Comic for Monday, October 17th
Arron seems a little wrapped around the axle on the hole in the wall thing.
Unfortunately for Kally, Mium speaks cryptic observations, snarkery, and exposition quite fluently. Maybe it was just karma catching up with her for answering her phone at the table π
Making decent progress on actually getting back to a buffer. This is a good, I’ll be going on vacation in both in November and January. I currently anticipate the November one being fully buffered, the January one may or may not be entirely covered based on how much time I get between now than (since it is two weeks). Either way, I think we are getting to some interesting times, so will do what I can not to drop any updates.
The next vote incentive is up! I don’t know what looks weirder, the costume or that Miko’s hair is actually neat.
Have I missed anyone’s? I think I’ve gotten all the ones left in comments, if I’ve missed yours let me know! If you missed any, you can flip through the free section of Patreon, as I’ve put them all up there.
There is a new poll up at the bottom of the page. It’s purely a questionnaire about what the readers feel like could use improvement in the art. This isn’t me complaining about the art (necessarily), but rather just looking for feedback. I know that many of you are very kind individuals, but that’s why it’s worth seeking your feedback rather thanΒ just the fellows who are more likely to share their opinions π
Panel 7 – “retailation” => “retaliation”
By “teach me that” she meant “ftp me that code segment”.
I am absurdly pleased with myself for thinking like Kali way back Here as a possible Peter motivation. Probably I am this happy because of the quality of the story making this extremely satisfying.
Peter’s lucky it isn’t the readers that tracking him down, you guys been catching onto him a little too fast sometimes π
Of course, maybe it’s just you and Kally giving him too much of the benefit of the doubt… π
Which is why I specified Kali agreed with me not that I figured Peter out :).
Sometimes, all you need is to watch character interaction.
Because then you end up with stuff like this. (Everything about this page.)
And stuff like this is awesome. (Especially everything about this page.)
Haha, sometimes I wonder why I have the pictures when I just do my best to stuff them full of word balloons, but sometimes it works out I guess π
As always, I appreciate the comments!
Ila and Mium’s little banter at the end… yeah, Naomi was right, little sister. “You don’t know anything! Now teach me something!”
Despite Kally saying that Mium only talks in cryptic observations and snarky comments, he is still a thousand times more likely to tell her useful things than Peter. Best I can tell he always answers questions at least partially if you ask him.
Haha, well, let me know if I need to put warning tags up for traumatic flashbacks… π
We have yet to see Mium really flex his expositional skills, but sooner or later we’ll find an exposition dummy… π
How many more costumes do you want?
Haha, well, there is no set goal. I hope to do at least one per update. At this point I think most people have gotten one drawn, but more is merrier if there are ideas people want to see π
Just no guarantees I’ll get to all of them, got a few more via email that are next up, but can still use a few more.
Add Tyler as Dracula to the list then.
And, if you have room at the very end of the month after everyone else’s requests, Peter as classic Sherlock Holmes.
“Cheating is one of my talents.”–priceless. ^^
Mium and Ila actually DO sound like brother and sister. π
I really like the layout on this page. The panel sizes focus the narrative nicely. π
I think I suddenly feel empathy for Mium. She manages to demand, whine, complain, and accuse him of cheating all while in the process of asking him for something. That was a solid two word bubbles of little sister dialogue there.
You sound like someone with personal experience. ^^
Ila has a bit of an odd relationship with Mium, but she is sort of… unmoored. I suspect she is honestly a bit confused if she stopped to think about him at this point, which is why she probably doesn’t.
Mium, well, hell if I know. He’s sort of weird.
Good news Arron/Kally: Peter’s minion’s are showing what they can do.
Bad news:Its a lot more than you’d like.
It’s sort of an extension of the whole wanting to know, but not wanting to know. π
I’m guessing that Arron heard Mium far too clearly, because if you’re going to hack a phone signal you might as well have everyone hear your smart remarks.
Yeah, I’m thinking that Mium didn’t want to leave Arron’s actions up to chance, and the best way to do that is to explain the reasoning behind the plan.
Mium is not a big a fan of plans going astray. He is sort of like a plan-sheppard. He does not approve of stray factors.
He only has so much patience for the silly things humans do.
What is this about hacking? I thought he was just eavesdropping the normal way, with his ears, and Arron/Kally were just surprised that he understood the language they are speaking (and perhaps by how good his hearing is).
Eh, I was mostly speculating on how Arron could hear Mium’s reasoning on the matter, since phone receivers tend to only care about picking up one person. So I figured hacking the phone would be slightly faster then bugging it.
Still there’s no particular reason to think that he hacked the phone from the information present. I just figured that Mium would just so he could hear Arron’s side of the phone call.
Remember he gave it back to Kally. He might have bugged it then.
Mium can intercept electronic communication (click THIS LINK). Perhaps he cracked the code the phone was using. On the other hand, his hearing is excellent.
Not to continue posting in long forgotten threads that almost no one will read, his ability to intercept communication while likely used would not be entirely necessary, I myself (given that the environment isn’t too loud) could have overheard what Arron was saying and I have normal human ears (I think anyway, I have had surgery for ear related issues 3? times) though maybe a bit hypersensitive.
Love Kally’s expression in the third to last panel. Largely because I love it when I’m able to give someone that expression (usually in a board game of some sort).
Haha π
Well, of all the things Kally expected that was probably not high on the list.
To many “that was” in panel 2.
And I feel that Peter is a lovable character. (I can totally relate.)
Ms. Winters had better figure that out before someone else does. π
That was indeed too many “that was”. Fixed! Thanks! π
