speaking of vacations in alternate dimensions...
If you could take a 1 week, all expense paid vacation to any space-traveling-ship (serenity, enterprise, millennium falcon, galactica, etc etc whichever) to kinda serve on the ship and help out, which ship would you choose, and what would you want to do?

MY ... GOD
magnificent question. brilliant. And it has taken me less than a second to know truthfully and with all my heart which it would absolutely be without a doubt.
The galaxy class USS Enterprise, NCC-1701-D. I'm assuming the ships crew would be included in the experience. Aside from missing out on some serious TLC with an on-board Vulcan, I would want to hang out with Data in the holodeck and go on crazy adventures discovering new life, cataloging it, getting infected by strange unknown space-related anomalies, then being cured at the last minute. I would want to learn fight moves from Warf, and play 3D chess with Picard, and join him and Dr. Crusher for breakfast. I would probably hit on Wesley, but only because brains turn me on.
I've always wanted to have a drink in that bar with Whoopie Goldberg too, and kick a Ferrengi for cheating at cards.
That is what I want to do more than anything in the entire universe. ^_^ thanks for asking!

I felt (and was gently winked to) ask the following on the forums:
whats the whole process for producing one week's comic? How long does it take... what order do things get done... what takes the most time... which part is the most annoying... ?

Excellent question! +1 kahrma point for you.
The process: -I get some stupid idea from something that happened to me, to a friend, or something i made up completely, and scramble around to find something to write it down on - I think about it some more and figure out how to work it into a comic, then do a rough of where the frames would be, major facial expressions, etc - Sometimes I'm not around my tablet and need to sketch it out on paper then scan it later. Once it's scanned and into photoshop, I outline everything in one layer, and color it all on another, add text, balloons, save, crop, then marvel at my work. (I rarely spell check)
I usually have a google doc with all the plot ideas written out in drafts. It kind of looks like a shitty screenplay. bullet points on what panel is what and who's saying what, and a note on what's happening around them.
This process can take anywhere from 1 to 4 hours from sketch to final image. Even more for the cooler, more complicated comics. The sketching probably takes the most time. The most annoying thing is realizing after the fact that I've outlined on the sketch layer and need to redo everything.
Another thing that takes forever is actually updating. The entire site is hand made by me, and I have to change the home page, comic index, comic pages, rss update, archive, and blog archive each time, and it's pretty annoying. I'm starting to look into Wordpress, but lack proper education in back-end shenanigans to get it started just yet.
I hope that answers your question(s)!!

In your humble opinion, is time linear or cyclical?

based on my amateur knowledge of physics/space-time/quantum mechanics/and interstellar space travel (which is based on sci entertainment like Fringe, Dr Who, Star Trek, Back to the Future, Conversations with my brother and boyfriend, the X-Files, and the magic school bus)... I feel like time is a linear cycle, not unlike a mobius strip, but also... very very complicated, and possibly tree-like if you were to look at alternate realities. Trees with mobius strips on each twig spurting off into more mobius strips.... ow... headache...

How many constellations can you identify in the night sky? Mostly winter or summer?

FYI holy cow the folder is red and on fire!
Constellations? mostly summer: cygnus, scorpio, orion, cephius, the dragon, casiopia, big dipper, little dipper, north star (not a constellation, i know), cancer, pegasus, the serpent, and in the right hemisphere, southern cross.
I think that's most of them... that i can name.
Ya know those little glow star stickers you got as a kid and stuck to your wall to make it like a sky instead of a ceiling when the lights were out? We made my room the winter constellations, and my brothers was summer. So... that's a lot of why i know constellations. Plus star gazing with mom and her telescope.
These are interesting (and non-comic related) questions!

Claire finds herself with a TARDIS. The timelord claims the TARDIS (for whatever reason) only has enough juice for two jumps through space in time. Assuming this is true, does Claire:
A. visit another space/time (if so, where/when??) and then jump back to present day
or
B. visit another space/time, and then visit another, knowing she cannot return (if so where/when would she end up??)
or
C. other
