Bluesky has added a Notification button, which guarantees you’ll get all my posts if you’re following me (which I thought you already did, but I guess not?). It’s the little bell button on my profile page, so go ahead and click that esp. if this is your primary way of knowing when the comic updates.

Elan Plush Update: Today’s news strongly implies that the US orders will be on the move from the manufacturer to Ookoodook soon.

CA, AU, and NZ orders are out and should be in your hands any day. EU orders are en route to distributor in France.

One of my favorite comics right now:

Bluesky pals! I have a sci-fi graphic novel called DRIVE, and it's my favorite thing I've ever done!

If you need a long, escapist read at the moment, I highly, highly recommend a deep-dive! The entire thing is free to read, here: drivecomic.com

( BONUS TODAY: Giant Tesskans! )
NARRATION BOX: Du Fu PANEL 1: A NYX, an alien with a crest and rhino-like horn, peers into a room where THE GOVERNOR sits in an easy-chair in front of a fireplace, feet up on a stool, glass of wine in hand. NYX: This onyx will have apologized to the governor for the late interruption. GOVERNOR: Come in, my friend! YES-YES-YES! Your new batch of “Tinto de Verano” is a DELIGHT! PANEL 2: Close up on the NYX, as he continues. NYX: This nyx will have detected an unscheduled drive ship within the system. But the signal will have been transitory. Will have been lost. The leap will have been well-placed between moons, to avoid triangulation. PANEL 3: Close up on the GOVERNOR. GOVERNOR: Oh no! No-no-no! CONTINUUM?!? Quickly: call the Armada and forward them your data. PANEL 4: The GOVERNOR starts to get up. GOVERNOR: I’ll find my shoes and be right behind you! SFX: HURK! PANEL 5: The GOVERNOR peaks around his chair to see what the NYX said. GOVERNOR: What was that? What did you say? UNKNOWN: I Don’t know that it was discernible, cousin. PANEL 6: In the doorway where the NYX once stood are two giant TESSKANS, humanoid dinosaur-like creatures with blades on their head and tusks. They are very large and muscular, and in between them stands the short EMPEROR. Under one of the feet of the TESSKANS you can see the crest of the NYX. THE GOVERNOR is in the foreground, still in his chair. EMPEROR: But then, some things in life aren’t IMMEDIATELY DISCERNIBLE, are they? No-no-no. ——— Want 5,000 more comics like this?

Plush Update: Plushes are finished and on their way to EU/Can/AU customers.

US orders are temporarily delayed due to current tariffs—I budgeted for up to 50%, they are >100% now. Will ship when either they go back down or I am able to pay the increase, who knows which will come first.
A bin filled with adorable Elan plushes.
