Aaaand… it’s the end of Pt.V, readers. Bye bye Tatooine! Thanks for reading, and for your comments. Comments keep the site alive! And I love reading them! That’s not to say I’m just fishing for compliments of course. ‘Tatooine’ by[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Cor, that 3rd panel’s a bit gruesome eh? Yes, readers, this is the very real human-impact of the action. So spare a thought for the poor« expendable henchmen Art Notes I’m sorry, but unless inspiration strikes in the next few hours,[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
