Far Out There

Now THERE’S something we haven’t seen in a while… and no, I’m not talking about Trigger’s belly button (I mean, come on. Trigger’s shirtless torso has been seen so often, I ought to add it to the character profiles) I mean an actual creative (well, sort of) panel layout! Yeah, that’s the trade-off for getting more polished art INSIDE the panels, the panels themselves tend to get less interesting. A fair trade, I guess, but I do kinda miss getting all Sunday Morning Calvin & Hobbes more often.

Speaking of nitpicky artist complains, I just now noticed something: Layla’s “Dialog” shouldn’t be in normal speech bubbles. They should be in THOUGHT bubbles, or just floating around like disembodied narration or something. We shouldn’t be seeing her talking out loud, though, ‘cos… well, who’s she talking to?

Moving on, New Voting Incentive, in which Tabitha’s Hug Quest takes another unexpected twist!

(Historical Notes: There was some blowback over the implication that I was calling people who talk to themselves out loud “weird,” which I wasn’t.  It’s just weird for LAYLA to do it, seeing as how she’s such a guarded, standoffish person.  This is not the kind of girl who lets stuff out unless she absolutely HAS to.)
