Author's Commentary
Yes, these text boxes belong to yet another new character! I love having new characters show up, it's like having a party and all your best friends arrive without your even inviting them. They just know they should be there for you. Except the characters are from video games by ArkBite Games and instead of a party it's a "spritecomic".
Did you notice that this page has a whopping 9 panels? Not only is that the first time I've had an odd number of panels, it's also the most panels in a single page so far! Technology is powerful.
PS. The skeleton is not a character, they are just a skeleton.
PPS. I forgot to mention! This marks the last of the original series of my spritecomic, before I fell into a metamorphical ditch and it took me a really long time to get out. Or was it the problems with my router extension frying? Regardless, please look forward to brand new pages in the near future!

#10: Strange Green World
by MeetSlick
Panel 1: We have an establishing shot of a tall, light green tower complex on the top of a massive green hill. Bumpy terrain and more hills are visible in the background, fading into nothingness in the distance. A non-diegetic arrow is pointing towards the tower, about 3/4ths of the way up. An unknown voice narrates over the scene.
Unknown: "Continuing sector scan... Moving on to floor 43..."
Panel 2: There is a small dark green building, composing a single jail cell. Through the barred window we can see a skeleton inside. There is a road in front of the cell.
Unknown: "Skeleton in their cell is doing just fine."
Panel 3: A closeup of the cell. We can see a blue portal opening up next to the skeleton.
Unknown: "Wait, what's that?"
Panel 4: The portal continues to solidify. The skeleton starts becoming visually distorted from proximity to the portal.
Unknown: "Oh dear... I better head down there."
Panel 5: The portal is more visible than before, and the skeleton's distortion becomes extreme.
Panel 6: The portal is now so bright it illuminates the entire interior cell. The skeleton has vanished.
Panel 7: The Space Marine from comic #6 appears inside the portal. From comic #9, we infer that his name is Mike.
Mike: "Whoa!"
Panel 8: Mike hits the ground. The computer from comic #6 appears in the middle of the air.
Mike: "Oof!"
Panel 9: The computer lands on top of Mike with a loud "bonk".
Mike: "Ow!!"
