Far Out There

Oh man… I just want you guys to know, I came very, VERY close to calling an audible and ditching this page. Well, not “ditching” really, but pushing it back until next week and doing another “Blip says a non-sequitur” page today. One look at that second panel will tell you what took so long, and that’s the sloppy, rushed, “unfinished” version. I could easily have spent another whole day squeezing little easter eggs into that pile of stuff and cleaning up the line work in ways that most people would never actually notice… but THIS time I resolved to tough it out and get this thing done in one blast… and now I REALLY need a nap.

Not a whole lot else to say, or at least not a lot I can remember in my sleep-deprived state. New Voting Incentive. Yeah.

…I’m gonna go lie down.

5/8/18 EDIT: aaaaaaand the new page is running even later, enough to justify a “we’re running late” message here. I’ll probably end up posting a half-finished version later today, just to make up a BIT of time, but even that won’t be until well into the afternoon. There IS a fresh Voting Incentive up at this point, so you can at least go see that.

(Historical Notes:  See what I mean about the original comments getting less and less fun to read?  So, yeah, there’s already been some brand new discussion on previous pages about the plausibility of The Kids managing to stuff all of this stuff into an escape pod during the limited time they should have had.  Rather than try to recap it here, I’ll just invite you all to go browsing through the more recent pages and see for yosuelf!  And speaking of me not doing work: I thought about adding some extra layers of shading to this page, something to give it more of a sense of depth, but I think there’s already juuuust enough shading to where adding any more would make certain parts totally illegible.  At least, that’s what I’m telling myself to feel alright about just moving on to the next page without stopping.)
