An earlier version, with coloring assistance by Miles, Age 4 (not my nephew). Despite the Pollockian flair, editorial sent it back for revision.

    Yep. Martina is definitely becoming a favorite here. I love that final-panel eyeroll.

    “….editorial sent it back for revision.”

    Ach! Editors! What soulless cogs in the corporate machine! Unable to discern the subtleties of the clash of colors as a metaphor for the clash of desires in our own lives, superimposed upon the upcoming clash of right vs. wrong, good vs. evil, freedom vs –

    Wait. He’s 4?

    Oh. Well. Hmmrph… carry on.

    What kind of pens was he using? I like the colors.

    And, yes, Martina definitely has wit! Other nice ones in this strip: The gleeful, orange slave master tossing coins in the air; the fish alien’s dramatic gesture to the lofty heights of nobility; and the Dee-creature thinking that Emily is Ted.

    I love the ecstatic alien celebrating his enslavement of the Eebs.

    Now there’s a plan. Note the absence of adjectives.

    Just a wacom tablet, Nick. A computer pen, acts like a pressure sensitive mouse.

    That’s because I modeled it after you, Kevin. :)
