Gunwild: I didn't write the fourth wall being broken in the last panel, readers! Psu did it! It's not my fault!
Psu: /:3
Gunwild: I just wrote her smiling slyly 'cuz she's allowed to make a bit of a mess. But Psu made her look at you!
Psu: I'll take the blame. Anyway, this page was a fairly complicated one. But I think it shows a couple good decisions early on that are paying off, notably is the color temper...

You would not believe how many times Theira's number of fingers gets drawn wrong only to need correction.

Read the new Cassiopeia Quinn update, and also look at Punchyninja's art, he's a game design professional type guy and really nice to us!

Gunwild: Is it weird that my favorite thing in this comic is "The Good Cookies?" Because everyone understands the concept of "The Good Cookies," and so much of sci-fi and fantasy is just making the figurative literal.
Psu: I happen to like "Standard Human Lunch." But man, this one strip did a LOT for Cassiopeia's character. I know we sorta just drop it in the middle of some other stuff, but that's kinda what we do on holidays. It might be nice to make a...

We've got a guest update coming this week from our pal Punchy, who is delightful and you should go look at his art. He and I thought up this little scene together, and actually he's already done the colors, which I think you'll really be impressed by when you see it go up on the site!

Thanks a ton for continuing to supporting us, and don't forget to check out the pinup archive for all the past ones, too. You've earned 'em!

Y'all ever read that comic JLA: Tower of Babel where it turns out Batman has plans to take down each member of the Justice League? In case they turn evil or get mind-controlled or whatever?

Gunwild: And also, the alternate final panel:
Psu: I stand by the idea that it works just fine without the dialog. Plus it’s fun to do a page that doesn’t have any word balloons at all! ... whose idea were the stockings over the fireplace? That seems likely to damage them...
Gunwild: Luckily that worked because we came up with the...

This pinup concept was a success, but Psu and Brell decided against this pose. It won't be in the final product. But you can see it anyway!

Gunwild: Thanks to Theira I now also always think of it as the "Radical Speeder."
Psu: It's as good a name as any. Speaking of sweet rides, I think this is my second favorite ship in the entire series. The "Fast Attack Craft" is different than the Iphacrates (sp?) that they normally cruise with. But since I knew the shenanigans we wanted to get into in the next sequence, what with ramming buildings and blowing stuff up with missiles, I wanted this ship ...

I had actually written this one imagining the panels stacking vertically. But if we did that I guess the effect of the top two forming a kind of big shot of the room would be lost.
My family had an iMac DV that looked like that, back when they were new! It came with a DVD of A Bug's Life. High tech...

Gunwild: Y'all play Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance?
Psu: I did. I didn’t get very far because I kinda have a hard time when a game judges my style points. I think I was one of those kids who was upset at getting Bs for a long time...
Psu: ANYWAY. This page is pretty awesome I think. It was a lot of fun to draw and just the kind of stuff we never got to do a lot of since we did Cassiopeia Quinn instead of Minx’s comic....

Slight change in panel order here, Psu thought the pose that's now in the last panel was funnier.

Gunwild: Robutt.
Psu: Maaaaaaan, that blade tail is so cool. I like that we actually got a few people thinking she'd be a bad guy just cause of that awesome shot.
Gunwild: I was hoping they would! That's why it's a crinkley moment!
Psu: I've been saying shenanigans a lot, but I think that still applies here. Like, just look at the shenanigans chasing Cassiopeia. I think that's a samurai on some kind of hover...

It's been a while since we got to to a four-panel gag skit. A traditional 4koma is a thing to be aspired to, although differences in comedic timing and linguistic conventions make it hard to emulate that kind of manga in English - that's why American newspaper strips, for instance, are usually different. I'll keep trying, though - this time I read a whole bunch of them in a row to try and do write the joke with a more conventional Japanese-style last-panel punchline.
Well, you'll see wh...

"Psu, do you ever think that it's kind of cheating to have these in-universe actresses so you can draw the characters in suggestive positions without it really being them?"
"No. Now think of a dirty title for this exploitative movie."
"Okay. Uhh, 'Inside Her Guard' maybe?"
"Excellent."

Gunwild: This was sort of an underdeveloped idea in this story and that's my fault.
Psu: I sorta don't remember what we were going for. I remember needing to foreshadow Salt's ship and it would be a spooky Vanaa skull ship again. I also remember that we had to upload this page in black and white because I was really under pressure to get a page out. I ended up doing this page twice essentially, one where it was good enough in black and white to pu...

Someday we'll get Psu on the record about how having in-universe actors impersonating the cast members and doing things they would never do is definitely trying to have your cake and eat it too, when it comes to drawing.

Psu: And were back to our regularly scheduled programming.
Gunwild: This is a good bit, this is why we've gotta bring these cameo characters back. And I want a weapons-grade hammock!
Psu: We MUST'VE talked about this the last time right? How you have movie characters that are defined by just one good gag. Nowadays with an arc in our comic that speeds along, it's hard to imagine spending two pages on guest characters. But in the co...
