I thought it was an excellent introduction. Having the seemingly regular deer be on a remote planet -- just because! -- is such a Jonas move. Hehe.
It could have been used as a technical excuse for why Space Deer is able to walk on two legs and talk, but apparently not, because all the other deer seem normal enough.
This is not a criticism but a compliment. I think, perhaps, when you get real comfortable with what you're doing, that you end up making those kinds of "just because" decisions that just feel right to you for whatever reason. Those kinds of "decisions" create wonder for the reader. I still remember that old page you did with Blackbeard and the spirit bear; that page was full of those "just because" "decisions", but you resonated with it and it resonated with me -- and still does.
I saw a couple of comments on Twitter saying that technically it shouldn't be "404 ERROR!" but "500-something..." If you changed that number, I'd argue that you might appease a couple of developers out there but the emotional resonance for you, me and countless others -- when it comes to that number -- would be lost.
My point with all of this, is just to say, I think:
hope you keep doing what feels right to you. It's the reason why all of these people started paying attention in the first place. So I'd invest in that, if I was you. ;)
So cool! Congratulations.

Woo! I'm happy for you, you got lots of cool stuff ahead! That's incredible. You both made a good thing *and* people liked it!
Very pleasing comic. I like how free the naked deer looks - like a child.
