Comic for Monday, April 27th
Just to be perfectly clear, they are communicating, but there is nothing verbally spoken. This should probably be a pretty good hint to what isn’t really a secret anymore that they are very least slightly more than vanilla human.
Additionally it should be noted these forms of communication happens extremely fast, it is not merely a telepathic conversation.
Both of these characters are among my favorite to write, writing them talking to each other entertains me. It depresses me how little screen time either of them have had. It’s weird to think that there are still less than a hundred pages. We’ll see if we can’t release more bonus pages once the buffer is intact (though there will be no bonus page per patreon at the end of this month on account of the shoulder thing).
As Patreons know, I do a fan art for other comics, two pieces were posted recently:
Over on Data Chasers there is drawing of one of their characters Acantha:

Over on Luna Star there is a drawing of one of their characters Galina:

The are both pretty interesting sci-fi comics done in a 3d model style that’s pretty different from the digital doodling I do 😀
These pieces were suggested for fan art by a Patreon. I like doing fan art as art practice; I post ’em them on Patreon at the cheapest tier and usually link ’em here in comments when/if the owner of the character posts it on their site for everyone.

Um, it took me quite a while to find the page on which Myer called Mium a prototype, so if I might, I’d like to request an archive, if you could install one. I’m pretty sure I could really use it in the not-too-distant future. ^^
I’ll look into it, but no promises quite yet. I tried once before and it didn’t quite work. While I am software engineer, I’m the wrong kind for web development stuff.
Currently my time toward the comic is still a little limited, but I will try to make some site improvements soon. I agree that as we start getting close to a hundred pages it becomes less excusable to not have an archive.
A split difference I may do is make a drop down story selector and than break down the chapters into 5-10 page blocks. I know how to do that, though it’d take a little doing (as I’d have to reclassify the chapter setting for all the pages).
I know I’m asking a lot, but anything that lets people skip either directly to or very near the desired page would be very much appreciated. 🙂
No, you’re right, it’s something I need to do. Previously it was pretty easy to just skip back to what you wanted to see, it is getting longer and that’s really not a viable strategy anymore.
Ooh, electronic frustration is fairly crackling in Ila’s eyes. How dare Mium fail to acknowledge her superiority? As for what they are, Jayce Myer identified Mium as a “prototype” back on the Feb 16 page, although I’m willing to bet that Mium is no longer in “stock” condition, and has been modded, augmented and overclocked considerably. ^^
Mium also seems to have a more well-developed personality to the point of being sentient. This whole interchange has me speculating on Mium’s origin……
On the more pleasant side, if he is able to defeat Ila’s attempt to co-opt him, Dr. Mir is liable to blow a capacitor when she learns of it. ^^
I was thinking about it, and really, fighting someone is just a calculation of who has better stats with some environmental variables thrown in, just a destructive, messy, and really inefficient way to do; if you just do the math you can skip that part. Somehow it never works out that way I’m guessing…
It’s all about hope. The old “David and Golliath” matchup had all the stats favoring Golliath. Nobody figured on David being able to hit Golliath in basically his only vulnerable spot. Every underdog hopes for a break like that. 🙂
In this case, I’m pretty sure that Mium knows something that Ila doesn’t. 😀
