THE UPDATE WILL BE A LITTLE LATE. SHAWN’S COMPUTER DECIDED THAT IT’D LIKE TO JOIN IN ON THE ‘CURSE OF MISSINGNO’ AND NOT TURN ON.

Our update schedule says “Every Saturday Nite!” and we’ll do that, even if it kills us!  Unless we can’t.  I mean, there’s no use crying over spilled cow juice.  We still have an hour to go, Central!

So, in any case, here’s our update.  To be brutally honest, this is actually a “TOS” comic from before-reboot, moved forward in time and spiffed up to modern day standards.  It gave a nice “As I was saying” effect to the reboot comics, wouldn’t you say?

I’d like to give a shout out to Chris, our sprite artist, for the David sprite in the bottom left hand corner for the dialog box.

Also, a shout out to Blambot for providing some new fonts.  We’ve decided to use fonts with a slightly free-er hand, especially for non-dialog boxes, and Blambot has tons to choose from.  Thanks!

Also, you might notice that the Arwing in the bottom right is a little… off.  For some reason, we just couldn’t execute an “Arwing” and instead created… that.  We decided that recruits wouldn’t fly Arwings, they’d have a different style of craft just for themselves.  I jokingly called them “W-wings” due to the shape of the trailing edge, which Lee then termed the Dubyawing.  There we go, the Dubyawing.

In other site news, over the next couple of weeks we will be updating the Charadex with all kinds of new articles.  Hope you find them interesting.

One final thing:  Everyone else is doing special “All Hollows Eve” night updates.  We don’t do that kind of thing.  But sometimes we do randomly pull up sketches… like this one from Chris:

Not everyone enjoys opening doors to scary looking strangers.  Just sayin’.

See you guys next week!
