Grote Opdracht brides in tentacles
We have here a version of the same commission done by Rafael Suzarte and Lucy Fidelis, this time by another longtime contributor to Erotic Mad Science, Dark Vanessa. Her artistic inspiration of the story interesting fits neatly into an advancing narrative.
Naturally, there is a version of the same fictional news story in Spanish:
La tripulación que operaba un robot sumergible de salvamento cerca de la isla de Motofupo, en el Pacífico sudoccidental, descubrió la semana pasada la placa de identificación y otros escombros que supuestamente pertenecieron a un barco de vela holandés que naufragó hace más de un siglo. A principios de 1886, el Grote Opdracht zarpó de Rotterdam con varios cargamentos y pasajeros hacia las Indias Orientales holandesas. Hizo su última escala en el puerto de Singapur antes de navegar hacia el este con destino a las Islas Molucas. Nunca más se supo del barco. El hecho de que su placa de identificación se encontrase tan lejos de cualquier rumbo plausible que pudiera haber seguido, sugiere que pudo haber sido atrapado en una extraña tormenta tropical y arrastrado a una larga distancia antes de hundirse cerca de Motofupo. La pérdida del Grote Opdracht fue especialmente conmovedora, ya que entre sus pasajeros se encontraban varias jóvenes solteras holandesas y flamencas que viajaban al este para casarse con funcionarios coloniales holandeses que trabajaban en las Molucas. Esta tragedia fue el tema de una popular, aunque triste, balada holandesa de finales del siglo XIX, “Mijn geliefde meisje slaapt in de zuidelijke zee” (“Mi amada niña duerme en el mar del sur”).

Wheel of Misfortune, Page 1
We now begin our second mini-comic, Wheel of Misfortue, another television parody illustrated by longtime Erotic Mad Science contributor Dark Vanessa.
Bait now has a really permanent home
I am pleased to announce that my (very) graphic novella Bait has a permanent Internet Archive home:
Here is the link to the archive page, where you can download the whole graphic novel and all of its pendant art in either CBZ (a comic book archive format similar to ZIP) or as a single big PDF document. You can also read the comic in a nifty screen reader the archive provides (also embedded in small size above). The archive has also auto-converted my uploads into a variety of other formats. The completeness or reliability of these versions is a bit uncertain, but I would welcome reports from anyone who wants to look at them.
At 113 pages and with no fewer than five contributing artists, the assembly and uploading of this version of the comic was an unusual challenge, and it pleases me no end that this particular phase of the Bait project is now complete!

Another Noel Toy by Dark Vanessa
Another just-gorgeous image of the Chinese-American exotic dancer Noel Toy (1918-2003) done by my friend Dark Vanessa (you can see her first illustration here. A nice transition between chapters of Visiting Faculty! If you’re feeling generous, Vanessa has a Patreon page as well.

Dark Vanessa imagines Noel Toy
This image is a bit of a change of pace from Erotic Mad Science, but seems appropriate for Valentine’s Day, somehow. It’s Dark Vanessa’s re-imagining of the mid-century exotic dancer Noel Toy (1918-2003). Doesn’t she look just gorgeous? Dark Vanessa has another of her in the works…
