page 815 – the huggie has become the hugger
Don’t forget, Layla is really overdue for some Alphonse hugs.
Also, don’t forget that The Exposition is supposed to be under quarantine as long as Stilez is on board. Speaking of which… gee, I wonder where she’s been lately?
Oh, Patreon people! I’m FINALLY getting caught up on all the backed up stuff for this month, and it should start coming out FAST over the next week or two. In the meantime, there’s an updated index of all the current comics if you wanna do a quick archive binge before the new stuff hits. (And yes, I continue to say I’m gonna get a new public gallery for both the older Patreon stuff and the Voting incentives done soon. I’ll come after I’m caught up on Patreon stuff)
And of course, a New Voting Incentive, though I have to confess that I’m running out of Stilez costume ideas. Or, more accurately, I’m running out of costumes I haven’t already put one of the other girls in at some point. Man, I’ve done a LOT of these, haven’t I?
OH! OH OH OH OH! Before I forget: I’m gonna have an Artist Alley table at Animazement this May, and I’m making some bags of exclusive Far Out There & Conventional Wisdom stuff to give away to people. But there’s a catch: the only way you can get any of it is if you come by the table DRESSED UP AS A CHARACTER FROM ONE OF MY COMICS! I know a lot of you guys aren’t anywhere near Raleigh, but those of you who are have a chance to get your hands on some free swag AND have the absolute most obscure costume at the whole con!
(Historical Notes: Yeah, nobody ever took me up on the “bribe you into cosplaying” offer, which is incredibly obvious in retrospect. After this, I amended the offer to just “free stuff to whoever asks,” and even then barely anybody knew about the offer, because I was already starting to rapidly drop off my social media activity.)
@ Cosplay Bribe: I couldn’t, I live half-way around the world, going to any Con you’re going to would be an endeavour in and of itself, and probably more trouble than I would assume actually going to a Con would be.
I’m one of those people who, not knowing what to do at a Con, would probably enter the Market Area, buy a couple things, wander around for a little while, and then leave thinking “Whelp, I have no idea why I thought this would be exciting”.
Yeah, I’m absolutely a person who encourages people NOT to go to these things if they don’t have a very explicit reason to. It takes a very specific breed of person to just enjoy that environment for its own sake.
