The Power Of Patrons

Megan bought me pastel notes so my comic could finally "be prettier."

How We Decide What Specials To Run

I'm still trying to get in the habit of introducing the characters in that first panel, as per customer request.  No one actually requested it, but I still haven't had time for a cast page, so that's what they're getting instead.  I'd been wanting to work Sam into more comics, and she suggested that since she had been a biologist, she should be able to summon monkeys.  I agreed, and wrote a note on my register that said "Why does Sam summon monkies?"  I always spell monkeys wrong.  Later that day Maren added a note next to mine that said "to fight Maren's sloth army!"  She's been trying to get me to order Thai iced tea; it all crashed together in my head.

Guest Comic: Jen

Jen drew this during the family Christmas.  Pretty cool, yeah?  Readers were asking me why my hand writing looked different.

Solve It With Fire

I never know when it's inappropriate to set something on fire.

Lack Of Adventure Time

Maren asked for a comic Adventure Time style.  I studied the style, started copying designs, and trying to learn the design vocabulary.  I soon determined it would be a lot of work to do a whole six panel adventure in someone else's style.  So I cheated.

I Don't Know Why I Didn't Catch That

So at this point, I haven't gotten around to making the new cast page readers requested, so I started throwing in a panel with character names.  In this case, I also used it to designate roles; if there was any blow back from expecting customers to know what the hell they're doing, my loose cannon status is a disclaimer that my ideas are my own, and do not necessarily reflect the views of the whole team.  But seriously, just say your whole damn order.
