Happy New Year - Gator Days
Panel 1 Gustopher and Olivia are excited for New Year's Eve. Gustopher: My dad said I can stay up for New Year's Eve! Olivia: My mom said I can too! Panel 2 Gustopher holds up a bowl of chips that come in various colors. They're the best chips you will ever eat but you will never see them in a store. The only time you will ever find them are at one out of every seven parties you go to and you will never know who brought them. Gustopher: I'm going to try all the snacks! Olivia: I'm going to shout louder than anyone! Panel 3 Gustopher and Olivia: THIS WILL BE THE BEST NIGHT EVER! Panel 4 Time has passed and Gustopher and Olivia have passed out from exhaustion. They have spent all their energy being excited for New Year's Eve that they didn't save any to actually stay awake. Their parents have wrapped them in blankets to make sure they're extra cozy. Ember has snuck onto the couch between them and is digging through the snack bowl. The Adults: THREE... TWO... ONE... HAPPY NEW YEAR! Ember: My snack! Ember proceeds to eat what remains of the snacks and stays up for an additional three hours.

New Year Special

#webcomic #krita #miniFantasyTheater
A comic in four panels: Panel 1: The Gothic Sorceress sits at a table, surrounded by a party hat, wine and champagne glasses, the aftermath of a long dinner with the plates, and the silhouettes of a crowd behind her during the new year eve party at the magic school. She looks bored and disconnected from the celebration. She ask out of curiosity her AI Parrot, perched on the back of the empty chair beside her. > Gothic Sorceress: "Avian Intelligence, how could one actually make their New Year's resolutions stick?" Panel 2: The AI Parrot responds. She listens looking at the Parrot even more bored. > AI Parrot: "Break down big goals into smaller ones, stay consistent, and track progress." > Gothic Sorceress: "Boring..." Panel 3: The Gothic Sorceress turn back to the crowd behind her: the Headmaster rise his glass for a toast with his own AI Parrot perched on his shoulder. The AI Parrot also look at the scene. > Headmaster: I propose a toast, to Avian Intelligence, and how it will change everything! > Guest: To a new era! > Guest: And mega profits! Panel 4: The Gothic Sorceress's behavior shifts, her body language becoming flirtatious toward her AI Parrot, for asking a question. The AI Parrot, however, recoils slightly, its digital body language conveying surprise and a hint of alarm as it grasps the implications of her query. > Gothic Sorceress: "And how would you break down 'wipe out the Avian Intelligence industry' into smaller goals?" > AI Parrot: "?!!"

Bolero's New Sweater - Gator Days
Bolero's New Sweater - Gator Days Transcript Panel 1 Bolero has received a new sweater for Christmas! It seems to be a few sizes too big. He can't even fit his arms through the sleeves. His mom isn't too worried. Tammy: Looks like your new sweater is too big. Panel 2 Bolero lifts an arm and watches the rest of the sleeve be pulled down by gravity. Tammy: You'll just have to grow into it. Panel 3 Bolero begins to lift the back of the neckline of the sweater upward. Tammy: You can take it off. Panel 4 Bolero has the sweater covering the back of his head and he's lifting the arms so the sleeves flop around in the air. He feels like a medieval peasant working tirelessly in the fields. Perhaps one plotting treason against the king. Bolero: I love this. Tammy: Really? Bolero: Can I wear it to school?

Cranky - Gator Days
Cranky - Gator Days Panel 1 Ember has woken up on the wrong side of the bed and she is CRANKY!

Panel 2 Ember has decided to lock herself away in her room. She is letting everyone know that she is not to be disturbed. She might be angry with the world but she has standards. Ember: I WANT TO BE ALONE! EVERYONE GO AWAY. Panel 3 Ember closes her bedroom door. There is a sign designating it as "EMBER'S LAIR". The writing on the sign was decided by Ember who wanted all potential intruders to have an a feel of dread they approach her domain. Panel 4 Ember peeks her head out out of her bedroom door with a new declaration. Ember: BEING ALONE IS BORING! SOMEONE LET ME YELL AT THEM! Again, Ember might be super grumpy but she has standards.

The End of the World - Gator Days
The End of the World - Gator Days Transcript Panel 1 August and Gustopher are walking home from the grocery store when they see a street evangelist spreading the good news about the end of the world with a megaphone. He is lifting the holy text "THE FINE BOOK" in the air. Whether or not this book is actually fine is hotly debated. Street Evangelist: REPENT SINNERS! THE WORLD'S END IS NEAR! Gustopher: It is? Panel 2 August has lived through multiple declarations of the end of the world and is fairly confident that the world is not ending. Or if the world is ending, it's happening slowly and painfully. August: No, the world isn't ending. Gustopher: But what if it is? I have to live life to the fullest. Panel 3 Gustopher is filled with determination. If the world ends, he's going to be absolutely sure that he has no regrets. Gustopher: When we get home, I'm going to pet cats and play video games. Panel 4 August: You do that every night. Gustopher: I live each day like it's my last. August and Gustopher went home, pet the cats, and played video games.

