RUNAWAY TO THE STARS: PAGE 5




Posted on April 13, 2024 by Jay Eaton

A cute little 200 meter long spacecraft! The one on the ground here, that is.
The bug ferret vessel in orbit is probably closer to half a kilometer long.

Transcript SFX: (radio click)
Talita:  Aaauuugh Cal! I hate being a supervisor!
She scrambles away on all sixes.
Calcery: My condolences about your promotion.
Talita: I hope working on a ship full of bug ferrets drives you nuts.
Calcery: Haha!
Talita: Then you’ll be stuck back on Dirtball with me again.
Calcery: Hey, you could come with!
Talita: Very funny. You’d have to saw me in half to fit me in that stupid
hamster tube maze.
Talita: Also, sorry to bring up work… But why’d we get this fancy little
torchship?
She approaches a large spacecraft sitting on a a massive sled jack. It's sitting
on the rails next to the berm between the launch loop and the junk yard.


SHINY NEW WEBCOMIC SITE

Posted on April 12, 2024 by Jay Eaton

Hello everyone. If you got here from social media, you probably know about this
comic already. I’ve been posting it to Patreon for quite a while, but it has
always been my dream to contribute to the ecosystem of free-to-read webcomics
that I spent the majority of my childhood voraciously reading while hunched over
the computer past my bedtime. I had initially started working on the Official
Book after signing it to publisher, though, and originally was only allowed to
post a third of it online. But a couple years into working on it, I got
permission to fling it out onto the internet in its entirety. So voila! Runaway
to the Stars: Book 1, out in public, updating 3 times a week!






If you hadn’t heard about this comic, welcome! Runaway to the Stars is a
worldbuilding project that I’ve been working on for over a decade. It started as
an excuse to design some aliens and throw all my science fiction thoughts in the
same vat, and eventually a book started to grow out of it like a fungus. If this
comic intrigues you, there’s tons of additional artwork, writing, and short
comics that can be found on my perpetual work-in-progress Neocities website and
my ancient tumblr blog. There is quite a rabbit hole to go down, if you don’t
mind some bespoke coding jank.






I’ve decided to not run sponsored banner ads because in recent years, internet
advertising has become so aggressive and hostile to adblockers that frankly I’d
rather not contribute. The random banner in the sidebar is a selection of
projects I like and stuff I want to promote. If you hate looking at it, download
uBlock origin and use the element zapper on it. It is your right.






That being said, to be pragmatic, the only reason the comic gets made as fast as
it does is because I currently make enough income through my Patreon and store
to not need a second job. If you like what you see and you’ve got money burning
a hole in your pocket, consider tossing me a buck. Patreon supporters get the
perk of reading the pages before they go public. As of posting there is a
massive backlog of over one hundred twenty finished pages uploaded there, so if
you want some instant gratification it’s a great time for it.




But regardless of anything, thank you so much for reading! I’m excited to share
this comic with you, and I hope you’ll stick around for the ride. See you on
Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays!
