Commander Jennifer Brinks stands before a mirror in her new Martian outfit. She says, "No clothes. Just decoration. Got it."

When you get invited to the party, but there's a dress code.

Meet Kirsheen!
Strength: Insightful
Flaw: kinda judgy
Worst Habit: acting like she's better than everyone else, which is often an insufferably correct evaluation.

Can you stand up to her scrutiny? Find out at garthft.com!

It will undoubtedly not be the same without you.

I missed AwesomeCon in DC last year but I’m thrilled to say I will be back March 13-15th at table i60 in the Artist Alley! I’ll see you there!

Comic page from A Polycule of Mars. Commander Brinks, Joshua Alvarez, and Sarah Cheong are finally reunited, and they are so happy to see each other again. At the same time, the Martians are shockingly uncomfortable with such naked displays of affection and emotion.

Oh good lord, they're touching.

Comic panel. Commander Brinks asks her crew, "Ok. But seriously, are clothes a thing or no?" Her crew only smile back at her.

Do you think Commander Brinks will ever get a satisfactory answer to her question?

Thank you! And welcome!

Cropped and censored image of the Martian Jhailee laying on her back, her hands making a heart shape over her chest. Text reads, "Happy Valentine's Day. Let's smooch under Phobos AND Deimos."

What's more romantic than smooching under the moon? Smooching under TWO MOONS!

Happy Valentine's to you from Mars.

Definitely need a refresher then! But we do have all our human astronauts in one place for the first time.

And yet, it's somehow even MORE complicated than that. XD

Comic page from A Polycule of Mars. Joshua Alvarez introduces Commander Brinks to the Martians Jhailee and Kirsheen. Brinks attempts to be diplomatic, but is too forward by Martian custom. Sarah Cheong returns with Darjoon and at long last the gang is all here.

Those of you who've been reading along will remember why a simple handshake evokes such a strong reaction on Mars.

It's not something I've considered since it usually strikes me as working at cross purposes to intentionally give up a tool as powerful as dialogue. But you certainly could do it. You'd have to be good at drawing expressions though.

The Martian Darjoon and the stranded astronaut Sarah Cheong walk alone through a Martian hallway. A quiet moment heavy with portent.

I love using silent panels like these. No dialogue needed. The art gives you everything you need to feel that beat of the story.

Mission Specialist Sarah Cheong floats in micro gravity, typing on a laptop. She bites her lower lip and says "Fuck, this is good."

Meet Mission Specialist Sarah Cheong.
Strength: Fearless
Flaw: Insatiable
Worst Habit: prone to writing erotic friend fiction.

Find Sarah and her fiction in A Polycule of Mars at garthft.com!

I just got the books from @totempole.bsky.social’s Kickstarter! They look amazing and are going to be a fantastic add to my collection of premium adult comics.

A comic page from A Polycule of Mars. Joshua Alvarez embraces and kisses Commander Brinks, rejoicing in her being alright after all. The Martians Jhailee and Kirsheen advert their eyes from such brazen public displays of emotion.

Seems that Commander Brinks and Mission Specialist Alvarez were more than JUST crewmates. Catch up or read ahead with A Polycule of Mars at garthft.com!

Cropped panel of a page of A Polycule of Mars. Joshua Alvarez and Commander Jennifer Brinks embrace in front of two Martian women. The edited dialogue reads, "You're back! With new pages and everything!"

Cover art of A Polycule of Mars #3. Commander Brinks is sensually wedged between her crewmate Joshua Alvarez and the Martian Darjoon. In the background, water falls cascade down fountains and ferns, creating billowing clouds of steam around the three characters.

This arc of A Polycule of Mars is going to be steamy!

Two humans stand in a sci-fi alien room. One of them is a naked black woman, the other a bespeckled Latino wearing nothing but a red Martian loincloth. The woman exclaims, "What are you wearing?" to which the man replies, "Oh this? Just some local threads."

Eventually, yes! After I finish drawing the pages.

A tall green Martian and two Earthlings--a black woman and a Latino in glasses--get handsy in what passes for a shower on Mars.

What's that? A Polycule of Mars is BACK? 🤯

Having used many a pencil in my youth, I can safely say that mechanical is the superior format.

I didn’t stick around long enough to notice the brand. Might have been a Kickstarter. I dunno.

I think it was supposed to be both an appeal to nostalgia and also “no one uses them cuz they suck so we made a good one.” Or something. Still such an absurd statement to open with.

An ad (for a mechanical pencil) starts off with “nobody uses mechanical pencils anymore…”

Well, we sure ain’t sitting here whittling our blackwings to a fine point, now are we?

What is this timeline?

A whole gang of holiday elves have themselves an orgy.

Merry Christmas! Y’all been good this year?

Just Got These In Today And Tbh I Loved It, I’ve Had My Eyes On This Series For A Minute. It Was A Great Story / Art / Characters & My Favorite Lustful n Comedic Elements.

BIG THANKS to the all-around creator: @garthft.bsky.social for not only making these books but shipping before the holidays 🙏🏾🙏🏾
