More editorial thank yous. Kevin. It’s hard to say anything about Kevin without being sarcastic. I mean, he’s a great guy and I love him, it’s just that…. sarcasm, wit, and general joking is one of the foundation stones of our friendship. And so it was that I suffered his assistance. The bastard.
He’s also a great political cartoonist, as he has shown over the years with his comic In Contempt (which sadly is being soon retired) as well as general cartooning, which you can find in his comic Wanderlost (previously known as Sheldon) (and which has a nice new site design).
During development, I had several conversations with Kevin about Spacetrawler, I always enjoy brainstorming and kicking ideas around with him, even if half the ideas are presented because they are so terrible they make us both laugh. And then, after I had thumbnailed scripts (back in September), rather than a line-edit, Kevin read them thoroughly and provided feedback on general story and character, what themes and tones and personality worked or not, and bringing each one more into focus. Thanks, Kevin!
Why does Emily Taylor look like Daisy Kutter? Or why does Daisy Kutter look like Emily?
Hmmm. We’ve got a dreamer, an environmentalist, and a daredevil. I guess so long as he doesn’t get middle-management to represent Earth, we’re okay 🙂
One quip: took me a while to understand what was happening to the coyote in panel 8. Maybe if you’d added the bullet’s path, it would be clearer
I have a feeling Pierrot and Emily aren’t going to get along very well.
Also, panel 8 looks fine.
It is so awesome. Keep up the good work. I am just getting into some of your old material, and I think you are very talented.
It was a bit too far north for a Mexican standoff anyway… 😉
Emily looks like (good ole) Bruno in panel one!
Love the captain’s smile in the panel just-one-before-last. Great detail.

That panel with her driving off with one vespa, while leaving the other in flames, is hilarious.
