I was for Motor Minx wearing the suit Catra wore in She-Ra and the Princesses of Power that the internet liked so much, but Psu didn't go for it. I didn't think of the top hat on Eyebot, though, that's rad!

Psu: Brell says that about everything.
Brellom: It's true.
Psu: But I remember Brell complaining. I just don't remember what the complaints were about... I mean, I like it. I got to relax!

We figured that you guys might be busy the next couple of days, either handing out candy, eating candy, or running for your life from ravenous monsters. So here's the monthly pinup a couple days earlier than usual!
Gunwild: Oh, I think we both love this one.
Psu: Yes but which Alien movies do we both love?
Gunwild: Alien and Aliens... and that's it.
Psu: Yeah... that's kinda too bad isn't it. Well I think you like Batman vs Alien. Or someone likes Batman vs Alien... right? Anyway, I guess this is an opportunity to talk about Theira's unique physiology. Have we fully explained it in the comic, ever? I guess this is the longest explanation of how it's supposed to work, ...

Cassiopeia is scared because she's about to be expected to have a serious mature conversation, probably.

Gunwild: You'd think taking your car in for service and them topping off the wiper fluid would be free. But check the bill! They might charge you for it without even asking!
Psu: Man, I would guess that Maddy's just a little on edge. She must feel like she's on thin ice right now. And that's WITHOUT having to think about her officers reporting over her head.
Gunwild: Never mind that, how do we invest in a version of "deepfake" technology that allows people to hide that while they...

This Maddy-as-a-Star-Trek-the-Original-Series-crewman drawing is actually a pic by our sometimes coloring assistant (and always friend), Brellom! It looks a lot like a Psu drawing, huh? That's 'cuz Brell is good at art-makin'.

Psu: One of my favorite pages.
Gunwild: It can be hard when honestly the thing that would be most heartwarming for the audience is for the main character to adopt the cute orphans and be their mom and stuff, but that's just not in the cards for what we wanna do with the story. Hopefully this does a good job getting across that Cassiopeia's idea of "being there for them" is stealing nice stuff for them, but it's very heartfelt!

Gunwild: Concepts for the recent "spooktober" pinup.
Psu: Oh yeah! Uh we should totally be drawing more random costumes. We have a couple in store but we should have some new ones. I know that this is technically a little more "dressed" than the other pinups have been but I just thought it was cool to do. I wanted to stay true-er to the Vampire Hunter D idea than anything else.
Gunwild: Yes, Yoshitaka Amano was on your mind for some reason. Why was that...?

Behold, the dreaded nine-panel grid. I am about to get boringly technical, so only read on if you care about such things.
Nine panels is a big number for any one page - you're essentially asking the artist to do nine separate detailed drawings, which is clearly a lot of work. At the same time, it's about as small as you can make all the panels while still cramming in some dialogue, so they have to leave room for words, too - and probably figure out how to do so nine separate times!
However when you do it right, the resul...

Gunwild: That's lewd. This is a family comic!
Psu: Okay, can I say that this one's PROBABLY my fault? I think it came about ever since I did that sight gag in "Seat of Your Pants" where he blushes but it looks like a toaster heating up. Well...
Gunwild: I went along with it though because I like the idea of it singing his hat and that being a problem. Also the comic title. I will do stupid things to even indirectly earn a pun.
Psu: Well overall I really lik...

Back on track. What could be happening after that last page? More swooshy lines behind swords, of course! Also probably some dialogue or some crap, but what's that matter? Swooshy lines!

"The world is coming down around our ears and you're sticking at a few vampires!" is a rather good 'Salem's Lot bit that I couldn't figure out how to work into this pinup text in a fun way. Anyway, happy Spooktober, here's Maddy as a Yoshitaka Amano styled vampire hunter!
Concept art for a Halloweeny pinup of Maddy as a vampire hunter, probably to hunt that Vampire Cassiopeia from a few years ago's Halloweeny pinup! Expect Underworld levels of form-fitting black leather.

Gunwild: Pretty sure that Lavadon is a better design than several monsters we've fought in Gears 5 lately, and it's only around for one panel!
Psu: Clawlossus doesn't need to wait for glowing weakpoints, he makes his own way. This strip is really silly, I feel like embracing the weirdness that is Clawlossus is very indicative of the spirit of our comic. There's serious people all the time but it's a pretty weird world. But just because they're "weird" doesn't mean they're not people. And Clawlossus is ...

Psu: Very.
Gunwild: I meant you.
Psu: I'm not wrong.
Gunwild: Yes, that's so. Okay, truth time, we have carefully discussed the merits of lots of sci-fi clothing, so I'm just as much of a nerd. Mostly we like these understated wool Starfleet uniforms, although we have noticed that they still don't have pockets.

Giving a sword a swooshy trail line thing is fun in sci-fi, usually justified by making it a laser sword or something. Hopefully it'll be enough that the lighting and things at this party are weird!

Gunwild: I introduced the word "baronetess" to the comic here, which people have never ceased trying to 'correct.' Surely I mean "baroness," right? Well, no, a baronetess is specifically the female equivalent of a baronet. Which is like a small-time baron. It's a rare title but I didn't think Maddy should be going "full baroness," that sounds too grand and it would be confusing why she didn't have more political clout.
