I usually do passage of time at page breaks, so doing it three times in one page was weirdly nerve wracking for me? You can purchase this issue now if you would like to!

You can purchase this issue now if you would like to! Note: the reason Tisl thinks Behavioral Sub-routine is spelled phonetically is because she’s pronouncing it weird.
WWAWM
UPLOAD FRIENDSHIP
You can purchase this issue now if you would like to! Looking at it now, I probably should have made his beard look a little crazier earlier in the comic!
This is the only comic on the site to actively feature cursing, so I guess I better go back and add it into the old comics. You can purchase this issue now if you would like to!
A Compelling Legal Case
Continue on to the optional Social Media comics Go directly to Chapter 5 As is customary, even though it shouldn’t be, I made the back cover of this issue before the rest of the issue as the cover, and then[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
I don’t have many pages done but I should be able to keep up! Sorry for any future delays if they happen.
I’ve been trying to make tags for all the characters that have been in this book, but I’ll be honest: Not only did I fudge it a lot, and forget to tag some people, but some characters didn’t actually hadn’t[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
I’m still finishing this comic, and desperately trying to keep to my two-s-words per issue, one-f-word per chapter/season, and it’s hard. I say both of those words all the time.
You get that bread, then you get those crows
Important Data Collecting Experiments
Because wordpress solidifies it’s permalink almost instantly, enjoy the way I initially misspelled occurrence.
Some Concrete Plans
As far as I can tell, half the pages for the rest of this set of chapters have between five and twelve characters on them, so I think I’m moving to two pages a week until I get reasonably comfortably[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
How many baths are you planning on putting in here?
Full disclosure: the original set-up to this scene felt a little too porny so I had to rewrite it a BUNCH.
Maybe someone will want an audience?
Is this how I feel about pacing? Who knows! (yes) ALSO I just got a new tablet monitor and this is the first page inked with it (the backgrounds were done on the previous one). So the comic may wind[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Party Time… Eventually??? IF YOU FEEL LIKE IT?
Stop and Stair
Getting Your Bell Rung
Eventually going to hit a page where I have to tag 16 characters, and I’m not looking forward to it.
Human is subjective tbh
Leaf it to Tree
Thank you for reading this issue! There won’t be a big break between this and issue 6, just a week or two. I can’t guarantee a February 17th launch, but it is possible/semi-likely.
I did this background before drawing the characters in, so here are some of the details you’re missing:
Will I be able to keep pace with this comic? Only time will tell. I got spring allergies coming in like a freight train but I’ll persist.
The dithering looks a little weird because I’ve started processing my images with Aseprite. Once I do a different color scheme it shouldn’t be an issue. So look forward to that in… 25 pages?
Door to Yesterday
I only obscure copyrighted names because it’s hilarious to me, not because I worry about being sued.
SNAPU
I am willing to put a lot of work into this comic, but I didn’t want to dig for the unicode symbol for alpha. Sorry.
Sorry if there are mistakes in this one – usually I try to be a week ahead. I had gotten 3 weeks ahead at some point and once again the clock has outsmarted me. It’s all behind the scenes but[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
A Mellow Lark
Originally I was going to go right into posting the next issue, but I’ve decided I want to have a deeper think about how I want it to look, and also I haven’t compiled the script into something workable yet.[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
I haven’t been allowing myself to have a comic putter out the way moments often do, and I did that in this issue. I thought I wouldn’t have to take a break from posting comics here but I am nowhere[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
The Dress, Addressed
I think I spelled Addressed right on my first try, a new record. That’s it for this chapter. I thought I was going to be able to launch straight into the next, but I have to write it AND the[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
or having will read it in the future. I’ll be back in a couple weeks to start posting supplementary material.
I might be jumping the gun just a touch on this, as I have a LOT of work to do on the comic still, but I believe I should be able to start posting this… NOW! Please note: I have[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Writing a comic and passing it off to someone else to draw is an absolutely wild concept to me, because the text in this page was being changed up to the last step before publishing it.
