So, the original idea for this page was that Trigger tried to make his own Christmas tree out of nannybot parts. I didn’t go with that because of space issues -I wanted to, you know, actually have room for the[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Not gonna lie, I would totally put lava lamp decorations on my tree, fire hazard or no. It’d be like an extra elaborate version of bubble lights. Have you ever seen bubble lights? My grandmother used to have them among[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Several rapid-fire comments: I’m quite pleased with the atmospherics in that second panel. Even if there’s holes in the back, I have no idea how Vashti gets shirts on and off over her wings. I want to make Xal Gox[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
