i got way too distracted with overworking that last panel.

filler 40 (2/2)

so anyway, when i wrote the "script" for this comic (which is usually a journal entry or a long note left to myself in some obscure place) however long ago, i was thinking about how to get out of being trapped in an unwinnable cycle. my conclusion was that all i knew was i wasn't going to give up.
however, i had to draw at least 2-3 scenes showing there Was a cycle, which i didn't plan when i was writing my thoughts. and that's the story of how this comic ended up really long.

getting a sense of deja vu... new month, new update folks.

so. life updates first because they may or may not be relevant.
1) if you don't follow me on tumblr: in march of last year, i moved to philadelphia. next month, it'll have been a year, and my lease will end, so i will be moving again, across the country, likely to california.
i had a prospective roommate (wife's close relative) who wanted to split rent for an apartment in arizona, but abruptly told me halfway thr...

still working on folie a dupe, have some baby sugar in the meantime.

i cut some dialog from this comic where her mother mentions that sugar started showing an interest in bugs because she noticed they look exactly like some of her food and she wanted to know why food was moving.

this got really long, so i'm splitting it into 2 parts. i think this is a fine ending by itself, but it doesn't address the theme i wanted to yet.

i was considering cutting this entire sequence of dialog hard, because i felt that it slowed the pacing a LOT considering that the "plot" of this comic is painting a por...

this page was... i'll be honest, this page was a pain in the ass to do. a lot of words a lot of props, just a lot going on. couple things i wanted to mention:

filler 39

whew... a harley comic. these are more stream-of-consciousness strips than scripted, so they end up becoming pretty long.

for this one, i wanted to lay out the basic "FAQ" for harley's gimmick, mainly, and try to fit it nicely into a narrative/joke format. there was a lot of potential dialog i had to end up cutting to trim the length down, but... always a next time.

note: i should mention PHU stands for "partial hang-up," NHU stands for "no hang-up," and HU stands for "hung up."

plain or simple, page 4

for this page, i ended up redrawing that second-to-last row of panels, because what i wanted to go for was something specific (ended up still going with the first sketch)... here's what the other sketch looked like:

poll for next side comic

as mentioned in this month's update, this is a poll to decide which character would be better to focus on next first.
a comic about lola would likely be about her and starting to reconcile with some of her past.
a comic about felix would likely be about deadname, and feature more inner world interaction than outer expressions of symptoms.

whew... sorry for uploading this one half an hour before it would be considered late. YOU KNOW HOW IT IS

character interest re-poll

it's been a while since i did a big poll like this. a lot of characters have gotten some focus, made new developments, etc.

i've started to categorize characters into 3 categories: main characters, supporting characters, and minor characters.
this poll, to streamline the process, will only feature main characters, and various categories of supporting characters.
i try to keep minor characters flat and not waste my time developing complex backstories for them, as i never intend to give th...

the panel with the thought bubbles was not originally planned, but i ended up spending 3 hours redrawing the bubble content several times anyway after i thought of the patron censor joke.

first page on the new schedule. next one will be up sunday.
i'll say, the stretch goal would actually be at a literal $999 right now, if not for 2 people who pledged 5 apiece after the charge period for this month, but i don't really want to be THAT kind of person lmfao. thus, i'm starting double updates now, so i can learn the ropes sooner.

unlike short-changed, the preview panels...

january poll

character development streams - i pick a character for every week and just talk about them, their backstory, etc. as i illustrate it. audience interactiveness is usually nominal, but you can ask questions

AU streams - drawing different alternate universe ideas for every week of the month. relies moderately to heavily on audience feedback and interaction for suggestions

january 2018

hello, hello, everybody. it's a new year, and it also seems that this month, our earnings number seems like it's probably going to stay staunchly above the $1000 stretch goal. it's a big "WOW" to me, but i'll get into some changes and clean-up for this patreon:

• i edited the intro text on my front page. these changes were fairly mundane and superficial; it has needed updating for a while (didn't realize how much i mentioned drop-out in it).
• i edited the descriptions of this stret...
