For some reason "Shikaday" makes me laugh. I just love the sound of it. :D

Wow, haven't been into these forums for a very long time. Happy to see that the comics are still running! Good spirit!

Edit: I see I need to completely update my avatar and signature hosts... :helmet

Well, I know YOU'RE cool at least. ;)

Now, here's more Skika Day goodness. And just as a warning (because I KNOW you all set you're watches by it) I probably won't make the next comic by my self-imposed two-week deadline. But hopefully it'll be worth the wait.

Most keeners around here have a very cool taste in music, if I may say so, by the looks of a few threads. elecdude33, xtraverse and StupidBunny like themselves much good old Rush. I'm not quite as cool as my little brother, who plays Rush on the guitar all the time. My favorite is Genesis. Can't get enough of 2112 though.

Looking forward to the next comic! It sounds exciting... I bet that Bounder has one heck of a headache.

I love 2112. I always liked Roll the Bones and Nobody's Hero too.

As for Keen stuff, since I'm still behind with the comic, I posted some character designs for a defunct Keen 3D project I was a part of years ago. Nothing came of it as far as I know, but here's the artwork anyway.

Hopefully should be back on track in two weeks.

That is super cool Mort! We need to see more 3D stuff around here and your concept art would really translate to quality 3D models, well done!

Thanks for the compliments on the Keen 3D designs. I'm actually surprised that the guy who originated the idea didn't comment. He's still around here somewhere.

Anyway, here's the latest... The first of a 5-part series. Enjoy.

Superb. So perfect. The Mothership looks great. Usually it's so flat-looking. Always interested in ideas for the backstory of Keen.

Eachoes of the Bain Slugs there. <Let me tell you totally honestly what this diabolical device does.>

I wonder why two old fogies were unaffected? Maybe they wore their pants too high?

Fantastic stuff! :lol Can't wait for the next part. I really like the design of the Tantalus Rays and the Mothership.

Suspenders with no belts, obviously...
