S&S chapter 11 revisions!
Added 2017-08-29 09:42:59 +0000 UTCHey folks,
Just an update about the status of the comic.
So I made an error in the S&S chapter 11 script that's causing the story to veer sideways and lose focus. Instead of trying to retcon it later, I've decided to revise a couple of the previous pages (11-3 through 11-6) and completely scrap a few others (11-9 to 11-11). The old versions of the changed/deleted pages will likely be archived under "S&S extras".
Despite drawing this comic for 6 years, it's still a learning process and this wouldn't be the first time I stumbled and had to fix things. I will roll the story back to 11-8 and ask readers to re-read the rest of chapter 11 to take in the changes. It's not an ideal turn of events, but the best I can do. For the technically minded, I'm doing a "git rebase" of the comic ;)
While the comic is undergoing "renovation", I'll work on the next installment of the S&S crossover comics. Again I want to remind anyone who's not submitted a character to the cameo list yet to do so, at https://patreon.tigerknight.net/user/character
Curious about the changes? Well... (optional reading ahead)
Kiela losing the wheel of her cart is super inconvenient. They have to rely on a third party (bison dude) to ferry them to their next destination, which is unreliable (poop cart chase and impending crash & explosion) and takes WAY too long to play out. So, the fix for pages 11-3 to 11-6 is to have the cart intact (and minor dialogue changes). 11-9 onward will be the party (we should just refer to them as "Bapple's bunch of bumbling buddies" or "4B") leaving the lake and heading to town in an amusing fashion. Then we switch back over to the saga of the "bunneh King" and the chaos that develops.
It sounds like a minor change, but I could pack more satisfying humor in than in the past couple of pages. Though the poop cart explosion would still have been pretty funny especially when paired with an unsound effect.

Comments
As a writer who's had his characters hijack the story line and send it along the razor edge of disaster more than once I fully sympathize with you. If there's anything I can do to help, send me any cute female feline/vulpine/canid and I'll do anything unthinkable to help. Just address them to the Dark Center of Insanity and they'll be referred to me.
