page 1143 – Oh yeah, the characters people actually LIKE
(Historical Notes: Well, at least Past Me remembered to slip Avatar into the previous page before she had a line in this one, otherwise I might have used it as an excuse to do yet ANOTHER filler page… even more filler than this turned out to be. Hey, remember when Stilez actually did more than just eat? Yet again, Past Me just trying to keep characters occupies while putting off any forward momentum. But I’ve complained enough about that, let’s complain about SOMETHING ELSE! For one thing, I don’t like that Past Me went the copy/paste route for the vending machines on this page. These are all pretend products from elsewhere, and I’m already iffy about blatant pop cultural references in Far Out There, but to have not drawn the art myself just feels too much like a Conventional Wisdom type thing. Just wrong for this comic. Oh, and on a fun little note that really IS historical, I remember this page went up right after tumblr established its new content guidelines, and the thumbnail for this page got auto-flagged. I’m sure it’s because the new AI algorithm whatever misinterpreted the drawing of Stilez I used, but I chose to believe it’s because it thought her food mouth was too gross. I mean, WOW did that effect go horribly, horribly right. Frosting is ruined forever.)
