Comic for Monday, November 23rd
What’s this? A comic that’s more or less on time*? Astounding! “It’s only time because you had an extra day between Friday’s update and Monday’s update” you say? – shush you.
*I mean, on time for update schedule; it wasn’t up early for backers… we’ll get back to that next month! Sorry 🙁
Anyway… while it’s been in-fashion recently for me to complain about my drawing equipment, lets be honest here, I can’t draw cars at the best of times 😛
One of the challenging things about making this story a comic… I suppose it’s because I’m not really familiar with writing, but to me the story exists as a continuous string of events – unfortunately there is really no way to show every scene – not only would the comic move very slowly, a lot of things that happen are simply pretty boring 😛
So I try to play the highlight reel while making it make as much sense as possible. But it leads to so many questions in my mind – where did Peter get the car, considering he appeared to commute to school on a subway? Is he driving car with a computer mouse? Why is he driving on the wrong side of the road?? Why do half the cars look somewhat normal and the other half the cars look semi-futuristic?! There is whole encyclopedias of information being skipped here.
My solution is to try to backfill as many of these questions (well, at least the ones that moderately interesting) during more interesting applications of the answers eventually, but it does require some patience 😛
Perhaps Wednesday we’ll at least figure out where our Missing Mium is? Who knows!

So how does he know the internet hasn’t just gone down? Also, I thought that was rule #4, not #3?
This is a little fuzzy and to be honest I may have swapped them somewhere, but to outline them here briefly:
His third and fourth are different restrictions. I don’t really think they’ve been specified yet, but the third prevents him from having two instances running independently (ie; they need to be synced or he needs to shut down one – the reason for this will show up eventually I’m sure 😉 ) ; the fourth prevents him from taking over certain things (which will be specified in greater detail later 😉 ).
As for the internet; that’s more or less what’s being said; that the connection to Mium was lost, and likely that Mium wasn’t destroyed, as he’d likely have remained active on him the computer system if the prototype was lost and not merely the connection interrupted.
I’ts your world, and your cars. Make them look like whatever you want. If something looks inconsistent, why, it’s just a different make or model, or it’s an import from a place where they make cars that look like that. Practice the art of looking critics in the eye, and saying, “So?”. ^^
For all the trouble you’ve been having using your Surface, this is a pretty impressive page. 🙂
Well, I know why they are all different, but I’m just complaining that I don’t get to explain random details like that in the comic form 😛 I’ll find an excuse to go through Malsa’s recent history sooner or later 😀
Realistically beyond the odd troll here and there I reckon I’m the harshest critic I encounter on my own comic, so I guess I’d need to start that practice with a mirror 😛
