It's their biggest cash cow, so what do you expect? Besides, there's not many options for AU series considering their respective wrap ups.

It's cool watching a spinoff of a side-character.

So the logic here is to make another spinoff set in the U.C. which was wrapped up decades ago?

Much like current history, there are always tales that we find out about well after the fact. Besides, this is clearly a gag manga anyway, so its not like it plays into the continuity. UC is NEVER finished.

A “alleged” gag manga based off a relatively unimportant character?

It's not geared toward you, so why should it bother you? This isn't taking away from your viewing experience or from Gundam in general. You wouldn't have been any wiser to this series existing had ANN not reported on it, most likely. I guess my first question is whether you even follow Gundam because if you try to claim that UC wrapped up decades ago, well... no, it wasn't and never will be.

You don't have to be new to this to realize that these sorts of comics have existed since Gundam began. They're a myriad of oddball hijinx that exist in the wild, many that were never reprinted. But that begs the question of whether you ever read a Gundam gag manga in the first place? They're built off of the unimportant/background characters, hence the point of their comedy. This very same site is hosting another bonkers Gundam manga that has a character plucking a shotgun from inside of her...
