page 1292 – fictional expletives
Remember when I was trying to make Avatar using made-up words from other franchises into a running gag? Well, I obviously did right out of nowhere (“grozit” is from the Star Trek: New Frontier books, by the way)
Otherwise, this is one of those cases where I’m annoyed by this comic over things you probably wouldn’t even know about if I didn’t specifically bring them up… which I’m about to do. See, everything in this page was SUPPOSED to just be the first few panels of a larger comic, but I couldn’t make that layout work without crowding some later stuff that really needed more room to breathe. So this wound up being its own thing and the stuff I’d EXPECTED to be drawing for this page got pushed back a week. And, of course, that just gave me a reason to be all annoyed that Far Out There is still only on one page a week, making that delay twice as long as it would have been otherwise, and blah blah blah.
Well, if nothing else, there SHOULDN’T be anything keeping a new TWC Voting Incentive from going up this Friday, so SOMETHING else is happening between now and next Tuesday.
EDIT: SUCCESS! New TWC incentive is up!
We get to see Avatar and Cap’n Crosby interacting, so it is fine.
…And naturally, they are going to the source of all the vending machines, yes?
Looking back, the “Good Food Smell” may be coming from the Vending Machines, while there’s a different food smell from elsewhere. So either Seros Senric is right, or they’re going straight to the dinner party.
Now that you mention it, you are probably right with going to the dinner party, since Murphy’s Law would imply the worst case scenario, and that would probably be worse than eating the stored supplies.
I initially didn’t think so because I’d thought they’d already tried to go to the dinner party but were stopped by the bad blue line, and then went to second-best-food-smell. But it could just be they found an alternate route…
All I’ll say right now is that I specifically tried to word the bits about the food smell to establish that Stilez is deliberately going towards something OTHER than what she smelled on the other side of that Bad Blue Line.
