Splinter of the Mind’s Eye – Part 18
New to Blue Milk Special? Start reading from the beginning!
No, unfortunately this scene never happened in the book or comic adaptation. A shame really. It might have livened things up. Somehow, Bea Arthur really brings a lot to the character and now Halla/Ackmena seems to have taken on a life of her own in the strip. We will have to see where this goes as we pass the half way point in the Splinter of the Mind’s Eye story.
Looks like our final TopWebComics.com rank for the month of October was 39. We received over 2600 votes in the end. Thanks to everyone who took the moment to click to vote for us each day. We have uploaded a new incentive strip to kick off November’s round of voting. So, technically you’re getting two new strips today! Hope you like this concurrent storyline which has been developing over at Jabba’s town house or as I like to call it, Jabba’s place. No, I didn’t mean to say Jabba’s Palace. I meant, Jabba’s place, somewhere in Mos Eisley Spaceport. Hmmm… Jabba’s Place… sounds like a sitcom.
Just a reminder, if you like Leanne’s work on the strip then be sure to check out her other work in comics which can be found on her website: LeanneHannah.com. She’s also on Twitter talking about the Orioles, Doctor Who, or other random things.
We hope everyone had a happy Halloween. We had 3 trick or treaters. I had a feeling that would be all we’d get so I told the kids to go crazy with the candy and take as much as they dared. They didn’t take the whole bowl, which means I will be brushing my teeth even more diligently for the next few evenings. You know what I mean? Bring on Thanksgiving!
Apparently, if you're a straight guy, it really does pay to be a jawa.
First sorry I couldn’t help it please don’t eat me! but this strip was funny. pun intended!
After seeing today’s strip, and reading your commentary, I was prepared to write what might very well have been the most profound, insightful, and intelligent comment ever posted to a webcomic. And then I got to the Jawa picture.
The universe paused for a nanosecond to mourn its loss …
I’m gonna scroll back up now and enjoy that some more!
😉
Well i guess smoking dose get you something other than cancer (or hallucinations) .
You know, Han spent a lot of time at the Cantina where Halla/Ackmena worked, and he was probably pretty drunk on more than 1 occasion.
This wouldn’t be the first time Luke lost the opportunity to pick up his sloppy seconds, at least this time it wouldn’t be with a blood relative ;).
You disgust me! 😉
I love Luke’s face. You know he was considering it. Hell, I was considering it. Then I got to the jawa pic and my priorities straightened.
It helps that Leanne draws HAWTness… even if it’s a cartoon Bea Arthur!
I went to Bobakhan Toys in Everett, WA (look them up on Facebook) on Saturday where some of the 501st were on site to take pictures and hang out for the weekend. Why couldn’t they have a Padme like that one?!?!?!?
It was a lot of fun anyway. My jedi robes have not been completed yet, so I went with my Captain Sisko uniform. The store owners liked having some Star Trek representation.
Captain Sisko was an interesting character. A bit more three dimensional than some others with a bit of a dark side. I liked that. Still need to watch DS9 properly. Considering just watching highlight episodes rather than the whole series. Glad you had fun at the show. Photos?
Top Web Comics seemed to be down earlier today, so I just saw the incentive strip.
AWSOME!
Also current ranking # 23, not bad (your best yet I think).
I still predict you will be in the top 10 before the end of Empire, just as soon as I figure out how to more efficiently cheat the system (just kidding). The movie’s popularity, combined with the increased coverage you are getting, should pay off.
BTW I’ll have at least 4 character cartons done, and made, by Thursday, series II will follow in a few weeks.
Series III (if any) will depend on what response the first 8 cartons get.
Thanks T. I need photos of the completed cartons. I’ll only be putting up selected ones to start. The Stormtrooper, Vader, R2D2, Jawa, Boba. Can you shoot me a pic soon?
Thurs P.M. at the latest.
R2D2 is still being fixed (series II) but the others will be a go.
BTW do they celebrate Thanksgiving where you are from, or are you just going native?
I’ve seen it on a few British T.V. shows (such as “My Hero”) but I always thought it was mostly an American holiday (not too many Pilgrims, Indians and Turkeys over-seas).
Thanks dude. And only USA and Canada to my knowledge celebrate Thanksgiving. Perhaps some of the USA protectorates as well. The British Commonwealth outside of Canada doesn’t have a Thanksgiving. Christmas is the BIG one. I have embraced Thanksgiving since we get both Thanksgiving and the day after off work. That’s pretty awesome.
Did you know there’s a “blue milk myth”? Apparently, if a new mother drinks alcohol, her breast milk turns a shade of blue, and she’s not supposed to feed it to the baby! I found this at http://bluemilk.wordpress.com/about.
Yes, I had heard that the color can be affected by food or drink. I didn’t know it was a “myth”. Seriously though, if I saw blue milk in a glass I think I would pass.
The whole milk thing is weird. Cow milk. For human adults. I still loves me some milk, though.
I know. It makes no sense that we drink the milk of animals, but not of humans. As BMS Vader would say “So weird…”
Here you go : (its about the third one down) http://www.thesneeze.com/steve-dont-eat-it/
LOL. That blog post was hilarious! In fact, thanks for turning me on to that blog site. I almost want to share some of those on Facebook, but I’m concerned what impression that would give others about me. 😀
I feel like its appropriate ever since we found out where that blue milk comes from ;=.
By the way you posted at 11:38, thats awesome.
I love that site! I’ve scoured it. Laugh a minute.
Jawas know how to be smooth! Gonna make her scream “Utinni!” Bea Arthur on the prowl. This cougar is gonna get her luke!
They have meds for people with your condition. 😉
Fortunately mine is untreatable. 🙂
Yeah because yelling meesa in bed over and over is a major faux paux! lol
LOL Love it!
Ummm, I spent the last couple days trying to come up with something to say about this episode. But, well, words fail me. I can say Halla is becoming my favorite BMS character, and not just for the stripping. I can also say that I’ve been inspired for a punchline to one of my older jokes I haven’t implemented yet. I’ll keep y’all posted when I get it going. Thanks again. 🙂
That’s usually how it happens!
