Now THIS is a milestone! After years and years and YEARS of making sneaky early bird cameos in the Christmas comics, May finally gets to appear as a “regular” character, AND be acknowledged by name! That’s last one’s probably the more important one, since I think May’s still got more than twice the number of appearances as “unnamed future character” as she does as a regular official cast member.

Also… I don’t like trying to draw steampunk technology. I can do smooth, curvy retro scifi, and I can to messy, crumbling pseudo-cyberpunk, but intricate clockwork just isn’t my thing.

(Historical Notes: While I stand by my dislike of trying to draw clockwork, notice how most of those gears don’t even touch each other, I still think the rest of this one turned out quite nicely.  This started out as a Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla box, if you can believe it!)
