I love these guys! The Ice Climbers have long been one/two of my favorite characters in Smash Bros, and I fully expect to see them once again in the next ones...provided the 3DS version doesn't have an issue with them. This is also the first comic where we zoom out a bit and can get a better sense of the space within this voting area--the design of the room was heavily inspired by my elementary school's cafeteria.

By this point, you might be wondering what my plans are for this little sub-series. Well, the truth is, I'm doing a small handful now, and hope to mix in a few more of them later down the line as individual comics, perhaps as more veterans get revealed. The pre-release hype is always an exciting time to be a Smash Bros fan, so these strips have been fun to do and wouldn't be possible in the past (when there wasn't a SSB game right on the horizon).

Sorry about the persistent site issues! We're still working on those...
