Techno Zombies

Man, this is the ultimate example of a storyline that got out of my hands fast. This twitter thing started off as a one-off gag joke, and I thought I could get one, maybe two strips of twitter jokes. Then it turned into a whole storyline, about borg techno zombies. I’m not sure where this story is coming from, perhaps the sheer amounts of raw science fiction that I consume on a regular basis. Somewhere between Philip K. Dick and Star Trek I found a funny little niche to have fun in with this story. And it’s pushing me art-wise too, I think.

Enough about that, suffice to say, I hope you guys are enjoying this story as much as I’m having fun making it. Oh, and extra points if you can name what Sandy was quoting in Wednesday’s strip. Good luck, though, it’s kindof obscure.

In other news, I spent a few days in New York this week, having never seen the city before. It was awesome, but now I have that feeling that you get at the end of a vacation where you feel so exhausted from the vacation itself. Good thing I have a few more days off before I have to go back to the grind. Till then, peace out ya’ll!

[note: don't say "ya'll" in NYC unless you're prepared to get confused looks.]

    The end of “… Electrical Sheep?”

    Awesome! And the No-Prize has been claimed! It is indeed a quote from Philip K. Dick’s classic “Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep,” which was adapted into the film “Blade Runner.” Congratulations!

    Twitter possesses a less than stellar quality.

    However, I am enjoying this story. Today’s art looks really good! Well done, Mike.
