Added 1 new A* page:NASA has just released the sharpest images yet of the surface of Pluto, taken by the New Horizons probe in its recent flyby of the dwarf planet: you can see a swath that ranges from cratered ice field (with multiple crust layers clearly visible in the impacted surface) to mountainous badlands (the mountains possibly being large blocks of ice that were "jostled and tumbled" into position) to glacial plain.

The Supermassive Holiday Sale is going on! That means half off all original A* art—$25 each, in most cases! (Oh! And I just remembered that the pencil-only art done for most pages in episodes 19 and 20 is normally $25 already, so you can now get those for just $12.50 during the sale.) Look for the gold "original art" link at the lower left corner as you browse through the comic. Here are a few watercolor paintings right from the pages of the latest story that have recently joined the sale—click these thumbnails to go to their art item pages:

Speaking of sharp images, this weekend I'll be going through and sharpening up the pages earlier in this episode to be as sharp as these last few pages—unless I get scared of the sharp edges and bail on it, like I did when this last came up, several episodes ago. : o But I'll also definitely be emailing out e-book download links to those folks supporting the comic through the A* Patreon campaign at the e-book level, and I got three more new reward pencil sketches done today, so I'll be mailing those off to some of the folks at the pencil sketch reward level; even though it's just sealing envelopes and trying not to mangle addresses with my bad handwriting, I always get a great deal of satisfaction out of putting those in the outgoing mail box. = )
