Welcome to Marooned
Hello and welcome to the first strip of “Marooned.” I designed these characters sometime in 2006, and played around with creating a strip. I finally seriously sat down in early 2007 and began drawing the strip to publish it as a webcomic.
The story is about a Captain landing the first manned mission on Mars, with the first fully artificially intelligent robot as his companion. As you can see, we have an immediate problem. And Captain John and ASIMOV don’t seem to get along real well… enjoy.

Update: The old original strip has been archived in favor of the updated one, but you can see the original here:

Ooh, controversy. I hope you’re not pulling a Lucas on your readers.
Of course now you are morally obliged to update all comics to be consistent with this one’s drawing style, and as far as I can tell so far this strip is consistent with no other in your archive save for the second - also remastered, I presume. Even the most recent entry uses a slightly less stylized style.
So now you just have to redo every single strip in your archive. Thank fate you didn’t make too many yet, eh?

I know, my style is still evolving even as I go back to fix these! Ah well, the main thing is trying to get some consistency - and I have a character problem back here I need to fix…
