page 1195 – He’s Got A Hole in His Pocket
Well now, THAT took longer than it should have. Then again, just look at the components that make up that last panel: layers of glowy lighting, weird perspective tricks, a drawing with lots and LOT of weird little squiggly details, this is pretty much a textbook example of the sort of page where I’m gonna get stuck on little details for hours and hours. And that’s not even getting into the fact that I got started so late in the first place. This was pretty much the WORST POSSIBLE page for me to try to do after already doing a lot of extra Digimon comic stuff and other things over the weekend. Time management is important, kiddies.
Speaking of which, I’ll TRY to get the new TWC Voting Incentive done by Thursday, but after getting this week off to such a bad start, there’s a very good chance it won’t be ready until Friday. I’ve also got some extra Patreon stuff that was ALSO being worked on over the weekend but isn’t quite ready yet, so I’ve also gotta juggle doing that as well. Man, ONE thing takes longer than usual, and the whole week just gets blown to smithereens.
BUT WHAT’S GOING ON WITH THE GLOWY PORTAL THING? We’ll get a full explanation in the coming pages, but those of you with good memories will probably be able to piece together the answer just from previous comics. Have fun with that!
10/1 Edit: Okay, it’s a day late, but the new TWC incentive is up!
10/3 Edit: Ugh, sorry to do this to you guys twice in a row, but there’s no way I’ll have page 1196 ready by Monday morning. It’ll be Tuesday morning at the VERY earliest, possibly not until the very brink of Wednesday. Sorry again, but the dust of last week is finally starting to settle, so I shouldn’t have to do this a THIRD time.
Regardless of the actual explanation, it might just win the prize for most useful thing we’ve seen a character in this comic carry around.
I was going to make a joke about how often we see Bridget and Alphonse carried around, but I think Tabitha would get mad at me for the implication of them being “things”
Precisely, and neither of them count as a pocket size gadget. Bridget would probably stuff anyone who suggested such a thing into their own pocket.
I suspect that it might also win the “most expensive non-spaceship/planet thing we’ve seen in the comic”. And, even if you include the spaceships and planets, it might still be in the top 10 most expensive items we’ve seen. The only real competition for that position seems like it would be the experimental ship that warps space/time for long distance travel, and the massive ship containing a city that the kids stole. Even then, if the expense of that belt-buckle sized inter-dimensional storage device increases even linearly with size, it could be more expensive than either of them, or both of those ships combined. And I’m focusing on those ships, mostly because I feel like they would cost more than what most of the planets we’ve seen would cost.
