Okay, time for some news: Aside from the fact that I did indeed get the rest of that Patreon madlib series posted and you could be reading it right now for as little as a $1 donation, I need to give a heads-up on next week’s schedule. For one thing, there’ll be an extra update on Wednesday for Valentine’s Day. That’s right, I’m gonna try to get back into the habit of doing more pages for secondary holidays. Poor neglected Arbor Day hasn’t even gotten ONE bonus page in its honor! But anyway, I needed to go ahead and mention that now, because I’ll probably forget to bring it up on Tuesday. For you see: on February 13th, 2008 -exactly ten years from Tuesday- the very first official Far Out There update went live. Yup, Far Out There’s about to hit double digits! And to mark the occasion, I’ve got one of the weirder celebratory ideas I’ve every had lined up to take the place of the usual update. In other words, the “actual” next page won’t come until next Friday, but there’ll still be plenty of reasons to check back here over the course of the week… not the least of which will be Voting Incentives, which WILL be new on Tuesday even if the main comic is doing something weird. And speaking of which, don’t forget to check out today’s new Incentive!

(Historical Notes: 99% of this page turned out really nicely, so of course I’m busy focusing on how I don’t like Layla’s hair overlapping Hiro’s instead of the other way around.  Also, there was a funny in-character comment for this page where Dr. Freeman raged over the lack of a comic for Arbor Day.  I really should make that happen at some point.)
