What a revoltin' development!

I can't wait to learn about Christopher...

I love this comic.

Do you think you'll print it ever? I'd enjoy holding a book form. I'm content as is though.

I will be looking for publishers early next year in France , the UK and the USA.

I have an idea to do a deluxe, signed,numbered, limited run hardcover edition. Each one with a sketch in it. I dunno if there's enough of a demand for that. It would be expensive.

So, I guess Lilly got all the good genes, huh?

I was surprised to see a Jabba the Hutt reference. What year is this? People still dig Star Wars? It must be in some quaint, ironic fashion, huh?

In 100 years time they still watch old movies. Especially George Lucas' Re-Imagineered 3D immersive version. Where YOU really ARE not the droids they are looking for.

Glad to see Star Wars is still well known in the (distant?) future.

Hope they have some clothes for poor Cos too. He's not as used to being nekkid as Lilly, methinks...

Nakedness is very much an attitude of mind. Some folk are good at it.

You know how Extras sometimes become so interesting that they get speaking parts?
I've a feeling that these guys might get some lines later on.

I agree it's only so long you can converse with your naked sister. Great developments, keep 'em comin'!

I'm guessing this twinship is of the fraternal, rather than identical, variety.

Of course, there's always that "nurture vs. nature" explanation.

I think by definition boy/girl twins can't be identical.
Having said that Lilly and Chris DID look a bit more identical when they were younger.

-Hi.
-Nice to meet you.

What else? Panel 3 has the best dialog ever in a situation like this.

Cooooool. Or as all he Scotsmen in my french (in the german version, of course) comicbooks always say: By Jove!
Posted by: Simon Fraser
01:08am / Aug 1, 2008
I don't think I've ever met a Scotsman who used the expression 'By Jove!' except maybe comic book characters from the 1950s.
Apparently we were at the same Mets/Phillies game last week. I need to get your cellphone number for the next time that suddenly happens to me.

I did meet an English person that said "pip pip, Cheerio" and in all sincerity. At first I thought I was trapped in a Twilight Zone ep. and was going to have to help Burgess Merideth find some new glasses or stop James Cobern from eating contaminated food, but no...it was real.

Lot of movie stars in my life. Dead mostly.

I do periodically use such Englishisms in a humorous manner. Cheerio is a lovely word too.

It's Heart of Darkness all over again?

Except in space...and with a naked chick... and a little guy with purple hair...and all that stuff....

I hadn't thought of that, but you're right.
'Lilly Mackenzie and the Mines of Charybdis' OR 'Heart of Darkness II... Lite '

Damn! I was hoping Lilly would stay naked for the rest of this chapter!

You get one more bare Ass then that's it.


..no wait, there might be another one at the end. Just for old times sake.

I hate to say it, but this is when sh*t starts getting interesting... which is saying a lot considering the levels of cool, funny, and awesome this comic already has.

Dammit, just post ten pages at a time, Simon. C'mon... you know you wanna!

I've got roughly 15 pages to tie all this up. I might let it breath a bit or have another splash page. The fact that I don't know this for sure yet is kind of exciting.

Did she date Murphy? Maybe she turned him down for a date that would explain why these things happen to her.

As always, the facial expressions in this comic are priceless. Everyone looks.....well....real.

Again, well done.

Great read, and for the record, since most everything else has been commented on, really nice colors, Gary!
