    Maybe it’s just me, but what is the first panel of? Who is the balding guy? Or will it be revealed later?

    I could let Susan explain it, or let the suspense ride out on future comics. . .

    but the long and the short of it?

    Podhelmet should need no explanation -

    that’s a board room (conference table, complete with obligatory water pitcher) for executives working at Lucasfilms (the pictures in the background, all of Princess Leia)

    Everyone who’s not Podhelmet are executives.

    Welcome to Episode Fun, Marc! Thanks for stopping by. I hope you enjoy the strips as they come out!

    Ah, I’m no good at explanations. I would have thought Podhelmet was self-explanatory. *sigh* I’m surprised that the shadow he cast was overlooked. Do I need to make the visual clues more obvious? Poodoo.

    List of characters:
    Podhelmet (can’t see or hear anything outside of his little helmet {world})
    Bald Executive (way overpaid, overfed, unappreciated)
    Sunglasses Executive (stoic, self-medicated)
    Curly Haired Executive (brilliant, ignored, endeavors to be the voice of reason)

    More to come…

    I didn’t miss the shadow at all -

    let me happily proclaim the flourishes you added that completely were not in my script to you -

    - the water pitcher and papers and such on the desk: visual cues that it is a board room
    - the pictures of Leia on the wall, under the spotlights as if they were priceless pieces of art: brilliant IMO
    - the shadow of Podhelmet’s approach: so funny, because was should be dramatic and ominous turns into something so much of a farce (hence: Sign of Things to Come)

    All good stuff! Of course I am completely biased here. :)
