Far Out There

Well, we all knew it was gonna happen at some point, I guess it’s only surprising that things started running late so soon. Yeah, sorry about this, I had several unexpected errands all spring up at once yesterday, and the pile-up kind of wrecked my schedule. Not only is that why this page is only coming out this afternoon, but I’m afraid it also means there’s no TWC Voting Incentive yet. I’d started work on it last night, but for obvious reasons I needed to prioritize work on the main comic. Thankfully, tomorrow’s comic should be a lot less complicated (way less mood lighting this time) so I should be able to get the Incentive done in time to go up with that.

Incidentally, some of you long-term readers may wonder why this gag is involving Skyscraper Girls when this is usually Sandy Hume’s territory… and yeah, that’s a weird choice. I basically just drew Skye watching Skyscraper Girls first, and didn’t write the narration until the very last minute. It’s almost as if I’m very haphazard in my planning for these things!

…also, I really do love those trippy 60s ornaments.

(Historical Notes: Yeah, this is one of the pages that I wasn’t all that pleased about.  The idea was to use a random stock picture of the inside of a storage unit or tractor trailer to give it that whole “vagabond making lousy living conditions into a home” feel… but WOW I couldn’t find anything that worked as intended.  Even in the finished draft, the perspective is all wrong, and it also looks way to empty.  There ought to be more clutter and stuff stacked up in all the corners, like there’s several other Jesus Freaks sleeping in that same room.  Well, this whole thing was an experiment, and some experiments have to fail, otherwise you never end up learning anything.)
