Commentary
for August 18, 2022:
Fun fact, those
ships in the first panel are very minor edits to a ship sprite I
first created in 2005. If it ain’t broke and all that.
Anyway, you might have been wondering why this chapter started with
Sally winning the election and then cut to three pages of unrelated
shenanigans on Angel Island. And I might reply that, if this were a
story like Game of Thrones, there might be multiple
seasons of seemingly unrelated narrative threads going on at the
same time that only really come together towards the end. But as
much as invoke it, this isn’t Game of Thrones, and the two
narrative threads of this chapter are about to come together.
Now this particular scene, as well as the previous one on Angel
Island all originally took place in Eon’s Comic #151, whereas the
election result happened in #150. Multiples of fifty are often
treated as milestones in comics, but I don’t remember if calling the
election result on that particular page was deliberate or not. I know I
tried to do something special for every hundredth page and I
definitely treated #50 as a milestone, but I didn’t really do
anything special with #250, #350, #450, etc. So I really couldn’t
tell you now if that was planned or just serendipity. In any case,
Chapter 42 is not a special number. Yes, I know it is the Answer, it is also
my lucky number (and not because it is the Answer, but for more
obscure reasons), but it’s not really a milestone.
Chapter 50, on the other hand...
Oh yes, I should
be remiss if I failed to mention the new Bunnie Rabbot sprites
making their debut on this page. Yes, even after making a whole set
of fancy new sprites for her specially for this season, I have
already made new ones. But then, I did make that first new set
nearly two years ago now, shortly after wrapping up season 2. You
can learn a lot in two years (especially two years spent mostly
making new sprites). |
