Panel 2: Behold, a peculiar glitch in this panel: I forgot to erase the first draft of the positioning for Young Spooky’s nostrils, which you can see as a faint afterimage below the finished drawing. Oops! Not sure why I didn’t notice that, or why I left the error in the published version if I did. Mysterious!

I could’ve removed the glitch for this webcomic serialization, but felt like leaving this puzzling error in because, well, why not?

And that’s it for the episode “Excessive Talkiness,” folks! Next Monday, we start up “Of Blue Steel and Bad Ideas,” a vol. 7 chapter focusing solely on Thugboy, Ninjette & Emp at home in their shared apartment. This one’s a bit of a “bedroom chapter,” in fact, though readers rooting for a serious polyamory scenario shouldn’t get their hopes up. (At least not yet.)

Today’s Patreon update: Probably another dose of Vintage Con Sketches, from the late-90s/early-2000s era when I was cranking out a ton of ’em.
