Earth was a pain in the arse to draw, and I am not even sure that I got it right.
Been playing some Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order lately and I must say that the game really reminds me of both Bloodborne and the Ratchet & Clank series. Go to a planet, platform, fight some enemies, find some hidden treasures. It almost feels like when you travel to different asteroids and planets in R&C and look for golden bolts, RYNO Holoplans, and stuff. I like it, it also got me in the mood to rewatch the Mandalorian tv-series again. Nothing like some good sci-fi to brighten the day, which I guess most of us need in these trying times.

My copy if Jedi: Fallen Order arrived today, so I’m installing it on my PS4 as we speak (write? Read?). Got a lucky break and ordered it really cheap at a sale. More science fiction goodies for me to enjoy!
For today’s comic, I think you all know who Sergeant Heartmann is based upon. I toyed with the idea of giving him a mustache but in the end, I decided to do a straight-up caricature of the legendary R. Lee Ermey. His mannerism is a mix between Sergeant Hartman and the drill sergeant from Forrest Gump (Sergeant Sims?). Someone needed to get Kaz to take action, and what better role model than the memory of her hardass former superior officer?

The Lonesome Ghost (Cover) – Revamped
When I published the first pages of The Lonesome Ghost, back on the 18 of August 2015, I wrote:
“The first short story of Curly the cursed conman.
I can’t hardly [sic] believe it’s been almost over 4 years ago that I wrote this comic. Mostly as a therapeutic way get me [sic] hands working again, after a minor TIA stroke at the tender age of 23. I recently started the clean up of old comics, but it still rough stuff. Very well; “Git goin’ readin’ now peeps!” as Curly would put it!”
Well, a lot has happened since then, most of it art-wise. I finally decided to re-draw this comic and add some flourish to the manuscript. I know many of you readers want me to get on with the story and tell more about Curly’s background and why he is cursed in the first place. I will explore that subject soon, however, this particular story lies very close to heart and I just want to do it justice. So I sincerely hope that you all will have some patience and enjoy this re-telling as much as I am enjoying to re-draw it. I will also publish the originals here in the post as trivia.
So, let’s get started… again!
