First of THREE updates this week. There will be another one by myself (already finished) tomorrow, and a third (also already finished) by Neil on Thursday.
Part of the fun of doing this comic is that the dimensional "crossover" idea is that it allows us to spotlight the breadth and diversity of the visions many individual webcomic authors are doing. Earlier in this series we showed GIRL GENIUS' Mechanicsburg.
This is something similar. I want to think Tom Slidell for permission to have GUNNERKRIGG COURT show up in a brief cameo. Readers familiar with that strip will know of the spooky Gillitie Woods, across the bridge from the Court, and its many strange inhabitants–especially Coyote and Muut of Native American myths. (Nevertheless, the Court appears to be in Europe.) GUNNERKRIGG COURT is a webcomic about a school that straddles the mystical and the super-scientific, with a moody atmosphere that is very appealing. It's the story of Antimony Carver and her many classmates and teachers and the entities they encounter. It's Neil Gaiman's favorite webcomic, with reason.
Mindmistress is being taken on a brief tour of some of more irrational and frightening places in the multiverse. Perhaps most scary to her is that there are places where rationality is NOT the wisest course. This is just the first place she ended up—briefly. The Smiling Man is giving her a progressive dip into the mystical and irrational.
Tomorrow, you'll see the last, most frightening place.
