#64: Roll Call

Quite the big’un. I think some of the stuff in here might not come across the way I wanted… Oh well!

    Moon seems to be having the time of his life, despite hearing about Earth’s misery. He just keeps smiling.

    howcome jupiter doesn’t have a face? will we ever see it? btw, i love orbit!! 8DDD

  3. noirakita

    Just found your comic and love it! Will we ever get to see Uranus though? and NixFan is right, does Jupiter have a face? and why doesn’t Mars talk to his moons, Phobos and Deimos? Just curious! Keep up the good work!

    Sylvia: He’s probably hearing music actually. And who knows what else.
    NixFan/noirakita: Thanks for the kind words, guys! And those are very good questions, haha. That 6th panel is supposed to imply that Uranus is out there somewhere, not forgotten, but I guess that didn’t really come through. Maybe I’ll reword it.
    As for Jupiter, my rationalization is that he’s turned around, but it’s more laziness than anything. I’m pretty sure you got to see his eye near the beginning. That’s enough, right? *cough*
    And as for Mars and his moons… I didn’t want it to get overcrowded with characters. But…that happened anyway, didn’t it? Oh, me.

    Poor Jupiter….I bet he spends his time daydreaming about ways his moons will die. XD Daddy Jupiter and all his little moon children…yeah…I’d kill myself…

    I thought panel 6 was a wink-tease at the commenters for wanting to see Uranus.

    Also, I’d like to think Phobos and Deimos aren’t sentient. Only round celestial bodies seem to talk in the Orbit canon, and roundness comes from sufficient size–which works out well, since if astronomers find new moons, they’d be too small to be round and Orbit won’t have to include them.

    Your first crackpot fan theory! Aren’t you excited?

    • Johnny

      Haha, yes! That’s exactly what I wanted with panel 6. I’m glad someone got it…nice!

      …Very excited! This storyline is so close to LOST anyway, right?

        The reply post colors are kind of hard to read with white on gray.

    Oh! I didn’t realize that was Jupes that Comet was showing his vacation clips on. thought it was the Sun. Silly Me. So yeah, I guess Jupes does have eyes!

    I kind of got that about panel 6 but still…come on, man! Wanna see one of my personal favorite planets! He’s gotta be messed up right? He’s turn sidewise and stuff? More so than Neptune, right? RIGHT? haha

    As to other moons, I mean, you already have Nix and Charon and Hydra…personally, I had to look Nix and Hydra up…I’m behind on my astronomy, didn’t even know about them. But it’s your comic. Kazyan does have a point, Phobos and Deimos are kinda lumpy. maybe his crackpot theory is right! Although I could see Moon trying to make friends with them, and then making fun of their lumpiness or something. hehehe. I do like how you show Jupes moons as kind of a collective mind. they are funny.

    Does anyo e else imagine Saturn singing “I’m bringing sexy back”?
