Blamimations with Kris and Scott at PATV this Friday

On Christmas morning, everyone will get to see the first episode of Blamimations with Kris and Scott over at Penny Arcade. Sure, you can see episodes of their reality show right now. We know that. But will you see six minutes of Blamimation? No. No you won’t. I think it’s the only thing missing.
This will be resolved Friday when Scott and I shatter your eye sockets.
Let the countdown begin. 4.
…holy…freakin….crap….
Well written sir, well written.
My mind is spinning.
It been a long time since a comic made me go "Oh my G*d!"
Well done sir, well done.
Holy shitting holy of holies. My mind is BLOWN, sir, BLOWN.
My mind is so blown, it just started fusion reactions and has become akin to a tiny star.
Great. Now I'm not going to get any work done today because I'll be sitting at my desk, twiddling my lower lip in astonishment. Serves me right for checking the comic first thing in the morning, I suppose. Starslip: It's like coffee for your brain! (If coffee was heroin.)
Concerning the Comics: Oh my god. Kris. Oh my god.
I have a confession, back when you made the transition from Starslip Crisis to Starslip I often said the whole thing reeked of you brushing your continuity under the rug so you could do more stand alone stuff again without the baggage. I did not care for that very much as I thought you were don't amazing things with your universe.
But now. I owe you a huge apology, because now things seem to be paying off in a huge way. I will never doubt you and your comic-craft again my good sir.
I just needed to back away from it for a while because it was too thick and confusing. The museum aspect often lost people, and once the Future War started, it had the potential to get really off-putting.
But now there's a clean distinction between the two plots, so I can start to fold these pieces back in. The goal was to sweep some of it under the rug, but I never wanted to just kill it.
Wait, does this mean that the zoo, Jinxlets, XXXYYY, and the Chronormantic will be saved and exist in Starslip continuity? I sure hope so. These past few pages have been amazing, thank you so much. I do understand how to keep the strip open to the public and new readers the purpose of the continuity dump – I really like the new direction and all the new characters you've delved into – but a lot of your strength comes from powerful plotpoints given to these well flushed out characters.
Does this mean Holiday isn't pregnant?
This just keeps getting better and better, Kris!
so is this mind-blowing thing going to be daily, now? today's strip, Friday's strip, a Blamimation Christmas present…I think I gotta go lie down. well done, sir, and I look forward to all the intricacies of how this came to be.
Now you've gone and forced me to reread the entire archives. How could you?
FATHER?! Oh my goodness, that was awesome. I don't know what's going on, but whatever it is, I almost fell out of my chair.
Does the Chronomantic eventually travel back to the early 21st century and become Checkerboard Nightmare, or is the resemblance coincidental?
