Blue Milk Special just the way you like it
This weekend we’re heading up to the Big Apple to see Paul McCartney perform as the musical guest on Saturday Night Live. A big thank you to Weekend Update producer Scott Weinstein for thinking of Leanne the moment he knew Sir Paul McCartney agreed to appear. Paul is one of Leanne’s biggest heroes and the last time she saw him backstage she didn’t have the courage for more than an exchanged glance as she daringly walked on by. This time I’m going to be her chaperone… er… her fellow adventurer. I’ll do my best to encourage her to say hello, or chance a photo with him, if the opportunity presents itself. Seeing Leanne light up is what it’s all about!
It’s been a while, and it’s worth another plug… Scott is the writer of the excellent After School Agent, both a webcomic and print comic that you can check out here! We met Scott at Heroes Con in 2008 and he is one of the nicest people we’ve ever met. After School Agent is a story about the adventures of secret agent Gordon Levitch, who has to balance special missions with his school assignments, while keeping his super human abilities a secret from his family. Leanne illustrated an 8 page story for Scott which you can read here.
Spending the weekend in New York also meant that we had to work extra hard on Blue Milk Special to make sure we had Monday’s strip finished before we leave tomorrow. It’s a good one… at least, I think so. A certain fan base outside of Star Wars will love it. That’s all I’m going to say!
If you’re on Facebook with nothing to do, check out Retro Star Wars. I’ve joined them as an assistant admin and they regularly post great Star Wars photos and jokes.
A special thank you to Thomas from Germany, for the action figure trade! Here’s hoping his Blue Milk Special pinup will arrive soon! I now have an Ephant Mon to join Jabba’s Palace of weird and wonderful characters. If you are interested in trading a figure for a BMS print (we currently have two on offer), check out my want list below.
I am collecting specific figures from the mid-90s to present day. Unless otherwise noted, Power of the Force and Power of the Jedi figures are acceptable.

I always felt Vader fell on Purpose so that he could keep the conversation with Luke going. 😉
Yes, probably. There’s the small matter of his “AAAARRRGGHHHH!” Perhaps he’s a good actor? Seriously, though, we weren’t trying to make a point here. I just thought this would be funny. 🙂
Go Leanne! I’ve heard McCartney is super nice, so swallow those nerves and say hello to your hero. You’ll be glad you did.
…and accidents. Ha! 😀 Yeah, accidents are a killer.
Love how Luke just stands there, instead of running like Hell…
One of the best strips ever! And… visually great too.
You achieved so much with a small number of good quality graphics.
But very funny.
I read the scream as a Wilhelm scream. Is that right? It feels right.
At the in-law’s house right now. Will descend into the basement tomorrow to see if I can dig something up for you 🙂
Do you have secret merchandise ‘silos’ around the globe or something?
LOL! I think he does!
If I told you about them I would have to kill you.
With a red snaggletooth figure MoC.
Sorry folks – I forgot to mention your news about Saturday Night :O
You must be getting pretty excited now, I do hope you get to meet Paul McCartney! – and get a pic!
I’m thinking more of the demon horse’s laugh when the Pink Panther was trying to get to Anaheim.

I’ve got some sort fo Ben Kenobi that I picked up on a charity shop for 10c. Yours if you want it.
I’m not looking for a Ben Kenobi, but thanks for thinking of me! For the most part I’m looking for the more recent releases on my list. The 90s and early 2000s had some pretty poor articulation and likenesses, but in some cases they are the only modern versions of obscure characters. Eventually, I’ll post a photo of what I’m doing.
Okee-dokee Rod.
lol!
That helmet no doubt cuts down on peripheral vision some ;P
