Hey, Happy New Year . . . and Valentine's Day!  I still have to get the Twelve Days of OtW onto the art page, but I've got too much going right now.  So for now, enjoy a new page!

Yes, more talking.  Kiaron doesn't necessarily have a plan.  He's just mad and wants to go beat Thuban up.  That should work, right?

Who knew Elliot was going to end up the smart one? He's the most genre-savvy at least.

Anyway, until next time!  Eat some chocolate (or special treat of your choice)!

Well, here we are at last.  Happy Nanowrimo, everyone!  Yes, that is contributing to comic delays.  Sorry, but so it goes.  The upcoming holidays will also contribute to comic delays, since I am the one hosting parties instead of just attending them.

No, Darron is not a prince.  Really, he's not.  Unless you want to write fanfiction where you make him a secret prince.  In that case, do whatever you want.  ;)

Okay, Kiaron, so now can we finally move on to your plan to stop Thuban from destroying the world...?

Hello.  Here is a page.  Abner has once again left the comic.

Since I've been asked, the "building" in question is Thuban's house.  Since Kiaron knows that Thuban isn't going to be home for a while.  >:D

One more page the wrap this up, then we can transition into the next arc/scene.  Yay!

Status Update

Okay, sorry, I've owed you this post for a while.  After going to chase the eclipse, I ended up sick for a month straight, during which I couldn't muster the desire to work on the comic.

So, during that time, I started working on a non-comic project.  It's a short-term project, but it's taking longer to complete than I expected.  And I'm finding I'm unable to focus on the comic while I'm so close to finishing this other project.

So, I'm just going to admit to myself that I'm not going to update the comic until this other project is done, and give myself permission to stop feeling guilty.  I really, really hope to have this project finished by this weekend, but it's already taken a lot longer than I expected.  So, we'll see.

It's amazingly convenient how you always get a five minute timer to help you exit the building before it collapses on you.  Of course, you may have to also allow extra time for that annoying boss that shows up as you're trying to leave . . .

Anyway, Sarah may not approve, but can you blame Kiaron for wanting to get his hands on whatever goodies Thuban left behind?  Might have some really good stuff in there.  Who knows?

And yay, thief guy finally gets his name mentioned in comic.  I don't think I had yet -- Sarah always lights him on fire too quickly.  I guess I could check my archives, but I don't have the time right now.  He did at least get named on the profiles page.  Man, I need to update that.  Eventually.  Whatever.

Later, guys!

As promised, it didn't take them long to find Gerkie.  I wonder what she's been doing.

Just for fun, here's the last time we saw our friendly thief.

See you next time!  :)

Elliot is snarky.  And doesn't like having to rely on Kiaron.  But he also raises a good point.

Oh yeah, I didn't feel like explicitly stating it, but Kiaron thinks Thuban knows where the last staff piece is, too.  Both of them were saving that piece for last because they know it'll be the most inconvenient to get.

And yes, Gerkie should be back very soon.  ;)

See ya!
