Like most of your stuff, I've been checking instinctively almost daily, despite knowing intellectually that it updates MWF. The first step is admitting I have a problem. =P
And yeah, I saw the link up on Animexpansion. Although, as much as I love the chub you draw, I'm hoping the comic isn't inundated with people who can't post anything not related to speculating whether every little plot twist or incident will get some character fat somehow. I read this stuff as much for entertainment value as for it involving weight gain and such. _________________

I check every day too.
I enjoy the chubby ladies, but I also really like the humor and stories and the characters. It's a great combination of things I like. _________________

I would like to echo the posts of stinkywigfiddle and Korota, in that I instinctively check almost daily for updates even though I'm not expecting them, and I do so more for your storytelling than for your depiction of lovely ladies (which I also enjoy).
I think I could have made that sentence longer. Oh well. |

I must say that Random Pink Hot Guy With feathers is proving to be a most amusing trope avatar. He's every vapid stoned and/or brain damaged surfer guy who thinks he's deep.
Wait, the other guys aren't real men. Doesn't that mean they're androids, or are those ensigns just loading-workers as opposed to crew members? |

| As Piper (the parasitologist) says on panel four of comic two they're, "Enstant Ensigns" so it stands to reason they're some sort of semi-intelligent ensign-shaped organic goo that come as dehydrated capsules in little jars you "just add water" to. Almost as expendable as the real thing and a mere fraction of the cost. |

| That's it pretty much exactly, it'll be explained a bit more in future comics. |

Like Marvin the Martian's 'Instant Martian' pills from Looney Toons? That'd be hilarious. xD _________________

I check daily. Most of my webcomics/miscellany I check once per day as part of my morning routine (sometimes returning if I forgot the wording of a joke or something, my memory has more holes than the average webcomic updating schedule, wink wink guffaw), and once something gets firmly entwined within my habitual daily site-checking, I'll keep coming back even if it's been officially canceled or hiatified until the habit gradually fades away. Heck, I still visit Muertitos in the process, I can survive the 5 seconds out of my day.
I seem to have registered just to say that...I'm not an FA myself, but seeing as it doesn't obstruct the funny, I don't need to be to enjoy the comic. Figured it was about damn time I wandered in to give some sort of "heck of a job brownie" thumbs-up to you, considering I've read your stuff since Flying Suit Reiko was new. |

You had me at top right panel, comic #2.
Can't wait to see the thing that looks like a robot Lafcadio. Should be hilarious.
Keep up the good work, S. |

| Unfortunately said robot doesn't show up until page 39, so it'll be a bit of a wait. I briefly considered bringing Lafcadio into the series, as a robot with his personality... then I realized a robot with Lafcadio's personality would pretty much just be Bender. So this robot is kinda different. |

I've always been on the fence about Robots that have faces that show so much emotion. On one hand it's much more interesting and gives the robot character, on the other... it's metal and has no buisness bending and contorting like a human face.
To bring up Bender for the second post in a row, He didn't have many facial expressions since his face didn't change much and thus had less character in his facial expressions but I felt they found a good balance for him. Still the idea of a robot that can display human emotions does pose many comical situations and I suppose S.S. can just pull some excusse on this one like "Thats a future form of flexible metal composite that allows for such detailed shapes that it can be used in facial expresions and in the fututre it's so simple to make most robots have their faces made out of it for the sheer amusment of their users and owners"
Ah well I'll stop rocking the boat. |

| Steph if you were trying to hint at what their cargo is without giving it away: I can aready tell what they are carrying, (Probably wouldn't have considered the ship's design if she hadn't called it a "tri-color titan") ;P |
