Heh heh...very funny (after reading it twice and letting it sink in). Great job for a one-page comedy. |

Cocker-pit? Like a cocker spaniel pit bull mix? Pretty good writing here, but wasn’t especially drawn to the story. Still, not a bad effort.
Best of luck, Gary |

Writing was solid. I got a little confused on the action on screen vs planet - but did get there eventually.
Cute |

Bit of a mixed bag. I had to read it twice but it's actually pretty funny once it sinks in. |

Not sure I got the joke but it might be because I'm international. |

Think this one went a bit over my head; I read it twice and still didn’t quite get it. Probably says more about me than the writing. |

I don’t understand the significance of the English vs. American. I read the comments to try work it out and people mentioned having to let it settle. I had another read and I still don’t get it.
English breed dog vs. American breed dog?
The writing is good, no issues there.

I think I get it. But alas, I believe this one was a miss for me. |

A fun little joke tale, even though I'd normally turn my nose up at a dog-in-space story. Last line would be better if it said, "We should have gone with the American breed," or some such. |

An American breed would be a mutt... and mutts are so much more loyal;) |

The humor didn't land for me here and there wasn't much flow in the plot. Overall presentation was pretty good, so still a 2 |

I think the first slug line is incorrect - if we're on the planet then we can't be EXT. ASTEROID BELT.
I too had to read it a couple of times. I guess it's a play on the two uses of the word rover?
As a comedy it didn't hit the mark for me. |

This one was humorous. I like the idea behind it, even though it's impossible. It's sci-fi and a comedy, it works for what it is. Not serious, just plain old comedy. |
