Cool stuff time!

A new comic touches the subreddit! This one, by u/SketoGuy called "I'm Trying My Best." https://www.reddit.com/r/casualtiesunknown/comments/1wsltpp/im_trying_my_best_comic/ Very promising start, and an interesting premise to say the least! Give it a look in!

That break was definitely much needed. The pain in my hand is all gone and I was able to draw without any discomfort!

As well, thank you, for the sheer wave of support and positivity you all gave me during that time! It's been three months since this comic began, and it still feels so alien to have so many voices cheering me on. You people are all far too nice <3

That said- Over the last few days there's been a number of wonderful things I must share-

First up, a doodle by u/Livergg89 of Teddy getting EXACTLY what they deserve https://www.reddit.com/r/casualtiesunknown/comments/1wjufv7/yes_teddy_you_deserve_better/

Second, two truly beautiful pieces of Orion, by u/JustChickNugget ; https://www.reddit.com/r/casualtiesunknown/comments/1wknags/orions_dream_art_by_justchicknugget_me/ And by u/Timyc10 https://www.reddit.com/r/casualtiesunknown/comments/1wlkfev/dream_of_betelgeuse_hopefulness_fanart/

I cannot overstate how heartwarming it is to be the recipient of such wonderful works, thank you <3

Here it is, the big 100 milestone!

I swear the universe was conspiring to prevent me from completing this page- First, my PC crashed and deleted all my work. Then I was constantly being grabbed for dozens of mini-crises (Like on of our remaining cats taking a huge steaming shit on my sister's bed). Then I had to go an sit with my mum in the fracture clinic for a few hours. (She's doing fine and is recovering well. She broke her foot not long after I broke mine back in June)

I'd wanted to make a longer page. Or do something fancy for it, but with how much the world was fighting to stop me, I decided that I would stick with 'good enough'. There is some fancy stuff planned, but not for a little bit :)

Those last three fuckin' panels nearly made me re-evaluate every life choice I've ever made. OH MY GOD.

But, that's where just throwing up ones hands and saying "Fuck it. Good enough." comes into play. Because fuck it, it's good enough.

You would not believe how many redraws and rewrites of that last panel it took- Holy JESUS it took a while.

And damn. Comparing Teddy now, to Teddy on page 5 is something else. The difference is STARK.

I thought I'd experiment with less text. And more subtext.

Once again, I am bereft of witty things to say, I had two hours of broken sleep and all my morning coffee has done is make me tired, but quickly.

I don't really have anything witty to add today, but what I do have is a trove of cool things to share! Been a while since I did this, huh?

Where to start- First of all, I want to draw peoples attention to u/ImANormalMan 's comic, "Raising Spuds" which is far too precious. https://www.reddit.com/r/casualtiesunknown/comments/1w1i3b4/raising_spuds/

I also really want to draw some attention again to u/BeeSyrup89 with their comic "Dogs in a Bottle." They're all the way up to their 23rd page and things are getting interesting https://www.reddit.com/r/casualtiesunknown/comments/1w3jv5k/dogs_in_a_bottle_pg_23/ PLEASE add some navigation links, I beg of you ;v;

There's also a recently started comic by u/Monzey9185 which is beautifully illustrated and coloured, called "The Decent" https://www.reddit.com/r/casualtiesunknown/comments/1w1mny5/the_decent_part_1/ (Again, please, navigation links!)

T'would be remiss of me not to mention this, by u/H3llew for making a parody page that had me giggling uncontrollably for a good while https://www.reddit.com/r/casualtiesunknown/comments/1w3va6p/hopelessness_part_1/ well played.

And, I must bring attention to this incredibly precious artwork done by u/AntiTankGuidedPancke of Orion getting exactly what they deserve https://www.reddit.com/r/casualtiesunknown/comments/1w430aa/the_cuddle_puddle_of_doom_and_despair_and/

90 pages. Good lord. That's like.. 3-4 standard sized comic books (Granted, my pages are much more sparse). And to think I was originally going to end it on the third.

Good news everyone! I'm not sick!

I think? If I am, it's taking its sweet time to show itself.

For the next few days, pages might be a little later than usual. My family's going on a trip and leave myself to watch the house. So that means even more housework :')

Dunno why, but I woke up feeling like I was going to throw up. I still do. Been a good year or two since I got sick, but hopefully it's nothing! Regardless, sure as hell wasn't going to stop me from drawing a page.

And before you all panic about me resting, just remember; Drawing this comic IS a form of rest for me. It's fun and relaxing!

P.S: I almost forgot to actually attach the page to the post. Oops.

I woke up this morning after 3 and half hours of sleep (which is a lot for me) feeling like I have the flu, without having the flu. Everything aches. But like hell that would stop me from drawing my precious little critters.

It also rained for the first time in almost 3 months. Which is great, but holy shit 65% humidity is HELL right now.

Also, I can safely say that one of you managed to get an absolutely perfect read on Orion a few pages back. So, first of all, get out of my head. And second of all, well done!

I won't say who. So, that much will be up to you to figure out :)

A whole 83 pages. Kinda' nuts when you think it hasn't been 83 days since I started.

I don't really have anything profound to say, today. So, uh, I guess I'll ramble about the Rimworld colony I made with my babies.

They're all alive, and very much thriving. For reasons I cannot explain, the game conspires to make Teddy and Stringbean absolutely hate each other. Biscuit has a fancy archotech replacement arm. Orion is just kinda' there, locked in the research room. And Scraps has an army of robots.

They're up against V.O.I.D. Who I am letting act as a stand-in for "The Company."
