Now taking bets on whether Fernando just peels out and does doughnuts with the ship until they return.
Also: A first (brief) mention of how their FTL communication system works! We’ve had word of the vidpacks system, before…but this is the first time we’ve heard tell that the whole thing is ring-dependent. (Correct me if I’m wrong, there: I don’t *think* it’s been mentioned, before.)
Off they go, to the lovely little seaside vacation village of Slaughter. Take the kids! Jet-ski rentals until 5PM!
This is something I’ve been dying to show you guys for a while, now: A map of the galactic powers in the Milky Way.
Have a close look! Whatcha see? Anything that suggests past wars/plots/intricacies…or suggests future ones? Post what you think, below: It’ll be fun to hear what you can parse out just from the map!
And as we had into the second week of our Double-Dose-of-Drive, let me give a huge ‘thank you’ to the game masters at
Star Pirates. I’m already getting word back that a lot of Drive readers are trying out Star Pirates’free, browser-based space MMO — which is awesome. It’s a virtuous circle of scifi-lovin’ folks!
So post below! Whatcha see? Whatcha think?
What be this, this Six Moons of Slaughter? Tune in next week: Same Drive-time, same Drive-channel.
Good news for fans of my second strip, DRIVE: All throughout April, we’re going to have two Drives a week…all thanks to the game masters at Star Pirates! See, the folks at Star Pirates are huge fans of the strip, and like so many of you — they were jonesing for more of the story.
And when they read that I had to take time off from Drive in order to manage my obligations on Stripped and Sheldon, they had a proposal. What if they sponsored Drive for a whole month, to make sure a whole big chunk of the story could spin out? It’s a brilliant idea…and guys, it’s happening all throughout April.
So while you’re enjoying the double-dose of DRIVE, give Star Pirates a go! It’s an in-browser space MMO you can play anywhere for free. You play as a star pirate, scratching out a living mining asteroids, raiding other players’ ships for cargo, or teaming up for fleet-on-fleet combat! There are even fleets named after factions in the Drive universe…which I’ve always thought was super cool!

There are a handful of Batpug prints left from Emerald City Comicon. It’s first-come, first-served, my friends: Get ’em while there’s still gettin’ to get! (I promise that was English.)
I just got back from Emerald City Comicon in Seattle, and hot diggety: What a great weekend. Seattle: You know how to show wandering cartoonists an amazing weekend. Thanks for coming out, and thanks for the many kind words for Sheldon & Drive. You have no idea how much that kind of thing powers me through the rest of the year.
Thank you!
