Gator Days Informational Post
Panel 1 Gustopher is breaking the fourth wall to tell you about all the different ways you can find the Gator Days. Gustopher: Hey! I'm Gustopher from the comic Gator Days! I have information for you! August: Oh no, he's addressing the audience again. Panel 2 Gustopher: Here are the places you can find us under the name FieldExplores. Gustopher presents a list of locations you can read Gator Days. The list includes Reddit, Bluesky, Instagram, Threads, and Tumblr. Twitter/X is at the bottom of the list but has been crossed out. Mewbert: Mew? (possibly meaning "What a fantastic list, but what if I wish to support the creator of this comic through financial contributions? In addition, once we are done I would like someone to pet me and bring me snacks) Panel 3 Gustopher: GREAT QUESTION! You can also find us at Patreon and Ko-Fi if you'd like to help support the comic. Patreon has early access comics! Panel 4 Gustopher: Links in the comment section. August: What comment section? Is the audience in the room with us? After the events of this comic, August questioned Gustopher about everything he just said. Gustopher couldn't remember saying any of it and went back to playing video games. August decides not to push the issue of breaking the fourth wall any further.

Fork Fight - Gator Days
Fork Fight - Gator Days Transcript Panel 1 The founding members of the band Fork Fight are making an appearance on a late night talk show. Timmy Fowlon: It's the founding members of Fork Fight! Kyle and Kyle! Shirtless Kyle: YEAH! Kyle and Kyle walk out on stage. Kyle, as usual, is not wearing a shirt and the other Kyle, as usual, looks like he doesn't want to be there. He's wearing a shirt that promotes their new album "Spoon Scuffle". Panel 2 Kyle and Kyle take their seats and are ready for the interview. Timmy Fowlon jumps right into it. Timmy Fowlon: You formed your band in high school. How did you two become friends? Panel 3 Shirtless Kyle and Shirt Kyle give each other a meaningful glance. One of those glances that immediately transfers a lot of information between the two of them. A lot more information than is necessary in this moment. They'll be getting tacos after the interview is done. Panel 4 Shirtless Kyle and Shirt Kyle set the record straight. Kyle: We're not friends. Kyle: I hate this guy. Whether Kyle is referring to hating the other Kyle or the host is unclear.

It was mostly just covering exposed skin like midriffs and cleavage. I think occasionally large breasts would just be blocked or the page would be torn out. The magazines were generally for all audience so none of the images were too extreme to begin with.

I ended up with a lot of magazines from someone who would go through with a sharpie and cover any woman that might be too provocative. She did her best to save me from the sin of lusting after women, bless her heart.

Anyway, turns out I'm gay.

Banned Books - Gator Days
Banned Books - Gator Days Transcript Panel 1 Olivia and Gustopher are at the library. The Library is having a special event for books that have been banned in the past. Dora the librarian is stacking books with titles like "BOOK", "Boogers", "Tales", "Can you", "read this" and "Word". Olivia has a great interest in forbidden knowledge and has been browsing what's available. She's found a book called "Salt Box" and has an important question for the librarian. Olivia: Miss Librarian! Why was this book banned? Dora: Vulgar Language. Panel 2 Dora makes a shocked expression and holds her hands to her face. This is the only way she can express how depraved the book is. Dora: The word "butt" is used.... FIFTEEN TIMES! Panel 3 Dora looks down to the children to gather their reaction. Internally, Gustopher is wondering if Dora meant "but" with one "t" or "butt" with two. Olivia immediately assumes it's the latter. Behind them is a poster promoting banned books week. There is a cartoon book that's smiling and saying "I'm forbidden!" He's booky the banned book. He was specifically banned for being made using the darkest of magic. He's also kind of rude. Panel 4 Olivia is excited about the book. This leads Gustopher to assume that "butt" was indeed spelled with an extra "t". Olivia: Now I have to read it. Dora: Oh noooo... I'll help you check it out.

We Wait - Gator Days
We Wait - Gator Days Transcript Panel 1 Gustopher is floating in a nameless expanse with his arms stretched out and his eyes closed... Colors of blue, black, purple, and pink spark and shift all around him. He can do nothing here but wait. Gustopher: I am adrift in the realm between. Time is meaningless. Panel 2 Gustopher contemplates his situation further. Gustopher: How long has it been? Minutes? Years? Who knows... Panel 3 In reality, Gustopher is laying on the floor with his cat, Mewbert, comfortably lying on top of him. August is watching while holding a cup of something warm that probably has caffeine in it. He would be concerned but is well aware that he has done stuff like this when he was a kid. Panel 4 August decides to make sure that Gustopher is okay. August: You okay? Gustopher: Yeah, just waiting for my game to finish updating. Mewbert opens her eyes and notices that Nougat, the other cat, has seen that Gustopher is lying on the floor. Mewbert does not wish to relinquish this comfortable place to nap. Nougat wants a lap to nap on too. There will not be peace in this house tonight.

Halloween Costume Plans - Gator Days
Halloween Costume Plans - Gator Days Transcript Panel 1 August and Gustopher are out shopping when they notices a Halloween display. Gustopher is instantly excited about Halloween coming up. Gustopher: DAD! Halloween is coming! August: It is! Panel 2 August has been planning to make this year more exciting. August: Since your taco costume was cheap last year, I think we should go big this time! What do you want to be? Panel 3 Gustopher contemplates the choices with his hands to his side. Unrelated, but he's wearing his Sweater that says Sweater. It's a spin off of the Shirt Shirts but they haven't been quite as popular. People say that the Clothing Clothing company has sold out and they're just in it for the money. Anyway, various ideas swirl around Gustopher's head. Including Vampire, Super hero, ghost, copyright infringement, space marine, lamp, and banana. Two names in the corner are slight obscured. They seem to say Adam Tots and Hollering Elk. Could be something else. I guess we'll never know. Panel 4 After some careful considering, Gustopher knows exactly what he wants to be. Gustopher: I wanna be a taco again! August: Really? Are you sure? Gustopher: TACO! TACO! TACO!

