Replying to a redditor:

> Will the Moon Men ever prevail? Will Rocket Hat ever speak?

> The Emperor would tell you that Moon-Victory is inevitable. As for Rocket-Hat, he speaks often and does many exciting, action packed things. It just all happens out of frame, and I see no need for that to change.

Replying to a redditor:

> I'm curious what influences you've had on your 'look' for Basic Instructions. I realize that's a banal question, but I genuinely don't see much else out there anything like yours. The closest I could even think of would be ... Fox Trot?

> Originally it was a failed attempt to replicate airline safety cards. The two most similar comics in terms of appearance to mine would most likely be Red Meat and Wondermark.
