Good News for People Who Like Bad News

Dear False Positive Readers,
This is Ashley Walton, Mike’s sister and editor of False Positive. I have really terrible, awful news and a tiny bit of good news.
You might have noticed it’s been a couple years since we’ve posted anything on this website. Well, brace yourself for the saddest update I’ll ever share.
Cut to modern times, where we can see the man still pissing on strangers.
Those look like Roman Offficers. Hm, immortals? Maybe, or maybe the alien granted them wishes, when they ate it? Odd.
Dragging the capsule home musta been a bitch…provide central heating, but stunt the girl’s growth? Forests have grown but not the child, now an adult..
Soldiers now are searching for the missing son of the King, a scientific researcher…
enh, could be about 5 years of growth, about?
Isn’t that a Fiat parked by the front door in the last panel?
Made you look…
Haha, you did, actually. Because it wouldn’t be a totally unrealistic thing to suddenly pop up, given the usual weirdnesses.
Great job of having the the landscape change over time. It’s fun to just look over and see how things grew or got smaller.
I notice the trees seem bigger and healthier as well as more numerous. I guess aliens make very good fertilizer.
The interstellar traveler’s pod no doubt had some sort of means of preserving its passenger during the long voyage… perhaps its effect permeates the house and is keeping our heroes fit and ageless?
Also, it occurred to me that if the traveler’s kind had come to earth in earlier times, they could very well be the source of the Cyclops legends.
Quasilucid, your art and story plots are wonderfully interesting and entertaining, and imo you have tremendous talent. Have you considered doing longer-running stories for print media?
Thanks.
I do have some larger stories to tell. I have yet to settle on what to do with those tales.
So, no further mention of the second impact shown on page 5?
The first impact is the main ship and the second impact is the escape pod.
Ahhh . . . that would make sense. But still, I wonder what they recovered from that first crash, if anything.
Judging by the home and growth of plants, it seems many years have passed and the girl has not grown. I wonder if this is intentional.
It could be holding them in stasis, the man may not have aged either, you just can’t tell from his stature because he was already an adult.
I think the two have not aged at all because they are the God/Wanderer/Wayfarer and the scientist lady from Detained, and their Magicks are keeping them in stasis.
I doubt these two people are in any way related to Wayfarer/ Detained. This story seems to be about an ordinary Father/daughter who had an extraordinary experience. The whole point seems to be giving a credible possible interaction between an alien and a Spartan/ type soldier and his daughter. Second, MaCready, from Detained was a grown woman in modern times. She seemed to me to be a normal woman. This is a little girl from over 1,000 years ago who isn’t aging.
I think this might be more of a fountain of youth story.
Keep in mind also that Macready also had her ‘soul’ (consciousness/astral body/etheric double/etc) forcibly extracted. What that character is now, likely wouldn’t age – though anything is possible. As for the wayfarer, we’ve seen it inhabit a human body at least once.
That said, I don’t feel that this is a Wayfarer story either. I’m usually wrong about stuff like this, though.
Eating aliens are good for you. They are full of regenerative nanites 🙂
Ah, I see, isn’t it obvious. The alien they ate made them live longer, or at least froze their biological age.
I agree with you. I think eating the alien froze their age. Usually, false does not answer these questions for us which one of the things I love about Mr. Walton’s story telling. Here is a question that probably will go unanswered… is the alien still somehow alive even though it has been ingested?
That is a fantastic question.
