page 1331 – very comfy chair
WHEW! I made it! Okay, there’s the story: My goal had been to get page 1331 finished and queued up to go live BEFORE I left for Otakon last week. I… only SORT of got it done. By the time I had to head out, I had a rough draft of this page edited up, enough to get the joke across, so I had to load that instead. I sure didn’t WANT to, because I’d done the line art very sloppy with the expectation that all the glowing effects would cover up a bunch of messy places… messy places that would be on full display if you just looked at the crude version. And that’s especially embarrassing seeing as how half the reason I was even going to Otakon was to try and get new people to check out my comics. You kind of don’t want somebody’s first impression of your thing to be a sloppy mess, ya know? But there was every chance that I’d come back home with con crud or whatever, and couldn’t risk there just not being a new page at all on the scheduled day. So, I did what I had to do and queued up the rough draft… then IMMEDIATELY got back to work on finishing the page the second I got page one of the Conventional Wisdom comics posted Monday morning. Not a dull moment!
But yeah, I finally managed to get the finished version of the comic done, sparing myself the embarrassment of anyone seeing the sloppy version… so here’s a link to that sloppy version anyway. Because of COURSE I’m still gonna make that available anyway.
EDIT: New TWC Voting Incentive is up!
When even Stilez stops to acknowledge it you know it’s weird.
…though it would be funny if the things she’s most stunned and confounded by turned out to be the most normal stuff imaginable. (I mean, that’s not what’s happening HERE, but it’s be funny)
In contrast, this is exactly what Tax expected to happen. In fact, I probably need to go back over all of Tax’s dialogue for the past 15 years to see if there was something in there predicting a mystical chair eating a vending food monster. Tax is like Nostradamus*, if she says enough stuff eventually anything that happens can be vaguely interpreted to have been loosely predicted by something she said at some point, thus proving her amazing predictive abilities, which are not even limited by the author not having known what was going to happen! *except, of course,her abilities are real.
Eating all that food in one fell swoop won out!
Actually, seeing the comments about Stilez’s comments, I feel she finds where the food-golem is being digested is the weird part. A chair attacking the person/thing sitting on it? Be stranger for it not to. The person in question having bite marks taken out of it where vines from said chair are coming in contact with it, strange. But that’s just something that happens when you bring a five or six dimensional being into a four dimensional world.
…which is unusual enough that Stillez hasn’t fought one before. The fact that one of the possibilities of what she is, is a five dimensional existence stuffed into four dimensional cat-lady skin-suit, which explains her ability to ignore physics, is irrelevant.
Not to mention the 19-dimensional girl in the Puppygirl suit that tags along with her.
The more I look at it the more that expression in the 3rd panel really makes me feel sorry for the poor little (horrific abomination of nature) junk food monster 🙁
Yeah, I had to gradually but drastically change the way I was drawing this thing from page to page.
