Far Out There

Okay, before anything else, some business to take care of: This Thursday is Far Out There’s 6th Birthday! I’ve got a special, extra page in the works to mark the occasion, so it won’t be like that one time where I forgot about it. And then, the very next day, is Valentine’s Day! Because I love to overdose on silly holiday-related comics, we’re ALSO gonna have a special page on Friday! …which is probably making the more astute of you wonder when the other “real” page for this week will go up. Yeah, about that… there isn’t gonna be one. Normally, in a situation like this, I’d just do an extra update on Saturday. But there is nothing “normal” about the next week. I’m gonna be at Katsucon over the weekend (traveling through a snow storm, which will be all kind of fun), which means I have to get extra comics done to cover the Conventional Wisdom workload. Since I already have the birthday/Valentine pages drawn, I’m just gonna call that the Friday update and focus on next weeks stuff. And hey, it’s still one more comic than we usually get in a week. That’s cool, right?

And get this: despite all this scrambling and time crunch and what have you, we still have a new Voting Incentive! …don’t ask me what it’s supposed to BE, though.

(Historical Notes: Ironically, this is actually one of the few instances were the old SmackJeeves comments provide enough context clues where I CAN tell what Voting Incentive went with this page.  It’s that one that kind of looks like the Main Cast is staring in some sort of Star Wars-ish scifi/fantasy adventure… or, as the commenters decided, their own RPG campaign.)
