I think you’d have to have read it a bunch of times to catch it. I just really liked the line.

Come to think of it, Vellara’s clawed pose makes her look kind of like a Left 4 Dead Witch.

Yeah I love the last frame. I’ve been trying to improve my storytelling and layout.

References (obscure and otherwise) ftw! I love the set-up for what’s coming with that last frame.

Do you mean you didn’t care for the book or you didn’t catch the reference?

I just read Going Postal a month or two ago and it completely slipped me by…

Yes it was! Wow, that’s cool you caught that, because it was kind of obscure. Going Postal is my favorite Pratchett book of all time. I’ve listened to the audiobook so many times I practically know it by heart.

While we’re talking about nods, was the “did i say or do anything that suggested I was sane” a nod to Terry Pratchett? I thought there was a line similar to that in Going Postal. Orrrr, you guys are both good sci-fi-ish comedy writers Either way, love the comic, will be back for more.

Thank you so much. I really enjoy Jeeves and Wooster a lot, and it was something that lifted my spirits some time ago when they really needed lifting. I love both the books and the series with Fry and Laurie. So it just seemed natural to mix my love of sci-fi with my love of Wodehouse’s work.
