#184 – This Just Got Personal
Timely-ish update, huzzah! And now, sufficiently dosed up on painkillers, I hobble off to bed. I hurt my toe. Owwie.

“Hooray,” I said, “the new rota means I get Thursday and Friday off work from now on; perfect for teh comicking.” That lasted exactly one week before folk going on holiday leaves me working both those days. Of course an organised and sensible person would simply do the majority of the comic earlier in the week.
If you meet such a person, tell em I said hi.
IOU one set of backgrounds.
Edit: Paid in full.
Comic’s done.
The temp image yesterday, I made for a new banner. Observe:
Hey kids, you know what time it is? Time for me to update the fucking fan art page for the first time since I can remember! Yay! Now everybody hug the giant purple dinosaur which is completely not a euphemism for anything at all and sing about “love.” That’s it, god kids.
Disturbing pseudo-psychological imagery aside, today I bring you a fan comic by Machete/XXDragon-FireXX. Don’t ask me why she she stuck a coupel of X’s before and after her name, that’s something you should ask her. Possibly after midnight over a webcam service on a site you have to pay for.
I’ve just been reminded that the Links page needs a huge clean-up. I’m sure there’s comics on there that haven’t been updated in years. Doesn’t mean I’m going to do it mind, just saying it should be done.
I’ve found the greatest piece of literature known to man. More coveted than the original bible, more controversial than the Da Vinci Code. The greatest piece of literature in the history of the universe. In fact words themselves were created just so this novel could be one day born! Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you…
Star Trek: The Next Generation & The X-men: Planet X!
Ok long story short, drove to Borders to see if they had the Serenity Graphic Novel, which they did, and then as I’m wandering round seeing if there’s anything else worth buying I spot this on the shelf for £4.99. I almost didn’t buy it…but relented. I mean honestly, how could I resist what is essentially canonical bad fan-fiction?
Basically, a planet that is allied with the Federation starts getting it’s own “mutants.” Just by sheer coincidence a few X-Men turn up on the Enterprise, apparantly already having met Picard and co before. And then they decide to go and help the planet wit this “mutant” crisis. Cue inavsion of planet by mysterious aliens somehow linked to it’s mutants. Oh and Picard is apparently falling in love with Storm.
Mental, isn’t it? Hmm, maybe it’ll be revealed that Picard himself is a mutant. Considering he was born in France, but reads Shakespeare, drinks Earl Grey and speaks perfect “proper English.” So he’s either a mutant, or a some kind of fraky “Space French.” It’s also implied that Storm and Picard spend the night with each other which is quite freaky because several times it is commented how much Picard and Xavier look like each other, and Xavier is basically Storm’s foster father…
SUPERHERO INCEST!
Well that took way longer than it should have. Sorry for the the delay, I didn’t think it’d be this late on Friday, otherwise I’d've put up a notice last night. I’ve been in a very distractable (I don’t think that’s a word) mood today… I am quite enjoying working on the comic these days though, so ‘tever.
Happy new solar orbital cycle.
