Wha–!?
Security Agent Captain Cassandra Quinn is on assignment to the mining outpost Luna Seven amid rumors of pirates near the outpost. On her approach to the complex, she saw something moving around on the surface of the moon that shouldn’t have been. During her attempts to verify her visual sighting, a mysterious ship blasted her out of the sky. Her story starts HERE.
Meanwhile, miner Simon Tripline is waking up and getting ready for his day while the morning news talks of Terraluna Universal’s plans to project their logo onto the moon, which has drawn protests. The news also mentions rumors of piracy surrounding the disappearance of a shipment of ore from Luna Seven. As Simon walks to work, he sees something strange through a porthole. Did he really see it? Or were his eyes playing tricks on him?
Nothing like a bit of coffee to clear the senses, but even that brings an irritant in the form of Vin Sinclair, who is evidently one of Luna Seven’s top performers on the drill. But is there a dark secret to his success? Simon’s story starts HERE.

Love that last panel!
Gah! Hmm…does Simon see the guy – I don’t think he does. Is he going to stow away perhaps?
Well… I don’t think he’s trapped in Og’s brain no more!
YEAH !!
The little guy again !
Or is it another one ?
Definitely not part of Simon’s imagination.
That panel is too important for it to be. I’m guessing this is headed towards the old sketches/doodles with the aliens and the moon crater.
By the way, I noticed the new comic navigation buttons the other day, they look really sleek.
Holy cow! Where is Ripley …I mean Cassandra when you need her.
Also, I’ve been meaning to ask: You mentioned you draw the strip by hand, do you do anything special to the line art when you bring it into the computer? Vectorize it? It just looks so clean.
Hee hee… thanks for the notes, everybody! Be sure to tune in on Friday when we’ll learn even more…
Sardtok – thanks for the note about the navigation doohickey. That is part of the latest release of ComicPress, which I would love to take credit for, but my buddy Frumph and his cohorts over at the ComicPress Society are the ones responsible for that great bit of programming, and Frumph himself helped me install the thing.
Matt – Sometimes I do vectorize my lines if I feel they are not working for me. I did so on this one, but I haven’t done it much for quite a few strips.
I wonder if a little Rogaine would thicken that tentacle hair up any…
Woop! Who dat? Who dat?!
Steve knows all the inside guys.
I know you, Matt… that’s pretty important!
