And back to the story! .... And oh, my, things are looking bad for our main heroes!
It feels weird to me that Wilma was the very last part of this page I drew given how effortlessly she steals the show. The baseball and Minecraft gags are so simple but they just add so much... Of course I also love Protocol's serious, to-the-point analysis of the situation and how everyone is worried except Jake. Well... Him and Wilma. ..... Oh, God, I just realized, they'd probably get along okayish.
Eh, either way, lot of great little gags in this page that just made it fun to do. ^^ See you guys next Saturday? .... Well, I mean, we'll almost certainly have filler up on Wedneday butcha get what I mean.
I'm actually not too sure if we should do filler on the off days during August or not really, kind of afraid it might break the momentum of the story too much. I dunno, what are everyone's thoughts on the subject?
In either case, yeah, this is one I've been looking forward to just for those jokes with Wilma. Pretty happy with both of those gags. Speaking of Rick's crew, Lillie being short for Elizabeth is kind of a thing I just sort of improvised in writing it, felt like it fit better than Lillian (plus we already have a prominent character named that in Wright as Rayne) and would just be kind of a cute touch. In general do tend to like Protocol being overly formal with names, it's just kind of a fun character quirk.
Funny thing, as written Protocol actually told Wilma to catch the eye to her left instead of her right. Adam wound up drawing it the other way so ended up just doing a quick tweak to the dialogue to accommodate for it. Speaking of dialogue edits, Adam's the one who had Lore still be grossed out by the eye in the first panel, as scripted that was just a silent panel. Do think it's a cute little callback.
Is this the first time we've actually referred to Protocol specifically as Phoebe Fremont within a single page? Know we've brought it up in comments before and on the Discord, and she's definitely been called Dr. Fremont before, but not sure we've ever actually referred to her as Phoebe in-comic besides stuff like how in the previous page Rex called her Feeb.
