Julian likes fantasy comics. So he's collecting The Adventures of Sir Power, by Zero Hour.
Julian has a girlfriend.
Julian's girlfriend is Italian (Skadhi is a Martian colony full of Italian-speaking citizens).
Julian's girlfriend is also sort of a wannabe witch. And wary.
The painting on the wall is "Sea Flower", one of my sister's.
Worlbuilding detail a lot of people wouldn't notice, but I feel pedantic today: no communication delay between Earth and Mars. I don't think a galactic empire would last without easily accessible subspace communication technology. I could handwave it, but my brain actually keeps me awake at night thinking about how to bypass the laws of physics without actually breaking them.
Oh wow, you even included both the current and dickbutt design XD
I am "elusive and slightly off" on daily basis...
Julian!
Brother!
Well, I hope you don't have a paranoid girlfriend, at least. XD
Oh, yes. I think even centuries in the future, some people will still like to fill a library with things they like. So, there are downloadable single issues, and collector's editions. They have holo-everything else, so why not? :D
Yaaaasss for the Italian girlfriend! :D And lol @ "you've been there exactly one day, and you already look like roadkill" XD
I'm afraid the Italian version isn't equally inspired, but no one ever reads THAT.
I keep it just for those of my friends who don't know a word of English.
What she thinks:
"him smooching with some random girl"
Actual situation:
"Him putting some ice on his cheek because the punch."
Well, it was the only way I could sneak Sir Power in my comics.
