Things are not looking too good for Luke's childhood pal Biggs today. Did I mention several (thousand) times already that Gabby, Johnny and I met him? Ah yes, I think I did mention many times that we met him. Great bloke. He's done his Star Wars homework too - knows his stuff. One of these days I'll actually write that proper blog post about it - before I forget the entire conversation.

Art Notes

You could be forgiven for thinking that Biggs in the last panel, is actually the late Porkins. I'm putting Biggs' sudden weight-gain down to extreme stress.

I'm getting a wee bit bored with these 1982 or '83 pages now, but thankfully the next will be an earlier one. Earlier, but tweaked and coloured sometime later - with terrific results. In fact I have to say, it makes the hairs on my forearms and neck stand on end: it's got the emotional tingle factor!

I'll look forawrd to reading what you think of it.

Update Schedule

I said on Facebook and Twitter the other day that I HATE this new twice weekly publishing arrangement. My time is so limited now that I thought it was necessary to cut back. It probably is. But I'm not sure I can stick it out. It's Saturday night as I type this and it doesn't have to go live until Tuesday. I just need the creative fix. I might revert to Mon-Tues-Fri until the comic finishes. Though, that'll mean it comes to an end sooner and way before Christmas.

On the other hand, I could get my fix by advancing the other projects in tandem. That'd either be the ALIEN adaptation or 'img': a webcomic set in the world of webdesign and big business and psychopathy.

Thanks for reading! Please leave a comment below ;-)

Well, did we actually SEE him die? Did brains splatter cockpits? Maybe he'll show again in the shower? It was aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa all just a dream Luke.

I'd better do the ALIEN comic then - or he'll top himself!

I think I can keep it together Neil, my buddies Jack (Daniels), Jim (Beam) and Johnny (Walker) will get me through the hard times. :sad:

Month of therapy after he kicked off in BMS, and now this! :cry:

John, just tell me Kane makes it in Alien age 11 right? :eek:

I mean face huggers are not all that dangerous are they? :sigh:

Funny you should ask about Kane. Because the characters and faces are so mixed-up and (frankly) unrecognisible, it's quite possible that the person who gets burst at the dinner table isn't actually Kane at all - but rather some poor film crew member or passing caterer.

I still want the classic Kenner ALIEN toy, but I can't find a good one for under $500.oo. :sad:

Maybe I could sell a kidney, or something, I have 2. :sigh:

Cough - splutter - FIVE HUNDRED?!?!

But 1 kidney and 1 ALIEN toy sounds like a pretty good balance.
