Help Blue Milk Special!
We could really use your help, but first a note on the strip above.
Today’s strip plays with Chewie’s sudden blurting of useless information that could only benefit the sort of people who would not even be reading Shadows of the Empire in the first place. I noticed it in the Dark Horse comics adaptation. It actually occurs in a subsequent scene, but I, in my usual odd way, thought it would be funny if Chewie made a habit of stating the obvious. See the image on the right taken from the comic.
Okay, remember how we respect LucasFilm’s legal rights as owners of Star Wars by not selling collected works of Blue Milk Special etc? This is a choice we made and stand behind but, as a successful webcomic with a good amount of readers, we basically can make very little back on all that Leanne and I invest into the project. I know a lot of you want to support us but just don’t know how.
In the past, readers have helped us, either through donations, or by commissioning Leanne to draw sketch cards. But there are other, indirect ways that your pennies can help us. Leanne has recently debuted a sports pinup as a T-shirt and Print.
Now, we know that most of our readers won’t care about the Baltimore Orioles or Ravens, but we are hoping you can look beyond that and support Leanne by at least sharing the link with as many people as you possibly can.
If every one of you, at the very least, emails one friend, or shares the link on Twitter or Facebook, then it would go a very long way to possibly even making a small success out of Leanne’s work. And any success in our lives helps, especially with my worsening chronic nerve pain.
We know so many of you love to buy almost anything Star Wars related, and many of you probably don’t even realize how much material out there is infringing or outright illegal unlicensed work. Because we respect the license and laws, we hope you will respect that stance enough to go an extra mile for us.
Leanne was interviewed last week by Baltimore Magazine about her cute little “Your Turn” pinup. You can read the interview here. Please share the link to help us spread awareness of Leanne’s work.
Thank you so much to everyone that has helped spread the word so far! You are awesome people!
Am I the only one who’s seeing the bottom edge of the comic cut off?
Can you be more specific? Try refreshing / reloading the page, or clear out your temporary internet files / cache. You can also try right clicking on the image and selecting “open image in new tab”. When it load, hit refresh to reload it fully.
Was viewing on a mobile browser. Working now. Not sure what the problem was.
Just the fact that Chewie is speaking is hysterical!
I can see Chewie saying “I’m a very good driver, I drive in the driveway.”
Post the shirt to reddit. There’s a subreddit for pretty much every major city and sports team.
The link is on my blog. Hope it helps!
This made me laugh more than I think it should. I’m not sure who to congratulate.
Sent to the Baltimore fans I know. Also, just caught up on the archives since I have been lacking internets for a while…I feel like I’ve completed some Herculean task. Keep up the awesome work, and I hope the nerve issues abate for you.
I love the pleased look on Chewie’s face. And Leia is blushing – awwww!
Link is shared – good job on the interview!
I don’t really want to think about what green milk might be…
I haven’t read the Shadows of the Empire comic, but in the page posted it doesn’t seem as if Chewie is trying to inform anyone of anything they didn’t already know. Instead it seems to me as if he’s calling Leia on her transparent lie about the reason for why Han is worth any risk. Possibly even teasing her, what with that upwards stare into nothing. But of course C-3PO doesn’t get any nuances and responds to the literal meaning.
Leia: The Alliance needs him.
Chewie: And you love him.
C-3PO: Of course blah blah blah
Come on, the big walking carpet just wants Leia to be open and honest about her feelings. 🙂
Probably, but it doesn’t take away from the fun of Chewie stating the obvious in BMS.
I just realized that shirt has the Raven and Orioles on it. I know TONS of people who would buy that shirt, so I’ll be sure to convince them to grab one.
