Panels 5 and 6 are still some of my favorite lines of dialogue I’ve ever written. Talk about economic! storytelling!!!

At this point I had NO idea Gimel would be such a spiritual backbone of the story. He was almost window dressing at this point.

The Pinsky house interior! Lots of concrete, lots of chrome, lots of blackboard paint, something that looks spendy, cold, but not unlived in.

I tried to nail down their height difference early, though it’s not as consistent over the comic as I’d like. They ended up around 5'8" and 6'1" - Brendan’s eyes at the level of Al’s mouth.

Speaking of voice actors, though, Al is easy. She has always sounded like Ron Perlman.

And here’s Brendan. I’m curious what he sounds like in readers’ heads - for me he always had a boyish Michael J. Fox-style voice, maybe with a bit of Anthony Rapp thrown in.

Do you think Al’s officially an Aquarius, post-resurrection? (true answer: she would think astrology is fake, which is so Sag of her). God, robot astrology would totally be a thing, wouldn’t it.

The bluff the Pinsky house sits on is a creative liberty I took - Minneapolis is pretty flat. I’m also pretty sure that’s the Metrodome in there, which would cease to exist a year after I drew this page.

I should revisit that dog walker robot sometime.
Blue Delliquanti is the creator of the comic O Human Star. Here is my fancy art tag, and my much goofier sketches tag.
