“Forward…To the Past!” Inks
Shaenon: Here’s the inked version of that page from the Skin Horse 6 bonus story. Jeff’s script called for increasingly jam-packed background collages of 1980s detritus, and I went noooooope and drew Trapper Keeper patterns instead.
Channing: Hey, now. I did describe the base background and preface the extra stuff with an “if you see fit,” so I totally gave you an out!
I will admit that this may be a bit like me saying “if you see fit, ram your head into a doorknob twelve times.” But at least I’m owning my authorial evil and recognizing the possibility of something being too much. Taken me like, what, eight years?
One thing that hasn’t gone away over eight years is my delight at seeing my words become pictures drawn by Shaenon. I am a lucky boy.
I am *so* looking forward to seeing this!
“auhorial evil “? Authorial?
The Shadow Government denies that the typo you mention ever happened.
I deny that my previous post ever happened. Furthermore, these aren’t the droids you’re looking for…
A lot of hits for “auhorial” on Google, especially in literary reviews. Must be a word.
“Auctorial” evil—with a “c”—even if spell check insists it’s misspelled…
I worked for a pension plan company back in the ’80s, it was my first real IT job. I assure you: actuarial evil is real.
Actually?
The rules of time travel:
1. The universe has subtle ways of clubbing one over the head with a
telephone pole-sized rail of depleted uranium.
2. Time travel accidents are common.
3. There are no accidents.
Wait is this the same character from Narbonic that was sent forwards in time via Quantum souflee? If so nice work on the contiuity, even if it has taken a while to remember that paticular point.
It is! It is that same person. 🙂
Oh, god. I love Imogene so much. I hope we get to see more of her in the main storyline.
That’s gotta be a Teddy Ruxbin in the last panel.
Wow, she really is incredibly cute in this one.
