RIPPLES ACROSS TIME


OCTOBER 9, 2023

The general notion of a strip like this has gone back and forth in my head for
nearly a half-decade now. I've screwed around with characters in a room doing
exposition dumps, stock flashbacks, all manner of shit. The general timeline of
Gen Eric's backstory has been heavily workshopped to death, and a lot of what's
here is salad. If you can put up with the chaos, I hope you can find some humor
in what specific references I chose to run with.

The modified diagram of the plaque that went out into space on Pioneer 10 and 11
was made for an earlier draft of a strip with this general motif. It's part of
the reason the clock on the comic was dialed back from "today" to "1999
thereabouts." When I looked at when they were launching the Pioneer probes, I
realized there was no logical scenario for that modification to take place
unless either the comic was a period piece or Gen Eric was old.

I chose the asshole option and started writing alternate history.
