Progress
Trying something a bit new, the lettering. Good old Optima! I love serifless romans.
Keith gave us the starter panel, of course.
Something notable you might not realize is that the transcriptions archive is now up to date, and properly searchable again. Enjoy!
This comic is in the following storylines:
- Variations
A long-running series, maybe the crux of the site. Reader submits a suggestion, and I draw three comics based on that suggestion. Originally all three had to start the same, but it evolved. - Summer of Keith
Good old Keith! I used his suggestions, and only his suggestions, for comics all summer long. It was a pretty nice summer.
This comic includes the contribution:
- Keith Prestwich suggested: Rabish is confounded by an unlabelled tin.

Probably not the BEST way to reverse the effect... Rabish: WITH MY LAST BREATH I CURSE YOUUUUUUU
