Drums of War — Eternal Beach City

Fun fact: The pink haired lil’ fella is actually Patreon subscriber and femboy Alexis who subscribed to the top tier which entitles one to an appearance in a comic of my discretion. Hope ya like it, Alexis! Very much appreciate the support! ❤️

And while I’m at it, I very much appreciate the support of everyone who enjoys my work whether you subscribe or not! Though, is that sentiment devaluing the appreciation owed to those who do subscribe? I don’t wanna do that<...

Truth in Daring — Eternal Beach City

I wasn’t planning to talk about the minutia of the “production” process for this particular comic. I’m only comfortable bringing it up because of how much it didn’t pan out. I was really excited about the idea of getting an “in camera” reflection of the teller in the fourth panel. I set up this whole rig you see here. It almost worked exactly as intended, but I foolishly thought the camera on my iPhone would be high enough quality to capture not only the reflec...

The Dead of M Night — Eternal Beach City

Where did the “unfinished business” concept for ghosts ever start anyway? Ya know, that the reason someone is a ghost on earth and not in some afterlife somewhere is that their “business” is “unfinished”.

What about people whose business is something terrible? Does that still count? Or what if it’s like… hang-gliding? Are there any ghost rules that are really hold up? This is why I don’t believe in ghosts. Plot holes.

Raceplaying with Fire — Eternal Beach City

To be clear, I don’t actually know if a white girl wearing a black strap-on is racist or not. I’m also not 100% sure if “strap-on” is hyphenated. And if it wasn’t for auto-correct, I definitely wouldn’t know how to spell “hyphenated”. The point is, there’s a lot I don’t know, but there’s one thing I do know…

Ya know, that last sentence there just felt so natural and fitting in the escalation of the paragraph that I just kinda went for it and fi...

The High Price — Eternal Beach City

I’m actually pretty happy with how the splashing water turned out! I thought it’s be more of a challenge to get it to look good if I’m being honest. I thought I’d have to sign up for some online course on water physics or run some experiments or even trick someone into almost drowning and film them for reference. Because that’s how far I’m willing to go to make sure something is done right! That’s how far I’m willing to go for art!

Dick-spert — Eternal Beach City

I’d like to take a quick moment just to mention that I’m getting really close to the Patreon goal where I told myself I’d quit my minimum wage job so I can focus all my time on the comic. It’s pretty exciting and surreal. Like, even though I consciously set the goal with the objective of achieving it, I don’t think the deepest parts of my brain ever thought about the experience of it actually happening. I was just focused on doing what I can to escape a crushing existence because it...

All Cats Are Grey at Night — Eternal Beach City

I guess women who are younger than 40 but still pursue younger men are called “Pumas”. This feels like the OSX naming convention all over again. For those too young to know (aka, perfect age for Cougars) Apple used to name their operating systems after big cats. Eventually they ran out of cats and had to switch it up. They never did use the name Cougar though. I guess they were worried they’d be accused of false advertising.

Clean Break — Eternal Beach City

I had a lot of trouble coming up with the name of the conditioner brand. The first thing I came up with was “ConditionHER” which I was pretty proud of. Cut to me looking it up just in case, and finding out that it already exists. Fuck. Head Mistress? Already a brand. Curl Boss? That too. There are so many! Does every tenth person on earth have their own shampoo brand? At this point I wouldn’t be surprised if there was a shampoo called “Untitled” actually, let me look that u...

Safe Space, Safe Word — Eternal Beach City

I wish real therapists had those chaise lounge chairs in their offices like ya see in movies sometimes. Did they ever? Why did they stop? At this point, if a new therapist designing his or her office orders one, do all the other therapists make fun of them for being a poser and thinking they’re in a movie? Then they wanna talk about that in their own therapy, but they’re gonna be talking to another therapist who might not say it’s cringe, but they know what that look in their e...

Is My Face Reddit — Eternal Beach City

Congrats r/comics! Three million. That’s crazy! That’s like, more than the population of Chicago! Wait a minute. What if it actually is everyone in Chicago who’s subscribed. I know what you’re thinking. “The population of Chicago is just a little over two and a half million. So, how could that equal three million?” Well, I didn’t say it’s only people from Chicago. Are you from Chicago? No? There’s one. I’m not either. There’s two. It should add up from there.

The Dust Settles — Eternal Beach City

Should I have had her eating some generic version of Cheetos™ instead of having a literal Cheetos™ bag in the shot? But what would it be? Chee… zos? But that sounds too much like Cheez-Its. Regardless, is Cheetos™ going to come after me now?

But maybe they’ll come after with a promotional tie in deal! I can see it now. Esther and Kayla are eating Cheetos™ and then licking the dust off and it’s so good they just start eating their hands because they’re all out of Cheetos...

Emperor Quinn — Eternal Beach City

I wonder if the whole “Emperor’s New Clothes” con would work in real life. Maybe I’m crazy, but I feel like it might have a higher chance of working today than back when it was written. The only flaw in the plan would be the fact that pretty much everyone knows the story. Just gotta wait until literacy rates are just a little lower.

Quinn’s Vagina Poll

This will be the first reveal of Quinn’s vagina! I know, hushed murmurs all around. It’s a big deal. Question is, what sort of vagina does she have? Of course, all pussies are beautiful and fascinating and deserving of respect, but every woman, both real and fictional, only get’s one vagina that’s canon.

So, the question I have for you all now, is what is that canon vagina for Quinn? Exposed labia? (an “outtie”) or the inverse? (an innie).

A Woman’s Touch — Eternal Beach City

You’d think I’d gotten the inspiration for this comic while I was high. Seeing as how I do love drugs. However, personally, I rarely find drugs to be very beneficial to the writing process. Some people can make it work, but it’s just not how my brain is wired I guess.

So, remember kids, you can have a full blown, spiraling, body horror, existential crisis while stone cold sober too! Ya know gotta put in the work!

Setting Her Up — Eternal Beach City

Just to be clear, I’m not knocking the Spider-Man trope. It’s effective and satisfying. Not everything has to be constantly reinvented in order to avoid getting labeled as a hack. Though, it was cool in Spider-Man II when they flipped it by having Doc Ock on the ceiling instead.

Or maybe it is hack. I dunno anymore. Is this why the next Spider-Verse is getting delayed for so long? I know I don’t envy the minefield those writers must be dealing with. Not that I would turn it down i...
