The other day I got a present in my inbox. Don Ahe, creator of the wonderful webcomic Road Apples Almanac, sent me a crossover comic strip, featuring characters from both of our comics. I am so excited to share this strip with Space Base 8 readers!
That second panel just cracks me up! And look at the third panel. See Cargo’s comforting hand on Lighthouse’s head? Isn’t that great? That is called cartooning, people. Do yourself a favor and visit Road Apples Almanac. Spend some time there and read a bunch of the strips. Heck, go read ‘em all, I already did a while ago. Â And look, I’m still smiling!
Thanks bunches, Don. I couldn’t be more flattered. No fooling.
It’s a Friday Rocketship sketch, everybody! ZzzoooOOOOooooommmmmmmm!

Friday is Rocketship Sketch Day at Space Base 8. The owner of this HotRoc painted custom flames on the nosecone to impress the chicks. I bet he pimped out the combustion chamber with a dual PX-38 forearm catalyst pack and upgraded the gas distribution lines with Neutrino Salacrotic radiation shields, too. Radical, Daddio.
Send me your latest rocketship sketch and I’ll put it up on the blog. Email spacebase8@gmail.com.

It’s Rocketship Friday, and as you can see we have some extra special Rocketship artwork today. You may have seen the artist Jande, “J.S.” Rowe’s work on her webcomic Aedre’s Firely, or maybe noticed her contributions to the comments section here on Space Base 8. This Spaceship is named The Rusty Cow. “She’s an interplanetary cargo scow I hope to incorporate into my Wheeler’s Orbits comic, which is on the boards for about 5 years from now, if I have it figured right.” personally, I can’t wait 5 years to see this comic. I’ll have to send Oril out into the future to check it out. Thanks, Jande, for a fantastic piece that I’m sure everyone will love!
