Stylistically, DCR is at the same point ATC was at with the first attempt at animal. Still working out the data structure, figuring out how to do a grayscale no-serious-shading comic, etceteras. It's going to take awhile- in some respects it's reinventing the wheel, but ATC pages take All Fucking Day and one of the major design goals of DCR is that I can do a comic and actually have a life.

Hah.

Another major design goal is to work with stuff I don't do in The Dualist. Like motion indicators, and a few other things I'm just not picking up at a pace I'm comfortable with.

That's an Anterior Research Station mug, and that's not soda in the glass. Allegheny Center water (at least the liquid that came out of the taps in Building Seven) was bubbly and had a smell that ranged anywhere from astringent to flatulent.
