Far Out There

Okay, I admit it. I’m abusing my copy/paste privileges again, AND I’m starting to take an unfair advantage of the Infinite Canvas here (which will really bite back if I ever try to format pages like this for a book). Still, for a page that I bashed out in a frantic rush before a con, I think it turned out GREAT. Granted, it helps that I’ve written out this part of the story a million times in my head already, so I kind of already know just how I wanted it to go.

Oh, and look! The Genocide Pie returns! I’ve been on a call-back SPREE lately!

But yeah, as you read this, I’ll be up at Anime Boston. Hi to anybody who just stumbled onto this comic ‘cos you found a flyer! HOPEFULLY, there should also be a new Voting Incentive as you read this, too. If all went well…

(Historical Notes: While the callback to The Genocide Pie is a fun call-back and a nice piece of dark comedy, I do wish I’d written the narration to be at least SOMEWHAT connected to the “action” onscreen.  Like, if instead of a simple ad for The Pie, it was baking instructions or a commercial for some kind of cooking apparatus, something that’d lead to a description something dangerous and destructive bubbling up an bursting out in a terrifying eruption of terror and death.  Ya’know, like we’re about to see happen here.  It’s the kind of little detail that makes the difference between an okay comic and a great one.  Oh, and speaking of little details, I wondered if anyone managed to predict the significance of one of those blurry background figures being in earshot of all this… then discovered I had edited it in after the fact.  Whoops.)
