Website hosting fees are becoming more expensive every year. Hosting fees used to be reasonable, but the market has changed to where the first year is fine, but after that fees start to soar, and changing hosts frequently is a tedious and time-consuming process. And, unfortunately, the site ads aren't covering it, they're only worth fractions of a cent in most cases. If you can, please consider a small donation to PopApostle with the PayPal button below...any amount is appreciated. Thank you!

If donations are strong enough, I will eliminate the site ads.
Besides the ongoing studies already progressing, coming soon to PopApostle, Space: 1999!

Didja Notice?

 

The large divot in the snow that Coe finds on page 3, panel 5 indicates that a time teleportation has occurred there.

 

The continent seen on the computer screen in panel 4 of page 7 is Antarctica. 

 

On page 12, panel 6, the Terminator identifies a rifle in a storage room of the Antarctic base as an L115A1. This is a real world sniper rifle model, but it does not look anything like the firearm seen here.

On page 17, "plonker" is a British slang term for a silly, foolish, or stupid person, used as an affectionate insult.

 

On page 19, "tosser" is a British slang term for a stupid, annoying, or obnoxious person, and is generally considered an offensive insult, derived from a vulgar term for masturbation.

 

Maggie picks up a radio broadcast from the BBC World Service on page 21.
