Off Panel: SU #58

Yeah, I also had no idea that was cooking up a Titanic-themed variant cover for this arc... heh!

Sooo I don't want to get too "explaining the joke" here but apparently some people are mad because they took this strip as a dig against their favourite character and/or pairing, and that makes me sad because that was pretty much the opposite of my intention here. The idea is more that Blaze is annoyed that she's being portrayed as the typical fantasy magic-princess-who-has-to-be-rescued-by-her-true-love sort of thing. I don't really care about shipping or whatever here, but I do know that there are a lot of people who like the idea of Silver and Blaze as a couple. However, as they've never actually interacted or even met in the comics proper, I thought making Silver the "romantic prince" type here to Blaze's "fairytale princess" would be cute for those who like that pairing. Plus, adorkable Silver as this super suave prince-captain is fun. So much for that, I guess.

Gotta give props to Jen though for yet again nailing these alternate designs.
