(PDF) Zooniverse: Larote Quoke Comic | Fil Barlow on Patreon

32 years ago, Larote Quoke warned you about a conspiracy. A hidden race playing both political sides behind the scenes as they maneuver ever closer to their goal of taking control of The Halls Of Record, a planet recording every conversation in the known Zooniverse. I've completely rewritten and redrawn this 7 page comic which is only available to my $5 supporters.

Thanks to my $10 sponsors for their support in helping me finish issue 3 of Zooniverse. The original 1986 comic is now remastered. New text, new color and fixes to art that I didn't have time to complete back in the day. It's almost a whole new comic!

In Memoriam for a Fillid Servant. Please don't eat the help.

Official Post from Fil Barlow: The Fillid race are refugees from their home planet in the Outer Rimworlds which was one of the early casualties of an unbridled mining boom.

In Memoriam 03: Clone-A-Grams | Fil Barlow on Patreon

In Memoriam for Clone-A-Grams, those disposable telepathic communication clones.

Official Post from Fil Barlow: They are all the same, so why should we care? Those telepathic message delivery systems that some times meet a grizzly end. Their DNA modified to give them enough intelligence to find their target and mentally project, or speak their assigned message directly to the cl...

In Memoriam 01: Belrins | Fil Barlow on Patreon

Sometimes my characters die in a story and I laugh a bit, but then I feel bad. They still live on, obviously on the page they are printed on, but I also have a soft spot for them. So I've been sketching the characters who died in my Zooniverse story as a way of honoring them, and as a sort of resurrection 'cos it's new art.

Official Post from Fil Barlow: There are often casualties in comics, incidentals who kick the bucket to move the plot along. These characters, who are often forgotten once the page has turned, or the book is closed. We take a moment to remember those Zoons who croaked during the telling of Fil Barlo...

Inking has begun on the new Gatcheralis story for Zooniverse. I did some calculations and it's been 21 years since 1995 when I did my last completed Zooniverse comic traditionally with pen & ink. Also the paper that I'm working on is the same paper I used for the original comic in 1984 so it's held…
