page 1293 – I originally spelled it SQIRT and didn’t notice
Yup! Ya’ll totally called it! Stilez could smell where all the replacement vending machines sit around until Cap’n Crosby needs to swap out an empty machine. I correctly feared that the signs on all the haphazardly-stacked machines would turn out to be harder to read in the finished version than what I expected while drawing everything. That’s the whole reason last week’s page went up on its own instead of being an extra row on this one. That, and I wanted to give Stilez’s slapstick moment a bit more room to breathe… thought I don’t think that wound up helping much. I could go on and on with rambly art nitpicking about how the second and third panels turned out, but it’s almost 2am and I’ve been working on this thing all day. I doubt I’d do a very good job of explaining myself.
10/13 EDIT: New TWC Voting Incentive is up!
Layla would have liked for the Meat, Other Meat, Pork, Chicken and Bacon Cereal Vending Machines to have been put into the food court a month before Stillez entered the ship. Preferably simultaneously, but sequentially would work too.
While she would likely be offended at even the presence of the “Meat” (in quotes) and Mheet…I’m not sure how she would react to the Bacon Cereal. It’s not actually fake meat and doesn’t pretend to be – would she appreciate the meat flavor in a non-meat product, or put it in the impostor-meat category?
And in sterotypical-cat fashion, will Stilez immediately pounce on the Fish vending machine first?
I dunno, our family cat actually hated fish, so I might be inclined to have Stilez defy some cliches…
Apparently mice don’t usually like cheese either…I’m horribly shocked that decades of cartoons would mislead me like this! Trust no one!!
My sister’s cat is the only cat I’ve known that hates chicken.
He loves fish, and thus will eat it even when it’s covered in a type of sauce (or whatever) he doesn’t like. And since I’ve cooked there and used a can of tuna, then given him a bit of it in the bottom of the can, he now thinks any can opened in the kitchen must be fish, and therefore for him. If it’s not fish, my sister has to show him and let him smell the (hopefully mostly empty) can for him to not think she’s unfairly holding out on him.
He also loves kangaroo, wallaby, and venison… which he’s had maybe once or twice each. I usually go for beef if getting him food, as he likes that too.
Concerning mice and cheese: Depends on the mouse. And the cheese.
Wow, kangaroo? What’s THAT like?
Re: TWC incentive
I never caught that Xalgox were more than a head. For some reason I processed it as some sort of predator severed head. (Now I see them as severed heads with spider legs, so that’s MUCH better.)
I mean, they also appear to have teeth without mouths, so pretty much any assumption would be fair.
