The Men In The High Tower Part 8

Air Raid Robertson

on July 21, 2010

This strip concludes "The Men In The High Tower". I did my best to wrap up most of the plot points, but I left a few dangling intentionally. (And possibly a few others unintentionally)

The most obvious bit here is the identity of the villain who attempted to steal Kavi away with some evil clones. As you can no doubt infer, he is Ridley's father. I intended to introduce him in a story where he antagonizes Air Raid Robertson directly, but then I thought of this story.

It seemed to make sense to have him be the "villain as shadow" here. I liked the idea of having him be hiding behind a chair for most of the arc and then showing his face in the last panel. I thought it worked to make his first appearance more memorable.

Ridley's Dad will definitely be showing up again in a future storyline. I really enjoyed writing and drawing the evil clones, so I wouldn't rule out having them show up later on as well.

I'd like to take a moment to thank my sister for letting me borrow her Kavi character. I believe that I'm returning him to her in the same condition I got him in. From what I gathered I think she liked what I did with him here.

Next week I'll be doing something a little different from what I usually do with Air Raid Robertson. I hope you guys like it.
