681 | Having a Look Around

Especially when they fail, hrm?

Thank you for all the generous extra updates recently!

It’s one of those “seal your own destiny (usu of destruction) by trying to preemptively avoid it” things.

It’s interesting to see happy Zap in clothes that fit. ;)

“It was a long time ago.” — Are we about to find out there’s an age difference between Zap and Reona?

Yeah…at first I was like, why is he smiling as he says “everyone died”? But then it makes sense when you think about how happy he must be every time he gets to be around Reona. : )

Yeah – especially as there were survivors…

But then again, people seem to say “everyone” when they really mean “the bulk of the population”.

Everyone*

*except three children preserved as genetic specimens.

GEnocide Force

It’s sad to see how Zap can accept all that. I’ll never look at his earlier goofiness the same again

Thanks for thanking!!

I draw a lot of callback stuff, specifically the hands-clasping type panels, and the upside-down introductions. I hope on a reread people start to notice the visual language a bit more. I did try to add some cohesive elements throughout!

Somewhere around 10000 years.

jeeze, what? I don’t even think the GEF has been around for that long.

Screw holes, places where screws had been. Take what you will out of it, I meant nothing innuendo-y if that’s what you’re “?”ing.

Oh always, floppy sleeves for the win. Maybe I shouldn’t admit how long I looked at the cover for this chapter saying “but they fit? What?”

Yeah, the clothes were always symbolic! He didn’t hit his role as captain before.

Okay, now I’m looking forward to the other character’s reactions to competent Zap. Especially the ones who only knew the floppy sleeve version. :)

So the “butts” comic. That’s how all my comics would go. All of them. All the time.

That would make considerably more sense. And the longer I look at this, the more convinced I am that my initial observation was incorrect.

Butts.

The statues all have really long hair. Maybe my theory about psychics getting their power from their hair isn’t as silly as I thought. If the people of Zap’s world hadn’t shaved their heads like their favorite musicians, the GEF wouldn’t have stood a chance against them. Maybe Zap cutting Gunner’s hair wasn’t just a symbolic gesture. Maybe Efrem was weak, ’cause he only had thick eyebrows. Maybe Zap was stronger, ’cause of his pointy hair. Maybe Gunner was strongest, ’cause he had long, flowing hair. Maybe the statues were a warning from the ancient psychics.
Maybe it’s just a “hairbrained” idea, and Pascalle just really likes long hair.

Best. Answer. Ever.

Perhaps, perhaps not. After all, if the stone that both were crafted from was taken from the same quarry, then surely both would be of a similar colour.

He loves her so much!

Besides, if you lock me in a room with a thousand monkeys and a typewriter for an infinite amount of time, I’m bound to come up with an infinite number of ideas that are just as bananas.

So why didn’t they occupy the place, then? Whenever you go to war, it’s because they have something you want, and you want it so bad that they all must die. So what was the point of this?
