Bah-hah! I actually had to ask Google what you were talking about. I’m pretty sure I’ve never heard that Jethro Tull song before, but that’s the temporary Descender theme song. Also, thanks for reminding me about this Jonathan Lethem article that joyfully humps the definition of plagiarism.
Summary for the visually impaired (and possible help for the confused):
The circle guy with the eye scar is sits at a console gesticulating in alarm, “we lost our retros NO WAY TO SLOW DAAAOWNN!” An exterior view shows his ship amongst the spindly towers while he says, “Fuck it! We can still make it!” He pumps his fist in triumph, “Ha ha ha ha! There she is!” then his little ship collides side-on with the nose section of a larger ship, recognizable as the damaged, trilobite-shaped NIMBY Maintenance Vehicle, last seen in episode #18.
NIMBY Maintenance Vehicle – A trilobite-shaped ship on which our amnesiac hero arrived. The Pink Thing depicts it crashing into one of the towers in episode 17. In #56 we see that it is still next to the tower, possibly docked, showing obvious damage, as there is a hole in the dorsal area from which smoke emanates.
Emergency Vehicle – The jello mould-shaped ship in which the circle guys left the original setting (#39). In episode #49 our hero leaps through its hull and in #52-54 is expelled from the ship in a blob of pus. In episode 56 the EV crashed into the front of the already damaged NIMBY Maintenance Vehicle.
oh and i cant explain how much i love your flying v painting in the gallery section. the shadow of the ship appears unstable, and tends to shift. CLEARLY I AM DREAMING
Hey Riotlads and lasses! I’ve been stuck in an Internet deadzone since moving into a new place, but I’m looking forward to resuming regular updates in about a week’s time, and August will see the return of comics’ sweatiest mind fuck, and I don’t mean the latest Leonardo DiCaprio flick (seriously, is it just me or is he the new Keanu Reeves?)
One day your eggs are going to hatch, and some very strange birds are going to emerge…
Descender stole the handle, and it seems we lost our retros NO WAY TO SLOW DAAAOWNN!
