Idk what to put here-

Back with another gorgeous cover by Ondrej Hrdina, the Czech illustrator for the DCC books! This one is for Book 2, Carl's Doomsday Scenario. Just LOOK at the details!! Carl's sparkly feet, the Shield dome, the Molotov cocktail... *chef's kiss*

Eridian Doctor: We went through the human genome and found a bunch of places with old broken DNA repair mechanisms so we came up with a gene editing therapy that fixes them in order to extend your lifespan.

Grace: *flashbacks to when Rocky found out that humans can experience long term effects from lower doses of radiation exposure and Grace wasn't being as careful as he should have been back when they first met because he still thought this was gonna be a suicide mission*

Grace (internally): Oh, so cancer prevention! Got it!

Grace: Sounds good!

*like 100 years later*

Grace: Hey Rocky, how am I not dead yet?

first warm shower of his life, probably

rocky: can i come over and hang out with you

grace: but i already have my pajamas on

rocky: is grace still awake, question?

grace: no

rocky: damn

grace: i'm asleep

rocky: shit. i knew it

grace: shh, you're going to wake me up

Did I say I was working on a big project? Yes. What did I do instead? Make an animation of Virtual Insanity because it felt like the thing to do at the time…

Tbh I’m a sucker for human characters acting more animalistic- while reading this and seeing it play out in my head I knew I had to try and recreate it. At first I just planned on doing a drawing but I thought animating the impact would be a fun challenge, especially since I don’t animate too often-

When Rocky discovers how humans can just.. tune people out he is shocked and more importantly very annoyed because he’ll try to get Grace’s attention and half the time he’s just nodding along or just doesn’t answer while he’s doing something

So one day Grace is doing just that, barely nodding along while doing something on the laptop and Rocky has a thought; “loud noises wake up humans while they’re sleeping, could they also be used to snap them into focus?” Rocky tests his hypothesis with a loud whistle, and to Rocky’s utter delight Grace immediately snaps his head up and looks at Rocky with a confused expression.

So he starts using it when he wants Grace’s attention, repeating that same exact whistle with perfect volume and pitch, at first Grace is a bit annoyed but he usually forgets about it when Rocky starts talking, but slowly over time there’s barely a reaction, Infact, Grace starts reacting quicker and without thought.

Rocky, ever curious, sees if he can get Grace to associate other sounds with certain things. He’s sure it won’t work, but he’s bored out of his mind and well. For science!!

So whenever Grace eats, Rocky will make a barely audible clicking sound before hand and Grace doesn’t notice, after a week or two of this Rocky decides to test it out

So when Grace inevitably forgets to eat one day, instead of Rocky annoying Grace into doing it, he just does the clicking sound, he doesnt expect it to actually do anything but low and behold a moment later Grace looks up and says “huh. Hey Rocky I might take a break and go eat, wanna come?”

Rocky has to do everything in his power not to cackle evilly with his new found power
