First of all, if you don’t follow any of my social media, or use the RSS feed, go back one page for the bonus page I posted on Thursday. (Wednesday night technically.)

As I said there I felt like if I didn’t add a little something in before this page it felt like it wasn’t going to be acceptable. I couldn’t even guess how long it’s been since I’ve posted more than 3 pages a week. possibly as many as 17 years. I probably stuck in a bonus here and there between the five pages a week days, I just can’t remember. I might start adding in extra postings from time to time if I feel like getting a little more cinematic. I dare not promise anything for fear of God noticing me. I really don’t want another years long disaster to hit my life right now. There’s always that danger hanging in the air at my age. As I’ve said before I often get a superstitious feeling that if I express even the smallest level of joy I’ll get punished for it. My mother has taken on this trait too. In spite of being basically logical people we are both prone to a bit of confirmation bias, if I’m not misremembering the term, from time to time.

In any event John got a little time in the spotlight and a hint of more to come in the future. It’s a shame that I’m not more people so I could make this much faster and all the characters could get more time all the time. Alas, I am but one. If you enjoy what I do here please consider becoming a patron in whatever way suits you best. I hope your weekend is nice and you will come back to me, safe and sound, on Monday. Until then, look up in awe at a night sky, and be humbled by the odds against you ever existing.

Holy shit man John just locked in???
I’m so in love with this arc, its got everything. John, goth furries, pizza clergy…easily one of the best things I’ve read in a while my friend, excellent work

Man it’s so nice to see John catch a break, he’s been down for awhile and he’s a really nice dude. I mean he’s got his flaws but so does everybody and it feels like he really needs a win. Makes me happy to see.

I love how Jackie manages to make me care for every character and cheer for them all to win. It’s so great =)

Ooh, extra page was a good call. Not that this page isn’t sufficient in and of itself, but there was definitely something missing between it and the previously preceding page. Two lovely pieces of toast with no cheese between them. Perfectly acceptable, a plate of toast, but a grilled cheese is so much better.

…this may or may not be allusions to John’s current… “predicament”. Vic and Brig discussing the potentiality of a John sammich.

Just to say, it’s so nice to read a comic, and the words, of someone who seems like an actual real thinking decent PERSON and not just some ‘I’m good at art and making comics’ automaton jerk like some of these dudes seem to be. Seeing somebody actually put out there their reflections and sentiments about just LIFE in general in a way that resonates with me is a cool thing. Keep doing what you do, sir.

I think my moderate success has shielded me from becoming too unhappy with the internet. Since I’ve only been subjected to moderate levels of hate I haven’t turned against the bulk of my audience or fallen out of love with my own story. I have some empathy for some of the very successful creators who have clearly absorbed so much abuse that it has hurt them deeply and likely permanently. Also my social isolation has kept me from falling into the trap of groupthink. Of course the downside of that is that I have essentially no network of peers to turn to for help if I need it. On balance though I feel like I dodged a bullet and have managed to make something that might live on after me.

What a lovely story arc; spotlight for John, more stage time for Victoria and Bridgette, and great character development and building with all three of them. Looking forward to what comes next, both for the three of them and the next arc since you said it’s from your original script and the last bit you haven’t gotten to do yet.

Extra page really works here! I’ll offer John the same advice I gave my nephew-in-law when he got engaged to my niece: “You’re a lucky guy. Don’t fuck it up!” (He hasn’t so far, 11 years in. 8-D)

:33 < when the phrase "never stop dancing" showed up, i thought of a show i watched around 5 years ago. it really reminded meow of the phrase "don't stop dancing" which i guess is beclaws they have the same meaning. diffurent vibes surrounding them though. great page nonetheless (that's a weird word).

Dude… you think ‘nonetheless’ is a weird word when you go out of your way to use ‘beclaws’ for ‘because’ and ‘diffurent’ for different because you’re, uh, some kind of cat…thing(?) roleplayer? Amazing how the mind works hahaha

I don’t post a lot here, but i’ve been reading for a long time. like a decade at least!

I love this comic. the art feels as impactful as the one where you switched from black & white to color. John is exuding main character energy here.

Some wonderful expressions here. John in the big panel, of course, but I enjoy how teed up the conversation which must be taking place between Vee and Bridgette has been and their faces show it.

So after reading the title am I the only one thinking of magic dance by David Bowie?

Yeah!
Magic Dance works here for me!
:D

I also think, because of his last pose, in the last panel- It looks like John is going to a remake of Michael Jackson’s, music video: “The Way You Make Me Feel”.
:D

My word I have unfortunately been so tied up with Adulting I haven’t had time to relax and read. I came back to the best story arch I could have hoped for… also very jealous of a particular smoking individual right now, but alas I am to old to think about romance these days… imagine yes, think no. Thank you again for the wonderful fantasy you have spun for us dear weaver of dreams^^
