I think this is the only time we see the Tarantucruiser in color! It’s… essentially the same palette of colors as the regular-style Tarantugun, I suppose. Purple, red, and orange.
Also, I get to do my first Big Dramatic Fans Groupshot.
Let’s see what T Campbell’s got to say today.
Like David says, it’s a lovely day when you see a new hand render your characters, and seeing my babies in full color was a rare privilege. The goofy excitement of that final panel’s just what I was hoping for.
I’m unsure whether Dina’s moment here works. I recall it was me who proposed it and David who edited in both the “I thinks.” I thought at the time that as the runt of 128’s litter, she’d be the best equipped of them to see insecurity in others. These days, though, it’s a lot clearer that one of Dina’s defining characteristics is difficulty reading people in general, not just people who seem to have their shit together. The rush of victory making Walky blinder than she is still makes sense, though, so “Walky? Do… do grateful people look like THAT?” might get the job done and be truer to the Dina we know now.

“…and then I threw a rock at ’em!”
(stares from around the table)
“…It was a big rock.”
…is there a reason Alisin is looking deathly-pale?
I wondered that the first time around, too.
But only her face. Rest of her is normal?
it’s called makeup, you guys
Still not sure I get why she’d be wearing that much if she was trying on clothes right before the dimensional shift.
From what I understand, for plenty of goth people that’s normal, daily makeup.
It’s not that clothes shopping is too mundane to be all made up, it’s that clothing stores tend to be upset when you return the unbought tops caked in makeup.
I think the clothes shopping is why we did makeup on just her face and not her body here: the outfit she was trying on covered her from neck to ankle. Other times that she’s been in color in more revealing outfits, more of her skin has been whited-up. That would be even less practical when clothes shopping, but the face makeup has been integral to her visual identity, to the point that she almost never left the house without it.
If she were any more goth she’d be sacking Rome.
OK that one earned a Muttley LOL.
In my mind canon, I decided that she was getting ready for a KISS concert.
Skellington!

IIRC (it’s been a LONG time since I’ve read Fans!), it’s noted more than once that Alisin wears white pancake makeup. There’s a goth vlogger/makeup artist, Drac Makens, who does somewhat analogous looks if you want to see what it looks like on a real person?
Whoops, this was supposed to be a reply to King Daniel! Oh well.
Does Alisin’s makeup break the “everything here time traveled and was exposed to magic” rule?
On second thought, the rules probably include matter close enough to your body, or you’d be leaving behind everything you ate since the initial incidents.
Maybe Alisin just had her make-up set on her at some point while time traveling or being exposed to magic?
Maybe that poor unfortunate RVer had makeup in his poor unfortunate RV?
Trying to catch up on fans right now, honestly I’m not used to seeing Alison in color. She looks like a feminine version of Sting the Icon.
I’m not sure what the Fan kids are hoping to accomplish against a fighter jet, here.
