page 782 – it’s always something
I’ve got good news and bad news… Well, more like “I’ve got bad news” since the GOOD news -my actually getting the page done & posting it early- is pretty self-evident. The bad news, unfortunately, is that I don’t have a new voting incentive for you guys. See, the big Conventional Wisdom update is giving me a crazy hard time right now. I thought I could save time by sketching out a lot of pages at the convention, but those turned out so sloppy that I’ve actually fallen BEHIND schedule fixing them up. Figures, right? So yeah, I just didn’t have time to do that AND this page AND a voting incentive. In fact, I only just now realized that I forgot to do Far Out There’s Patreon comic for this week! Sorry, gang! As soon as the Conventional Wisdom stupidity is taken care of, I’ll do an extra Patreon comic to make up for this screw up!
Anyway, regarding this actual comic (which, to be honest, it way messier than I would have liked, thanks to EVERYTHING JUST MENTIONED): Look! It’s Tabitha’s Mom! …’s voice. It’s been a while since we last saw/didn’t actually see her!
EDIT: The knowledge that this page was sitting here half-done was just bugging me too much, so I went ahead and added in the extra layers of shading that were supposed to be in the bottom panels from the start. Hopefully Tabitha looks a tad less “horrifying zombie thing” like now 🙂
(Historical Notes: I think Tabitha would take great offense at Past Me using such hurtful language about zombies.)
@ Hover-over Text: The answer to how the toilets function sufficiently to allow Stilez, despite her hatred/fear of water, near them is simple. Utilizing the same tech as Sonic Showers, the toilets have Sonic Flushers & Cleaners built into them, giving you a pristine bowl every time.
I was going to go the “vacuum of space = vacuum of plumbing” route, but then I thought about how it would need to be cleaned, and completely sonic toilets just made much more sense than just having sonic cleaning.
This being the Far Out There universe, the more an explanation makes sense, the less likely it is to be how things actually work.
