Far Out There

DANG IT, I decided to take a nap for, like, an hour or two to clear my head before working on this page, and suddenly it was morning! So, yeah, that’s my lame excuse for this page being late (It’s nowhere near as good as my most recent excuse for not having the Otakon comics finished yet) AND YET this is the second time in a row where giving up and walking away ended up being the key to getting the page done… sort of. The whole reason I went to take a nap was because I was stuck on something, and as soon as I finally woke up, I knew how to fix it. So, um, yay I guess?

I probably should have gone ahead and posted the line art version of this in the morning, just so SOMETHING would be up before noon. I nearly did, but told myself I didn’t need to, since the only thing I actually needed to color in (beside the effects on Ichabod) was Stilez… but I always, ALWAYS forget how much longer she takes to color in than any of the other characters. Seriously, I have GOT to find an excuse to put her back in a jumpsuit, all those furry details are MURDER to get done.

Oh, and just to add insult to injury, the new Voting Incentive didn’t even go up at midnight because of my sudden need to nod off, AND IT WAS TOTALLY DONE!

(Historical Notes: Okay, this kicks of a muuuuch too long stretch of comics that are just blatantly filler.  Like, I justified it at the time on the grounds that it was trying to evoke the sense of a Preparation Montage… but no.  Past Me just wanted an excuse to draw too many single panel comics in a row, without having to think too hard about how they flowed into one another story-wise.  Again, it’s REALLY becoming obvious that I should have just taken an extended break and come back refreshed rather that straining to keep cranking stuff out on a regular basis.  Also, I mentioned this in the comments, but I actually DID write out some “proper” lyrics to the Principal Baby song as a guide for how Stilez would get it wrong… but then I forgot to same them anywhere, so when it came up again down the line, I had to re-construct those lyrics FROM the wrong version.  Never a dull moment!)
