Spark makes a similar comment in LSH 85. This gave me the impression that Sensor's species don't eat live animals - of course, I could be wrong as it was never confirmed either way.


I'm not sure which issue it was in (and it might even be one of the ones you reference above) but I'm pretty sure I remember seeing a panel of Sensor in a restaurant ordering a whole cooked chicken for herself to eat. I guess the chicken could have been cloned but if so, I don't remember it being mentioned as such. And even if it was, isn't the LSH the pre-eminent authority for the idea that "clones are the equals of the originals"?

(Now that I think about it, I'm almost positive that it was the "date" issue where she went out with Reep wearing the funny, fruity hat. Was that L* 49?)

I think Sensor is the ultimate example of "good idea/poor execution".

The LSH writers of that period attempted the admirable and necessary goal of adding another 'alien' member to the team but did not properly consider the repercussions of a) making that alien a formerly human and fan-favourite character; and b) developing a functional background for the character.


That the LSH cretaors just might have made a faulthy evaluation in turning Princess Projectra into a snake is certainly a good possibility, Blackula.

But I doubt it, considering the rest of the evidence I stumbled over when I reread the whole run. (And I wasn't even looking for it, but it kinda became obvious, when you reading more than 50 or so of them in a span of 3 weeks, and the same themes and motives pop up over and over again, always within the same context of course.)

And yeah, I remember that panel with Sensor looking at that chicken and licking her lips as well! It was the only time i read a comic and suddenly the comic caused me to develop an acute craving for backed chicken!
