Far Out There

Okay, so here’s the thing: I was busy working on Conventional Wisdom’s Katsucon update a lot longer than expected, and didn’t even get started penciling this page until 1 am. When that happens, guess what? Suddenly this page has super dramatic lighting that I don’t have to color in!

Yeeeeeeaaaaaaaaah… sorry to be cutting corners this time. Also, sorry I realized WAY too late that they layout here is off. There should have been three rows, not two. The first panel should have been the whole top row, so that we could see a sky with dramatic lightning and crap. The 2nd and 3rd panels should and been the middle row, so that the whole bottom row could be the last one. Then we’d have more room to see Megaweapon squirming in terror. That’s always good. *sigh* The things you realize at five in the morning.

Well, as much as I hate to say it, all that early morning last-minute scrambling means no new Voting Incentive today. I know, I know, but I don;t have another convention until late May, so this shouldn’t happen again any time soon. In the meantime, you can always vote anyway and continue to appreciate a future where uniforms can double as wetsuits!

(Historical Notes: I forget if I mention this elsewhere, but this is one of the better “plot hole turned into a plot point” moments in Far Out There.  I had to explain why we never saw Megaweapon at the Mad Science convention, since I hadn’t come up with the Hector Kids at that point, so we had that throwaway line about him being grounded.  Except, of course, why would a kid being grounded be brought on the trip in the first place?  Pretty much everything about Augusta’s character and her relationship with both Dr. Hector and Megaweapon was originally conceived just to explain away that logical inconsistency.  Truly, 90% of all creative breakthroughs are just mad scrambles to clean up after a mistake.)
