Mojo Mechanics follows the adventures
of Ajax Sterling and Bippy the Space Hippo, two space mechanics who have a lot of wacky
adventures. In the first story, Ajax and Bippy get rid of an infestation of space roaches
(very nasty critters) on a manned satellite. The second, and longer story, has the boys
vacationing on New Calgoorlie where they find all of the planet’s oceans have been
evaporated. The culprits are a lizard-like species, the Sithians (or
"Thithianth" as they pronounce it). They’ve decided to use the local
inhabitants, Calgoorlian sperm whales, as "luxury vacation homes" and since all
water on the planet is dried up that certainly looks doable.
If any of the above sounds at all serious believe me, it’s not.
This series is definitely played for laughs and it’s done well. The artwork fits the
goofy tone of the stories perfectly and the sight gags in some of the panels are a hoot.
If you like your outer space adventure in the tongue-in-cheek mode then definitely check
out Mojo Mechanics.
