Me: I'm doing these daily, it doesn't really matter if each one has a punchline
Also me: I will jam three times as many words as will comfortably fit so I can work in a punchline for this one
I realized today that I should either re-use the art or actually switch up the perspective or something.
But switching up perspective is *hard* and the foundational premise of these is "low effort"
idk
don't expect me to keep this 'visual interest' thing up.
okay yesterday was enough high-effort composition for one week
look it's been nice meeting you two and you seem like good people but you need to leave now because the artist is sick of drawing you
k thx bai
I thought I told you to leave
don't think you can make me draw you just because you won't stop talking
Puppy, however, returns by popular demand.
why are these two still here
i told them to leave 4 days ago and they're still talking
Me: you know there's a reason I haven't done actual word balloons
Also me: shut up
Me: they're so much more fiddly than they look, huh
Also me: shut. up.
dear author: "you don't have to draw the character you enjoy drawing, just the ones you're sick of" is not the win you think it is
at least Luian's leaving finally
... i hope
... we better not be following her outside
I have a list of "22 ways to draw two characters talking for when the writer won't let anything more interesting happen" (thanks @XyzzySqrl !)
still running out of ways to draw this conversation tho
artist not artsy enough for many of them o_o;;;;
i was only willing to draw them all because writer promised this is the end of the arc and they're leaving now
_finally_
Strip number 50!
New arc starts tomorrow!
I need to make a second page for it on the website. And link to it from the top level. Which means naming it.
Sigh.
Maybe "The Cat's Warlock".
I'd go with "Moon and Her Warlock" but it feels like false advertising since Moon doesn't show up that much. Zhenshay is very much the main character.
New arc time!
Look, new characters!
You can check the alt text to learn their names or you can wait until the author gets around to it in the dialogue, which she presumably will at some point in the next month or two.
oh hey the author named the new characters in the dialogue already. who would've expected.
tho the man's full name is Valor. only Victory calls him Val
In honor of exceeding 50 comics, I have given the comic a name: "The Cat's Warlock".
I renamed the webpage it's on to match the new title, and moved the 0-50 comics to an archive page so that it's not an infinite scroll to get to the newest.
Also updated my site so you can actually navigate to the comics page from the rest of ladyrowyn.com .
The old page redirects to the new 'most recent comics' page, also: https://ladyrowyn.com/thecatswarlock.html
Zhenshay has been talking to these people for three (3) panels and is already So Done.
a mere five panels later, Zhenshay has convinced V&V to address him properly
this is going great
the author assures me that *at some point* she will get to the point of this scene
probably even this month
@Satsuma Zhenshay: "Like a fly caught in a web, I can't help but struggle." x.x
