Being in a Crossover means you get to draw things you wouldn't normally. Like computer interfaces if you're doing a medieval-based fantasy comic:
![]()
To be precise, this is the SMOG2MAC interface - SMOG for "Semi-Mystical Otherworldly Gates", MAC for "BSD on a high-quality PC with an Intel Chip, formerly BSD on a PowerPC, formerly a once innovative but aging GUI on a PowerPC.". This SMOG2MAC program is a hacked/pirated version running in a virtual machine in a more conventional laptop PC, though, which is why the Apple logo has a worm in it.
The comic universes SMOG2MAC is streaming video from can just about be recognised at this stage of the drawing.

Thanks, Rich. I was actually toying with the idea of inviting you to do a brief crossover, but what with the schedule being very tight, I decided to write the YAFGC cameo-ing stuff into a single episode. Turned out pretty well, I think, but you'll see when it runs on the 28th.
