Everybody who saw this coming, raise your hands. Well, really, can you blame them?
So, that’s HMS Iolanthe, Utopia Ltd.’s finest deep space exploration and trading ship. It’s from a couple of comics I did for Xxxenophile Presents, back a long time ago. They’re very NSFW, I’m afraid.
It’s too bad, ’cause those are two of my favorite comics. Ah well, I may post them sometime. I still have one whole “Utopia, Unlimited” strip that’s never seen the light of day.
Anyway, here’s Victoria telling a little about herself:
There’ll be more in the future.
Speaking of the future, the next strip may be late. I’m not only moving to a new place (where I’ll have more room to draw!), but rehearsals are starting for another play. I’ll do my best, because the next strip will have a BIG surprise for somebody. More than one somebody…
Wait, what? Talk about self gratification. I’m going to have to dig my Utopia Ltd’s out of the comic box.
You should. I consider Utopia, Unlimited II: Steel Venus, Queen of Hearts to be the best comic I ever wrote.
My copies of “Utopia Ltd” and “Lyssa and the Pirates” are always in the ready box, never in the storage boxes. So I never have to dig far to get them.
Charlie has always been in my top 5 of artists, ever since I found Utopia.
Aw, thanks, man. Utopia, Unlimited brought me about 10 times as many readers as the entire run of Lyssa and the Pirates.
Not sure why, though…

I…I have no words.
Okay, I do: Thank you for that!
Kirk 1: I can’t believe I kissed you!
Kirk 2: Must have been your life-long ambition…
Okay, my feet are back on solid ground. I *blush* never thought of paper-bound comics as fair game for webcomics. Once again you have proved the limits of my imagination–and I bless you for it. ^^
Just doing my job, citizen. Just doing my job.
I never thought about it. I guess, if I’m the creator of both, I can get away with cross referencing. I mean, I suppose I could reference one of Jessie’s awesome print comics. Who knows?
H.M.S. IOLANTHE, who hoo!!!
(H.M.S. stands for Have More S€X)
My signed copies of Charlie’s Utopia Ltd and Lysander and the pirates are protected. Although an Illustrator friend of mine did read the Utopia’s while visiting, although I suspect her husband was pleased that she did.)
I thought HMS stood for something different, but you may be on to something, Mike. After all, look at the registration number.
I hope her husband was pleased. I do these comics for the betterment of mankind, you know. I’d like to think that my work, ah, brought them closer together.
I love the third frame, you have the old and young faces beautifully. Classic!
Thank you! That was a lot of fun to draw. The two Eleanors, face to face.
Well, this scenario got a little more bizarre and a lot more awkward (especially if Edison remembers it later).
I’m sure she’ll get the edited version.
Though Larry is going to have to explain something that’s coming up in the next strip!
