[Edited: I had forgotten to add the dramatic lighting gag on a panel of page 61 (Can you believe it! What a dummy! You can actually kind of see the lighter come out of Dalia's sleeve and her grabbing it on the panels before but I forgot lmao... Anyway)]
Closing Time [61 - 67]
Or.
After the Ordeal.
Our heroes have faced every challenge this night has put in front of them in what has been their biggest adventure to date. Grocery shopping. And they have come on top of them gaining wisdom and in some cases love. Besides a pretty pair of kickass boots. Now they finally can go home where they'll rest, hang out, maybe get a bit high, and if there's time, see a really dumb movie.
Whatever…
Here it is! The final installment of my 12 pages comic that I started last year and ended up absolutely over doing.
Sorry for the wait between the last batch and this one. Believe it or not this is the batch I struggled the most with. I got a little stuck with page 62 I had to redraw it like 4 times, I knew I wanted a page explaining Diana's real life experiences while watching the circus and it started as a page, and then it turned into 2 and then 3 pages but it didn't worked for me because it almost felt like the ending of a Scooby Doo episode with all the gang explaining the evil landowner’s plan.
Especially because that made it harder to move into the Diana/Sylvie pages naturally. By the way I also had to rewrite a couple of times because I wasn't completely sure about their original dialogue.
A new character trait that I hadn't planned but came out spontaneously here is Dalia’s fondness for magic tricks. Originally it was to distract the band a bit so they don't get mad but now I feel that's a thing she does often.
And it did help to calm down the situation because the first encounter between the bohemians and the WornDown Children was chaotic. Luckily we didn't have to find out who would be the winner between the bear and the lion. Though I have already talked about who I would bet on.
One thing that bothers me about this comic is that it ended up on a non number of pages. But I do have a plan to fix this. I have a cover sketched and also there's a new extra page I'd like to add to it.
There's a couple of changes I want to do to it overall besides a Spanish version. I plan to do a big post with the whole thing for it to be easier to read fully.
After this the plan now is to make shorter comics for a while. I have already plan two, I don't know which one I will make first but it'll be either one titled “Play the Game” or another one titled “Our House”
