page 1367 – Starting The Day Off Right
Oh boy! It’s time for me to post another rough draft because the real comic is taking too long! Aren’t you just THRILLED? No, but seriously, I may have gotten a surprising amount of things done before Animazement last weekend, but this week’s comic was NOT one of them. And seeing as how I’m now trying to bash out a new set of Conventional Wisdom comics before the post-convention buzz dies down, there’s even less creative energy to spare than usual. So it might end up being a full day between me posting this and the final, fully-edited and colored-in version being ready. Sorry, guys!
But man, I really am busting out ALL the future pop cultural references we haven’t seen in a while, aren’t I?
EDIT: OKAY! Finished draft of the comic is finished! And I was only a few minutes short of getting it up the same day as the rough draft! (Well, if you’re on the American East Coast, of course) For those who care, here’s the half-finished version that went up Tuesday morning. There’s not a lot of difference this time around, but hey, why not?
5/29 EDIT: Okay, I hate to close out a month like this AGAIN, but amid all the added work load this week, I totally forgot about doing a new TWC Incentive. Sorry! There should be one next week!
Marshall, do you have the ability to sense when people will talk about food and act on it beforehand? Because you’re honestly terrifying right now, despite how helpful you’re being. If it wasn’t for the fact that I know this is 100% about preparing tasty food for other people for you, this would be enough for me to worry about you being a stalker.
Thus, the statement that you’re being terrifying.
What’s funny is, Tabitha was actually supposed to be saying something along those lines, but because I didn’t plan out the page layout well enough, I had to jettison some speech bubbles to keep things from being too cluttered to follow.
So three guesses what next week’s page will be about 😀
My guess. May running around annoying Ichabod. My second guess, we’ll see Vengeance upsetting Tarkus by accident. My third guess, Mariska will run into Lynne.
What? I can’t guess that next week’s chapter starts with Tabitha being upset at Marshall for his creepy actions. Not only is it hypocritical of her to accuse someone else of acting creepy, you, the author, basically implied that was the case. So it HAS to be something else!
Well NOW I need to make the whole page just be Blip sitting around spouting philosophical-sounding gibberish! 😀
Hey, I gave you some VERY specific guesses so that you had enough wriggle room to make me wrong without screwing up the story! I didn’t even mention the pair of characters running around the ship that are known to make a mess of everything for fun and destruction!
