I suppose a straight line ~is~ the shortest distance between two points. And if you slip, possibly the fastest.
There should be an upswing in posting soon since my health is getting increasingly better for once! Getting back to more than 1x update per comic per week, so check back later ok?
And, the last month’s Patreon rewards are going out soon, and the next wallpaper (MI this time) will be up in a day or two. Thank you all for your support and readership in November, and if you got a reward for Dec, I’ll be doing my best to deliver all of the before the holidays.

DEAR LORD OMINOUS SHADOW IN THE LAST PANEL HELLO THERE OMINOUS SHADOW FRIEND !!!!
Just as long as it isn’t one of those hammerhead “friends” from Pitch Black…
Hi.
Anyone else reminded of “the Beast” from the old game “Another World”?

Yes!!!!!!!!
Wow, that version is a lot prettier than the one I played.
WAR FLASHBACKS
I could never get past the cave in that damn game grr
The cave with the support column for the damn’s water? Yeah… that was hard. Shoot the column out and the water comes after you:

Generally ends in this:

But if you manage to out run it you get to here:

Something huge and oddly shaped appears in the background of the last panel; but I can’t figure what it is! Or maybe a Photoshop layer got lost.
I think Michael would be a lot happier if it was a lost Photoshop layer
That shadow sort of looks like an elephantman with a tiny hat on. Love this comic!
WHAT IS FOLLOWING HIM THO
It’s Hammerhead Dude!
It’s Bex, with her shoulder and head friends.
Oh, apparently Mike is being stalked by Martian Selknam (if you don’t know who they were, see a statue of one here at the Natural History Museum in Santiago, Chile -warning, mildly NSFW)

Oh I like that :D
It’s Rudolph isn’t it.
oh. OH. Y’know, I saw the thing in the final panel, but didn’t register that it was new until I read the comments.
The question is whether he went there for a swim, or just to sink :|
Deadly fungusbeast?
IS THAT FUNGUS ZOMBIE BEX CREEPING IN
*spits water at panel five*
WHAT IS THAT THING????
Mobile Thighfiend?
Aw, so not big dive? Tsk.
The moral of this story will be, don’t start space exploration until the laser gun is invented, right?
Oh boy… right now the moral could be a lot of things.
“don’t be an idiot asshole”
“don’t be an idiot asshole to newbie science friends”
“carry a multitool!!!”
“no roughhousing in the lava tubes”
Other morals could be:
“Don’t do your ex-boss any favors after you’ve been fired.”
“Remember to work on upper body strength.”
“Don’t sleep in strange places, when you wake up things tend to get weird.”
Actually I’m pretty sure Mike had no intention of doing Goto a favor. He manipulated her desire to be an effective leader in order to get her to do something she would never ordinarily do, and he did it purely for his own purposes.
Considering he was about to kill himself anyway, taking risks going down the slope doesn’t seem extrordinary. Besides, Mars has about a third of the gravity of Earth. It’s probably not as dangerous as it appears.
It’s the creeping Martian Death Faucet! AAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa~
goddamn it XD That’s all I could see too, lol
Death Faucets of Mars! would be a great pulp title, though.
Is that going to be its official name now? Like thighfish/fungus/friend?
on the first panel Mike is trudging throuhg something. I wonder, what?
Those can’t be stars, right? Bio- or chemi-luminescence then, I guess.
Yeah, that’s pretty steep Mike.
Great to hear you are feeling better!
That’s a horribly mutated Bex isn’t it? :(
Thighfriend’s mom. Lookin’ for thighfriend.
Gonna make Mike a headfriend.
In the first panel, is Mike hip-deep in lint spiders? Or is he just comin’ through the rye?
That’s so… Jules Verne! So much the pure fascination of discovering unknown realms, with just a creepy touch of Poe, as Mike doesn’t seem to notice – or care of – his slight additions. Or that mysterious apparations.
Many thanks for a great story und so much blue!
WHAT IS THAT
“WHAT ARE THOSE”
Sorry-
Yeah, I’m done.
Glad to hear your health is getting better! If getting more than one update out a week is getting too hard, don’t worry. Your health comes first, and your comics are GORGEOUS. I don’t mind waiting for them.
Started reading this comic tonight and I’m absolutely hooked. Can’t wait for new pages aaaAAAHHHH!!
Everyone’s talking about the ominous shadow, but I’m here still being sad about the limp thighfriend.
As you should be! The real hero of this story isn’t doing so well.
anybody ever read Bradbury’s “Dark They Were, and Golden-Eyed”?
HOLY SHIT, IT’S ZEIRAM.
Ok this is why I need to slow down because I didn’t realize the change in the background!
Wow, that sure is a tall, dark, ominous shadow. Maybe it’s friendly!
For a minute I totally thought Mike’s hand melted into a… a… new friend… then I realized it was just his old dead friend… on his leg.
He’s carrying it :’]
” Come on Mr. Frodo, I can’t carry it for you…but I can carry you! ” *heroic music*

i have no idea what that shadow in the last panel could be, but it already concerns and terrifies me. :|
also i’ve been enjoying all the vibrant shades of blue in this sequence. so pretty!
I’ve gotten so terribly attached to Mike. What have you done to me. 8’c
Thighfriend is terribly attached to Mike also.
This is the best thing I have read all day.
Just discovered this comic, the art is amazing! The story is also so intriguing, I’m just bummed there isn’t more of it haha!
I look forward to seeing more!
Thanks! next update is up later tonight :]
