Not sure if this spit take really works.  I’ll work on them in the future.

    Looks good, but try splattering a little more upwards. In my experience, the spray tends to be a pretty even spread.

  2. SaylorA says:

    Worked for me. I realized what it was instantly. 🙂

    After so many years together, Shauna still manages to leave Bob breathless and thirsty for more.

  4. BrickVoid says:

    It works for me, although it probably should’ve obscured his mic a little more, as suddenly spraying liquid out of your mouth does tend to have it shoot upwards and outwards a lot! 😀

      Also, Shauna should probably be looking at him whilst he’s doing it, that smile on her face is just too creepy for words! 😉

    Afterall, love and marriage go together like wheel and carriage.

  6. Pyradonis says:

    For the first split-second I thought his cup was disintegrating. 😀

  7. MTB says:

    the spit is a little to round.

  8. DaveBro says:

    It might be enhanced by whiting out his eyes (I’m thinking in MS Paint), then putting smaller black circles to indicate widening / surprise.

    The actual spray works.

    *realize

    And yeah, that spit-take works, but like Lord Vargonius and BrickVoid have mentioned, a little more upwards.

    I was immediately able to to tell that that was supposed to be a spit take, even before reading the annotation. So, at least for me, it DID work.

    I totally missed the spit, until I saw the commentary below the comic. I’m used to a rounded line indicating the trajectory of the spit, usually leading to the sound effect word, to indicate spits. Maybe you could see if that helps with comprehension?

    Hope it helps.

    I saw your comment about the spit take before the comic loaded. Spoiler! 😉

  13. Mike says:

    The spit take works but it’s a little foreshadowed by them never holding any drinks any other time.

  14. Warbeast says:

    That can’t be good for that console.

    Next on Lost in Space. How far will coffee send them.

    • BrickVoid says:

      With Shauna, the Chief Engineer who can turn a toaster into a warpdrive, right where they were originally headed! 😀 Maybe a little late, but in this comic, I’d expect anything Shauna is piloting to be pretty well-maintained! 😉

    I had posted a comment pointing out the typo in the fifth panel, what happened to it?
