I wasn’t sure what to have Vale watching there on the screen for a while, I went back and forth between something metal like the club scene from Blade 2 or Hellraiser, but that felt a little predictable. Of course, having her watching a cutesy cartoon is nearly as predictable as it’s a straight reversal of the trope. Maybe I should have had her watching something super brain dead like The Bachelorette or a daytime soap, but then a lot of you would have been all “anyone know what she’s watching?”

If you’ve never heard of a solar updraft tower, they’re a pretty cool ideal. I have a wikipedia link there for you, but the short version is, build a hollow tower, the taller the better, like 500-1000 meters, and since the upper atmosphere is always cooler than the lower atmosphere, even at night, wind travels up the tower, since heat rises. Put some wind turbines in there, and you have constant power. To make it more efficient, put a huge greenhouse at the base to really collect the hot air, and we’re talking about something in the order of 1/10th of the Hoover Dam’s output.

You can even use some of the greenhouse space as an actual greenhouse, of course, you’d have to shield most of the plants from the constant wind, so you lose efficiency there.

The point is, I wonder what Deus is planning on doing with the Skybreaker and a ton of power?

Edit: Wow, I had no idea Teen Titans Go was so reviled. Maybe I’ll swap the screen out with something else. On the other hand, she is a bad guy(?).

The vote incentive is updated! I have another mock cover I painted, but I’ll give you guys a break from that stuff and put up a portrait of Max. Mostly just painting practice. I think it turned out pretty good, but it’s still not… there. But it’s an improvement, and that’s the important part. For some reason I like drawing Max wearing t-shirts she would probably never actually wear. Maybe on laundry day, but never around the base or the press.

I honestly can’t remember if I was purposefully writing Joyce as a little insufferable here or if I was still “in it” enough, so to speak, to think she was saying true things that needed to be said.  That weird gray period, man, between Fundamentalism and WhoTheEffCaresism.

Hey folks, just a quick update, the X-rays didn’t show any kidney stones, but the doctor said that that isn’t 100% conclusive.  While the original test showed that there wasn’t an infection, I’m still waiting on the other test results for any abnormal stuff and whatnot.  The one good thing so far is that there’s no more bleeding *knocks on wood* but I probably won’t get the results until at least Tuesday.  With that out of the way, I’ve been thinking that I will change the schedule up until my shoulder is back to better so you all have a more reliable reading schedule from me.  For the foreseeable future, I’ll be going back to a M-W-F schedule, but with the fully digital format, I can include more per panel and keep things moving.  Starting this Wednesday, Wapsi will be on that new schedule.

Thank you all for your continued support and kind emails.  I’ll continue to put original art up on Ebay as often as I can, and please feel free to stop by and add me on Facebook to keep in touch.

Walky and Joyce’s adjustment had a Rule.  The only thing that changed was whether they were a boy or a girl.  They were both still heterosexual, and so now Joyce (the boy) is into girls and Walky (the girl) is into guys.  Added to the list of things that didn’t change, now that I, uh, understand things better, is that they’re both still cisgender.  I mean, at the time, the real reason is that I was operating under some strong-ass misconceptions about gender vs parts, but right now let’s assume that extra bit as well, retroactively.

Anyway you can tell that Walky used to be a guy like five minutes ago because he’s talking about his boobs like he’s a female protagonist written by a dude novelist.
