Had not considered that first option, though either of those sound good to me.

Man, we are never going to get to Prom shenanigans at this rate. 
(And I say that as someone who’s absorbing at least as much time as anyone else in our away-from-school shenanigans.)

I dunno. Having Alycia away from Earth, the pale blue dot on which her father did so much awfulness - letting her see the vastness and majesty of the cosmos itself, realizing how much larger everything is than any human ever dared dream - probably boosts Jason’s prom chances by like 7.

If only so that she can neener-neener that she’s actually made it into interstellar space before he did, “HA!”

Oh right, prom shenanigans. I’ve had ideas about that particular event…

Yeah, I didn’t know if I wanted to make it match the coat or to reuse the belt design. Belt design won (since the only other place I was planning on using the bands was with the shoes). Also, this was a fun 20-30 minute illustration to try out some new design elements (like the connected constellations in the star background that help imply shape–thanks Bill!).

The “Dammit Jason” swear jar deserves to be canon. Next time I draw something at Quill HQ, I’m putting that in the background somewhere.

I’m taking a lot of liberties with Dave’s suggestions.

I fully support this conceit.
(My family has started using this phrase whenever I’m be ridiculous. It’s remarkably effective.

What really aggravates Alycia about the Newmans.

I ran dry on ideas for an “in your face” gesture I could easily animate, but technically it was super easy to do. Duplicate the comic, change the last pose, throw both images at GIMP and export as animation. I might try a one-panel multi-frame experiment soon. It won’t look 1% as good as Mike’s hand-drawn stuff, but I do what I can with the skills I have.

Alycia Banzai.
Both lovely – thanks!

Bill, I really wanted to say I’ve been enjoying these comics and appreciated what you’ve done with the constrained format in a storytelling perspective (4 panel strips are always favorite of mine, especially over the more common 3 panel strips and I could talk all day about the differences which that choice makes as far as pacing and structure are concerned). Thanks for all the work you’ve put into these (and I look forward to future ones too).

If people are enjoying the comics and find them entertaining, that’s all I ask I personally feel like I’ve got a good grasp of humor in the four-panel format, and it’s nice to hear feedback on that.
