Page Commentary No. 124 (Patreon)

Gunwild: This guest page ad thing was drawn by Freeglass, who's really become a pro in the past couple years. You can check out his Twitter HERE. It has some nakie art on it, just in case you're at work or something. Any thoughts, Psu?

Psu: It's pretty nice, Freeglass's inking has definitely improved in the last few years too. This might actually be more sexual than our comic usually goes but that's the nature of advertising in the future right?

Gunwild: What do you mean "in the future?"

Psu: Fair. Anyway, you can see where Freeglass spent a lot of attention on the logo and the advert design. That kind of stuff really helps sell that it's part of the world. On the technical side of things, I remember Freeglass asked about how I do stars and clouds and stuff. That's my "cloudy" paintbrush in the background I think. So how do you feel about Cassiopeia using her likeness to sell things?

Gunwild: Oh, fine. She likes attention. I mean one of our very first ideas for Cassiopeia was someone selling bootleg merchandise of her that she couldn't do anything about because she's a criminal and all. It stands to reason that she would get in on the act herself, since the market's there and she enjoys having her picture taken. Also note, I didn't contribute much but the premise and what the text would be, Freeglass really took all that stuff above and beyond. (The "Talaria," by the way were the winged sandals of Hermes. You know, from the Goodyear logo.)

Psu: I never caught that.

Gunwild: I don't think you have to be ashamed of unfamiliarity with ancient mythological Hellenic divine footwear.

Psu: I mean, how many examples can there be? Sketchers? Adidas? Wait... I'm trying to make a joke here but is Adidas actually a mythology thing?

Gunwild: Nah I think (don't quote me on this) that it's one of those names made by slamming the founders' names together. Like "Vraxiopeia."

Psu: Works for me.
