Personality and Biography
Slim seems to be rather anxious and panicky. He is often depicted as sweating nervously, stuttering, talking in a panicked manner, and being generally easy to upset. He is new to space travelling, wearing a vintage spacesuit instead of a modern one most other characters are wearing, as well as carrying a physical map with him. He also seems to have an affinity for anime ,as shown on page 095a, where multiple pictures of anime characters are seen on his phone, most notably Sailor Moon and Hatsune Miku.

He is also a musician, specifically a D.J., as he mentions his gigs occasionally. He appears to have a lot of fans, one of which causing the bounty on his head at the beginning of the comic.

Slim first appears on a taxi-ship, headed to a city on a blue meteor in the Andromeda galaxy. He gets off the ship to check his map, before the map is shot out of his hands by the nearby Yerin and Annie. He is then captured by them, and thrown into a small jail on Yerin and Annie's ship, alongside Fysh. He starts to panic, thinking he will die in jail, before Annie reassures him that he will be fine and gives him some food. Fysh breaks the two of them out of jail using Slim's cellphone, and they get in a taxi-ship driven by Travis, much to the dismay of Yerin. They are soon kicked out of Travis' cab by Fysh, and left in an asteroid belt just outside of the Andromeda galaxy. He gets upset, throwing a rock against the other asteroids before talking to Travis. The rock hits a nearby Yerin on the head, angering them. Yerin then picks up the two in their mini ship and takes them to a cafe. There he finds his old Earth friend, Malvin. The two chat for a bit and overhear Linus discussing a map that leads to the Center of Cosmos with Yerin, Annie, and Travis.

After blackmailing Yerin into delivering him to his final concert on his tour, Slim discovers that Linus has snuck onto the ship in his equipment trunk. At first, he attempts to turn Linus in, but is convinced to let him stay after he learns that Linus' map really leads to his mother. Touched by Linus' sadness and desire to see his mom, as he seems to relate to the homesickness, Slim decides to let him stay.
