I hear that smith is married to a local medicine woman of sharp tongue and fierce tobacco habit.

Extra long post to wrap this one up, both for pacing and because I missed yesterday. Starting tomorrow, Welcome to Oldbourne! Also, Allison starts drawing the comics by hand again, which is a refreshing visual style and also a hell of a throwback to mid-2000s webcomics. We'll get to see his style evolve over the next few years months (minus a quick jaunt back to the Illustrator style -- it'll only last a few weeks in real time) until it starts to reach what it was at the start of Bad Machinery.

When I originally published this book, the Oldbourne story wasn't in it. As you can see, it's drawn differently to most of the other stories. I kept the traditionally drawn story that followed it, because it looked a bit tidier, but this one was drawn with some pretty crude instruments and, in many places, looked like it. I didn't leave it out because I'd drawn parts of it with a felt tip pen, or because it was "a bit of a mess" story-wise, or even because it was my first attempt in a few years to get back to a more organic art style and, as a result, rough around the edges visually.

Oh all right, those are the reasons I left it out. But time heals all wounds. Imperfections viewed from a distance seem much smaller. When you've made 100 mistakes, each one seems huge. By the time you've made 10000 mistakes, what's another one? Ha ha!

So what you are about to read is one of the weirdest stories I ever wrote, in the midst of a lot of other weird stories because The Retribution Index is a weird book. Looking at it now, I can see that if I just re-wrote it almost completely, and redrew it, it would be probably the greatest comic story that I, or anybody else, has ever made.

On re-reading, I appear to be writing about some important issue or other, but I really can't tell what it is. Gentrification? Post-collegiate ennui? Perhaps you can tell me. I also find some of the outfits I drew in this story quite alarming. I have no idea about Shelley's hip-high disco flares or Amy's bizarre knitted purple thigh high socks. They make me feel quite seasick. I just drew them again and the logic did not become apparent.

I’ll be honest with you. I don’t know a lot about the serpent men. So I modelled them on the Shadows from Babylon 5. I figured it was exactly the same thing.

We assume that Glenn is referring to two Swiss balls. One to sit on while resting one’s thews during a quest, the other to trade for food, weapons, or information. Though the Swiss ball does not exist in the New Hyborian Age because Switzerland also does not exist. I cannot speak to the existence of yoga.
