I can’t think of anything more to write about the Portland Stumptown Comic Fest, except that I had a lovely time. My friend, Indigo Kelleigh, who organizes the fest was interviewed on Outlook Portland, which you can watch on Youtube, pretty cool.
Also, Danielle has some sweet cards up on her site, for when you’ve screwed up. “I sowwy!”
Hope all is well with everyone. I’ve been very busy working hard, but it’s spring, and I’m feeling good and in a much better mind-frame than Pierrot. Whoot! :)
Whoot!
I do like the way Krep warded off Pierrot’s gratitude at the end.
And Pottybot’s excitement when Pierrot said he’d hold it was hilarious. As was his crushing disappointment in the next panel.
Finally, a space skirt matching to common space suits. That is so wonderful.
Love love LOVE Kreps spacesuit. Also panel 8. I can feel her hopefullness mixed with his resignment.
Finally a space suit suitable for Amish and Victorian Women. Hazzah!
Pottybot’s Surprise Face should be it’s own image macro. those kids todays love image memes.
Why do I have a sense of foreboding that she’s staying with Dustin? I feel it has much potential to end poorly.
@Mike, bwah-hah-hah-hah-hah-hah-hah!!!! (not admitting to any future stories, but reveling in the fact that my readers find me so evil)
@Mummpizz and McGee, but we get to see her ankles!
(By the way, why does she need to suit up her arms and not legs?)
(@Filipe, she also has suited up legs, only with a matching skirt)
The pinkish think we see coming from the skirt in panel 14 looked like skin color.
@Filipe, fair enough. Thanks you for the comment. When I get a chance, I’ll dig back in and put a bit of white on her foot. 🙂
I think I’ve seen those warning broadcasts. Mihrrgoot Manor is my favorite show on Glathsrea Planet. 😉
Mr. Baldwin I have to say this is one of the greatest comics ever, not just webcomics, comics full stop! Good work.
Yeah… she seems a little weak-willed. I wouldn’t be shocked if Dustin gets sprung and decides to leave Krep and Pierrot behind.
Spacesuits? Is the Glathsrean atmosphere unbreathable, or just really, really smelly?
Also, how come they had spacesuits for the *ahem* unintended passenger?
@SeanK, heh, I really need to do a strip with some of their shows on the topic. 🙂
@Wakboth, thank you!!!
@Jordan, see “bwah-hah-hah-hah-hah-hah-hah!!!!” above. Heh.
@Frank, unbreathable. These spacesuits allow the wearers to smell their surroundings. Oh, and the operational parts of the suits (in the belt and helmet maybe?) are pre-made, but the suits themselves are an easy syth.
Nah, let her show her legs or is the atmosphere corrosive/radioactive? I was kind of expecting you to say those were her walking shoes.
At first look I thought the ship was floating on water. Do they have that capability?
The suit belt reminds me of Batman’s utility belt from the 1970’s cartoons. 😉
@Galane, not sure. If need be, I would say “likely.” Although maybe the “feet” of the ship would inflate flotation tubes around them.
Well,she lasted almost a whole minute…
She made it back to the ship pretty quickly too, as well! Also, Potty-bot reminds me (kinda) of a tapir, with that nose (nozzle?)
Well, unless Nogg pans back to the ship, it’s going to be there when they get back (if they get back, and don’t receive a message from Fiyena or the pottybot saying that Dustin escaped and commandeered the ship, in which case they’d probably have to hijack another vessel to get off-planet with Nogg). That, at least, is the usual outcome of this scenario (weak-willed, optimistic jailers keeping watch over villain-type prisoners while the cats are away).
Oh, I don’t know. If Dustin starts wooing Fiyenna (unlikely) he might pull a Dimitri and get her to let him out. As it stands, though, standing up to Dustin might be a way for her to prove her devotion to Pierrot. Especially since he’s already locked up.
I love all of your theories. <3
I don’t tthink so, JK. Remember what Dustin said about dating aliens…
@JKC: Even if he does get out, unless Christopher shows them escaping, it’s unlikely that he’ll take the ship out. It’s rare for heroes to come back and find their ship has gone without the audience seeing the ship leave first (“ship” referring to any means of transportation).
Amazing that none of the rest of the crew have taken to calling Dustin “Dustbin”…