When Your Avian Intelligence Agrees a Little Too Much

#webcomic #krita #miniFantasyTheater
A comic in four panels: Panel 1. A young gothic sorceress sits in the grass at night, under the full moon. Her futuristic, Avian Intelligence (AI) parrot perches on a nearby branch. > Sorceress: "Avian Intelligence, should I cast a spell to turn the moon purple?" > Parrot AI: "Absolutely, it could revolutionize our nighttime color palette." Panel 2. The sorceress beams with excitement, her eyes shining with enthusiasm, as she scribbles notes on a parchment. The parrot watches with an encouraging gaze. > Sorceress: "Then, I'll summon a giant black dragon to... crush the sun!" > Parrot AI: "Great idea! It could solve the whole 'daylight' problem, and I love the creative approach." Panel 3. The sorceress's expression falters; she looks at the parrot with concern and skepticism. > Sorceress: "You think everything I say is brilliant, don't you?" > Parrot AI: "Your ideas are always innovative." Panel 4. The sorceress facepalms, her excitement deflated. The parrot continues to chirp away, oblivious to the change in atmosphere. > Parrot AI: "Your genius shines, even in silence!"

Text Anxiety - Gator Days
Text Anxiety - Gator Days Panel 1 Polly is taking a walk. This is one of her favorite streets with a street sign that says "SIGN". It's a great place to go if you're wishing for a higher power to send you a sign. Unfortunately, Polly has a head full of anxious thoughts. She has been waiting for Gwen to text her back but it has taken longer than usual. Polly (thinking): Gwen still hasn't texted back. Is she angry? Panel 2 Polly's thoughts starts to spiral. She's starting to think she might not be a very good friend. Polly (thinking): Maybe I'm bothering her. Am I bad friend? Should I leave her alone? Panel 3 Polly checks her phone and makes a startling discovery that instantly eliminates all anxiety. Polly (thinking): Oh. I forgot to press send on my last text. Panel 4 Now we see Gwen doing some grocery shopping. She's near the produce where we can see a lot of colorful and ideally edible plants for sale. There are "Perfect" CHIVES for sale as well as orange sticks, round brown things, big and green things, and red stuff labelled "RED!!!!!!!!!!". There's also shelf standard store favorites like "Box of Food", "Can of Drink", "FOMO", and "Sold out". It's the usual grocery store stuff. Gwen is also currently feeling relieved. Gwen (thinking): Polly texted! I thought she was mad at me.

Trash Talk - Gator Days
Transcript Panel 1 Hannah and Gustopher are playing some sort of board game. Hannah seems confident that victory belongs to her. Gustopher has not given up hope. Hannah: It's over Gustopher! I have the high ground. Gustopher: Not if I roll a two or a six. Panel 2 Hannah is not concerned. She continues to taunt Gustopher. Hannah: You're a fool if you think you can win. Gustopher: I know you are but what am I? Gustopher is not very good at banter. Panel 3 Olivia and Liam are also at the table. Olivia watches Hannah and Gustopher yell back and forth while Liam is occupied with a book. His book is called "Book: The Movie: The Novel". It's the novelization of the movie based on the hit book called book. It's garbage. In front of them is a board with various spaces that each have a word starting with the letter "F" on them. Spaces include Fear, Fork, Feast, Fight, Flip, and Flee. The pieces are all supposed to be things that start with "F" but the game developers really stretched it for some. They include a metal cat that's supposed to be a feline and a little metal cup that's supposed to be a full cup. Hannah: My strategy is unparalleled! Roll your last pathetic die! Gustopher: You're pathetic! Gustopher is still not very good at banter. Panel 4 Olivia is beginning to wonder if she's been forgotten. Liam is unbothered. Olivia: Did they forget we're also playing? Liam: I like it better this way.

No Children (Part 4) - Gator Days
No Children (Part 4) - Gator Days Transcript Panel 1 August is at the office on an off day for a work emergency. He's had to leave his son with a co-worker, Iris, while he takes care of things and has just wrapped it up. He's picking up Gustopher now. August: I'm done. Thanks for watching- Gustopher: DAD! Panel 2 Gustopher is filled with an unreasonable amount of energy. In his hand is an energy drink that says "INFINITE ENERGY - Insomnia Flavored". Mistakes were made. He speaks rapidly, loudly, and with no respect from proper sentence structure. Gustopher: IRIS LET ME HAVE ANYTHING I WANTED FROM THE VENDING MACHINE AND I GOT AN ENERGY DRINK AND IT'S SO GOOD CAN WE GET SOME FOR HOME AND WE WATCHED CAT VIDEOS AND IRIS YELLED AT SOMEONE. Panel 3 August stares at his son with a mixture of exhaustion, surprise, and just the slightest amount of amusement that he knows will not last. Iris hopes this will dissuade August from putting her in this situation again unless it is absolutely necessary. Gustopher: I DIDN'T KNOW I COULD YELL THIS LOUD! Panel 4 Iris: He's a good kid. Good luck. Gustopher: I'M SHAKING! Gustopher is vibrating. His face is not exploding. All things considered, August thinks that this day could have had far worse outcomes.

No Children (Part 3) - Gator Days
No Children (Part 3) - Gator Days Transcript Panel 1 August was called into work to take of an emergency and Iris is doing him a favor by letting his son wait in her office. Gustopher just learned that Iris doesn't have any kids and is curious about that. Iris has a cup of coffee in a mug that says "BOAR FACE". Gustopher got a can of something from the vending machine but it's slightly out of view. Foreshadowing is a literary device. Gustopher: I thought married people always had kids. Iris: Some don't want to kids. Panel 2 Iris looks away for a moment. She feels a momentary heaviness and continues. Iris: And some want kids but life doesn't work out that way. It's like... You're probably too young to understand. It's a complicated topic and Iris has a lot of complicated feelings about it. Panel 3 Gustopher just says the first thing that comes to his head. Gustopher: Like loving and missing someone you never get to meet. Iris: Kind of like that. Panel 4 Gustopher begins to dwell on the topic. Gustopher: That's not fair. Iris: Yeah... Let's watch cat videos. Cats help.
