Can’t have a joke on every page.  Receiving a crate of children’s skulls in the mail is srs bsns.

↓ Transcript
Jacob: Nevermind your personal quirks, Captain Threenipple. Let's get this crate open.
Girii: I got it.
Girii and Roger: Skulls!?
Girii: Are those human skulls? They're so small...
Jacob: They're from children. Each about four years old.
Girii: But that's -- who would mail you a crate full of children's skulls?
Jacob: Someone who's trying to get under my skin.
Girii: Where did they even get this many skulls? Who killed all those children?
Jacob: Oh, that part's easy. I did.

    Vampire babies!

  2. Thomas says:

    This should get interesting. Great work on characters and backstory, Mr. Shepherd. Great work indeed. Once again – and once again: I’m enjoying it so far.

  3. Remus Shepherd says:

    Verrry observant, Konrad. (If it had been a mistake, you’d have gotten a No-Prize. 😉 )

    Glad you’re enjoying it so far, Thomas!

  4. Chuk says:

    Just curious — did you research the skull sutures of 4 year olds?

  5. Remus Shepherd says:

    Yes, the sutures on four-year-olds should be wider and probably so open that the skulls would not hold together. But as Konrad has hinted, these skulls may not be quite human…

  6. Creepy. Maybe if Roberta Williams designs another horror themed game some day, you could be a creative consultant for it.

  7. --jt-- says:

    Um, not important, but is the good captain navigating his nasal passage?

  8. Remus Shepherd says:

    I’ll let you interpret it however you want. I had planned to have him scratching his nose, but when I finished drawing it and realized what it looked like, I let it stand.
