The Sci-Fi Comic Strip

This week: fading Yada. This week's Sev Wars cartoon was inspired by the earlier dead Quaff-Down Gin cartoon - this time we look at Yada fading after death

Other Punchlines

These comics are created from the winning entries of The Sci-Fi Movie Cartoon Contest - the winning punchline is chosen in the weekly IRC Judging Session. The winning entry was written by Sesspit (formally sess-pity). You can read the transcript of the IRC session where we decided the winner of all the competitions as well as the finalist punchlines and Punchlines of the Day.

If I hear your voice in my head saying "Use The Farce, Lube" just once, I'm coming back here with my ship and slagging this hut.

cheap fade outs, grumble grumble

Okay, I think we have used the fade effect enough.
