Psu: We watch a lot of Star Trek.
Gunwild: I really do like this cover. But I don't think either of us really likes Star Trek: The Motion Picture.

I, Gunwild (although nominally the writer of this comic, and the one who writes the scripts) fully admit that this arc was largely made up of ideas that originated with Psu.
However, having that dri...

This is an alternative version of the 1/23/2017 update with all the same dialogue, but the addition of Beebot's "internal monologue" of sorts. It was decided that there wasn't really room to fit it co...

Gunwild: Probably people reading this can determine that Cassiopeia is Lum from Urusei Yatsura. Zeke's costume is a bit subtler, what with him not having a face.

After a little hiccup in production, Cassiopeia Quinn is back with a mission: to MAKE YOU SAD.

Hopefully nobody missed it, but before the holiday's over, be sure to check out this Christmassy update. It's a little unhappy... but please, keep your hope for Beebot strong!
Psu: Can I start the commentary just saying I'm feeling under the weather?

As we sometimes like to do, we're teasing the next story's introduction of a new character with a cool magazine cover mockup and an extra-polished piece of art. But what's this Regency commander lady ...
