Latest blog post: Update on the comic (2026-05-28)

Author's comment:

"Dawn" class motherships host biggest pressurized room by volume of any known space-borne construction.

Note as of 2025: The beginning of the comic is being redrawn, but only the Prologue chapter has been finished so far, so you'll see a difference in art quality after this page.

I'm assuming this is an O'Neill cylinder?

The idea is the same, the scale is much smaller.

That's some nice landscaping. It's an interesting idea, having sunwells set into the ground and shining across the volume rather than a sunline in the center shining outward.

This ship is clearly designed to be an actual mobile home rather than just a vehicle.

{blink, blink} Okay, that's just cool. :-)

TRIVIA
Before becoming a webcomic, Leaving The Cradle was initially developed as a modification for Source engine, back in 2007.
It was vastly different back then, much closer to the usual space opera look and feel, and the plot had nothing in common with the webcomic version, sharing only one character.
