And now the moment you’ve all been waiting for… the winners of the Con (/ Meg) -test! My gosh, you guys made it really hard to judge this one. There were lots of excellent choices for their nicknames! After much deliberation and expert-consulting, I have decided the ones that will suit them best are Conflagration and Nutmeg. Hooray! Here’s the thing, though– Nutmeg was suggested by no less than three individuals, and I imagine you all thought of it independently (just goes to show what a good name it is, with so many of you thinking alike!). I suppose I could say the first person who posted the name should get the prize, but where’s the fun in that? So I’m going to spread a little Holiday cheer and send out buttons to Stewart, Fred, and AlpineBob, who each submitted the winning name. AlpineBob, clever fellow that he is, also suggested Conflagration. Con… gratulations! Send me an email (to tara ~”at”~ galaxioncomics ~dot~ com) with your postal addresses to claim your prizes.

Okay, I officially heart that fourth panel (Mal’s wolfish grin). XD
Ewan must be having relationship issues again or something…
RumplestiltsCon! You win!
I can’t claim to be especially clever (just faster to the keyboard than most), especially as I have just minutes ago realized that I missed the first friday update for almost two weeks! I wondered why the narrative took that odd leap, but I was distracted by thinking of names…
Now what? They have a cat? They were keeping it in a bag?
Fusie does seem like the type to have a Ship’s Cat around, actually…
Hmmm.
And the speculation upon the breeding of the Ship’s Cat hath commenced.
Huzzah!
Ewan seems either troubled or malnutritioned. I too, love Mal’s expression change in that panel. Nice work!
I, too, love that look. Especially the two frames so you can see the change come across his face.
BTW, what’s a B.E.C. mod? And does Ewan’s comment have anything to do with Anna’s observation in the Engine Room?
Birotational Engine Core?
Bionic Enhancer Calbiration?
Boldly Enhanced Coffee?
The last one seems most likely.
Bi-phase electron calibrator.
You know… I’m finding myself wondering if Col. Anderson will shown up in this scene…
