Comrades, meet Caroline. Caroline, comrades.
Okay, now that everyone’s acquainted, I’m trying some new stuff with the comic, trying to expand the look to somewhere closer to the place where I ultimately want it to be. It’s been a considerable amount of trial and error, but I think I’m getting it figured out. I’m bumping around in the dark with this (I’ve stubbed many a toe and trampled on a few Legos). But I think I’ve made some good progress. It’s a little bit rough, I know, but remember the stumbling.
The bottom line is this: I want to make this comic the best I can for y’all. Having said that, thank you for sticking with me through all this while I experiment with everything. I know it has changed considerably over the last year and a half, but I think that may finally be starting to level out (I hope).
So, what do y’all think? Looking better? Worse? Lemme know!

Good news, everyone! We have a group costume this year!
Since some of these holidays have begun to coincide with our regular posting schedule, I’ve decided to move any of these special comics to the blog. Don’t worry; there will still be the regular story comic today as well. It should be an interesting interjection to the main storyline we’ve been following to now, but I’m going to stop now before I say too much.
Anyway, without further ado (and I know you’ve just been dying to see it), here’s this year’s Halloween comic! It’s a group costume this year, with a Futurama theme! I’m an enormous Futurama fan, so this seemed to fit in quite nicely (Pete does have his Fry tendencies). Beyond that, I tried some different things with it, and I’m actually pretty happy with how it turned out.
Anyway, y’all have a safe and fun Halloween, however you choose to spend it, and thanks, as always, for reading and enjoying and sharing the comic. All of y’all ghouls and goblins out there are just awesome. I hope you all know that, because it’s 100% true.
Happy Halloween, everyone!
