There's Nothing to Do on Mars

(4) K-3 Davey, accompanied by his robot dog, zooms around his new home--Mars--declaring everything boring. Their unexpected discovery of water on the planet begins a land rush, which sends Davey's family packing to Saturn. The story's joke is one-note; the draw is Gall's digitally enhanced engravings that give the characters a stylish 1950s look and the Martian landscape an American Southwest appearance.
