Oh snap! Could the plot finally be moving forward in a way that doesn’t simply involve characters running from one room to another? …naw, probably not.

I’m a little embarrassed to admit that I very nearly loaded this page with absolutely no backgrounds in any panels. Even now, I wish I’d managed to squeeze in at least one “real” background than just colors and patterns. Unfortunately, I was rallying all weekend to get the rest of this month’s pages drawn in advance (thus freeing up the next two weeks to scramble over other, Otakon-related matters) and that “little” detail seems to have escaped me. Drat.

Oh, and there’s a new voting incentive up at Top Web Comics! It’s some familiar characters like you’ve never seen them before (and probably won’t again) so be sure to check it out!

(Historical Notes: I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, green vector graphics on a black background will ALWAYS look like “science” to me.)
