Star Strip page 82

Only a page remains in the buffer and still no desire to take any more pictures. I am not very happy with the story right now. The graphics are coming out good and I'm pleased with the effects I'm getting. Here is one of my attempts at character interaction but it probably falls flat and it's all dolls and boobs.
I worked on the dialogue here re-writing it again and again and trying to get the most information in without long speeches. Also I had to figure out how Nakkar would gain Aura's trust in one page. I already knew that Aura had children and is older than she seems. This was hinted a few pages back that Aordians and Diamorians age slower. So I came up with a back-story about why Nakkar had fled Diamorian space. For her children.
The Aordians and Diamorians generally have wars about every other generation or so and it's been like that for thousands of years. The last war was the worst in a thousand years and had led her to swear that her children would not be in the next one.
For the record Aura has two pre-teen children and Nakkar has three with the oldest being a teen. Jenny has one girl. Aordian and Diamorian family life is different from ours with the distances of space making long separations common. But both have large extended families that extended lives make possible with great-great-grandparents commonly still being active and available. It should be remembered that Aordian culture does not have the contractual exclusive pairing and sharing of property that we call marriage.

lol I missed this page too - not sure how... Anyway... I sometimes don't really get what you're trying to accomplish with this story... If I just read the story itself it's whacky and zany with lots of visual and verbal gags and if that's the purpose it's worked great - it's been a fun read...! But then with all the background and your author notes; it's clear you've given lots of thought to the construction of 'Universe' with its history and well-crafted cultural interactions... so sometimes it seems you want it to be more serious but just can't help yourself with comedy aspects... The comics feels like it has an MPD sometimes :D Regardless - I've enjoyed it (and the sets you've created are something to behold) so it'd be disappointing to see it end...!

And this page flies like a lead zeppelin. Guess no one notices me posting it. I finished two pages so it'll go on for another week.

Good stuff! You squeezed a lot of characterization into one page.
