Chapter 6 Prologue 6
Abt_Nihil on April 14, 2010
And that concludes the final prologue! The 6th chapter will touch on what's been happening in this and the past prologues and hopefully weave some loose strands together in a satisfying way, but I'd also appreciate your reading these as little standalone comics.
This particular prologue has most notably been influenced by Joe Kubert's work on TOR (a recent fav of mine), the current CONAN comic book series from Dark Horse, and (of course) 2001. Although unlike in 2001, it's not the discovery/invention of tools/weapons which speeds up evolution…
Thanks for reading and commenting!

DAJB: Haha! Well, I really should have featured the bone more prominently, but I only realized that when the page was done… ^^;
JNP: Oh no! I sacrificed nakedness for authenticity/believability… a mistake I swear I shall NEVER repeat!! :P
Best: Thank you very, very much. This is EXACTLY the kind of comment I always hope to get… because personally, I love stories which go over my head, but in which I can immerse myself… in which the complexity that goes over my head is not just a result of randomness, but of something meaningful and enigmatic which I hope to someday understand. And my greatest hope is that I can produce something like that myself.
alejkhan: Well, you're reading signifikat, so you'll HAVE to be smart (and have good taste)! :P
Nepath, Peipei, Zephyrion, mmm bacon0: Thanks!

Before I read your comments, I was going to say: "She's like the Monolith from 2001!" Of course she is. :P

I found this comic a couple of days ago, and I must say it's regularly impressed me as I've gone through the archives. You must put quite a bit of thought into you work, it goes right over my head, but I love it.

You passed up a chance to draw all these cave people naked?! I thought I knew who you were Abt... ... but you've changed :(

... and mankind has been drawing bare breasts on walls ever since! Love this page. Especially the bone referencing [i]2001[/i]!
