And thus ends the longest pregnancy in history… how long ago was it that Hoodoo got knocked up when she Dirty Danced with Captain Perfect waaay back in the Crossoverkill crossover? Obviously nine month Magellan time, but quite a few years by our reckoning. My thanks to Red Death/Dan, Captain Perfect’s creator, for allowing that to happen! For other Hoodoo moments, including the astral possession of her as then unborn child, follow the Hoodoo tag!
As for the destruction of Faux DragonKlaw, Hoodoo is referring this moment on page 6.318…
To people only just joining the comic, I’m sure all this makes zero sense… sorry, we’re right at the end of a very loooong chapter – maybe start here instead!
Next update: Sunday December 17, 2017: The verdict… the hearing draws to an end.
*coughs* “divine” *coughs*
Also, just a little friendly reminder from the Ghost of the Commentaries of Weeks’ Past!
Bloody English language!
“she’s perfect” How appropriate.
Indeed!
It was the perfect one liner to say.
The little one is unaffected? Just wait until Olga or Twilight gets around her.
Olga: Oh, she is so cute, Ms. Hoodoo. I’ve never really read a baby before, but I thought their thoughts would be more primal, instinctual, and a lot less organized. Yes, I hear you, little one. Umm, Ms. Li Jiang, I think your baby is telepathic and she is hungry again.
Hoodoo: I suspected as much. Well, that explains why she is already toilet trained.
Olga: Let’s see. I think you should take her to see cadets Jones and Kwan and see how she reacts. Maybe Charisma as well.
Gosh, imagine that – a newly born baby already toilet trained!
That’s not going to happen, even if she is telepathic. However, I do wonder what is going to happen!
By superhero comic rules, I guess that this rather extreme origin story should make for some pretty extreme superpower. If we extrapolate from what other encounters with Vostok has resulted in, Lilly could grow up to be completely immune to all kinds of psychic attacks.
But if we go by my theory from the previous page that the Vostok synapse adjustments that result in a stronger mind is just getting your hangups and fears and vulnerabilities sorted out, then probably she hadn’t formed any of those yet and there was nothing for Vostok to adjust! Great story, no superpower. That might be interesting as well, she might end up with Kaycee as a role model and look to be another norm superhero. Hmm… maybe I should go write some stories. Or maybe I should go back to my job :p
When Lily gets older,would she adopt the identity of her other dimensional father-Captain Perfect (2)???
Great page
Thanks for your complaint. It was a phrase only meant in jest written after the (literally) hundreds (if not thousands) of hours of work I’ve put into this story and the sheer exhaustion of mind that comes from such fatigue.
Best wishes, Grace.
Tis the season.
Hi Grace,
today I deleted all my Patreon pledges, and I briefly wanted to explain why. It is nothing personal at all – I love your comic. It is just that Patreon recently sent an email to all existing patrons, explaining that they will unilaterally increase the amount of our pledges in an effort to increase the earnings of all of their creators. As much as I love the creators such as you, I don’t love Patreon, and I find their decision unethical. Therefore I have deleted all of my pledges with them. If there is some other, more ethical micropayment service you can use, I would be happy to continue supporting your work!
Patreon decided to reverse that, thankfully. Whether people will trustthem again reamis to be seen. There are other options, but Drip is apparently invite only & Flattr seem unnecessarily complex.
Failing those, there’s always a PayPal button. And they’ve finally gotten around to make repeat payments simple to do. Of course, they have their own raft of ethical issues.
Also, there’s another site called Ko-Fi, but I don’t know of that does recurring micropayments/donations/whatever. But they might be an option for people with issues with PayPal. There are others, but I just can’t recall them ATM.
Hmm, just been taking a closer look at Ko-Fi, looks like they use PayPal exclusively for transactions. So ignore what I said about them possibly being a good alternative to PayPal.
Patreon has recently reversed that decision after a huge amount of backlash, like yours. That said, Kickstarter is developing a micro-payment platform called Drip. It is currently in beta testing.
That’s great! I’m glad that Patreon has finally listened to its customers, and I have reinstated my pledges!
Thanks everyone for your comments re Patreon… I’m always grateful for anyone to support me this way but also understand completely when that is not possible or no longer viable, for whatever reason. I’m very glad though that Patreon did an about face on what would have been an asinine policy.
