Just think about how you could make the alien flunkies’ childlike trivialities into a tale of deep psychological horror, a despairing break with sanity triggered by being caught between a maniacal overlord who is willfully wasteful with their lives, superhuman 20-somethings who can rip them apart barehanded and laugh at their patheticness as they do so, a robot monkey who goes ape at them for not understanding the clades of ANOTHER BIOSYSTEM THAN THE ONE THEY HAIL FROM (and one where apes ARE monkeys anyway), and an environment that will kill them dead if they ever crack their skin-tight environmental suits in order to breath, stretch, scratch an itch, bathe, have sex, or pull out that one pebble that’s been in their boot for 5 years.

Compositing folks over CGI backdrops did not do pleasant things to your linework, I’m noticing.
needed to learn about setting layers to “Multiply”
also Layer Masks

If I’m not mistaken, right around this point in the story is where we see our first glimpse of the Dorothy AU, so it’s an apt time to bring it up.
(I wouldn’t care so much about the spoiler tag, but since you actually have to pay for those strips…)
Is it still possible to buy those comics separately, or do you have to get them through the DoA Patreon?
Here they are on the store:

Dorothy AU?
Yeah, try to land on the Fox News van instead.
YES. YES, DAVID. YES.
You know you want Super Dina, Willis. You know we want it too. You know it would put the twins through college.
College? Hell it would fund their post-doc studies.
He could call it “It’s Dina!”
YES! YES PLEASE! Even if it’s for a frame. 😛
We all would like to see that. Poor Dino-baby just got no love in the old verse.
I strongly suggest that you do it.
Do it!
Debut it in slightly under two months!
Very yes.
What they said.
Hey, your multiverse allows for it to have happened…somewhere.
It doesn’t need to be an entire AU. It could just be, say, a Shortcake’s April Fool’s strip.
Shortcake! XD
Autocorrect can sometimes make some very funny changes.

Oh, and Teletubbies no longer has Anne Wood.
I’d read it.
Man, Mike is a huge arsehole. I imagine he used her as bait while he’s trying to do something while H.A. is distracted.
Quite the team player, isn’t he?
He certainly plays the rest of his team.
I like this comic.
So that’s how it happened
Not everyone gets to be the hero.
