(Author’s Note): Once, I found my dignity in the trash. Don’t judge me. (Illustrator’s Note): Green seems to be the color of evil in this strip. I wonder what that says about Captain Planetarium.

(Author’s Note): I think this joke is a Bus-t. …I’m sorry. (Illustrator’s Note): I swear I do more graphic designing in this strip than I do cartooning.
(Author’s Note): You’ll never guess what happened when Daisy suggested that the class take a trip to Burning Man. (Illustrator’s Note): So I just realized that Daisy Chain (who just happens to have been introduced in this chapter) has a shirt with a color pattern that kind of resembles Earth. I swear I didn’t plan… Continue reading 134-Draining The Swamp
(Author’s Note): I’m pretty sure that the U.N. will soon classify Timeshares as a crime against humanity. I’m also increasingly impressed by the amount of energy that Taylor can infuse in the poses of the characters. Draco’s reveal in panels two and three really shines here. The punchline might be in panel four, but the… Continue reading 141-Dramatic Reveal
(Author’s Note): Since this whole chapter is about going green, may I draw (ha) your attention to how we recycled Planetarium’s pose in panels two and four. Who says we don’t practice what we preach?
(Author’s Note): Dr. Draco just loves sharing a cup of lapsang souchong tea. (Illustrator’s Note): So this is comic making: The original scrip was supposed to have Liz in the last pannel, shouting: “TWO!” in response to the robot’s question. That little detail, however, had been pushed down to the next page and I never… Continue reading 143-Tea Time
(Author’s Note): So…who would be interested in some merchandise from us? I’m asking for a friend and am in no way saddled with hundreds of dollars of product that no one wants. (Illustrator’s Note): Guess I’ll start making up the “Superskooled” Spreadshirt page.
(Author’s Note): No one can resist discounted coffee. I’ve been looking forward to this strip ever since the idea popped into my head. Taylor really delivered on the feel. The green tint of Draco’s command center has a perfect military situation-room feel. (Illustrator’s Note): This was one of the more fun strips to create.
(Author’s Note): Did you notice that Brad went to Starbutts? Taylor is pretty good at sneaking in subtle things like that into the strip. If you go back and read this story line again, you’d be surprised at the little things that might stand out. (Illustrator’s Note): Logan said in the last strip that he’d… Continue reading 151-Front Doork
(Author’s Note): Honk if you love Looney Toons slapstick. (Illustrator’s Note): I took insperation for Draco’s “Screen Bot” from the “Shadow the Hedgehog” game.
