1 Serron 2: We're here from the future to rescue you.
1 Iki Piki: Some job you're doing...
2 Serron: Woohoo! That's great!
2 Iki Piki: What are you talking about? They got captured too!
3 Serron: But don't you realise what this means?
3 Iki Piki: We're going to be killed for our organs twice?
4 Serron: In the future, we find a time machine! Do you know what sort of cash we can make with that?!
4 Iki Piki 2: {to Serron 2} Remind me why I'm rescuing you again?

These scenes are actually faster to make than scenes with sky in the background. Photoshop's layering and semi-transparency tools are great for this sort of thing. It does mean, however, that I have to shoot twice as many photos.

2017-09-27 Rerun commentary: You have to pay careful attention to exactly which copy of each character is speaking here. The problem of course is that they use the same coloured speech bubbles as their future/past selves.

I wonder, how many readers of this comic see [space theme, pink coloured speech bubble] and immediately know it's Serron speaking? And similarly blue means Iki Piki, yellow is Paris, green is Spanners, and purple is Quercus? And so on for all the other themes?

I know most of the colours off by heart - but then I'm making the comics. I wonder how many of you recognise at least some of them, or even most of them.
