I don’t know how common the term “Eskimo Brother/Sister” is outside of the show “The League,” which is basically the only place I’ve ever heard it. I also don’t know if the term is, like just about everything these days,[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...

So, while waiting for Amazon to sort it’s shit out with Michael-Scott Earle, and we can finally get some new Star Justice and Tamer books, I’ve continued reading a bunch of other novels, and I came across one I really[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...

If it wasn’t clear, Sydney is trying to vet Frix. She doesn’t want to put herself in a situation where she does “stuff” with a guy, only to find out he’s a horrible womanizer, or unironically says “escape goat,” or is a racist, or doesn’t like Chris Claremont era X-Men. Not that she’s necessarily had […]

So… yeah. Sydney doesn’t have a furry thing per se. >cough< She’s just been through a lot recently and is maybe realizing that life might be short, so when the cute (?) starship doctor is giving you some pretty clear signals, maybe explore that instead of being too self conscious to try new things. Sydney […]

One of Sydney’s unofficial powers is the ability to turn on a dime, emotionally speaking. She has big reactions and big swings. One might almost describe her as manic. Not manic depressive. Just manic. Not sure if that’s a thing, but it’s Syndey’s thing. I read something like 230 novels last year, (during my morning […]

I thought it would be fun doing a reverse harem setup on Cora’s ship. I mean, why not? Being friends with Dabbler has obviously rubbed off on her. I tried to come up with some varied body and face types for her crew, but one guy is a bit more muscular than the others, and […]

Fracture Station limits what cargo someone can load onto their ship, based on the ship’s home world technology and flight plan, but obviously that doesn’t stop people from flying wherever they like once they take off. The station’s policy is to maintain the technological hierarchical status quo, but ultimately, they don’t really care what you […]

I hadn’t quite planned on Cora’s hard light projector being able to extend that far, because on top of giving her fairly broad disguise and shapeshifting powers, (on top of being a bit of a combat monster already), having an 18′ range on hard light constructs kind of turns her into a mini color accurate […]

So when I thought of Cora, like, I don’t know, 20 years ago, she had cybernetic limbs. She had them up until a few months before I put her in the comic, when I came up with the idea to replace her cybernetics with the hard light stuff. It seemed cool and more futuristic (and […]

Okay, so obviously the site is broken at the moment. I tried to update the page to be HTTPS compliant and for some reason that jacked up the CSS, sooooo, yeah. I’m working on it. Part of trying to fix it involved rolling back the database a bit which might have nixed a few hours […]

See, the Hack Buddy incident started off as Cora actually wanting to be able dance better, but due to a series of humorous misunderstandings, the controller wound up in the wrong hands, and there was a big long line to dance with Cora, and everyone had to take a number like in a deli. No […]

So presumably what happened during the fight was Sydney quickly put up her shield, but before she could figure out her next move, Cora shot one of the muggers with her Flay Thrower. Yeah, you read that right. Then Sydney spent the next thirty seconds trying to figure out if her bubble had a windshield […]

Merry Christmas Eve to those of you celebrating the holiday. Merry “you probably have at least part of the week off anyway” to those of you who don’t. And Merry double overtime to those of you in category 3. I think the idea that the guy is sent to mine something insubstantial is funnier than […]

Sydney’s comment at the beginning of this page is mostly just me recognizing that this conversation has taken place across a number of backgrounds, and it sort of looks like they’ve walked halfway across a city by now. I haven’t decided if Cora is running an errand on the way back to her ship or […]

Sydney is one of those heroes who will probably wind up saving the world on the reg, but there is a price to be paid among the inhabitants. In the form of general collateral damage and surviving groan inducing puns. Do starships have horns? Like, if they’re in the atmosphere, do they have some kind […]

I wanted that final panel to look like a soft-R-rated… basically an orgy, but work safe, cause it’s not that kind of a comic. As usual, my imagination far exceeded the time needed to draw such a thing, so I started adding confetti and balloons in the background to make it look a little crazier. […]

Well that’s gratitude for ya. But it’s also… kind of unsurprising really. Also, if you’re at a giant space airport, you gotta pick up some souvenirs, right? It would be embarrassing to return home from your lost in space journey without knickknacks for the team. Sydney does make a good point about not really needing […]

I hope that top panel is legible. I didn’t want to try and typeset all that text so I hand wrote it. While my handwriting is kind of neat… not like, 18th century calligrapher neat, granted, but usually it’s pretty legible – though some of the lettering size is a little inconsistent. I’ll make the […]
