PAGE SEVENTEEN. Interior TK421 Commercial Freightlifter.
I sort of envisioned this as the stowage class on the Titanic (foreshadowing?). Refugees, miners, and punk bands on the lam would use commercial transport as a cheap alternative to the more expensive mag-lev lines. Or the ultra-extravagant passenger liners, like the Cyclopean Wind mentioned here by Sam. Probably also a good mode of transport for the more nefarious types; I don’t think you need to go through a body scan to take this trip. Nic captures the gloomy, industrial feel of the cargo hold of this hauler perfectly. Not a environ Vexx is used to.
In webcomic news, the 2010 Webcomic List nominations are open. I’m not going to tell you who you should vote for ‘Best New Comic’, but if you’re involved in the comics/webcomics industry (there’s a webcomic industry?), I recommend voting for whichever comics you’ve enjoyed this year. I think the more nominations they get, the better it is for webcomics in general. I’m certainly no expert, but next week I’m going to compile my favorite webcomics of 2010, if you’re interested.

See ya next week,

Oh, and someone pointed out that there’s a noticeable lack of musical pairings this week. It should be something “road tripy.” Any ideas?
When I was younger My dad used to play lots of ABBA over the car tape player on long trips
Well, there’s Road Trippin’ by the Red Hot Chilli Peppers. I always loved strange pairings, mostly because when I watched The X-Files, they use to show you the most eerie things with simple tunes that made them even more creepy.

Classic road trip song in my catalogue: Ruby Soho by Rancid. Just for the line “Destination unknown!” sung with rebellious jubilence.
There’s a nice BSG “lived-in universe” feel to this one. I like the family in the right foreground
Umm Canned Heat .. is there another road trip song?

If I got it well, Vikki’s guitar is holographic so she is basically doing air guitar, just with more style.
Then, rather than using a guitar case, couldn’t she just turn it off and carry it in a bag?
By the way you guys do a great work, keep it up!
Wetcorps,
I think you’re pretty close. Vikki’s guitar has a small holo-field instead of traditional strings. So it still needs a case, just not extra strings (that she’d break anyway).
