Far Out There

I wish I was happier about this page than I am. I mean, I’m not UNhappy with it or anything. Still, I tried doing some things differently, which only resulted in the page taking a LOT longer than it needed to. Heck, I could have just inked the rough draft and had this update done by midnight with no real difference. I know, whaa whaa whaa…

Still, I DO like that last panel. Fun fact: I deliberately avoided working out how Layla’s plan would unfold because I knew it’d turn out funnier if I just made up some crazy crap at the last minute. And there you have it: Space Bison. Don’t lie, you want to know how the heck that happened just as badly as Avatar does.

Next, The Killer Station of Deadly Doom. Has anyone else noticed a weird bit of equilibrium regarding who gets the spotlight when in these comics? It seems like whenever the main comic is focusing on secondary characters, Ichabod is hogging the spotlight in the incentives, and whenever the main cast is alone in the main comics, the incentives are all about completely unrelated characters. I wish I was doing this this on purpose!

Finally, HEY! Did you remember that we have a Forum? ‘Cos… I kinda didn’t. Yeah, busy busy blah blah blah. But yeah, that’s still a thing!

EDIT (THIS IS IMPORTANT): Okay, My computer crapped out on me AGAIN last night, and this time there’s no telling when (or if) I can get it fixed again. As much as I hate to say it, all updates are off for the time being. I’m REALLY sorry, guys, but like so much of life, this suckiness is far beyond my control…

(Historical Notes: Yeah, have you noticed how often I was complaining about technical difficulties around this point?  It wasn’t even that I was having THAT much more computer problems than usual, it was just waaaaay harder to get anything fixed with me stuck in DC, so you all heard about it a lot more.  Also, eagle-eyed readers will start to notice more and more and more little art changes between these pages and the SmackJeeves ones.  It started to get really, REALLY hard for me to just repost these things without trying to adress some of the growing pains the comic was experiencing at this point… even if doing so is why the re-posts slowed down so badly this week.  These changes may not be obvious, but they ARE time-consuming.)
