Another brief anecdote from my ongoing, sequential brainchild. I've always had a fondness for quieter moments between characters, where we just get to watch the different personalities bounce off each other, and I'm trying to bring that here.

This weeks trivia and recommendation. I actually really liked the recent Wrinkle in Time movie. Not sure what all the drama surrounding it was about.

I had to draw my own characters dressing up too. Last year they were webcomic characters, this year it’s indie animation.

With how much the show’s story diverged from the original comics, it sucks we never got any conclusion to Dead End. The comics are great, but I would’ve like to see the show’s ending.
