“Uh, Sir, you don’t have to kill them all, there’s only one or two of them that knows too much.”
“So you want me, Head Alien, to show restraint, narrow my scope, and generally rein it in, rather than pursuing the most idiotically grandiose and megalomaniacally over-the-top plan available?”
“Wait, what alien tech is making everything colored?”
“Colors? I thought there was just black, white, shades of gray, and indecipherable cross-hatching?!?”
“Thank goodness I decided to do this large glowing lightshow someplace discreet like a hospital full of cops. Damn, I’ve got this world-conquest thing -down-!”

“Yes! You fools allowed a named character to die on camera! Now I am finally free! MWAHAHAHA! All of future canon shall bend to my will!”
Yes, but his art has improved so much since then that he makes it work. At this point the art leaps ahead every time he does a Sunday strip. I dunno, maybe my brain just makes more sense of his library when there is colour added.

Yay, I’m not the only one who would tumble if I could defy gravity.
You wicked person you.
Well, someone told me that everyone deserves the chance to fly!
And if she’s flying
soloin an alien antigravity field, at least she’s flyingfreespecifically kept in one place.Well, maybe deep down helping her with her ascent allows HA to feel at least a little parental.
Looking back, trying to off Joyce makes sense, but not Joe. Joe doesn’t really know what Joyce knows.

“… never mind.”
I’d venture to guess that what he’s witnessing at this very moment qualifies as “too much” even if he didn’t know much before.
That one alien still wants to be George Clooney.
I want Head Alien to be voiced by George Clooney
Head Alien is voiced by John Ritter, if memory serves.
No, Jon Lovitz.
Are you sure? Willis! Which one of us is right?
Lovitz.
Well, shit.
“You need to let go.” -Head Alien
“Wait, what alien tech is making everything colored?”
“Colors? I thought there was just black, white, shades of gray, and indecipherable cross-hatching?!?”
Only time in Joyce’s life she’ll be accused of knowing too much.
I keep forgetting he talks in Orange.

after 10, 000 minutes I’m free, it’s time to conquer earth 😛
Now I kind of want to see a story with Cerebus Syndrome as a major plot point like that…
Well she always did try to make the best of a bad situation
I wish you hadn’t worried so much about newspaper format, your art definitely picked up quality in the Sunday strips, and they’re much easier to read.
DoA’s essentially weekday newspaper format, with color.

Sorry that’s *lineart not library. Autocorrect.
It’s a Saturday. We’re already off by one! Was there a guest strip this week that was deleted?
yup
That’s hilarious.
But “close encounters of the nerd kind” was vital to the narrative! I’m so lost now
