*Cheerily singing* “Mr. Sandman, bring me a dream…”
Woo! Punk Rock Cybertourism!
also, I like Mr Manager’s eyepiece.
Is that a reference to that Cybercircuitz asshole that keeps showing up on tumblr?
Yes. Yes it is.
Not sure what it says of our comic when even some lame spammy tumblr-bot can land a cameo in it.

I didn’t get the Sandman reference until I read the comments, I was about to start re-reading the archives to see if it was a character’s handle that I had missed. And speaking of handles, I really like that you tag characters that appears so you can see which comics they previously appeared in. I knew from the context of the conversation who NoK00l was but didn’t recognize Dreamspaece other that I felt like I had seen her before. I didn’t realize she had appeared at the Icebox.
It’d be a bit of a dig – Sandman was last mentioned here, although he made a brief appearance in Shitparade’s flashback panels.

yeah, I guess it can be hard to remember all the new characters appearing, especially with all the different clothing/lighting schemes going on >_> But this is definitely not their last appearance, so hopefully they’ll get more familiar as the comic goes on :) Oh and Sandman is a character’s handle in this case – but said character hasn’t been revealed yet! (UPD: Io replied at the same time as me, reminding us both that Sandman has been mentioned :p Still, until I draw their face, they’re not a real character just yet!)

It was easy to find his name drop in the memorial strip but when I went back and scoured shitparades flashback it took a few tries for me to find the reference to Sandman, very subtle. Looking forward to actually seeing him :)
MIT nerds in Russia? Wat.
They’re tourists! :D

Does no one have antivirus software installed?
The Stradanian VR scene loves to live life on the edge, apparently.

Besides, there is constantly new virii being crafted to exploit new loopholes.
What about those “crow” shirts? Specially the Unylsk one. Is that a symbol of the city?
yeah I think they’re pretty cool.
I guess the two designs are different enough that it might be a coincidence, but it’s funny for sure.
Not a coincidence :) Crows are like Stradania’s spirit animal (and occasional food source…) In retrospect, I should’ve probably kept those shirts looking the same.

You know, I’ve straight-up considered getting a Dreamspace tattoo on the side of my head. I wear a mohawk, but I figure if I decide I don’t like it anymore one day, I can just grow it out. I dunno, still thinking about it.
Well, please send us a picture if you do :D A few people had that idea but as far as I’m aware no one’s done it yet!

Did a lot of folks do it with the temporary tattoos?
Yea, I’m not quite that adventurous, I just have the pin on my motorcycle vest.
