Hello new readers! It’s been a hugely busy couple of days here, and I apologize for the sometimes slow website loading, it was because a lot of traffic was passing through (but my web garthim, Corey, kept it running because he is AWESOME). Which brings me to: thank you to Scott Kurtz of PVP, Chris Hastings of Dr. McNinja (and now writer for Deadpool), Jon Rosenberg of Scenes From a Multiverse and Goats, and Dave Kellett of Drive and Sheldon for talking up Spacetrawler and Spacetrawler Book#1. Every dog has it’s day and this day is mine. Thank you all! I am now going to buy myself a cookie.
As you can see, in the right-hand column there is a link for “new readers” (although the twice-weekly archive is only a little over a year old, so I suggest starting at the beginning). To help support me, my online TopatoCo store, original artwork for each strip is for sale (underneath each strip, along with a link to what the original sepia-colored artwork looks like), or by donation. This is my full-time job (plus freelance work), so it all helps put food on my table.
Enjoy the strip!
best,
-Christopher
Love the strip, got linked yesterday from PVP and read through your archive. Gonna buy a book, just wanted to say great work and +1 reader!
Thanks, @djpj! 🙂
A web garthim? I want a web garthim! Where do I get MY web garthim?
(Just watched Dark Crystal again a month ago. Still rocks!)
PS Since you deny me new merch that’s actually related to Spacetrawler, I have given in and bought a copy of the Book 1.
Got linked to you via… AArgh cant remember PVP?
Anyway binged on your archive most awesome.
I need to get back to work but on mystery remains…
Recipe for the limbic fizzler! Miserable failure that i am i completely managed to miss it.
Please please please with cherries and sprinkles can you post a permalink to it somewhere?
Somewhere obvious? Like where I am likley to be able to find it? In the dark? Drunk?
Thanks!
Is it too nerdy of me to admit that I long for a plush Eeb of my own to order around? (merchandising hint, hint, hint…)
Uh oh. Are they going to bring in Yuri to carry him? *DON DON DON*
@Sardtok: Nah, that’s what antigrav units are for!
Also got linked from PVP… wow, this is an awesome strip and story. I’m sad that I read through all of the archive already!
Oh, and I agree with Matt, an Eeb plushy would be awesome!
And if a plushy Eeb isn’t possible, I’d settle for one of their stylish coats (to go with my Firefly Capt’n “Tightpants” Malcom Reynolds leather duster).
Mal: “Well, look at this! Appears we got here just in the nick of time. Whaddya suppose that makes us?”
Zoe: “Big damn heroes, sir.”
Mal: “Ain’t we just!”
@Minion, the AFK Tavern in Everett, WA has a Limbic Fizzler, which is awesome. But the actual galactic recipe is unknown on earth. I may try to communicate with the stars and figure it out at some point. if I do, it’ll be posted here. 🙂
I would love to do plushies, but I’m afraid they’re a bit down the line in the realm of possiblity.
God, Martina is awesome
I’m the same as djpj except I got linked today. Great site and great comic. Will be returning on Monday
I imagine people jumping into the way of weapons fire for her is something of a sore spot.
Once you get your live action Spacetrawler optioned, the plushies will come, and I’ll be in line for one!
I can’t wait for Spacetrawler to blow the hell up and get freakin’ huge so I can get my hands on an Eeb plushie.
Oh and I’ve invited my friends and aqquaintances over and over from Facebook and the likes, hope the increase in traffic helps.
They had to put magnetic boots and gloves on because they are in zero gravity, right?
So then why is Gurf’s weight an issue?
And how did the eebs fall?
Found you Monday through Scenes From A Multiverse. Maybe I can arrange it later so you dump some so you can borrow some of my bandwidth 🙂 Who’s your site host?
Meh! That next to last sentence was definitely a sign I was still waking up and hadn’t had my coffee! But I have carried online strips for people in the past. I don’t need to carry the strips themselves, but you can offload some of your elements onto me. Not much, but being self-employed too my cash flow can into to the serious suck levels as you know.
@digsafe: no, they had to put on magnetic boots and gloves because they were hiding on the ceiling.
@digsafe, they’re on a planet, so there is gravity.
@digsafe, @b & @JKCarrolll are right on that one.
@Basketcasesoftware, thank you! So kind of you to offer. But I’m okay. A bit slow in the last few days of traffic spike, understandably, but all working fine and good. 🙂
cracking comic, just got linked from somewhere. seems like pvp or scenes from a multiverse are likely contenders, i read both. and now this. roll on sunday!
Kurtz sent me here and I read alllll of Spacetrawler today!
;D
New recruit reporting for duty as well… Awesome storytelling, Christopher! Love the art, too 🙂
I’m certainly going to recommend your site to friends.
Well the is a coincidence. I wasn’t linked from anywhere. I read Little Dee, and then I realised that you also wrote this. Wow Christopher, I’m really impressed. I’ll definitely be sticking around.
Finally finished reading through archives. I read comments as well, so took… maybe 16 hours since 3:00 pm yesterday. Linked by PvP. Going to rest now.
Got here from Drive! and love your work.
w00t!
Limbic fizzler yippee!
Limbic Fizzler
Absolut Pear and Ginger Ale with a sugar cube.
That actually sounds pretty neat.
Also love the recipe for
Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster
151, gin, tequila, triple sec, blue curacao, grenadine, bitters and sprite.
Needs a slice of lemon. And some gold dust 🙂
I would love to come visit if it wasnt like on the other side of the planet.
While on the subject of drinks inspired by fiction, you ought to try a Blue Melissa. It first appeared in the comic my name links to, and the recipe is somewhere in the forum.
(And yes, that is also a sneaky way to get more readers…)
«You two?» Ouch… Yuri is not the only one with issues.
Oops, in panel 9 Emily loses her navel. But it returns soon enough. Considering how athletic she is it is good she keeps so much skin exposed to bleed off excess heat.
Thanks, @Night-Gaunt, fixed!
