Thanks, guys! Nope, not from anything. Somewhat inspired by Spaceman Spiff, but I tried not to stick too closely to that. In my earlier drafts, the ship was crash landing instead of blasting off.
Yeah, totally felt Calvin and Hobbes here. Interestingly tho, I think that's more based on the nice clean panel composition than it is the look of the art. (Also, I can't help but notice the alarming lack of a tiger.)
Nice job dude. What weight pencils do you typically draw with? Are you smudging to get this look?
I just use a regular old pencil -- one that happens to have pictures of Snoopy on it (and a nice pine scent when I sharpen it!). Feels like an HB or 2B. And I don't usually smudge (on purpose), but I did a bit this time to smooth out the space background.

This is a great slice of story! I just KNOW there's more to it. Great composition!
I love the panels. I wanna be that kid. Is this from something, or does it just look like it?

three words come to mind: danger, fun, and accomplishment!
