Gosh. Rather a lot has happened in this webcomic. Time to take a breather as dusk descends, and enjoy a moment of quiet in the face of the weird sprouting doom that awaits on The Wilder Shore.

The monster is gone and the survivors are left to pick up the pieces. This is low-key one of my favourite scenes in this #webcomic - perfectly captured by @steveningramart.bsky.social

Three people look on scared. Caption says 'Open the door! It's me! I've got your brother!'

Fadi coming through the door with severe burns and a missing leg, supported by Nate.

Fadi on the floor. Gail is saying that it looks like an acid burn and they should get him to the shower.

Fadi's mother is angry - she says he needs a doctor!

I'm 99.9% sure this is ☠️ #spearphishing ☠️, but thought I'd share cause it seems very sophisticated and you may have had something similar. Probably #ai written based on a LinkedIn scrape? The student seems to exist as do the websites, though the Jenkins link redirects through an appspot app. 😕

Gotta admit, I was a teensy bit nervous. So stoked that it's getting made though! 🥳

There's always some drunk guy stumbling out in front of the monster who thinks it's his dead wife.

Got a comic appearing in the BOXES vol4. about a group of 🍄mischievous creatures🍄 returning from a hundred year sojourn to renew a diabolical deal - with a bemused service station attendant. It's super fun, and the art, by @aimeelockwood.bsky.social, is 🔥.

Get in early and back this 🤯 project!
