Been a long time since I typed “comic for Thursday”… Least we have that much back on track, though I wouldn’t count on Thursday comics being that consistent, just while we have the buffer budget, but that buffer is going to take a hit in the next few months due to travel again.

This comic references a lot of things about the past, not all of which we have seen, which makes it a bit tricky to follow I reckon. For example, Peter acquired Kally a place to live in Minus Years as back than the IDS wasn’t formalized enough to own its own housing complex, but by the time Peter disappeared the IDS had it’s own housing complex, which Kally relocated to. With IDS CI pulling out, she’d be out of a house again.

The things they are talking about both Peter and Kally would know, but aren’t all things that I have a lot of space in the comic to expound upon.

Likewise, Peter and Kally both know the history of the other fairly well, while the comic has only shown bits and pieces of it. Peter knows that Kally, for example, is the Heir to the seat of summers in name only (due to being Nathan’s sister, and Nathan not having a true heir, but there are reasons – somewhat alluded to here, and previously touched on by Nathan) that Kally would not be likely to become the leader of the Summers family… though she might acquire the Seat of Summers, which would be unusual (as it’s almost always held by the head of the family), but not unheard of. The Summers family in a way may seem not that different than the Malsan Families…

The Kepler family is quite a bit different, in that it is don’t have any sort of hierarchy to it. It’s more “normal” in the sense that it’s just a bunch of people that are related and have the same name, and might get together for BBQ and arguing about politics more than they otherwise would… well, it might go a little deeper than that if the rumors are to believed, but who can say… Peter’s sister did allude to the Kepler family having it’s own problems, and Miko doesn’t seem to be a fan of them…

At this point I cannot 100% promise a Halloween sketch tomorrow, but I’ll see what I can do. The schedule is pretty busy, but I’d like to do one, and I owe a bit of sketching here and there. If I do, I’ll post a comment linking to it or something.
