Far Out There

That last panel confounds me on several levels. On the one hand, it turns out it’s REALLY had to express “what the heck?” through body language when that body’s eyes are covered up. What’s more, part of me really didn’t want to HAVE that panel and just end the page on “WHAT THE CRAP, DID ALPHONSE JUST GET EATEN?” In the end, it seemed like a dumb idea since any tension that “cliffhanger” might generate would be immediately shrugged off when we finally DID see him okay and mildly confused… and that’s assuming there was any tension in the first place. I mean, let’s be honest here. You all KNOW I’m too much of a softie to let anything bad happen to sweet widdle Alphonse, so why even pretend otherwise?

Anyway, in case you missed it, there was a special Independence Day page yesterday, so be sure to take a look at that. Also, if all goes well over the weekend, we should have new Voting Incentives starting again on Tuesday! WAHOO!!!
