Classic video games have very distinct smells. Q-Bert smells like cardboard boxes and Muppetflesh. Pac-Man smells like Kix cereal. And Dig Dug smells like topsoil and helium. Apsara has a very perceptive sense of smell and a long history of Atari addiction.

I drew this comic primarily because my human characters, Apsara and Laura, usually only appear in one panel because 1) they’re so much larger than the other characters and 2) I’m not as confident drawing actual humans. So this was a little exercise. On another note, after I drew this I realized that Laura’s expression in panel four is straight off the face of Phoebe from the webcomic Puck.
