Nogg and his crew shanghai six humans from the six continents, to bring before the G.O.B. council, to claim Earth’s galactic seat. Once seated, they could put forth a motion to liberate the Eebs and define them as sentient. The story is narrated after the fact by Nogg to Mr. Zorilla, the father of Martina Zorilla, first revealing that Martina has died. How cheery. So, that’s enough to start with if you wish to start reading from the beginning. But if you want to start at the present point, let me fill you in on a few more things. *****SPOILERS BELOW***** Book 1 ended in disaster. The G.O.B. put Dustin (the idiot) in the Human Seat, and he quickly gave away Earth’s most valuable resources and renamed it “Dustinia,” Emily and Growp had a final fight resulting in his death, Nogg was captured by the G.O.B. and shipped off to the Mihrrgoot home planet in a ship full of dung, and the rest (now captained by Martina) escaped with their tails between their legs except for Pierrot who Emily left behind (along with a kiss) to clean up the mess Dustin had created. Okay, now you can start reading from the present strip. Go for it.
