Yours Truly, 2095
5 months ago
I know nobody was losing sleep over this last night. In fact, I know I didn't. But I've got a little bit of PTSD so I'm going to vent.
So you may have noticed the last two pics I uploaded here:

These model sheets mention that the newly revamped characters have "god-like powers." This is basically a concept I've had going back for DECADES. At various points it's been called "Silver Rainbow" or "The Battle or the War?" but it's never cohered into anything. I've commissioned stories and art based on the concept but as I've found it a bit dramatically lacking, I've never built on it. I tested the waters with "The Battle or the War?" but it got such a negative reaction from fans that I hid the whole thing away again.
But based on conversations I've had with an online friend, I've decided to give it one more go. The title, "Yours Truly, 2095," is borrowed from an ELO song and implies that this is in the future. In "Loonatics Unleashed" fashion, the Newshounds characters have manifested in the late 21st century with unbridled powers that they use for their own amusement -- kind of like Greek gods, really. There's a lot of toying with mortal lives and such, but in the end they can hit the reset button as they please.
The story ideas are basically inconsequential;
graveyardgreg did an excellent example for me that I hope he'll share, or let me share. There's no continuing arc or character development, it's just magical beings doing magical things episodically.
Thus, the point of this journal: this is NOT supplanting "Projection Edge." In fact, it's not even a minor focus, it's just "out there" in case I decide to do something trippy, causing a newbie to read it and go "Huh???!" "Projection Edge" does have all the character arcs, themes, plot ideas and epic storytelling I've always wanted to do. "Yours Truly, 2095" is just meant to be fun and playful and weird. And when I'm inspired to do something in this vein, I can share it, and the world can enjoy it within the context I've laid out here.
Thank you for coming to my TED talk. Please check out "Projection Edge" if you haven't already: http://projectionedge.thecomicseries.com is a good place to start for archive binging. "Projection Edge" is still going to be my masterpiece, if I have anything to say about it. This, on the other hand, will just be me letting off some fun steam.

Honestly, it shouldn't stop you,
I like your stories and your art. You should keep doing what you enjoy and share it with people.
Do what you like, keep being amazing as you naturally are.
In other words, when you need a break from Projection Edge, you've got something like Yours Truly, 2095 to get a rest and keep those creative muscles limber, and when you need a break from the screwball shenanigans of [iYT, 2095[/i], you can jump right back into PE.
Gopher it!
I'm reminded of the "Ohm" (sp?) in the revamped Newshounds webcomic/graphic novel of yours.
