Why did this part take me so long to draw…? (Asking rhetorically; it’s mostly pacing issues and trying not to overcrowd my pages; 9 panels seems to be my go-to, though I was pushing this one at 14, 15 panels-ish) But yes, I’m finally onto the set-up part. Couldn’t fit in the growth sequence so that’ll be on the next page. Again, thank you to everyone for supporting this story…
As always, you can read all the previous parts altogether on the Poking Around Complete Collection. Or you can use the Poking Around tag.
TL Notes:
"Gap between dimensions": In reference to this.
