#256 Back to Basics
Comic for June 2, 2021
Don’t ask me why there’s a butterfly in a space station, just let it go! I needed a prop to signify Ion’s continued lack of attention and that was just the easiest way!
And oh no, our Tempest crew will have to complete basic training! Looks like Captain Thew got the last laugh. I had thought about doing a few strips of them in basic training, but decided to just end the whole arc here.
AND…I’m going to be taking a looong break, folks! As you can see, I’ve had trouble lately even keeping up with one comic a week, I’ve just been very overwhelmed with my job and life in general lately and I just need some time off. How long? I don’t know, six months, maybe longer. During that time I want to FINALLY put together a GD book, and when that’s ready, I will be back with some new strips. I’m most active on Twitter but I will still also post to Instagram and Facebook. I still haven’t decided if I will do a Kickstarter or just do the print on demand.
I WILL soon be adding a fan art page to the website, so be on the lookout for that!
Thank you so much to all of you who have followed the comic for so long, plus all of your wonderful comments, shares, retweets, fan art, and a HUGE thank you to those of you who have made monetary donations via Ko-Fi (link is on homepage, look for T-Bone!). I hope the comic has brought some smiles and laughter for you! Take care, I wish everyone the best!
Dana ^-^
LOL… This brings back memories! I had two drill sergeants in my boot camp. I had TSGT Berry (literally 7 ft tall) and SGT Berry (4 ft 9 inches tall). My squadron nicknamed them Yogi and Boo-boo. We didn’t say that to their face of course…..
Lolol! That’s hilarious! I’m glad it brought back some happy memories! Thanks, Grouchie! 🙂
Sgt. Bone-Break just might have his hands full with the Tempest crew. Enjoy the time off!
Thanks H! Hard to say whose going to have their hands full more, haha! 🙂
He’s breaking more than bones! Love these panels, Dana!
Sergeant Bone-Break isn’t too picky on just what he’s breaking, haha! Thanks Mark! 🙂
Look at Thew skipping along in Panel 3, like a colossal weight has been lifted off of his shoulders! ?
I can’t help but feel that the recent stress of GD is partially my fault, though… ?
Thew is all like, “Not my problem,” haha!
And WHY would you feel that my stress is something that you did?! My friend, no one is at fault for anything, I’ve just been really tired from my job and the pressure of having a new strip every week was just too much for me for now. I appreciate all of your comments and support, so stop that silly thinking! 🙂
So about that fanart page…
Seems like the fanart page is up now, which is cool. I am still checking this site every so often to see if the comic returns. Please start updating again in your free time.
Hi Sam, I really appreciate that you’re still checking back. I’m currently almost done with my book and will be creating new strips to promote it. I hope to have that available this summer! Take care!
No problem, have fun! And I really hope that you will make it as an artist and will be able to live from just doing comics without having to resort to other sources of income!
Just checking in that you are still among the breathing here.
I hope GD returns soon, lol.
I sure hope this hasn’t been abandoned, I was really enjoying this comic.
Hi Fletcher, thank you for the comment and I’m sorry for the long wait, Galactic Dragons is returning soon! 🙂
