We’re putting the finishing touches on The Electric Team #4, which we’ll be printing soon. In the meantime, check out this gorgeous cover by Sam Albert:

Today’s Tuesday, but there’s no new comic. (GASP) . . . how can this be?!? Basically, I got the schedule mixed up, and didn’t finish the script for page 151 until a couple of days ago, so I failed to get it to Sam in a timely manner, so she didn’t have time to draw the page. And it’s a page that requires two new character designs, and an elaborate setting . . . so it’s my fault. It’s all my fault.
The new page will be coming out on Friday, though, and it’s going to be a humdinger! Just wait ’til you lay your eyes on the lurid, larcenous Larzipan!
And I know what you’re thinking, I really should be more than a page ahead in the script. I usually am. I’m going to go ahead and blame the pneumonia, one last time, for getting almost everything in my life off track. I’m doing much better now, so I’ll be writing a bunch of pages soon, and we’ll avoid this kind of scheduling problem in the future.
In the meantime, please enjoy this drawing of dragonfly that Sam Albert did when she was in high school.

We’ve reached page 150! It’s a milestone! Wooo, let’s celebrate!
On page 150 we see Leaf Stone, who used to work for Major Ager, talking to someone mysterious over the radio. What Leaf Stone says here is correct–Major Ager made bad decisions, and if he’d only listened to her, he never would have lost. Poor Leaf Stone was loyal to this guy and, in retrospective, he was vain and not too bright.
(Side-note: Abi created and named Leaf Stone. The name “Leaf Stone,” for a female assistant to a villain, reminded me of Featherstone from Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon’s comic book series Preacher. This may have affected the way I imagined Leaf Stone, as someone who is highly competent but loyal to a despicable boss. Abi, for the record, has no knowledge of Preacher.)
As discussed a few pages ago, the Electric Team has taken down several villains off their list. But, let’s be honest, Commander McCarrot and Major Ager were both unimaginative despots. Soon, though, the Electric Team is going to be leveling up, and faced with a more dangerous class of villain. That voice on the radio has some ambitious plans, and those plans are going to cause the Electric Team some serious problems in the future.
