There's a website called Garfield Minus Garfield, which erases Garfield the cat and his thoughts from the daily comic strip, on the basis cats can't really talk, meaning that everything that happens in the strip is really a projection of Jon, the lonely human. I don't know why I mention it and it has nothing to do with the fact that TT now seems to be best friends with Og and a ghost. |

I'm sure that Patrick Moore on The Sky at Night, never, ever mentioned that constellation! He couldn't see it, that's why. It made his monocle steam up. Edited by trevor travis on 25-07-2023 14:19 Vote Og.

These are soooo good! Cheering me up after a far too serious and busy day! Love the ones with Lorna with her radiation hazard cap! *No, I am not. I am not expendable, I'm not stupid, and I'm not going.*

KEEP IT UP PLEASE It's great fun to do these strips, and I am glad that I can contribute to a lively Horizon culture. I still have ideas, and Joe also supplies lots of ideas and scripts. While I don't know how long I will be able to continue with daily updates, the next strips are already planned up to episode 61. By the way, I was also thinking about reviving CH4, the whacky 'methane comic strip' I drew about 40 years ago, focussing on the exploits of two methane breathing aliens. While I am tempted, I loath the required effort (the storylines are much longer and the graphics are more involved). However, I already did a quick sketch of the heroes: What do you think?

I don't know why I mention it and it has nothing to do with the fact that TT now seems to be best friends with Og and a ghost. Don't worry. While today's installment again features TT and the ghost, we will soon see our hero talk to his Horizon friends again. And the ghost is not just a projection. |

Hugbot, whatever you want to do on this site, the more the better. The comics have been a huge success and I am intrigued by the methane breather comics too. More, please.

Huggy, loathe as I am to pay you a compliment...... you are doing brilliant work here. I wish I had even a pinch of your imagination and artistry...keep up the good work and the more the merrier! Joe Dredd, you started something great here. So you keep the ideas coming too. Top marks. This forum is a very special place. Ok enough with the nice talk... Silflay hraka, u embleer rah!

Huggy, the colouring and shading on your Methane figures is excellent. I also love that they are not defined by solid continuous outlines but by a series of fine strokes. That said, Yrgh looks too happy for his name. "Yrgh!" is what I imagine you might say when you are drawing panel 153 and realise you are only halfway! |

Thank you, that is very encouraging. Besides drawing new batches of Observatory strips, I am also doing some preparatory sketches and planning for CH4; however, I can't yet tell where that will lead. In this respect, CH4 is a bit like Gandalf and Galen: expect it when you see it. |

A compliment from you??? What have I done wrong? But seriously, many thanks. It feels good to make my fellow Horizonists happy. Joe Dredd, you started something great here. I can't stress this enough. I absolutely love to play in the universe that Joe created. Many thanks for that, Joe! |

Huggy, the colouring and shading on your Methane figures is excellent. Thank you. (Version 2.0 of Clip Studio Paint now comes with an integrated Shading Assistant, but please don't tell anyone... ) I also love that they are not defined by solid continuous outlines but by a series of fine strokes. I've been experimenting with this style for a while now and I found that it really suits me. This way, I can draw with much more confident strokes than by painstakingly drawing solid outlines, resulting in a much more vivid shape. The only drawback is that I have to close the lines on an invisible additional layer to facilitate colouring. That said, Yrgh looks too happy for his name. Exactly! That's part of the joke. Yrgh is a bit of a cheerful pessimist (if that makes sense). "Yrgh!" is what I imagine you might say when you are drawing panel 153 and realise you are only halfway! After reading this comment, I actually counted the panels in the 40 years old original. There were 137 panels, and I haven't the faintest idea when or how the storyline was supposed to end! (And true to his name, Yrgh is graphically sea-sick in the last panel I ever drew...) Edited by Hugbot on 27-07-2023 07:32 |

A comic strip with ball-and-stick molecular models as heroes? Hmmm, now there's an idea! Problem is that I already have too many story ideas buzzing around in my head. And speaking of "you know you are a chemist when...": Edited by Hugbot on 27-07-2023 07:21 |

Can we just take a moment to admire Hugbot's brilliant recreations of all of these works of art, and in keeping with the 'only a head' design of the strip? Apart from the humour, and the affection he clearly has for the group, his talent here is just fantastic. |
