Far Out There

Wow, THIS took a long time to finish, didn’t it? Sorry ’bout that, turns out comics take a lot longer to draw when you’re frantically rewriting them. I mentioned Friday that there were some story problems I needed to iron out, and this is one of them. Originally, only Layla and Avatar were going to follow Trigger on his lovesick quest to find Skye, Ichabod was going to stay on the ship. After all, there’s no Nitpicking job for him to do this time, so he doesn’t really HAVE to do anywhere. But for very spoilerific reasons, leaving Ichabod on the ship was proving to be very problematic and I had to have him tag along with the others. Alas, while that fixed a lot of problems, it ALSO meant that I had to rewrite the next few weeks to accommodate an extra character. Good times!

Still, it’s nice to have such a large chunk of the cast doing stuff all at once, and nicer still to have a weird Ichabod flashback. He’s been telling many strage anecdotes, but actual flashbacks are something of a rarity.

And, of course, we’ve got a new Voting Incentive which I dare say is pretty awesome.

(Historical Notes: I’m pretty sure this wasn’t done on purpose, but that big guard reminds me a lot of the buttler-bot from The Killer Station of Deadly Doom.)
