And so we return to the real reason you folks are here - Mark's artwork - which is looking mighty sharp and polychromatic,
if I may say so.
You'll note on this page that the Vorstellen Police HQ building has "Vorstellen Polizei" written on its side. Vorstellen
is a German word which can (roughly) mean "to imagine," "to signify," or "to put forward," and polizei is German for
"police."
The Vorstellen Police are the patrolmen of the imagination and the guardians of new meanings - in other words, the
memetics cops.

Welcome back, everyone! And welcome to part two of A Miracle of
Science. I'm your lead artist, Mark, and with my good friend DJ
Kilgannon over there on words we're more than ready to lay down some mad
science on you. In Chapter Two, our heroes will travel to many interesting
planets and moons, our main villain will make his presence known, and I am
assured there will be at least one space battle, so plenty of excitement
waiting in the wings there. On the art side, you may have noticed that the
comic is in color now. It's sort of an experiment; if it turns out to add
too much prep time, we may go back to black and white. But so far, so good.
I'd be interested to hear what people think of the new art style as the
chapter progresses; that big ol' email
button over there is always ready in case you want to throw in your
comments. Hint.
On a personal note, I just moved to Chicago (home of MoS's Vorstellen
Police) and I'd like to say I've personally scouted out the locations for
the comic here, except that wouldn't be true. All I can say is that the VP
headquarters is located somewhere near the western side of the Loop; beyond
that it's all rather hazy. I did look at the Sears Tower this afternoon so I
could draw it more accurately, though. Heh... well, I suppose this is not
actually relevant to the comic at all. I just wanted to brag.
