I was initially confused by this, too, so to clear things up for anyone else: these guys were last seen on Devlin, the ice planet that the senators are visiting, so that’s why it’s cold. It just looks like the Muffin because it’s an Alliance base.
(Interestingly, I think Devlin may also have been the planet we saw Future Skip working to build a new, less corrupt government on. Hmm…)
What’s with the blue snowflakes in the speech bubbles?
To emphasize that they’re cold?
Maybe they are in an environment with a high helium content, makes their voice high-pitched.
… wait, how would you show a high-pitched voice in comic?
A more whimsical font, perhaps?
