Gunwild: Oh I like this one actually. Even if it does remind me I should learn to do... like, anything for my appearance, which I normally do not do.
Psu: I haven't tidied myself up all day. I've been kinda a lazy bum since Christmas! I haven't fixed my hair at all! Oh wait... this is literally the last time we see neat and tidy young man Kettering, isn't it?
Gunwild: Kinda yeah, but maybe he'll be back a bit now, since he's not a...

Terribly sorry this is taking so long. Psu wants to do a really good job but is not feeling well (does not appear to be COVID though so don't worry about that).
Is red the best diner booth color? I feel like it is...

Gunwild: I feel really bad for Nimoo on this page. Not just because of how sad he looks, but because no matter how you read his dialogue, he's just very sad at this injustice and I find that upsetting. On the plus side, that dude with the double trifocal goggles is stylin'.
Psu: These are some of the most emotional expressions I've done for any character in Cassiopeia Quinn, and they're all gloobs. I needed one character to keep his cool, and trifocal g...

Maddy's blinking reaction is a bit silly for this page, but it was a joke we couldn't fail to include. You'll see.

Gunwild: Ooo a heating element built right into the table for tea. That sounds convenient but I bet it needs a lot of safety features!
Psu: Well... if anything it could be a sort of smart induction plate which sorta uses magnets to heat up metal objects. It can stay pretty hot though, once the teapot has been lifted. So the surface would change color to indicate it's dangerous to touch. ANYWAY. I think besides some of the visuals like how Maddy keeps an...

I considered having this whole scene be silent so that I wouldn't have to write dialogue, but apparently the audience needs to "know what's happening" or something.

Man that's one packed booth. I would have assumed Farring would need half of it for his shoulders even if he was sitting alone!

Gunwild: SOON: we finally explain that damn sword. Still to remain unexplained: where I can get a fun holographic pointer like Theira's.
Psu: Can I settle for getting a cool friend like Theira who watches out for weird protrusions on your body?
Gunwild: Identifying your body's protrusions should between you and your doctor! Theira doesn't know how a LOT of things work.
Psu: Let alone the rules of tact about ...

Oh man, I wonder what they're gonna say.
No, seriously, I do, I am sure I'll end up rewriting it a bunch.

It's nice to send cards to people you like at the holidays. It is even nicer to think about what they consider appropriate to see on a card. It may not match up perfectly with what you're planning to do.
Gunwild: I've never actually seen "Who's the Boss?" and now I'm never gonna watch it because I dislike Scott Baio. But the title is the title it's gonna stay.
Psu: If you asked me, who’s the boss, I’m legally obligated to say Bruce Springsteen. It’s one of those things when you register to vote in New Jersey. Well... now that we have both those reference jokes out of the way...
Gunwild: Dr. Botz is never the type to...

Psu: This is silly but it’s one of my favorite pages.
Gunwild: So, SUBTLY, it has actually been canon for a long time that there's a classic actress named Marinette Drouilly in this setting. Little did the audience know that she's Lefyne's mom AND Talps's style icon.
Psu: Ah yeah. We haven’t really figured out a way to make that “deep lore” super clear. At least not short of taking a page to randomly cutaway to Lefyne’s ...

Gunwild: The self-disassembling punchy-gauntlet in the first panel is cool. I want one.
Psu: Speaking of the first panel, sorry to burst your bubble but I’m pretty sure we’re not going to ship Mercy and Botz.
Gunwild: Mercy's not a very romantic person... also I have no important or well-informed thoughts about police reform, but I will say that white club is pretty slick-looking.
Psu: It wouldn’t be v...

This is gonna be a bit of a complex one, looks like... some people would make fun of Theira for sitting at a booth by herself and eating three meals. But add a meal or two to that, and it sounds ideal to me!

Gunwild: Please, be easy on me, I haven't had a real sleep in three days.
Psu: I haven't had to easiest week either, to be honest! But man... we're already on this chapter! The whole sword thing just flew right by.
Gunwild: You enjoyed talking about it, it was the first sports manga you ever drew! But what kind of comic is this page?
Psu: A heist movie where we skip the whole scene where we get introduced to...

This comic has a Halloweeny image or two in it, despite it being after Halloween now, but that's intentional. More important is that it features... past Theira and Kettlehead? Huh?!

Gunwild: This is too serious, I just wanna know what kinda future candy is in that piñata.
Psu: I know we spent a lot more time discussing the emotional impact of this page, than we did what kinds of candy they put in there. At the very least, I imagine Zeke made sure there weren’t any alien candies. And probably made sure to separate any of the ones with nut...

We never know what kind of theme to give a pinup in November. Uh, this one totally culturally suits what Vanaa do in this season, though. Trust me, it does, it's just... it's so complicated that it would be hard to explain! Yeah, that's it!
Plus hundreds of other...

Gunwild: Those foil-wrapped chocolate coins or candy gelt or whatever you call them are never very good. But as decorations for a treasure chest cake? They're fantastic. Good thinking.
Psu: I sometimes don't appreciate how smart and funny this comic can be sometimes. But I gotta mention, I always thought it was "Who nobody can deny." Gunwild has a knack for old songs and englishy things that I never even knew about.
Gunwild: It is...

Gunwild: "Character something momentous is happening to who doesn't realize its significance" is Psu's favorite.
Psu: It's pretty good! This is kinda a favorite page, though looking at it now there are a couple things I'd want to fix up. That said, this is probably the most closeups we've done in a single Cassiopeia page so far.
Gunwild: Guess we should have me write eleven-panel pages every time!
Psu: No. B...
