Far Out There

HOLY CRAP! I actually got an extra page of Far Out There done before leaving for AWA! Hopefully this bodes well for the Conventional Wisdom update, seeing as how I’ll be needed to get that AND a new batch of Far Out There pages finished before I head out to AUSA. Cross your fingers, folks.

Speaking of scrambling to finish things, I wish I’d had more time to redraw the first two panels of this page. There really should have been more of a big establishing shot panel showing the mostly-empty dining hall. Not only would it have set the “early next morning” vibe better, but there would have been room to write some wacky, made up foods on the vending machines (which I had to leave as blank boxes in the background here). Drat.

And while we’re on the topic, I’m once again not sure if there’s a new Voting Incentive when you read this or not. I mean, I’ll have been back for over a day by the time this page goes live, so I HOPE there’ll be a new one. But I’m writing this a whole week in advance, so your guess is as good as mine right now. Actually, no. Your guess is better, because YOU can just go vote right away and see for yourself.

EDIT: Oh for the love of… well, apparently after setting Friday’s page to go up late, I set this one to go up EARLY. I’m sure I could just hide it again for another day… but nah, the world needs to see the proof of my towering incompetence. Enjoy your early page! …though it DOES mean my mad plan to draw a new Voting Incentive before this page went live is now dashed. Ehh, I’m pretty sure that was doomed anyway. I am VERY tired right now…

(Historical Notes: Yeah, I’ve already said it elsewhere, but this is where you can reeeaaally see why I started to drastically scale back my convention trips.  I was soooo exhausted by the end of this year.  Also, man, it’s freaky to see just how far back I was setting up the “Drop Off Stilez” plotline that STILL hadn’t happened by the time the hiatus hit.)
