I hope it’s not a reflection on US the posters :) - it is indeed much, much quieter here than over there at the Non Sequitor boards - but Pab, would you really like a big flame war here like they have over there???
(1) It’s not a swipe at Wiley, it is an homage. I love Non Sequitur, and especially Danae.
(2) It’s not a swipe at the posters here. I like not having flame wars.
(3) The original concept was a swipe at myself. The dialogue I was going to use was originally “THIS SPACE HAD SO FEW READERS, WE THOUGHT….” Then, when I was doing it, I realized how many silent panels I had done so far this week. Not counting the sound effect above, it’s eight out of 12 panels so far this week with no dialogue in a strip that usually has so much text that I’ve had to print the balloons in Eye-Strain-O-Vision a few times. So that’s where the idea for Danae’s speech here came from.
(4) The font for Danae’s speech is “Letter-O-Matic,” as opposed to my usual DigitalStrip, because it looked more like Wiley’s lettering.
(5) Maybe this will finally inspire Wiley to E-Mail me, even if just for a Cease-And-Desist.
(6) Danae is fun to draw.
(7) For stuff I need to draw for the strip, I usually use a Sharpie on standard typing/copy paper. For some reason, I lost my Sharpie this week. Yesterday’s plants were drawn with a rollerball, but the lines were so thin that when I drew Danae for today’s strip I wound up using a thick-pointed Marks-A-Lot marker I had laying around. Need to go buy a new Sharpie today.
(6) Speaking of non-sequiturs (in more ways that one), I just remembered I have to send an E-Mail to Teresa Dowlatshahi, then get back to work on the new novel. Talk to you folks later.

Is that some character from another comic that I should recognize?

Danae, trying to take over this panel. Off with her head!

As it happens, I do come here by clicking over from Non Sequitur, but this strip is not going to make any sense out of this web context.
This is going to be “stream of conciousness” week here, looks like.

Note Pab’s signature: “With apologies to Wiley.” This is homage, not a dig.

Danae should have more respect for Vicki, after all Vicki ruled a pretty big chunk of the known world in her time…
