Hello!! Curious Little Goblin Here, Are You Still Doing Anything With Runaway To The Stars?? I Discovered

hello!! Curious little goblin here, are you still doing anything with Runaway to the Stars?? I discovered it recently through reddit and I really really like the concepts!! (Especially how you’ve handled language barriers!! So freaking interesting!!!)

Hi! Thanks for asking! I'm actually in the process of making a 300 page RttS graphic novel, the first of a planned series of four books. I'm contracted to publish physical copies of the first book with Iron Circus Comics when I'm done. Right now there's about a third of the book available to read on Patreon, but I actually recently got permission from ICC to release all of the book pages digitally. So, I'm planning on uploading the whole story to Patreon as I finish pages, and when I've produced enough of a backlog, I will start releasing it as a free-to-read webcomic! Very excited about this, I grew up reading webcomics and I'm happy to contribute my own to the world!

I also draw and release other (shorter) stories from the setting. On Patreon I currently have a 100 rough pages of a graphic novel called Terranaut that's on hold while I finish the book I'm contracted to make, and there's a 40 page short called Airsled, and a compilation of shorter comics about Talita growing up called Growth Chart. I also have a bunch of short comics and animations on my website and like a decade of tumblr backlog if you like spelunking.

Anyways yeah the answer is basically that I'm planning to furiously produce comics for RttS until I die or run out of ideas.

Some internet language things I really like:

Phrases like “that’s certainly a thing”, “it’s so shaped”, or “one of the most animals” (is there a name for this?)

when people write with little to no punctuation like they are just so done

More specifically, asking questions without punctuation i.e. ‘what’ or ‘why’. It’s like, you want to know but also you are resigned to the answer?

When people capitalise The Thing for emphasis - particularly if they add a trademark symbol to really drive The Point™ home

How we use both bold and italic text for emphasis, but they convey it in different ways and I can’t quite explain how

Responding to things exclusively with punctuation, because sometimes words fail you and all you can say is !!!

this is the funniest shit ive ever seen in my life

All of my porcelain bugs. Might design more.

A baby palindrome and a baby phony side by side. When phonies are young, they have side countershading and eyes close to the ends of their mouth. As they grow, the side markings fade and their eyes get pushed further back.

Phonies also come in more colors than palindromes do.
