Blue Milk Special

Continuing on our quest to milk Timothy Zahn’s “know a species by their art” gag for every penny, here is our latest, and officially the first strip from the actual Heir to the Empire book.

Heir to the Empire was a 1991 Star Wars novel by Timothy Zahn, and the first book in the Thrawn trilogy.

For our Blue Milk Special parody, we are primarily referencing the Dark Horse Comics adaptation and the visualized characters therein, with some influence from video games, as well as our typical made-up nonsense.

After eight years of parodying the Original Trilogy and some of the Expanded Universe material that took place in-between, we are finally able to dive head first into Heir to the Empire…
