with bean speed ahead

I love how the artist matched the skin tones of face and butts between the first two cells.

Space, the final frontier, to boldly go where no fart has gone before...

You'd be amused to hear that "fart" in most Scandinavian languages means speed/movement/travel

So we have fartpilot, overfart, fartbump, fartkontrol etc

It's not the fart that kills - it's the smäll (smell)
Not sure if this applies to all Scandinavian languages, but I remember learning that the word for "end" in Swedish is "slut".
Would "end of speed" be fartslut?
- Yes!
  Also, the last bus/train station is the slutstation. And that's where you get off!
I personally could use more fartkontrol

This is not a thing I ever wanted to think about

Make it so, Number Two!

After the Burn, captains did what they had to do.

"It's simply impossible to go beyond fart factor 10."
\ "Eject the fart core!! (rip)"
\ "I'll execute you just like Tuvix if you ever change the type of beans in my coffee specification again!!"
\ "We monitor for species that are on the verge of achieving the fart-drive technology."
\ "Bean me up, Scotty."
\ "The fart field extends around the ship traveling through fart-warped space, it's like hot-boxing or Dutch ovenning."
\ "Foton torpedo, target their starboard fart-box, on my mark!"
\ "Warning! Incoming fart signatures!!"
\ "Do not reverse the polarity on the engine drive or we will all instantly get pink eye!!"
\ "Who put hot-sauce on the Difarthium crystals?? The ship can't take the extra boost!!"
\ "Wesley, go clean the warp anuses!"

Whoever changed the warp scale in Star Trek: grumble grumble, warp 9 and warp 9.5 sound barely different.
I dunno about you, but I prefer a scale for velocity where as velocity goes to infinity, so does your scale
- ... all these scales can go to infinity regardless of if they are logarithmic or not (if I understood your complaint correctly).
  And you are right, warp 10 isn't the maximum, just an (energy consumption of that) tech limitation. And also that is very ship-capability specific - eg crew's experience on a warp 7 ship going from 7.0 to 7.5 is not at all comparable in any practical navigational reasons to crew's experience on a warp 9 ship going from 9.0 to 9.5.
  I don't think the warp 10 being infinite by default is cannon tho:

So... which one of you is going to ask Randall Munroe if this is plausible or not? Disregarding the the obvious frozen-butt problem, of course.

Farts are methane, right? The Space X raptor engine flies with subzero cooled liquid methane and an oxidiser.
So yeah it's totally possible to have a fart drive.
Ejecting just farts would also work, but to a very smaller degree of effectiveness.
- where are you getting the oxygen though
If every butt had a tiny airlock 2 door system that operated to a very accurate degree of opening and shutting just when the farts came out, and all simultaneously, I believe frozen butts can be avoided
- Maybe also use infra red heaters to keep butts warm and toasty at peak operating temperature for farp speed would also help 😬

"Fart" in norwegian means speed so checks out

Ye olde farts-humper

Fart in Swedish means...

Speeed

Never watched star trek. No idea what this comic is trying to say. But I love the surrealist energy lol.

Panel 1: The engine room of a starship, with giant cans of baked beans piped directly to the mouths of some heads poking out of the wall.
Panel 2: An outside view of the rear of the starship, showing an array of butts protruding from the starship, implied to be the butts of the people in the wall in Panel 1.
Panel 3: The starship captain issuing the command "fart".
Panel 4: The starship is now being propelled through space via the thrust generated by the array of farting butts from Panel 2.
This is more-or-less the same as the experimental drive introduced in Star Trek Discovery.
