No comic next week.

Because I will have been out of town for 5 days by then. Them’s the breaks. I’d hoped to avoid this by cranking out these conversation grid pages faster than usual, but of course, the day I started on the first one, the computer went to crap. I feel that the last two pages have …

War Against The Machines.

An Introduction

Hi! You have been reading Closed Galaxy.  Unlike the original Comics from Space!, this is a somewhat serious, ongoing story. I’ve never made anything like this before, and I’m kind of teaching myself as I go. It’s been really strange figuring out how to write for this, and I’m the first to admit I’m not the best …
