I’ve been experimenting recently with the idea of placing things over the top of word balloons. This page was one of the first experiments I tried. It’s quite subtle (panel 3 if you missed it) but I thought it helped to make a page of two talking heads more interesting to look at.
I came up with this joke when I was in the final stages of my old comic Dr Sheep and the Aardvark. Unfortunately I couldn’t make it fit into the ending so I left it on my ideas notepad for another project. When I was thinking of different scenarios in which Zoe would get fired, I was very pleased to discover I had a page already written! All I had to do was change the line “Oh no, Aardvark! Please don’t tell me you’ve been fired again!”
See you on Monday for more spacegirl fun. Have a great weekend and tell all your friends and family about Girls in Space. Especially your uncle. He’ll love it!

ah, well if it were a boy, chicks dig scars. If it was a female… uh Tina Fey?
Haha! Maybe they were ugly to begin with and the dropping incident actually fixed his or her face? Like a kind of lucky accidental cosmetic surgery!
LOL! well now the parents will be able to tell them apart, they should be happy!
Haha! Gary, you’re a glass-half-full kind of guy, I can tell!
