Far Out There

(Historical Notes: Once again, we manage to recover the comments from a page either right before or right after a major comic event, but not the actual events themselves.  I am SO annoyed to not have any of the actual reactions to all these new cast members finally making their “real” debut appearances.  I mean, yeah, Mariska barely even counts at this point, but this is still the first time in a non-holiday comic or flashback we’ve seen her in the actual same physical vicinity as Ichabod.  Oh, and because Past Me has been on the receiving end of a lot of abuse lately, I’ll take this opportunity to give Present Me a bit of a roasting.  I was so excited a day or two ago that I’d FINALLY finished re-editing all the old pages, and all that was left to do was actually post them.  Smash cut to me repeatedly stopping to go back and change something on those “finished” comics, most notably this one where I added the whole “out of focus background” effect at the absolute last minute.  Like, I’d already loaded the image file, then had to go in and delete that one to make room for the NEW finished one.  No wonder nothing ever gets done around here…)