They can't use actually imagery from the show because people might think it looks cool and want to check it out. When I see campaigns to ban shows, I take it as a sign that it's one I'd probably like to watch.

School Paper (Part 4) - Gator Days
School Paper (Part 4) - Gator Days Transcript Panel 1 Miss Liam is tidying up her classroom as Liam walks in. She's holding a box labelled "Salt". Seriously, what is she doing with all that salt? Why does she have multiple salt boxes? What's she getting up to during the summer? It probably involves margaritas. Anyway, Liam has decided that he's going to face his fears and write for the school paper. Miss Horsehill: Hello, Liam. Liam: Miss Horsehill, I decided to write for the school paper. Panel 2 Liam stands tall and puts his best foot forward. Liam: The idea of millions reading my work is scary but I'll do my best. Panel 3 Miss Horsehill stares blankly into space. It is just now occurring to her that she might have oversold the readership of the school paper. Behind her is a poster that says "Always Be Chewing" with a little cow saying "Don't Choke!". It's a good reminder to the children to make sure they properly chew their food before swallowing. Thank you cow, I will always remember you. Panel 4 Miss Horsehill is quick to calm Liam's nerves. Miss Horsehill: The paper only has a few dozen readers. Liam: Thank God! That's less scary.

The School Paper (Part 3) - Gator Days
The School Paper (Part 3) - Gator Days Transcript Panel 1 Gustopher and Liam are hanging out in Liam's room. Liam is laying on his bed because he's stressed. Stressed because Miss Horsehill asked him if he would consider writing for the school paper. He's thinking it over very carefully. Perhaps too carefully. It's consuming his every thought. Liam's little sister, Ember, is sipping on a juice box next to Liam's bed. This juice box will keep her wrath contained, for now. Liam: I love writing. And I like it when people read my writing. Panel 2 Liam continues staring at the ceiling as he voices his true concerns to Gustopher. Ember's going to town on the juice box. It's good stuff. Liam: But my feelings get hurt easily. I'm scared people might hate my work. Panel 3 Gustopher does his best to help Liam move his thoughts in a positive direction. Ember is preparing to speak as she notices that her juice box is about to run dry. She'll surely have grand pearls of wisdom to share with her older brother. Gustopher: Yeah, but there's also people who might love it. Sometimes you just have to take risks. Panel 4 Ember shall no longer be silenced. She has the obvious answer to this whole problem. Ember: AND I'LL BITE ANYONE WHO HATES IT! Liam: Ember, no. Ember: A SMALL BITE!

The School Paper (Part 2) - Gator Days Transcript Panel 1 Gustopher and Liam are walking home from school. Liam has a lot of thinking to do, which is a dangerous activity. Liam: Miss Horsehill asked if I wanted to write for the school paper. I don't know... Panel 2 Liam proceeds to elaborate on his concerns. He's always been pretty quiet and doesn't talk much but he's grown comfortable speaking his mind around Gustopher. Liam: What if I write something so bad, it gets shared all over the internet. Everyone will laugh at me. Panel 3 Liam begins to spiral into further panicked thoughts. Liam: And I get arrested for being a bad writer. And aliens see it and attack. Then I DIE! Panel 4 Gustopher attempts to calm his friend's chaotic thoughts. Gustopher: Or maybe you'll write something award winning! Liam: Seems unrealistic.

I'm fascinated by how a million hits/impressions/views on something could be considered a massive viral success back in the day. On some platforms, that's just a bare minimum for doing okay now days.

The School Paper (Part 1) - Gator Days
The School Paper (Part 1) - Gator Days Transcript Panel 1 Liam is talking to his teach, Miss Horsehill. Miss horsehill is putting down a box that's labeled "CONFISCATED PHONES" The second "C" in "CONFISCATED" was added after it was written because someone spelled the word wrong. What an embarising mistake. Behind them is a dry erase board that has a schedule listed. Part of it obscured but it appears to say "SCHEDULE - Reading- Discussion - Debate - Combat - Crying". Someone has also drawn a really cool looking "S" in the bottom right corner of the board and a cute kitty. Miss Horsehill has a suggestion she'd like to run by Liam. Miss Horsehill: Liam, have you thought about writing for the school paper? Liam: There's a school paper? Panel 2 Miss Horsehill puts down the box and proceeds to correct a common misconception about the school paper. Miss Horsehill: It's really a website. Liam: Interesting. Panel 3 Miss Horsehill: You could write articles about things you like. Liam: Sounds fun. Liam's face, as always, does not show much emotion. But he is intrigued by this idea. He enjoys writing and it could be nice to have a reason to write. The box of confiscated phones is no longer partially blocked by Miss Horsehill's arm and it's revealed that the box used to contain salt. What could Miss Horsehill be doing so much salt? Perhaps ice cream is involved. Panel 4 Miss Horsehill: Then the whole school can read what you wrote. Liam: Sounds terrifying. Liam puts his hands up to his face in distress. He worries about people not liking his writing. Once again, Liam's face does not show a great deal of emotion but hopefully the act of putting his hands to either side of his face will display the appropriate amount of dismay at the proposal.
