?

I love all the ongoing story lines in this comic, including the never-satisfied client (that got a new and brilliant installment Wednesday) and the moon men. So much goodness.

I see that cutting Rocket Hat's chin strap has become standard procedure at this point. At least they're improving.

So...this time the details ARE important?

Great strip! It would have been perfect, but I can't see the emperor's knobby knees!

Is this secretly about Ron Paul and his racist News Letters?

Yikes! I was actually worried by the first panel! So much so, I rushed to the second panel before I finished the first, and was subsequently relieved to see Rocket Hat still alive, in his usual bondage paraphernalia.

So, how well do the Moon Men get along with the Amazon Women on the Moon? Has Rocket Hat's machismo and his extra long, dual-rockets on his cone seduced the Amazon Women with the notion of vacationing, traveling or moving to some place new? Perhaps they've abandon the Moon, hence the Moon Men's contemplation of destroying of the Amazon Women's new home of Earth?

I do worry the Emperor may one day succeed with Rocket Hat's demise, if only by accident. Not much before today, now very much so.

Kristy - My daughter does the same thing. Except stuff does get done. hmm AS I think about it I should look into that.

Marvellous! And what a wonderful last panel!

The copyright date!! At last!! It's 2012!!! LET'S PARTY!!!!!!!

Rocket Hat is my favorite character, and all he does is stand there, plotting (or not) his escapes.

I hope Rocket Hat never stops getting captured by the Moon Men. If he did, they might actually accomplish something--heaven forbid.

I think my last boss tried to delegate me to death. I've gotta get me one of those helmets. With a really tough chin strap.
