Okay, I can't in good conscience claim that the WHOLE reason this update took so long is because of the notepad going missing.  Lord knows I've taken even longer than this to finish comics even when I still knew exactly where my notes were.  But it is true, I did get bogged down for a…

Look, the older I get, and the more conventions I've got under my belt, the more my emotional state at the end of the weekend winds up being "Oh, thank God, I can finally go home and rest."  Even on weekends where things demonstrably went well, it's pretty rare these days for me to actually…

Sorry these have bogged down so bad, but we're on the final stretch, I promise!  There's two more pages after this, and I've actually already got the art scanned.  Hopefully, they'll be finished and online by the end of next week. Anyway, a bit of context that I left out to save time drawing: we…

This isn't even the first time I've relied on this thought process to justify buying things... though I don't think I've ever deliberately had my eye on setting up a big reveal THIS far in advance before.  Gotta justify these purchases SOMEHOW, right? (Speaking of which, just wait 'til page 10. We're not out of…

Well, THIS took a lot longer to get out than I expected.  Sorry about that.  For one thing, I was on the road over the weekend (Patreon has already heard what that was about) which didn't help things.  But more importantly, it turns out things during the panel were SO chaotic that I never actually…