Are you sure though?
Asbesbacoa
One of the things I’ve been attempting with this comic is sticking to less values of gray (I’m only using 85%, 65% and 40% if you were curious) than previous chapters (In the last couple I used everything from 25%-90%).[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Wow, New York City really DOES have it all
Proportionally, humans are one of the lightest species considering the space they take up. Tisl is less dense than that, but tries to judge weights based on that. Anyway I don’t have to explain any of this, since we all[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
A Man Called Football 2
An aspect about how I write my comic that could, in no way, come through in the text is that sometimes music is playing in the background that I’m not acknowledging in the comic, and in this specific page the[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Can I borrow and possibly destroy your phone?
Sometimes I’ll use 3D models to make sure the proportions in my comic are correct and what I’ve learned from this is that foreshortening looks fake, even in real life.
Can’t believe there was an attempted coup comprised entirely of people who prefer Guy Gilchrist “Nancy”
I don’t really signify in any way that this is the end of this chapter, since the next one picks up immediately after, but I’m not making another 60 page chapter. That’s silly. Plus it’s hard to organize. Anyway, this[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…

The Piggle and the Penguin
I didn’t know that the Mortal Kombat techno song was made by Lords of Acid under a pseudonym until I was looking it up for this page.
There’s quite a few pages in this chapter that are meant to be viewed AS pages instead of cut up. So *you* the noble blog visitor, will be the only ones to see it in it’s true form. Otherwise, I[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
You have a couple of couches and you want me to sleep on the WHAT?!
I don’t know if theming this chapter green makes the off-putting shade of green of Vandequil work more or less. Probably more? We’ll see in a couple of months, I guess.
I suffer from a low grade kind of insomnia. On a good day I probably sleep about 4.5 hours. Today I got maybe 1.5 hours of incredibly unrestful sleep. That’s why I didn’t feel like color correcting the indexed version[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
The Speech’s Pit
600 Years worth of Advice Condensed Into One Word
Thank you for reading this chapter. I’ll be back next month some time with the next one. I’ll have little bits and baubles for you in the mean time, or, possibly, I won’t. Comics is work.
I’m doing pin-ups and other such things to stall for time while I get the next chapter and a big freelance thing in good shape. I didn’t need to wait for it to be hot outside to draw characters in[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
In Person This Time
I don’t show the reasons Shelley lists, but did I write them? Perhaps, someday you may see… as bonus content.
Solution Not Needed
This section was originally two pages and it was basically just text. This is a trap that’s easy to fall in.
It’s not a party until people are discussing jRPG mechanics
In case people are confused: You’re NOT seeing the whole conversation here. I have an idea about the conversation they’re coming from, but it’s not the meat of what you need to hear. It’s like you’re ping-ponging between conversations.
Classy Lassies
This is the first page of this comic that’s done at digital publishing resolution, which probably isn’t an issue (all the pages are shrunk 25% it’s not like the math is hard), but if I put the comic in a[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Real Mystery Classes
I don’t remember if I specifically went out of my way to avoid drawing every single character in a lot of panels, but if I did I’m very smart.
I don’t think it’s obvious from this page that I had to cobble the entire second floor together for the next handful of pages. And I don’t think I have it written down that the exact same thing is happening[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
I have been drawing Glowing Hearts set on the same specific 24 hour period for over two years now. I created the files for this chapter on September 10th, 2019. I’ll post some bonus stuff for the rest of this[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Wistare can have little a misunderstanding, as a treat. Not looking forward to tagging characters in this chapter.
A bad time for Tisl? Impossible!
No Kitchen is Ever Big Enough
The entire surface of the Earth could be your kitchen and you’d still not be able to find a place to put your cutting board without having to send a bunch of shit to the moon.
I’ve already designed much of Wistare’s living space, but I will not reveal the shocking conclusion to this question right now.
