page 1339 – Information That’s Totally What You Asked
Haven’t done a good “Avatar Unloads A Bunch of Trivia” comic in a while, have we? Also, it’s too bad Ichabod wasn’t around to hear Tax say that.
Anyway, the original draft of this comic was basically an attempt to revisit the gag in page 1320… and by “revisit” I mean it was basically that exact same comic all over again. So I needed to revamp the whole thing, which included stretching things out into two pages with VERY little planing beforehand. This is why it’s always so important to make the time to doodle out rough drafts of a comic BEFORE the night you’re supposed to be drawing the final version, kiddies.
Also, I’m HOPING this week’s bonus TWC Voting Incentive will be up with no drama on Friday, but there’s going to be a bit of Real Life happening this week between now and then, so there’s the very slight possibility that I might end up taking longer to get it finished than usual. I dunno, hopefully I’m worrying about nothing, but we’ll see.
EDIT: Well, it’s KIND of late, but nowhere near as bad as I was afraid it’d be. New TWC Voting Incentive is up!
Tax is just dumb enough to keep herself endearing to Stilez, just smart enough to be able to manipulate Stilez, and just empathetic enough to ensure that she never attempts to over-manipulate Stilez (usually by ensuring she only does the manipulation AFTER Stilez has played around to Tax’s cheers).
I think the REAL question here is: how aware is Tax of the fact that she’s even doing any of this?
Exactly as aware as Tax needs to be for the plot & gags to work.
