More Kickstarter Sketches
Shaenon: More sketches! Sweetheart and Unity are the most popular choices for sketches this time around. Last year it was Dr. Lee.
Channing: Poor Jonah. It’s the difference between having bad luck on a dice roll here and there and having bad luck on a dice roll while you’re actually in the character creation process.
Ooh, I think that last one’s mine! (It might not be, of course, but the filename and my request both specifically contain the word “peril”.)
I’m REALLY hoping we get to see more of Nera and Jonah. The ‘flash forwards’ at the end of the arc make me think of a Manga plot – glimpses of the future then the character trying NOT to screw up that glimpsed future.
I’ve been re-reading Narbonic and SH and taking notes (or was before I spilled my coffee on the notes – I blame the cats), and I’m fairly certain that Narbonic re-visited every named character, and the length of the arc (to me) implies there was WAY more to it than A) introducing how whacked Anasigma is; and B) providing more info on/reintroducing Sergio Mendoza. (His initial introduction was astonishingly brief.)
It’s V. Lee and the braaaaaaaain!
It’s V. Lee and the braaaaaaaain!
One is a genius— the other’s insaaaaaane!
She’s not a mad, it’s true
(she tells that lie to you)
They’re V. Lee/ They’re V. Lee and the brain, brain, brain, brain
brain, brain, brain, brain, braaaaaaaain!
Before this night is done,
She’ll action out her plan,
By the dawning of the sun,
She’ll take a helicopter’s heart /
and download in a maaaaaan!
It’s V. Lee and the braaaaaaaain!
It’s V. Lee and the braaaaaaaain!
Her twilight campaaaaaaign
Is easy to explaaaaaaaain
For all science’s sake
Skin Horse members she’ll make!
It’s V. Lee/ it’s V. Lee and the brain, brain, brain, brain
brain, brain, brain, brain
“Tip!”

I love the Third pic, it’s a great slice of life moment for my Kandy kluge.

I’m the smartest lady Shaenon drew,
So I’m featured in a sketch or two …
Reading to this fine young man
About the brain of Don-o-van!
Now I’m …
[CHORUS:]
Sittin’ on a vat with brain,
Claiming that I’m not insane!
Sittin’ on a vat with brain,
Chillin’ out …
The latest book got a Kick-Start,
So now Shaenon’s drawing bonus art …
Sweetheart and Unity,
And Jonah dying horribly!
But I’m just [repeat CHORUS]
You can get a sketch, you know,
If you pony up the dough!
Chris, Marcie, or Tigerlily,
Or even old Moustachio!
(I say!)
Each time that Shaenon draws,
Then the fans respond with loud applause!
She’ll draw your character
If you kindly send some bucks to her!
But I’m just [repeat CHORUS]
So, Jonah is a Classic Traveller character…
I read Donovan’s Brain when I was 7. This was not a good idea, and I recognized this at the time, but I couldn’t tear myself away.
