Seen the before and after... I think a bit of subtle smoldering on #4 would do wonders for clarity. And a bit of yellow on #5. But that's just IMO, it does look like fire.

Reading the description helped me get the joke. 😆 But, real talk, did Viv's leg get burned by the freaky-vampire-crotch-fire? Because a burn to the back of the knee sounds hella inconvenient....

Definitely fire! Gives new meaning to the term hot pants.

Managed to get it revised pretty quickly! Should look a lot better now.

Hey Alex! Should look a lot better now.

Fixed!

You and Neil are the patrons of the month. I shall place your usernames in a cute little frame and hang it in my studio.

Yay I helped! Boo I caused a panic
Jesuwig
2025-02-19 20:53:59 +0000 UTC
Oh you absolutely did, and it ended up saving the comic before it went public hahaha
Caroline Catlett Gates
2025-02-19 20:52:42 +0000 UTC
I appreciate the fix, wasn’t trying to cause a panic 😅
Jesuwig
2025-02-19 20:51:49 +0000 UTC
Okay, it should look like an actual fire now, haha.
Caroline Catlett Gates
2025-02-19 20:49:27 +0000 UTC
Should be a loooot better now, just updated the panel. Not perfect, but will have to do haha.

The 3rd Panel is me when my gf is cooking in undies and i am Just Standing there resisting the urge xD (the kitchen ist super small and i May Not Help :c)

Okay, finally got that final panel fixed! It should be swapped by the time the rest of y'all view this comic. :D

2025-02-19 20:30:53 +0000 UTC
Ha! Can you imagine.
Caroline Catlett Gates
2025-02-19 20:21:42 +0000 UTC
You could always just add a fun arrow that says "This is fire" lol

At first I thought Ellie had snapped Viv's leg and it was blood, then I thought it was a centipede burst. I had to read the title to get it. I think if there was some yellow and orange it would read more fire and less bloody 😅
Lynnie Beep
2025-02-19 19:57:15 +0000 UTC
Got a ton of suggestions here in the comments and in the chat, and working up to figuring out how to revise that without spending another 2 hours on the panel haha.
Caroline Catlett Gates
2025-02-19 19:56:52 +0000 UTC
A+ comic but yeah, like other people I feel like that last panel needs some clarification. Maybe just a change in how the fire looks?
Crackerjam
2025-02-19 19:52:19 +0000 UTC
I think if the flames were a little less blood red and more golden/orange, the joke would land immediately.

2025-02-19 19:45:26 +0000 UTC
Okay, good to know, that's about what the patrons in the chat are saying. I am going to considering moving that around before a public drop. Thanks!
Caroline Catlett Gates
2025-02-19 19:44:29 +0000 UTC
Ok I asked for a second opinion with zero context and I guess cause the fire overlaps with Viv's hamstring, it does look a bit like her hamstring spontaneously combusted/exploded. But once I said no, their next guess was 'centiboner', lol.
Alex Lilly
2025-02-19 19:43:43 +0000 UTC
I couldn't quite tell if that was blood, or Ellie suddenly unable to control a centipede burst/transition, or fire, but when I read the title I got it!
Lulu
2025-02-19 19:39:53 +0000 UTC
also, is this how they coined the term "hot pants" lol

2025-02-19 19:39:48 +0000 UTC
No, you're fine! I always encourage that. Getting a lot of insight over on the chat as well. I'm unable to revise it at this time, but they can't always be perfect, haha.
Caroline Catlett Gates
2025-02-19 19:36:45 +0000 UTC
i got it immediately once i realised it was fire and not blood ðŸ˜

Everyone is very divided in the chat on the last panel. Some are saying it clicked right away even without the title ref and some it did not land, haha. Still deciding if it'll go up publicly.
Caroline Catlett Gates
2025-02-19 19:32:18 +0000 UTC
I guess I'm the only one that read the caption and immediately understood what was happening? Lol. She was never gonna make it to the other leg.
Alex Lilly
2025-02-19 19:27:13 +0000 UTC
Sorry, that was unsolicited advice. My bad!
Daniel Gore
2025-02-19 19:21:27 +0000 UTC
Christ, fuck, haha. I am about to delete this.
Caroline Catlett Gates
2025-02-19 19:17:36 +0000 UTC
Oh no, I didn't get the punchline until I read your caption. Then I laughed 🤣

I placed it directly in front of her crotch and had hoped that would work. The dialog was also meant to imply she was already in a state before the last panel.
Win some, lose some!
Caroline Catlett Gates
2025-02-19 19:16:47 +0000 UTC
I think if you scooted Eli back a little further away it would make it more clear where the fire is coming from? Or if you had a single frame of smoke leaking from her pants before the fire explodes? Or if the fire had black smoke rather than red with red? It kinda looks like blood, on less that is what you were going for lol
Daniel Gore
2025-02-19 19:15:52 +0000 UTC
Also, there will never be a fart joke in my comics. Not really my style, haha.
Caroline Catlett Gates
2025-02-19 19:15:46 +0000 UTC
This isn't good. I had thought the second panel made it very clear what was happening to her, lol.
Caroline Catlett Gates
2025-02-19 19:15:15 +0000 UTC
Definitely my first thought

This comic is not translating right at all hahaha. Hell.
Caroline Catlett Gates
2025-02-19 19:12:45 +0000 UTC
Are y'all being funny or did I completely fuck up this comic haha
Caroline Catlett Gates
2025-02-19 19:12:13 +0000 UTC
Poor thing she tried lol

is this the fire crotch I've heard about?

Lol, what lmao. No that is not a fart.
Caroline Catlett Gates
2025-02-19 19:11:35 +0000 UTC
I definitely thought she just broke her leg and blood was shooting out at first. The "your sex is on fire" made what was actually happening click haha
