PANEL 1: The TESSKAN with the shorter tusk pushes the pilot aside and pushes a button. GRAND VOSS: “Hey! This here’s THE GRAND VOSS talkin’… Who is you in control a’ that there Continuum ship?” PANEL 2: The GRAND VOSS is pushed back, eyes bulge, as 3 bullets shoot in to his chest and stomach. Sound Effect: THOOT. THOOT. THOOT. PANLE 3: The ADMIRAL, with his uniform unbuttoned to show a holster, holds a smoking gun. PANEL 4: THE EMPEROR, rushes up to the ADMIRAL, still holding the gun. EMPEROR: Admiral, what in god’s name are you doing? That was my Voss! ADMIRAL: Sire, you don’t realize what danger we’re suddenly under. PANEL 5: The other, larger TESSKAN looks at the body of the GRAND VOSS laying on the ground, smoking. PANEL 6: The TESSKAN looks over his shoulder at the ADMIRAL (off panel). PANEL 7 (this panel is slightly over lapping panesl 6 and 8, smaller): Close up on the TESSKAN, snarling. PANEL 8: The TESSKAN rushes his target, mouth open in a roar, arms up in attack. Dark splatter and rush lines indicate violence. ——— Want to read the full story? Join us at Patreon.com/drive for the *FULL* Tales of the Drive archives, art giveaways, fun community, and more!

Pals!
There’s just THREE DAYS LEFT to get my new comics collection! It’s gonna be a dang delight: 240 page, all-color collection of my bestest comics from recent years. (And we’ve already unlocked two stretch goals to make it even better at no extra cost to you!) I’m super proud of this book — I know you’re gonna love it!

BUT! I’m not going to be printing a huge amount over and above the Kickstarter, so please don’t sleep on it! Get your book during the Kickstarter, pals!

So GET IT TOGETHER PICKLES…and get this book!

This book is gonna be CLASSY AS HECK. Check out the specs!

  • 240-page softcover book!
  • Printed in full color!
  • Dimensions: 8.5” x 9” (216mm x 229mm)
  • Weight: TBD, but it’s gonna be a hefty mamma-jamma at 240 pages!

This book is full of your favorite Sheldon strips: Nerdy pop culture jokes, heartfelt poems, Gramp’s coffee addiction, sassy ducks, and, of course…a whole lotta Pickles!

With lots of neat additional rewards and add-ons, there’s lots to see over at PicklesBook.com! Jump in now to make sure you don’t pull a Pickles and miss out!
