the unmolested shot… at long last. Note that the Mercadians live in burrows at the BASE of the trees, and not UP the trees like, say, Ewoks. >.>

It’s been a long time, friends. Probably too long to salvage some of you as readers, but hey. As much as I have preached webcomics as a business over the years, it is an often unprofitable one. If I draw this series myself, people make fun of it and say “oh, Mac… there’s no WAY you can make money off art like that.” (meanwhile, Rob Leifeld continues to be gainfully employed.) And then, if i hire an artist, it takes a gozillion years to recoup the loss. We had a damn good one. Except… she didn’t follow directions a lot or simply had no idea what I was talking about. I guess it helps to have a common point of reference. So it seems it’s a business when it is, and a hobby when it isn’t.
I was looking at the links in, and it seems that someone is itching to tear me a new one on the Bad Webcomics Wiki. Really? You can judge a whole story based on 38 pages of a 167 page script? Huh. y’know, at this low point in the story, I would think things are more like that sight gag in Stone Trek back in the day where you see the two tubes marked “Does Nothing” and “Goes Nowhere”. Some people may have long memories and recall where we ended up in 2008/09, but I doubt the vast majority of people do because the story was so disconnected at times. Maybe, if we’re fortunate, this time I can weave it all together the way I intended in the first place. Anyway, if you really feel you gotta review a comic that hasn’t updated for almost half a year, be my guest. I like the hits. Who knows. It may even encourage me to update. 
“Planet of the topless catgirls.” See, silly me, I thought there were a few effeminate topless catboys in there, too. My bad.
