page 831 – cue melancholy music
Well, at least I managed to get ONE extra Far Out There page done before I left for Animazement. As I write this, I have no idea if I’ll be able to get next Tuesday’s page done too, or if I’ll end up scrambling to get it done while also working on the next Conventional Wisdom update. Oh, and I also went ahead and did another Patreon comic, so you guys at least get something extra on time.
But yeah, I’ll be down at Animazement all weekend, so if you’re in Raleigh, come find me in Artist Alley and buy some stuff! I’ve got some new Far Out There Goodies!
(Historical Notes: I can’t really do anything about it due to the gradients AND the blurriness, but I wish I could bring out the backgrounds a bit on this one. There’s actually a LOT of lot-relevant stuff going on back there. Yeah, the whole joke is that we’re focusing on Layla INSTEAD of all that, but I still wish I’d struck a better balance between foreground and background here.)
And here I thought the entire point of this page was to show how lonely Layla secretly is, and thus depressed that her one close friend who isn’t her “brother” is ignoring her.
In the short term, of course. But since I know what’s coming next (and knew perfectly well at the time) I still wish I’d set it up a bit better.
