Our protagonists will be moving on next page, promise. In the meantime, there’s a brief description of imperialist violence as they get ready. In this setting, some people live a very long time, and others don’t. Some memories linger.
This page and the next one were originally one rather crowded page. I decided to split it up to give these thoughts some more room.
To that end, I also didn’t put in any backgrounds to speak of on this page. If it ends up being too empty or too confusing, I will add some in on the next draft.
I am so sad to have missed the Chicago Pride Book Fest. My car stopped working on the way out of Milwaukee, and despite trying very hard (we got a jump from roadside assistance, but it didn’t help), we ended up having to head home. Fortunately, it managed to make it there (at like 35 miles an hour, max), so we didn’t get stranded. I’m taking it in to the dealership today.

New pages of Last Watch Before Dawn this week. By my new count, we’re ten pages from the end of this chapter, and there is one chapter left after that.
Almost two thirds of the way done with this first volume!
Our friends here will be moving along shortly, I promise. (For me, drawing two pages a week, it feels like we’ve been in this tent for a month and a half).
I mostly do the same things every week these days, so this I know this space doesn’t really offer much in the way of news, but I do enjoy the opportunity to bring you some new music.
On that note, two more pages of Last Watch Before Dawn this week. We’re about to get our protagonists, and the plot, moving along again.
Sometimes life gives you lemons. Sometimes, life gives you a mortally wounded man suffering from multiple layers of crushing PTSD, all while you’ve got your own problems.
