Girls in Space

…and that’s how the first story, The Prototype, ends: on a big fat cliffhanger!   Today’s page ties up the loose end regarding the delivery mission at the start of the story, allowing the mission to be concluded, even though Faye and Zoe failed to deliver the Universal Upgrader to wherever it was supposed to go.  With the company who built it believing that it was destroyed, it wraps things up as far as the mission is concerned. 

This is probably as good a time as any to share a few notes about our first Girls in Space story.  It was originally titled One for One, a reference to Zoe being left on Earth and Red being taken into space.

With the exception of the first few pages and the current page, The Prototype is set entirely on Earth.  The first story had to happen this way to set up my concept for all the future stories where an Earth girl and a Space girl have amazing sci-fi adventures in a pimped out Volkswagen Bus.  As you may have guessed from today’s update, space adventures are just around the corner.

As of next week I will be updating the comic on Mondays and Thursdays (rather than Fridays).  Looking at my stats I realised that the Monday pages were getting lots more viewers than the Friday pages, and I suspect it is because people who read at work would have had four days to see the Monday page, but only one day to see the Friday page.  Hopefully this will balance things out.

Yikes – this is turning into an epic post, so I’ll wrap it up now.  Hope you can come back on Monday to see the cover for the next story and Thursday for the first page.
