I liked it.

APPLAUDS!!

thank you very much for a great story. When you have it in a comic, I'll be at the head of the line.

Got a tipjar?

Commodore eh? Good for her.

She looks so nice... Accomplished and strong of presence. The Iron bunny.

Yes, Did like it. will this be offered as a TPB?

Take a bow good sir. You wrapped that up quite nicely. Prep the shadow fish. Its time to take a swim ^^

Is that an eye patch the old man is sporting?

Complications and infections related to his head injury finally took the eye

This was wonderful.

Great story, thank you for the telling!!

Thank you! A very interesting story about interpersonal relationships, which has always been the core of your work that I've seen. Delightful to read this one as it went!

So that little batch of desperate survival work eventually developed into a full-scale research institute and a project to make sandy areas productive? Nice.

That's a good, happy ending to it all. I must confess I followed the story because the writing was good, and the little scribbles along the way kept me eagerly waiting for the next page.

Superbly done, and I loved it.

Thank you, I loved it.

Aaannnd that's a wrap.

Thanks for a fun story. If you have plans on finishing up the art and publishing a dead tree edition, I'll buy a copy.
Maybe with a commentary at the end with all the extra bits about the empire and federals.

a hard copy may happen eventually. I'd more likely have an addendum that showed the evolution of the story and players

If it does happen, I'd love to know about it.

A very good story and nicely rounded off at the end. Bravo!
I excitedly await your next tale.

Loved it. It was very nice to see Jerome and Danni meet up again.

Congratulations for your work, Mr. Gallacci! It was a very good story and a very good one, and the ending was a very charming one.

Bravo!!! Wonderful tale played excellently!

Awww. Perfect.

A very nice read.
It only take a pebble to start an avalanche...

Even if I weren't sentimental, I would shed a tear at seeing them meet up again.

I'm hoping that it isn't (technically) over, because the sketches really would look better with at least a little inking. But even if it is, it was a magnificent story, and worth all the praise that the readers have given you (and then some).

I really did enjoy this and would buy it as a book if you were to finalize it. I am also glad that it had a conclusion.

So, Dannis' on for posting her flag...

She sure has been busy!

Very nice, thank you again for an interesting tale.

Nice.

Time for a well-earned island vacation to relax for those two...

So, Danni gets her Flag, Jerom gets a honorable retirement with tenure, a long as he stays on the island, and keeps to the "party line".
Why do I see the Emperors fine hand in this??? Stories within stories here. Great, and I hope that we will see a "dead tree", or at least an E-book, version at some time in the future. Would definitely be on my buy list.
Next???? The women's Zep stories??? Coyote Sisters??? Fennecs???? Er... Rabbits and mice in space????

Not exactly. The Imperial Army does begin an R&D project, and to settle nerves and foster better international relationships, works to make the area an international/uncontested site. As there are all kinds of little islands in the Great Ocean that have some development potential, public/private funding and support changed it from a field test site to a full-on campus. Only then was Jerom invited back, mostly as a symbolic gesture, as he has not much in real academic chops, but he does have a knack for recycling/repurposing and lectures on creative adaption. He isn't big on creative horticulture, no special breeding or anything like that, but he does get into how to create favorable conditions for delicate or difficult types with minimal, low tech solutions

A classic JOAT, in other words.

BTW, Danni looks sharp!!!

A wonderful fascinating story of ingenuity, compassion, determination--and redemption. Thank you very much.

Great story! So glad Jerom and Danni got the happy ending they deserved.

(applause)

Ah…nice one.

Very good.

I'll enjoy reading the hard-copy.

loved the story I just hope you eventually go back and line it, maybe color it as well XD

(* sigh *) Almost sorry to see it come to an end. It's a very good -- even great story. I might have done a few details differently (putting Danni in charge of the Empire's part of Jerom's project, might have been a neat twist) but I certainly couldn't have improved it. Bravo! Awaiting publication.

I dunno, a merely competent story, and has the small virtue of having an ending. Having Danni involved would be something I'd actively avoid, as in most military organizations personell get rotated around to both "spread the wealth" of experinace and avoid getting too cozy into any one situation. (a lapse in Star Trek, as a real situation would churn the whole crew in and out in just a few years) So Danni would more likely have a wide ranging career.

Huh. From being stuck on the island, to living on the island. physically, they might as well be the same thing, but psychologically, big difference. what a twist.

Ayy, do you still plan on making pages for this?

Good question. No good answer yet. Going to Australia in the new year, might get this into a dead tree form to have on hand.

This last page has the potential for a follow on .... After Jerom shows Danni around the island, he asks her what she has been doing, and she shows him. A Colliers/Von Braun style space program and she asks him if he would like to help set up a moon colony. Just a wild vision from your model building projects. THE COLONEL
