Five minutes pass...
And the catship runs off after the missile, the end.

Well putting that simple little thing together and posting it was surprisingly tedious. Experimented with a few different styles and I think I like the last one best, wherein space itself is not colored in at all and its just my original drawings colored in.
And bonus link that should excite you all as much as it did me, while searching the galaxy for inspiration I discovered all the Calvin and Hobbes Spaceman Spiff comics can be found here. They are pretty much the best thing ever (and a window into my mind).

Date: 2013-02-15 12:13 am (UTC)I love the Spaceman Spiff cartoons! My favorite is the one that devolves into "Where.Time.Has.No.MEANING!!!" aka, "Man, this class lasts forever" (I used that once to describe a 5-day training class that was mostly useless and also slowwwww). And anything where the teacher in the polka-dot dress becomes an alien is up there too. :)

I really wish he'd done at least one more ore less complete Spaceman Spiff story arc, I'm sure he could have come up with some real world occurances to underpin it.
