It’s mine so nobody can tax me and I don’t tax them for living in my galaxy.
And I don’t plan to in the future.

It won’t go well for anyone who tries to impose taxes on anyone else there.
I’ll have none of that!

Cool!

I’m on your side in this, so don’t worry. I’m not gonna call ERS (External Revenue Service) or anything.

*ducks around corner and speed dials ERS.

You know, I wasn’t going to have any kind of immigration restrictions

Me?

I’m innocent!

I keep people on retainer to alibi that I wasn’t even there! It wasn’t me!

And I have a paranormal lawyer on call that can prove the existence of doppelgangers!

For reals! How would I know how to spell doppelgangers if there was no such thing as doppelgangers?

I don’t know. At first I trusted you, but ...

A temporary (500k year) travel ban from this galaxy may be in order.

Trusted me?

*Tears up and has the beginning of snot bubbles.*

That’s the kindest, most thoughtful thing anyone’s ever said to me.

*hug*

I need a moment to gather myself.

*walks away*

Dang. Hardly any cash in his wallet.

That’s it! No more mister nice guy. I’d better not see you within a million light years of my galaxy.

A guy just can’t have anything nice anymore.

Near as I can find out. It isn’t in Cartes du Ceil’s large database, nor, Sky Safari. The Wikipedia article about the Galaxy mentioned it, but, SINBAD didn’t give much either. But, it sure does look like a small, or, much further distant galaxy.

Sirius is the dog star, but Lee is the cat star who vexes him by jumping on the counters.
